The theme of both these manga are not similar, but the romance is quite similar. Useless/unpopular girl meets a perfect/attractive guy. The guy is super strict with her and challenges her to improve on her life and improve as a person. They end up falling in love. I love Nodame and Chiaki and when I read DameKoi, it felt like I was reading the same thing sometimes because Michiko and Ayumu act so similar to Nodame and Chiaki.
