In both anime's it starts with a boy and girl within a fight. Now both males have died within thus fight however both found a way to survive. It may be the midsumer nights child or the power of alchemy. Now these "Powers" allow both males to fight along side the stronger female characters. Both get hurt and endangered and leave it up to the female to save them. The traits within the males are quite similar, both wish to be as useful and strong as possible. They then get strong enough to achieve their goal. Both we're great anime's and are almost identical in multiple ways however differ enough to keep you away from that "same" feeling that would occur in the other. They both have a Tsundere-Esque female however the love story is much more evident in No shana.
