Kamisama Hajimemashita

It gives the same feeling that Inuyasha gives but doesn't take itself as seriously. Although, Kamisama is more romance then Inuyasha. If you like a bit of romance, give it a try. I liked Kamisama better then Inuyasha.

Both series feature an at first, somewhat naive and helpless young school girl, who discovers powers she never knew she had.
She meets various Youkai and has adventures!
Inuyasha, is a Shounen with many action scenes and also some romcom, and Kami-Sama Hajimemashita is a romcom with some action scenes.
Both series heavily feature magical powers and 'Youkai'.

Kamisama Hajimemashita is a little like a new-age Inuyasha. Both main female protagonists are regular high school students before they find themselves immersed in a world of youkai. In both cases, the main male lead is a youkai (dog in Inuyasha, fox in Kamisama Hajimemashita) who was once in love with the female lead's previous form/predecessor, as well as both female leads having a key plot object inside of them. Both female leads can travel back and forth through time as well as having to solve problems created by the youkai. Both also include a slow-moving romance between the male and female lead, based largely

Both stories feature a normal school girl who somehow gets involved with demons. Both show a romance between this girl and the main male which is a demon (KH: a Kitsune-fox demon; Inuyasha: Hanyo- half demon).
Both male characters had a dark past and were in love with a human woman.
Inuyasha has more action, drama etc. while KH shows a lot of funny moments. The KH anime doesn't show to much character development because it's really short (13 ep) but is still very enjoyable and easy to watch. It's more suited for girls of course, being a shoujo but if you are a guy

Even though Inuyasha is a shoonen anime and Kamisama Hajimemashita a shoojo anime there are a few things that they have in common, like:
• both heroines have magical powers.
• both heroines are in love with the male leads, who both so happens to be yookais (well in Inuyashas case half yookai) and have white hair.
• the male leads also always comes to the female protagonists rescue when they're in trouble, even though Nanami can handle some of her problems by herself!
• there seems to be the shadow of a past lover in the both animes, though Tomoe didn't remember his st first ...

Both anime contain a theme of spiritual powers and both contain a plot based around an event that takes place at the start of the series. Also, both anime contain a bit of romance between a seemingly normal human girl and an unusual male lead.
They both have :
a demon, who loves someone in their past.
a human girl, who gets involved in demon stuff.
a great love story.
two worlds: demon and human.
fights.
kisses...
In Kamisama Kiss, you will find it's similarities to Inuyasha as astounding. Basically, Kamisama Kiss is Inuyasha's Shoujo counterpart.
Watching it is like watching inuyasha and maid sama! combined.
The main characters are very similar, Tomoe is a powerful demon who is bound - reluctantly - to serve and protect Nanami, a high school girl. The romance is funny, cute and heartbreaking at the same time, the storyline and the animation is superb.
The concept of the bond between a human and a youkai which both contains a ton of comedy, romance between the 2, and some action (Kamisama have less)

My friend criticized me for comparing them, but when I first watched Kamisama it distinctly reminded me of Inuyasha.
A girl finds a hot demon(looks-wise) with a shady past and lands a new job by accident. She then somehow binds him to herself, and eventually falls for him despite his apparent rudeness(after all he's a jerk with a heart of gold). The demon also eventually comes to accept the girl, all the while protecting her through the...uh.. episodes.
The two shows also follow a monster-of-the-week format, with the girls becoming more and more adept in their new jobs(helping and killing respectively). The only difference is that Inuyasha

- Both main characters are human/animal like "Spirits"
- Both main characters have this carefree attitude
- Both stories relate to some human girl falling in love with this spirits
- Very comedic like
- Both want to protect what they love or care for.
Both have cold-hearted demons (with cat ears and long hair!) that were once-tamed and in love with the MC’s ancestor. Both MCs are reincarnations (in a way) of the woman they fell in love with previously. Both MCs are associated with a shrine.
An ordinary girl is thrust into a new, supernatural world and has exciting adventures, along with a white-haired, animal-eared companion to bicker (and eventually fall in love) with. Nanami's Sacred Word Binding over Tomoe is a lot like the beads of subjugation, only more specific.

Both have a high school girl with some sort of demon (with white hair and adorable ears) involved in their lives. They give off the same feeling (if you know what I mean). If you have a bit more romantic taste then I really recommend Kamisama Hajimemashita. If you want a bit more action then I recommend InuYasha. They both have an interesting plot and are very funny.
"Might" contain spoilers :3
(Both)
-Male protagonist are youkais, basically not Humans.
-Male protagonists had shady pasts.
-Male protagonists fell inlove with a human girl which is said to be forbidden or smthng.
-in both animes the Female protagonist resembles their past lovers.
Argues at first, Guy saves girl, falls in love, problem occurs-matters about being a youkai and a human, etc etc.
Similarities:
-The humor is very similar, and although I prefer Inuyasha of the two anime, I would have to say Kamisama made me laugh so much more. It is funnier than Inuyasha.
-In both animes there is a powerful demon/half-demon who is completely loyal to a human girl and ends up falling in love with her even though they think at first that she is unworthy and weak.
-In both animes the main guy has a darkside and a bad past
-In both animes the main girls have special powers that allow them to pierce/excercise miasma and rebuke demons
There are also many differences like the main genre of the

Kamisama Hajimemashita (kiss) and InuYasha are similar in many ways.
1) both have independent leading MC females that kind of over then male MC characters. In InuYasha, the female MC can command the male MC to "sit" (pretty much to stop what he's doing and drop the the ground) The MC female in Kamisama Kiss (using easier name) is kind of the mistress of the MC male and he is her familiar.
2) both MC males are both similar in style with their white hair colored and them being both animal types(supernatural). Like MC male in InuYasha is a (half) dog demon and the

While not the same genre remotely - if you miss the banter of Inuyasha and Kagoma, this series will be right up your alley.
Inuyasha rip-off
Both show literally a white fox person that used to like someone else in the past, the girl then tries to get the white fox to like him. Kamisama in a spinning imagine knock-off InuYasha
The main two love interest interact in a similar way

They both mix in a very good way Demons and Romance, It's beginning is almost the same, there's this girl who has it's own life, suddenly, she got related to this demon who will have to guide her throughout some very difficult situations, in the end she'll become stronger.
(Also: They're "White-haired anime boys" :3)

They have very similar plots and main characters. Although Kamisama Kiss focuses on the romance between the characters more than InuYasha.

Both have a fox boy (?) as the main male character. Although InuYasha has more action and Kamisama is more romance-oriented, they are similar. Both boys loved a girl intensely in the past but she is dead now (although tomoe is over it but Inuyasha is not).

There's a demon furry guy and a priestess. It's sort of like if you take Inuyasha and kagome's love story from Inuyasha, compress it into way fewer episodes but take it a few steps further. I like to think of Kamisama Kiss as the grown-up version of Inuyasha. I personally love both and I would recommend anyone who loves Inuyasha to give Kamisama Kiss a try.
