In order to bridge the gap between humans and youkai, The Ministry of Spirit Affairs was formed. Military man Kei Agemaki is assigned to the new unit and seems to be the ideal candidate. He’s charming, polite, and a complete gentleman, but there’s just one problem: he’s absolutely terrified of spirits! When he arrives at the new headquarters, Agemaki is partnered up with a cute, yet brash, youkai named Zakuro. Now the unlikely pair must work together to solve the region’s spirit-related problems to help improve relations between humans and youkai, and maybe help Agemaki overcome his crippling fear while they’re at it.

President of the Student Council at the almost-all-boys Seika High School, the hard-as-nails Misaki Ayuzawa works every day to make life easier on the small population of co-eds who have enrolled there. Though an unholy terror to all things male during school hours, in order to provide for her impoverished family, she secretly works after school at a maid cafe in Akihabara. However, when campus hottie Usui Takumi wanders into the restaurant during her shift, suddenly she finds her reputation in school at his mercy...
In my opinion Otome Youkai Zakuro is the spiritual successor of Kaichou wa Maid-sama! (pun not intended). First of all, both are done by studio J.C. Staff and succeed each other in terms of airing (Kaichou wa Maid-sama! aired until this season when Otome Youkai Zakuro started airing). The other similarity is the romance which both anime realize in resembling fashion.
Zakuro is the spitting image of Misaki, both tend to act strong and independent in most situation but in moments of weakness they rely on their male partners/friends. And yes, they are tsundere towards the main male characters of the show. Agemaki and Usui are more or less perfect and a showcase examples of bishounen characters, they even slightly match in appearance.
The main characters are pretty similar a handsom main lead and a very independant female in addtion to this they share the same type of relationship. Both are fun to watch and the romance added in both animes make them even better
Natsume is lonely; he has an ability that separates him from others: he can see and interact with spirits. Soon, however, Natsume discovers that he’s not alone: his grandmother Reiko also had the gift. But things get hectic and possibly dangerous for Natsume when he finds out that he also inherited the 'Book of Friends', a book that contains the names of all the spirits Reiko defeated and subjugated. He finds himself hounded by his grandmother's underlings and, with the help of a 'cat' charm spirit, decides to free them from the Book's shackles, as well as protect the book from those who seek to misuse its power...
Light shoujo-esque drama about the conflicts between humans and youkai. Zakuro is more intense and less episodic than Natsume Yuujinchou, but they have a similar mood and animation style.
These series are both (mostly) light-hearted, shoujo-y series that follow the interaction of yokai and humans. Although Natsume is much more episodic, if you like yokai and humans trying to get along, these series fit well.
It is said that the spirit who stood at the helm of the night parade of a hundred demons was the supreme commander of all monsters and lord of Pandemonium, Nurarihyon. Young Rikuo comes from the bloodline of Nurarihyon and is one-quarter demon. Though he has the ability to communicate with, and command youkai he has no intention of succeeding his grandfather as head of the Nura clan, instead choosing to live a normal human life. However, with his family and aides all waiting for him to fully accept the succession and his ‘Night Rikuo’ alter-ego determined to become the next leader, can the young schoolboy fight his fate as a Nura to lead the night parade?
Each of these series focus on the difference between yokai and humans, and those that wish to destroy or help their peace. Each series encounters a large number of yokai and shows several of their fights.
Both series are about the coexistency of demons and humans and of course the ones that oppose that idea. Both series contain decent supernatural fights.

Tactics and Otome Youkai Zakuro are both comic series that depict humans working together with youkai in order to solve various supernatural problems. While the central relationships in each series are different, they both ahve a similar sort of humour to them, which coupled with the deep roots in Japanese folklore makes me think that these are a good match.
Humans working together with demons to solve the demonic problems of humans is the main focus point of both anime. They also both contain a lot of different kinds of demons as well. Fighting is more of a main point in Zakuro, but tactics conatins a fair share of it as well.

These anime are both about myths/magic. They both involve spirits. Both stories are centered around a guy and a girl. They don't know much about each other at first but as time passes by they come to have a liking with each other and they help each other out. In both anime, the girl doesn't really seem to like the guy as much in the beginning, but the guy somehow is charming.
