If you liked Ashita no Ousama add

...then you might like Fukuyadou Honpo add

Another high quality josei from the same scanslation group. Both have great storylines and character development. Ashita has prettier art but Fukuya lets you see more of the sisters. Even if the plots aren't the same, I say if you liked one, try the other.

...then you might like Ashita no Ousama add

I would say that both are very interesting and engaging stories about a girl making it in show business. Both are shoujos and have obvious love stories but somehow both really develop solid relationships and ideas that make these two mangas very enjoyable and even a bit intellectual. Skip Beat is newer and more modern but I like the 90's feel and art of Ashita no Ousama. They both borrow different shoujo stereotypes. Ashita has the innocent girl (not annoying though, just more far-fetched) and Skip Beat has more unrealistic plot developments but none of these get in the way, especially compared with all the other shoujo I read, because the mangakas really know how to put a lot of thought into why/what. To sum, it is worth trying one if you like the other. These two mangas stand out from a sea of shoujo.

If you liked Kaichou wa Maid-sama! add

...then you might like Hakushaku to Yousei add

Very similar type of romance and beautiful drawings. Both female leads are independent and are accustomed to being treated a certain way. Both male leads are persistently pursuing a female who, while being treated extraordinarily, seems to be convinced they do it to all girls. Hakushaku deals with magic and nobles in England and is a bit more actiony. The female lead lacks confidence because of awkwardness. The female lead in Maid however, has a lot of confidence and is brash. Maid-sama takes place high school Japan. Both are good romantic shoujo's. Nothing disgusting though I like both like to push boundaries.
