Neko Ane.

The two read very similarly from start to end; they both feature main male characters whose parents have passed away and a female main character that becomes "family". Both also have the ecchi dialed up to max at the start but mellow out into a bittersweet plot. Mahoromatic is more action-based while Neko Ane is more slice-of-life, but the two have a very similar overall mood and vibe.
