The humor is so similar, plus both stories are about tough women stuck in unfortunate circumstances that they come to grudgingly accept.

There is a situation where the high school students are all working together and form their own group. Eventually the main character of this story also shows love for the female character who starts working as a maid or a server in this case. :]
Both animes deal with heroines who are strong willed, smart, and somewhat poor.
Both series also fit into the comedy/school/slice of life genres.

I found them similar because misaki is poor same as haruhi & they both are in love with (takumi in maid sama & tamaki in OHSHC) although it took them a long time to realize their feelings.

Delicious shoujo! OHSHC has another strong willed and somewhat wrecklessly self reliant heroine with not just one but several very good looking guys looking after her (not to mention the lovely Hikaru and Kaoru twins that are "very close"). VERY worth the watch.

If you like Ouran High School Host Club, you will appreciate Maid-Sama.
Not only is the animation style very similar, but so are the characters. The story is solid, with some hilarious scenes in each episode. You will notice that each individual character in Maid-Sama has a likeness to each character of Ouran. You won't regret watching this show.

I LOVED these 2 animes. Ouran has always been a favorite of mine and when i was recommended Maid-sama i was a little reluctant. but after i started watching i noticed the similarities right away. if you want an anime about gorgeous boys and the tomboy with a secret that steals everyones hearts, these 2 animes are for you! the characters all have similar traits and while watching Maid-sama i was constantly making references back to Ouran! if you're a fan of Ouran then you have to watch Maid-sama and vice versa!
The development in the love story is similar;
The comedy and the events are varied in both anime..
Both anime(s) include a new event in each episode..
However, Host club is funnier :P
But the love story in maid sama is stronger :D
I loved both A LOT!
Both animes have a strong leading female role who have a secret they are trying to keep from fellow students. Both plots have key love interests and several minor love interests that develop throughout the anime.
Even though the stories may seem quite different, the hero and heroine of both shows share a lot of similarities. Tamaki and Takumi (even the names sound similar) are both rich, hot guys who all the girls fall head over heels for but they are only interested in their respective heroines Haruhi and Misaki. The heroines, Haruhi and Misaki, are both diligent girls but come from poor families; they do not care much for boys and focus more on studying and excelling at other things
Both have a driven lead female character that doesn't care too much about guys, and both have the main girl forced somehow to hang out with attractive guys even though they don't want to.
Both anime have a lot of hilarious moments and a lot of cosplaying.
The female leads from both anime, Haruhi and Misaki, are hardworking, intelligent and poor girls who finds the male lead annoying.
Tamaki and Takumi are also similar. They're mixed, rich, hot and have family problems.
I love their anime and manga.
They both have similar art styles. Also, they're both the types of story where the guy likes the girl but the girl isn't really aware of it.
Both anime include a lot of humor and some drama. Overall, these two are on my top lost of anime.

as duas personagens principais são bastante semelhantes,ambas são pobres e quem se apaixona por elas são meninos ricos.
Similar feel and humor. In Ouran, the big thing is host clubs, while in Maid-Sama the big thing is maid cafes - both of which always consist of dressing up and trying hard to appeal to their customers. And obviously the main female leads have some similar characteristics: poor, strong-willed, and followed around by some blonde boy who loves her.
The relationship between Misa-Chan and Usai are alot like the relationsihp the Main characters have in Ouran Koukou Host Club as in she's not interested in him at first and is in away oblivious. But the entire series is hilarious and this is my second favorite show to Ouran koukou Host Club!! Love it!!!

Ouran reminded me a lot of Kaichou Wa Maid-sama for many reasons. The fact Misaki worked for a cosplay café in Maid-sama and in Ouran, most of the main characters work at a host club; which are very similar.
Two of the characters from each show are also similar in personality. Both are natural, poor, and aren't really about frilly girl things. Also the comedy and romance are 2 genres they both have in common.
Pick up your broken dreams and disappointed hearts from the end of Ouran, and head on over to Kaichou, the parallel world where the outsiders' the dude, and the hosting is by gals, and where actual romantic progression is a thing that happens
What more could you possibly want?
Having watched Ouran Highschool Host Club directly after Kaichou wa Maid-sama!, I found the two both appealed to me in very similar ways. Both shows have female characters who are being fawned over. The lead girls are both strong willed and both have secrets which the male protagonist knows. I thought the two shows complimented each other. The two have similar humor, and the artwork is nearly identical.
Both are the similar because they're both a shoujo that would entertain you. Also the main male lead want to keep the occupation of the main female lead a secret. You'll have to watch them to believe it.
the main characters are somewhat similar and the story line is adorable in my opinion. best comedy romance anime.
The heroines of these 2 series are both brave and daring, showing many male characteristics. Of course, this means that the male lead must help the heroines out when they unconsciously put themselves in danger due to their selflessness and desire to help others.

Both are hostess or host, Have a weird main character that loves them, Have financial problems, main character are girls, And both are great
Very similar type of feel thought this show has less characters than Ouran. I enjoyed maid more than Ouran.

Both are shoujo series high on comedy with blond bishonens and female main characters who are not fragile or whiny. However, Maid-sama has much more romance.

Both series have a similar form of comedy and of course the maid service in Maid-Sama can easily be compared to the Host Club of Ouran Academy.
Also in both series, the female lead is tomboyish and the male lead is blonde and secretly obsessed with their respective female lead.

- strong female protagonist with a goal related to money
- protagonists both work as a waitress/hostess job
- protagonist attracts a lot of people ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
- handsome men with blond hair
- other handsome guys that are 1% less fabulous than blond hair man
- protagonist is surrounded by a lot of guys
- centred around romance
It has the same idea of a girl getting put in a position she is uncomfortable with but the one who is putting her in that position cares for her.
they are both based on girls who are not the richest people but fall in love with someone that they at first didnt pay much attention to or didnt know. Tho thet are both great romance animes i've rewatched both at least 4 times

Both anime involve a female protagonist that has to keep a secret from the student body of her school, as well as having a love interest that they both find to be a huge nuisance.
Both are beautiful romance stories, that revolve around a strong female protagonist. They both are also have a slice of life vibe.

Similarity
- school life
- Both main female characters are top students and their families are quite poor
Difference
- Maid-sama have more romantic scene
- Ouran host club is focus more on club activities and other members in club
Which one is better?
I voted for maid-sama ( best to read manga bcz i rly dislike the colour of the uniform)
both are lighthearted romance stories focusing on commoner types falling for an mc thats upper class and also the girls aren't your average type of girl as well too.

The main female character in both series is from a home with not much money and values family and hard work. They are surrounded by men and get into some trouble with different schools. The main male character in both series have a crush on the girl while the girl is constantly denying their affection.
it gives off that 2000s manga feel like ohschc

Maid Sama is like OHSHC if OHSHC embraced it's romantic side a bit more. It's comedic, has characters you'll love, and has a strong, independent main character. By the end, you'll be rooting for the cast in the same way you did the host club. They're both a ton of fun :) and they both have cute boys ;)

Both OG animes deserved more seasons, check out their first episodes and see for yourself. The both are funny as hell too.
similar plot ish, but maids instead of hosts. same great romance, if not even better. tbh like the sister series to ouran host club.

Host club vs. maid cafes, both trying to appeal to their customers, along w/ some romance.
Both Haruhi and Misaki aren't afraid to speak what is on their minds / don't show much fear. Both Haruhi and Misaki are in a way poor, Misaki being actually poor and Haruhi poor to everyone that goes to the same school as she does. There are many more ways the two are similar but I might end up spoiling so I'll just leave it at that.
