both main characters are academic rivals and boy seems to be a natural in terms of looks and brains while the girls works hard to get where she is. Kare Kano like Kaichou wa Maid-sam is a must watch.
Girls with strong personalities and very popular boys are rivals in school, later, as the story progress - couple
in both animes one of the characters has a little secret and the other main character discovers it and it will lead to their friendship and love ... xD
both have female protagonists who, at first, hates the male heroine & determined to win against him. but in the end, they both fall inlove with each other.
if you love Kare Kano, youll love KWMS too.<3

Kare Kano and KWMS are animes that have significant similarities, both plot-wise and character-wise. "Girl has a secret which is accidentally found out by boy. This secret brings them together and they (eventually) fall in love. But of course, there are obstacles in their way. Little by little, they change each other for the better."

The story of an overachieving perfectionist who meets her match in her new classmate. He seems absolutely perfect on the outside, but soon, both their perfect facades begin to fade as they discover each other's true selves. Very cute and romantic :). The male protagonist comes from a rich family.

They're both shoujo anime, romantic comedies. Although Kare Kano focuses a little bit more in romance, especially on the manga, it's an anime with lots of comedy, like Kaichou Wa Maid-Sama. Both often make use of Chibi animation, like a proper Shoujo should be. Kare Kano is from the 90's, and Kaichou from 2010, so you might say Kaichou followed, in parte, the legacy of His And Her Circumstances. Watch'em both if you can! :D

Both competing to be the "model student." Both fall in love with each other, but not at first.

Both series are quite similar in a variety of ways:
We have a main girl who tries to act tough but hides a secret in which the main protagonist early on discovers. Additionally, the protagonist is also smart, popular, and accomplishes takes flawlessly in both series. Yet when it comes to the main heroine, it throw them off occasionally.
Both series contain plenty of drama, comedy, and character appeals. Recommended for fans of shoujo demographic.
•both are of the typical shoujo, romance, school life feel,
•both girl protagonists in each anime are both hard working school students, who favour determination and long periods of studying to excel in their school life.
•both encounter a strong/attractive/handsome/popular male protagonist who has everything, and is already academically smart with an athletic figure.
•both fight each other competing with academic marks in school
•both girl protagonists have secrets that they dont want anyone else to know, but the male finds out early in the series
•both have rivals, making friends, etc, though the difference is the pace of the story is slow in KMS than Kare Kano, which

1. Both main characters or strong independent females, known for their intelligence, athleticism, and beauty
2. Both have a secret that they try to hide from they school
3. Both main males find out the secret
4. Both main males have *intense* pasts (I don't think Kaichou wa Maid-sama goes too much into Usui's past though)
Both lovely romance animes. Truly enjored it thoroughly

For your "she has a secret, and he is blackmailing her" needs, PLEASE watch Kare Kano! It's about a thousand times better in character depth, voice acting (only seen the English dubs), plot, music...basically in every way possible. I stopped watching Maid Sama after only 5 episodes because I would rather rewatch Kare Kano for the third time than waste another second watching Maid Sama!

If you want humor, secret identity, or romance then His and Her Circumstances is similar to Maid Sama.
His and Her Circumstances is a more underground and old 90s(?) anime, but the romance is pretty similar to 2000s. You have the two main characters falling in love, with the head strong female protagonist butting heads with the male protagonist. There are also wacky happenstances and side characters that make these two shows very enjoyable to watch.
