In my review I explained the similarities. Deals with teenagers put into surrogate parenting roles, for one reason or another, of a preschool relative. In Aishiteruze Baby, it's a teenage boy who's taking care of his baby cousin after her mother abandons her. And you see a developing romance with his schoolmate. This story is a teenage girl who's already in a long term relationship with her boyfriend taking care of her baby sister after their mother passes away. Of course in both stories these teenagers do have other relatives. But both focuses on their intimate relationsihp with their sibling.

Toradora!

It's the dog/master relationship. We have a pretty strong and in-your-face girl owning a male classmate who's basically a rebel (Ryuuji who's the male dog is not a rebel in Toradora!, he just looks like one. ^_^). From that relationship seems to be growing something deeper. Plus a lot of feelings were hidden behind the guise of dog/master.

Datte Ai ja Nai!?
|
Extremely similar story. Similar situation where male lead ends up in debt because of a someone else then inadvertently develops feelings and/or relationship with Alpha male lender. In the case of Okane Ga Nai it's a cousin. In the case of Datte Ai ja Nai!? it's a close friend. Then through that the borrowing, lead male, ends up in a situation in which he knows he can never pay back the lender and in some respects making the debt increase ten-fold. The only real difference are the characters of the lead males. In OGN he's weak and feminized to to the worst possibly weak and needy persona. In DAjN, he's far better and definitely not weak, but ridiculously naive and gullible and far from feminized. Another slight difference is the lender, second lead, of DAjN doesn't have a twisted obsessive/possessive streak like in OGN.

Very similar storyline minus the supernatural element found in Akuma na Eros. But it's a young girl who's basically objectified (and suffers within that role), is young around 14 or 15, she's definitely obsessed over and possessed without her being as complacent as the girl found in Kindan. Similarly the lead girl in Akuma na Eros is also dealing with the male lead as an authority/guardian figure in her life as seen in Kindan. However, AnE seems to be more romantic than K-SG.

Sweet II - Embrace Me Until I Break

Comparisons? Just a compilation of fantastic love stories. This is a younger set of people in Sweet II rather than the more "mature" romances found in Ningyo Ouji, with 5 or 6 romances than NO's 3. While NO is smut-heavy, Sweet II is more so implied. But great love stories none-the-less. You'll have fun with Sweet II - Embrace Me Until I Break (no there is no Sweet I) as you will with Ningyo Ouji. Give it a gander. ^_^ Happy Manga-love.

This is similar in various ways. It reflects what I said is found notorious in Yaoi's which this is. A rich male buys a weak individual. In this case it's a soft hearted boy who will do anything for family. In Kindan it's a young girl in need of love. Through "rape" or "reluctant sex" ---- or I have heard described in relation to work by Mayu Shinjo "concensual rape" (whatever that is! ugh!). This man of power and money dominates over their obsession in every way; particularly sexual... and calls it love. There are also issues of close friends developing feelings for their obsession and/or for the main male.
