If you liked Jitsu wa Watashi wa add

...then you might like Yuragi-sou no Yuuna-san add

Stylistically they're quite different both in terms of art and narrative, but if you're craving a comedy with a supernatural harem both fulfill that. Yuragi-sou no Yuuna-san is a bit more fantasy-based, while Jitsu wa Watashi wa has more sci-fi elements, but it doesn't make much difference overall.

If you liked Kamisama Hajimemashita add

...then you might like Noragami add

While the tone is different throughout, both manga take traditional Japanese mythology as the fantasy setting's starting point, and deal with human interactions with the supernatural. Noragami is more action-focused, while Kamisama Hajimemashita has a bit more focus on romance. Both feature a good deal of humour and sprinkle in more serious and dramatic moments, so if you enjoy one there is a good chance you'll enjoy the other.

If you liked Tasogare Otome x Amnesia add

...then you might like Yuragi-sou no Yuuna-san add

Both are romance-ish ecchi-ish comedy-ish manga that revolve around an amnesiac ghost and a male MC who has the ability to see and help them. "Tasogare Otomoe x Amnesia" leans much more heavily on horror (with horror being entirely absent from "Yuragi-sou no Yuuna-san"), features junior high characters instead of high schoolers/adults, and it is more melodramatic and serious.

If you liked Yuragi-sou no Yuuna-san add

...then you might like Bokutachi wa Benkyou ga Dekinai add

Despite having different subject matter, both series are very, very, very similar stylistically. Both involve a poor male MC who becomes surrounded by a harem who he helps with their problems. Both are typical ecchi, harem, shonen rom-com stuff, but if you like one series you'll almost certainly like the other.

If you liked Kaichou wa Maid-sama! add

...then you might like Namaikizakari. add

Both manga feature a somewhat unlikely romance between hard-working teen girls and hot idol guys who love teasing them. Both girls want to keep the inevitable romances a secret and struggle to deal with how this will affect their social position (as in, getting hated for dating a guy "above" them, etc.). Both are also very funny and have lots of heartwarming moments and cute romance.

If you liked Kimi ni Todoke add

...then you might like Suki tte Ii na yo. add

Both manga feature an unpopular and friendless female lead who is lowkey cute and incredibly caring get together with a very popular and beautiful male. Suki tte Ii na yo has a lot more f*cking in its plot, and the romances move and develop more quickly than those in Kimi ni Todoke. Overall if you liked one you'll probably like the other.

If you liked Dragon Head add

...then you might like Hyouryuu Kyoushitsu add

If I were to pick one manga that was the biggest influence on Dragon Head it would be The Drifting Classroom (Hyouryuu Kyoushitsu). Both involve students trapped in an apocalyptic setting and having to deal with a new world they neither understand nor enjoy. Dragon Head is scarier than The Drifting Classroom, and has a more ambiguous plot, however they both mine similar territory when it comes to generating fear. Both also take inspiration and influence from Lord of the Flies.

If you liked Baccano! add

...then you might like Durarara!! add

Both Baccano! and Durarara!! were made by the same studio, director and are both originally by the same LN author. Both shows feature a zany ensemble cast with multiple, seemingly divergent plot lines that converge and coalesce in really interesting ways. Both shows are also quite funny. If you liked one you'll like the other.

If you liked Dragon Head add

...then you might like 6000 add

6000 was heavily inspired by Dragon Head--both feature pitch black darkness as a central theme, and explore ideas of fear. Dragon Head has a more epic-style narrative than 6000, and explores apocalyptic themes as well. It was also highly acclaimed at the time of release, and well worth it for fans of very well-written horror. 6000 is more focused on straight up terrifying you than Dragon Head, but it is also extremely well written and concise. It has a good balance of frightening moments and a never-ending feeling of dread.

If you liked Kozure Ookami add

...then you might like Shurayuki-hime add

Both were written by Koike Kazuo, and both stories feature a prominent revenge plot. Lady Snowblood takes place during the Meiji, so it's set in a different period, but it features the same kind of character-based drama and action as Lone Wolf & Cub.

If you liked Kozure Ookami add

...then you might like Kubikiri Asa add

Samurai Executioner is an episodic prequel to Lone Wolf & Cub that follows Yamada Asaemon, a very minor character who confronts Ogami Itto on the Shogun's orders. Samurai Executioner has the same writing art style as Lone Wolf & Cub, and has a very similar tone. If you're a fan of Lone Wolf & Cub it's worthwhile to also read Samurai Executioner. There isn't the same kind of story arc, but as a companion piece it's phenomenal.

If you liked Serial Experiments Lain add

...then you might like Steins;Gate add

Steins;Gate has a more traditional narrative structure compared to Serial Experiments Lain, but there are some notable similarities. Firstly, the cinematography and mise-en-scene of Steins;Gate takes great influence from Serial Experiments Lain (notably in terms of lighting and sound). Beyond that, both shows explore humanity's relationship with technology in science fiction terms.
