On a day like any other day, Cacao (a chocolate-loving student of magic) awoke to find himself next to a mysterious girl ... made of wood?! Named Hinano, the green-haired beauty wasted no time in professing her very one-sided love to Cacao, much to his dismay.

Nuku Nuku is a cat-android hybrid who was created to protect the peace and thwart the evil schemes of the Mishima Corporation. She lives with her creator's family and masquerades as an ordinary human school girl; however her feline instincts and android strength threaten to reveal her true identity. Nevertheless, she often finds herself forced to use her super-human abilities to protect humanity, usually from the company's malfunctioning products, but will her secret be discovered in the process?
Both series have a similar sense of humor, including their crazy, off-the-wall supporting characters and ridiculous, bizarre situations.
If you like the whole concept of a tree spirit inside the body of a marionette. You'll like Nuku Nuku for the fact that a cat is in a robots body. Both are set in a school environment Although Trouble Chocolate is more romantic then Nuku Nuku. The leading female characters are somewhat the same. Also Magic (TC) vs Science (Nuku).
Ryunosuke and his father are running away from his crazy mother when, feeling the urge to answer nature's call, Ryunosuke finds a cute little alley cat and decides to keep it. Almost immediately after, they are caught in a fire fight with his mother's lackeys. Tragically the poor cat dies and Ryunouske is heartbroken, but luckily his inventor father just happened to bring along a deactivated robot. By placing the cat's brain in the robot, Nuku Nuku is born! Now all they have to do is teach Nuku Nuku how to behave like a normal girl instead of a super-strong, cat-brained robot, while trying to avoid a mother's wrath!
Both Trouble Chocolate and Nuku Nuku place some over the top characters in over the top settings without really worrying about how it will fit into the overall plot.
On a day that seemed ordinary, a spaceship crash landed in Tokyo bay, filled to the brim with beautiful aliens that would come to be known as DearS. Since that day, though all of Japan seems to have gone DearS-crazy, one high school boy named Takeya it still not impressed by the phenomenon. But things change for Takeya when he finds a lone DearS girl on the side of the road, who forces herself into his apartment, and his life! Now, he must brave a plethora of complications, misunderstandings, and embarassments, when all he wants to do is be left alone!
Haruto Hojo is the son of a priest, which might sound normal. However, his school is the ground zero gathering point for everything ghost, spirit, and likewise, thanks to the obsessed (and also a ghost) headmaster of the school! In order to make sure everything runs normally, Hojo (who just wants to live a normal life), along with Mutsuki (prodigal Japanese priestess), and Kazumi (a frequently possessed monk), complete tasks that only seem to make the school more strange and hectic!
Both deal with protagonists who just want a "normal" life, but seem unable to achieve that! What especially struck me was the similar art style and wacky shenanigans of the characters. If you liked one, the other is worth checking out!
