If you liked Chou yo Hana yo add

...then you might like Hapi Mari: Happy Marriage!? add

Both protagonists are office ladies who are navigating their first real relationship with their bosses. Chouko and Chiwa are both virgins and come from former noble families who are now broke and somehwat disgraced. They also both have some former master/servant tie to their love interests although in Hapi Mari, this is not as large a part of the story as it is in Chou Yo Hana Yo.

...then you might like Hapi Mari: Happy Marriage!? add

Both series are about OLs who are navigating their first relationship in quite some time, although Hotaru is far less innocent about sex and romance than Chiwa. Both also feature personal relationships between working women and their bosses. Similar comedy styles as well.

If you liked Nodame Cantabile add

...then you might like Glass no Kamen add

The stories of the two lead characters (Nodame and Maya) have a great deal in common. Though Glass Mask is not comedic, like Nodame Cantabile, they both feature female protagonists who exist somewhat outside of their artistic communities. Both are phenomenal raw talents who struggle to find their niche amongst those who may be more technically skilled in their respective fields, but who often lack their same level of emotional committment. The romance stories in the two series are handled differently, but similarly at the same time. Instead of pairing these characters up with their respective partners immediately, and then facing numerous obstacles all together, these romances develop slowly and subtly. Even the smallest of moments between the various couples can make your chest clench. Anyone who has enjoyed one of these series will definitely enjoy the other as well.
