Kanamemo
Synopsis:
After her grandmother dies, thirteen year-old Kana Nakamachi runs away from home convinced her absent parents will sell her. She tries to find a job, but with nowhere willing to hire a girl of her age without parental consent, she is back at square one. Then, to make matters worse, a young girl called Yume crashes her bicycle into Kana and knocks her unconscious! Following this chance encounter, Kana learns of a job vacancy at the newspaper company that Yume works for and quickly applies. Now Kana has secured herself a live-in job delivering newspapers along with her new co-workers: lively Yume; quiet Yuki; drunken and perverted Haruka; money-hungry Hinata; and grade school deputy manager, Saki. From memorizing her paper route to learning how to ride a bicycle to fixing her terrifying smile, Kana’s new life has only just begun.

Join this cute quartet as they do cute (and often devious) things in cute and quirky ways!

add recBoth Ichigo Mashimaro and Kanamemo are slice-of-life series with a lot of comedy thrown in. While the comedic content of Kanamemo is more wacky than that of Ichigo, if you enjoyed one, it's worth checking out the other.
Those two series are both slice-of-life comedies with similar artwork. Be warned that Kanamemo's humor is a LOT whackier, and Ichigo Mashimaro is definitely cuter, but both shows portray the same themes, though each in a different manner.
Both anime have a group of wacky girls that do hilarious things together. Kanamemo takes things to the more crazy odd side of humor but both anime have amazing characters that are sure to make you giggle and go awwwww with cuteness. Check out one if you liked the other.

add recBoth Kanamemo and Hidamari Sketch focus on a slightly ditzy female lead, who is living alone for the first time - albeit through different circumstances. Both Kana from Kanamemo and Yuno from Hidamari Sketch are looked after by their new housemates as they're shown the ropes. Both also share a similar comedic tone so if you like one, then it's worth checking out the other.
Both anime are about a girl who comes to a new place and needs to learn the ropes and has lots of friends to help her along the way. Both have a funny way at looking at certain things that will make you laugh although Kanamemo is much more wacky and random with some undertones of shoujo-ai check out one if you liked the other as they are sure to make you giggle.

add recIf someone saw kanamemo and decided to load up flash CS3 and make their own version of it, it'd probably be like yurumates.
Both have weird humor and weird people in an otherwise normal setting.
Kanamemo and Yurumates both centre on a young girl moving into a new home and making new firends. Both protagonists from each series have an active imagination and adapt to their new lives. While Yurumates is more slow paced than Kanamemo, if you like one, it's worth checking out the other.

add recWhile Kanamemom is way more perverted than Azumanga they both are comedy about girls, featuring a similar theme. A young and unbelievably cute girl is suddenly thrown into environment of few years older girls, who can't help but adore and tease her. You like one of the show, you'll like the other as well.
