Well, the two main characters of Kaichou wa Maid-sama! are the top two students at school. The same is very much true for Special A (the plot sort of revolves around it). Also like in Special A, Misaki from Maid-sama considers Takumi her enemy while Takumi oh so obviously has an interest in Misaki. The main pairings are similar is my main point. Bascially, if you like Kei and Hikari's relationship, but want some faster development, Kaichou wa Maid-sama is a good manga to read.

The characters if the main characters in these two series are quite similar. The male protagonists, cool, cocky, admired, so perfect they don't seem human, and in love, and the heroines, determined to be the best, quite oblivious, quick-tempered... The two are just very similar. Maid-sama advances a bit quicker than Special A does, and Special A puts more of a focus on secondary characters, but the two leave you with the same fuzzy feeling after reading them.

A boy in love with a girl, who do not know it, and who treats him as rival. similar thread, but in a different manner.

Romatic comedies about girls with strong personalities, who "compete" with a bit eccentric, but handsome boys and later fall in love with them

The main girl is smart, inhumanly strong, and can't cook, just like Hikari. Also the guy that she falls for is really similar. It's really funny and sweet too..

I strongly recommend those who enjoy Special A to read KWMS and those who read KWMS to read Special A. Similarities: -Both follow a similar plot -Both male leads chases after the female leads -Both female leads have very strong characters -Both are very fluffy, a.k.a. cheesy. And last but not least, both are great mangas. ;)

Lol...whenever reading Kaichou wa Maid-sama...I practically felt it was sequel to Special A, with the extremely intelligent, talented,rich, and good looking male lead...and strong, determined, poor, loveable female lead. They're really similar. xD

Both are school-life, romance, and comedy-oriented. The lead female characters Misaki Ayuzawa (Maid-Sama) and Hikari Hanazono (Special A) as well as the lead male characters Usui Takumi (Maid-Sama) and Kei Takishima (Special A) have similar personalities. Reading either series will remind you of the other though each is still unique in its own way.

Overall, KwMs and SA are just the same. There are two main characters: girl and boy, the girl is not feminine, is hardworking, smart, and could be tsuntsun-deredere towards the boy, and the boy is a superhuman that might be considered too perfect as a human being, and the story resolves around those two; the girls might not show any interest in the boy which is obviously liking her since the beginning, but slowly those feelings developed. Typical shoujo stories, but they are all good to read.

Rivalry between Hikari and Kei is very similar to rivalry between Usui and Misaki. Also, the main guys are inlove with heroine and both heroines are oblivious about it.

They are sooo similar. Both protagonists are extremely strong and good at everything, but they are in second place to an annoyingly amazing guy. Both girls are kind of clueless when it comes to love, but Misaki from KWMS tends to blush more at Usui's flirting, while Hikari doesn't really react at all. Usui and Kei both are only interested and have only ever been interested in the main girls. When I first read KWMS, I thought "Wow, Misaki is like Hikari but without boobs." Also, both guys are rich, while both girls are poor.

Both manga's are set in a school, are Shoujo mangas and have strong, independent heroines. Both heroine are a bit dense when it comes to love while the special A heroine being very dense when it comes to matters of the heart. The male love interest always scores No.1 in the test ranking while the heroine is always 2nd. Special A is set in a elite private school while Maid-Sama is set in a poor public school that is about 80% male. In Maid-Sama the heroine is the student council president trying to improve the school bad reputation while secretly working as a maid. She has a dislike of   read more

Usually, in your typical popular shoujo manga you see the male lead being the perfect guy who is good at everything. While this is the case in both series, the twist is that the heroines are also the perfect, independent girls who are good at studying, being a leader, sports, everything. Naturally, our independent heroines think they can outdo the boys in every aspect, and compete with them to see who is the best.

Both manga feature a strong, smart, and hard-working female lead with a guy she can't seem to beat, even though he is barely trying. Also, both guys like the girls, but the girls are too oblivious to notice.

The stories are very very similar. The artwork has the same feel to it, the main characters in Maid-Sama resemble the main characters in Special A, same type of strong (but thick-headed/clueless) female lead and an even stronger male who is obviously in love with the female lead and seems to be the only one who can surpass the female in any event/competition/etc). These mangas both contain the typical shoujo manga elements: love triangles, poor female lead, rich male lead, and harem atmospheres. Basically if you like one manga you will most certainly like the other.

Long story short: Hot, famous, rich guy like "poor" girl that is some how special to his eyes but not to other. And the jokes xD

Both male protagonists care for and are deeply in love with the female protagonists. Also, they are rich and are more involved with the corporate world. Both female main characters are air-headed and don't realize that they are loved. They are poor and have financial difficulties. They are both somewhat self-reliant and want to work on their issues themselves. Both series have plenty of funny scenarios and memorable romantic moments. Both series are set within high school.

Both have strong female protagonists. Always working hard, doing their best. They also have the genius-like male protagonists as well

The female leads are similar. Strong and are great leaders. the male leads are similar too. They both expressss their love a lot compared to the female lead😂 its funny. What's the most similar is that both the male leads are forced to go to England and are forced to stay there. The female leads go and bring them back. So what I am saying is, if you like Maid Sama, I am sure you will like Special A too!
