The Wallflower - Recommendations

leala81 says...

If you liked YNSH, you'd also like Ouran because they are both reverse harem anime.

pnytenshi says...

Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge and Ouran are a bit similar in that both make the main character into something else. Both shows are very hilarious, and Nabeshin makes cameos in every single episode for all of you Excel Saga fans!

iary says...

Talk about crazy school life... especially when it includes a group of good-looking young men. The situations in these anime are similar. In Yamato Nadeshiko, the guys are trying to change Sunako into the perfect lady; while in Ouran, the male group needs to hide Haruhi's true gender, although Tamaki is usually trying the exact opposite thing :P. Anyways, I do believe that once you've seen one of these two, you'll definitely enjoy the other as well. Both of them are a lot of fun, contain strong and stubborn characters and both show just how mad school years can be ;) Enjoy!

AnCQ says...

Both Yamato and Ouran have pretty boys (who are very popular at their high school) that are in charge of one lady. Together, they encounter funny problems and solve them.  Both anime are funny, and you'll certainly find one high-school boy you like.

cema says...

The comedy that occurs in every episode ties these two brilliant reverse harem series together. In some ways, the female protagonists are always different than all the other girls in the series, which makes them more likeable and it's more interesting to see their reactions when something happens. Comedy is the main category of these two series but there is occasionally some romance that occurs between the characters.

neutrino says...

The main characters of YNSH and Ouran are quite alike. Neither are ladylike (Sunako is obviously worse), and they are always running from their true feelings. The best part of watching these shows is seeing the characters' evolution and slow realization of what they truly feel.

dreaming0 says...

Both Host Club and Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge have not-so-feminine girls surrounded by bishounen guys, and use quirky comedy to spoof many shojo cliches. The main difference is that while Host Club's Haruhi seems oblivious of her harem's charms, poor Sunako hemorrhages at the sight of the radiant creatures around her.

Napalmitos says...

Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge and Ouran both have the same kind of humour and are both really fun. ^^

Even the characters look alike, but I didn't mind.

ZenithAstrali says...

Yamato and Ouran are both reversed harem anime, in which a girl enters a men's club and the men try to change her. Along the way they all learn new things about the opposite side, try to get along, and discover feelings they don't want to acknowledge. Not to mention, both are very funny stories and the guys are gorgeous.

LaughOnceInARedMoon says...

Ouran and Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge have similar plot lines involving a girl who is suddenly thrown into the humorous world of some handsome and popular guys.

skarlet13 says...

Plain heroines surrounded by beautiful men, need anyone say much more? Both Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge and Ouran have that crazy humor element, yet somehow prove the main characters have a deeper story than just constant smiles and laughter.

elthyra says...

If you like Host Club, you'll like Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge (or vice versa) because the stories are similar; they both are about a girl who is not lady-like and is surrounded by bishonen. They also both are comedies with some romance elements.

lovepink says...

If you like funny comedies, then Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge and Ouran High School Host Club are for you. The weird characters of both series also have painful pasts that are ready to be divulged as the series go by.

xiaoberry says...

Both anime centre around a female character that is not necessarily the typical high school girl. You have Haruhi in Ouran who is poor and doesn't fit in with the rest of the school because of that, therefore she becomes in debt to a club and humour, love and insanity ensues. In Yamato, there is Sunako, the dark, in-secure and sort of scary outsider. Both anime are reverse-harem and these female characters are surrounded by a group of far too charming/good looking guys. Both, however, grow to overcome their fears as well as accept who they are.

Rizu says...

Ouran High School Host Club and Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge are both reverse harem, shoujo-style parodies/comedies. Both are hilarious and bishonen-filled (although they look more bishoujo at times, in Yamato), and both feature similar themes or gags throughout (for example, the hordes of screaming fangirls that follow the male leads about, or the bishonen dressing up in drag-- much to the adoration of their ogling female fans).

However, Yamato is, while still clearly comedic, a good deal darker and...shall I say, more schizophrenic and flighty than Ouran. Ouran could pass rather easily as a normal shoujo anime, parodies aside. I couldn't quite say the same for Yamato-- I would call it a cross between Ouran and Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei (darker than Ouran, much lighter and with more chibification than Sayonara). That said, I believe that fans of either show would do well to, at the least, try out the other. The style of humor is similar, many of the characters are fairly similar, the artistic style is fairly similar. And both are darned funny.

naituramin says...

Both series are filled with beautiful boys and a girl who has to deal with them. Both Loaded with comedy that will make you roll on the floor laughing.

lovelyduckie says...

Both anime feature an unorthodox high school girl surrounded by a group of amazingly good looking high school boys that are constantly showering our heroine with friendly attention. But the main similarity is that these are both comedy/romance shows with much more emphasis on the comedy aspect and less on the romance. The lack of high school angst is refreshing!

xXxRockRainbowxXx says...

If you like a story's about a girl thrown into a world were she is anything but comfortable then Ouran High School Host Club and Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge are two animes that you would really enjoy.

In Ouran Haruhi Fujioka, mostly called Haruhi, a scholarship student to the school, because of the high costs of uniform she wears slacks, polo shirts and Jumpers combined with the fact that she wears thick glasses she is mistaken by the Host Club, after the incident that gets her involved with the Host Club, as a boy. Haruhi is indebted to the Host Club and cannot pay it of so the Host Club employ her as their lackey, Haruhi carries on pretending to be a boy until she can pay of her debt.

In Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge Sunako Nakahara, mostly called Sunako, is thrown into living with Kyohei Takano, Takenaga Oda, Yukinojo "Yuki" Toyama and Ranmaru Morii, four dazzling boys which she cannot be in the same room with without getting a nose bleed. Sunako after being called ‘Ugly' in middle school by the boy she fancied, and the first person she confessed her love too, turned into someone that turns away from all the beauty that she sees, including herself. It is Kyohei, Takenaga, Yuki and Ranmaru's job to turn Sunako into a woman, if they do this they will get there living rent free as Sunako's Aunt is the Landlady.

Ouran High School Host Club and Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge are both reverse harem, both are hilarious and bishonen-filled comedies with similar themes or gags throughout. In conclusion they are different from each other and if you like one you should give the other one a go.

Tomikohara says...

As soon as I watched Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge, I thought of Ouran High School Host Club. Both are reverse harem, with the main characters in each lacking in "lady manners", and of course, both shows are ridiculously funny!

samhanjosh says...

Ouran and YNSH have "WTF" and "ROTFLMAO" moments. The comedy is just so random and goofy, how could you not love it? If you love chibis and gorgeous boys, you'll love these series!

cassiesheepgirl says...

Both Ouran High School Host Club and Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge are comedic series that focus on trying to change the central female character. Both Haruhi and Sunako are girls who are far from feminine or graceful, who are then thrown into a world filled with beautiful guys, who are acting as 'mentors' to bring out the more refined side of them, much to the girls annoyance. If you like the humour and hints of romance in one of these series, give the other a watch.

Kalona says...

Although the two series have their differenced, Ouran Highschool Host Club and Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge are both great to watch if you liked one. The boys in both series are all very handsome, driving girls crazy for them with just a wink! In addition, Haruhi and Sunako are both not your average girls. They seem to only want to do their own thing, no matter what others think they should do. However, the boys are both seemingly set on changing the girls, but there may be something more they find...

Iahel says...

What could possibly be better for a girl than getting into some guys community. One girl, supposable stupid and obvious, few guys (more - better) as pretty as you couldn't even imagine. Here we go, this is shojo. But our todays guinea pigs are different. It's a total parody on all shojo cliches and many other things like date-sims, yaoi and so on. Better to watch first some classical stuff like Fushigi Yuugi, success guarantied.

Both Ouran and YNSH starts with typical and than crush all your hopes to predict movements. Prepare yourself for unstoppable laugh. Ouran is more delicate, YNSH hitting a raw nerve without hesitation. If you're shojo addict or smth like this try to bust stereotypes and than you'll definitely find those series amazing.

wickedshizuku says...

TWO OF THE BEST SHOJO ANIME'S I'VE EVER SEEN!!!

Both of these anime are centered around your highschool heroin. Who, in their own opinion, are punished by God. One by breaking a vase and the other for having low self-esteem. Comedy ensues as you follow these girls around in their bizaare worlds.

yuujin says...

Not an ordinary girl surounded by a bunch of dazzling boys, this phrase could go as description to both: Ouran High School Host Club and Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge. Both main girls in these animes have complex on their looks and both of them in their own charms imprese and attract those boys they hang out with. At first they only see the girls as a buddy, a friend, but later deeper feeling starts developing.

Kirowyn says...

Both of the main girls of these anime's have a lot in common. Neither of them is your average girl, and they're both surrounded by attractive males.

MariJine says...

Distinctly out of place amongst a group of handsome boys, the protagonists of both animes are unexpectedly thrust into their world of glamour and excitement. Whether it be their appearance or social standing that seperates these girls from the adored men around them, they are nonetheless forced to associate with them. Gradually, changes come about in each character with great humour and unlikely circumstances.

wolfangel87 says...

Ouran high School Host Club and Yamato Nadeshiko Shinchi Henge both involve a group of very good looking guys trying to turn a girl that doesn't quite fit in with the society around her into the perfect woman.  The girls characters are both independently strong in their own right which takes a hilarious turn in the series when they try and stand up for themselves.

AirCommodore says...

This is kind of an obvious recommendation, but I'll do it anyway.

Both are reverse-harem shoujo anime, but there is a lot more emphasis on the comedy than romance. I found YNSH to be quite a bit funnier, but the characters in Ouran were better-developed. Both feature a cast of gorgeous/totally wacky boys (the personas of the boys from each of these shows could fairly easily be matched up to another from the other (if that makes any sense to anyone but me)) and an "odd" girl (or, at least, different for your average anime female lead).

Both were really charming, and managed to keep my attention for 25-ish episodes, which is quite a feat.

tsurugiayame says...

Both of these anime are kind of parodies... and I should say really funny parodies. In case of Ouran you started to laugh in the beginning of the first episodes and probably you laugh even now when you recall some scenes. And it will be similar in case of Yamato nadeshiko shichi henge. Group of bishies trying to make creepy Nakahara Sunako into fine lady... you just have to see that. And if you're into bishies, this anime is just must-see for you :-)

liltootsiepop says...

Both of these series have a very popular ongoing comic book series, are both comedies and have ridiculously similar premises.  However, Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge is a parody series, and therefore pokes fun at series like Ouran High School Host Club.  Also, both shows also have a really unique female lead, which is quite rare.

kenikki says...

If you'll like one, you'll most likely like the other. They both have very similar settings, with a girl who's a bit special surrounded by good looking weirdo guys. The main reason I recommend this is because the style of humor of these shows are very much alike. I laughed like crazy to both series.

SunshinexKite says...

Yamato Nadeshiko is basically in my thoghts a Ouran Hostclub series minus the trap main character and adding a horror obsessed girl to the bunch. Their both funny both in the same and opposite ways. And their art styles are great.

nitaipriya says...

I cannot watch one anime without remembering the other. Gorgous guys (whose stories are deeper than they appear), and one girl stuck in the middle of their lives... random comedy and random episodes ... with romance appearing here and there.... waiting every episode for the characters to realize their feelings ... and laughing your bottom off everytime a parody of your favorite anime pops up - how could you love one series and not the other :).

lasstiana says...

Both are reverse harem, and although Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge is darker than Ouran High School Host Club, the story lines tend to be similar.

Galadriel says...

both Ouran High School Host Club and Wallflower have the same type of heavy comedy aspect that will keep you laughing hard until the end, both animes feature female protagonists surrounded by handsome male protagonists and both feature the same main aspect, girls which enter in a "men's club" and the men that try to change them.I think that if you liked one of them then definitely you will enjoy the other one as well.

RosesHaveThorns17 says...

These animes both have less-than-feminine lead characters that leave these girl-enchanting boys clueless. Though the story lines are similar in many ways, it won't feel like you're watching the anime over.

ch0p5tixmast3r says...

Both of these series will leave you saying WTF? After each episode. They are both comedic and have a female heroine that is not... normal. Ouran and Wallflower are both reverse harem.

bishounensuki says...

if you liked the wallflower you should also like OHSHC and the other way around!

they're both reversed harems and they both have good looking guys in it! sunako nakahara is a very special girl since she likes sceletons and stuff like that and she is manly.. while haruhi fujioka looks like a guy but inside she is a girl, if u know what i mean.

they both make u laugh and they make u want to read the manga, since the anime's incomplete!

LunaLeo says...

Both of these animes are epic they are extremely funny and amazing to watch. They are both are about girls that have to co-exist very closely with the most popular boys of their school which makes life impossible for the tomboys they are. They meet challenges that can be completely insane and that would never happen in real life.
They are a great thing to watch for a pick me up or if you just want to relax and have a good giggle. 5/5 

luvkitties says...

If you enjoy reverse harem types of anime, then both Ouran high school host club and Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge are definitely the anime to watch. Both have not so normal female leads surrounded by bishounens in order to “change” them (Ouran making Haruhi into a male host in order to pay her debts, and YNSH trying to turn Sunako into a fine lady to save their rent). The characters growth towards each other is interesting as well. However, YNSH has a much darker theme than Ouran. Most importantly, they are both extremely funny and are quite similar in some ways. Highly recommend! 

Gummybug says...

These two animes are very similar, In many sences but there are so many differances too...

The genre is the same, and the harem aspect is the same, I whould deffinatly reccomend these animes to anyone who likes this kinda of genre.

(Sorry its so short im not so good at these! xD thanks for reading)

hamletsmage says...

A girl who doesn't quite fit in? Surrounded by bishounen chracters attempting to change her? With a flamboyant guardian as her main caretaker? Is the comedy of the over-the-top antics variety? Does Vic Migogna play a character in the English dubbed version? Then, you have both Ouran and Wallflower. 

holycraploveanime says...

There both very funny and have girl leads who are forced into being surrounded by cool, smart, hot, popular guys. If you liked one of them i'mpositive you'll like the other.

Odynia says...

totally over exagerated emotions which can make you cringe  or cramp up from laughing. far from ordinary heroine surrounded by very pretty femenine guys. both feel good addictive series

aniytlia says...

Pretty boy reverse harems, the comedy in Wallflower's a bit different in a more immature and somewhat sexualized sort of way, but I really enjoyed both of them :) 

Shiryuki says...

If you liked to watch Ouran HS host Club, then you will also love to watch this anime series yamato nadeshiko, both of them are Reverse harem with comedy and romance

mechasally says...

they are both shoujo and are mstly put out for females and have many humerous scenes, the main factor isn't romance however for either no matter how much you just want them to fall in love <3 Hope I helped!

royalmidnight says...

Both include a heroin who doesn't care much about keeping up their appearances, but when a group of good looking boys joins the mess, everything gets turned upside down!

pinkchicmagnifique says...

Same set up in a reverse harem. The only difference is that the guys in ouran host club are not "that creeped out that haruhi is a commoner". The comedy in wallflower is a little more over the top and the comedy in ouran is better written. The characters in ouran are also a little more fleshed out.

pandoreye says...

• Reverse harems
• Hilarious situations with pretty boys and a girl who isn't girly
• A touch of romance

yamamotochigusa says...

Both are reverse harem-shoujo animes. The characters are somewhat similar. The male leads have blonde hair. The difference is that Kyohei and Tamaki both have opposite personalities. Both of them have a crush on the female character and get jealous when they are with other men. Most of the harem is shown to be wealthy and the female characters are shown to be standing out.

FullmetalDragon says...

Both are series featuring unusual girls surrounded by good looking guys. They have similar senses of humour too, so if you enjoyed one you'd probably enjoy the other too. 

ItamiLebensmude says...

Both YNSH and OHSHC have lots in common, in which I will list some of the traits below to give you a better outlook. OHSHC is about a girl named Fujioka Haruhi, a commoner compared to most people, who attends a very high class school due to her outstanding grades. Before she knows it she is taken in by the Ouran High Host Club, which includes 7 extremely weathy boys whom are exceedingly popular with the ladies. The host club is for the boys to entertain wealthy females. The reason for her being taken is, is because she breaks a vase of the host clubs which costs 8million yen, to repay the price. Though in the beginning the guys do not even know shes a female due to her boy like appearance. 

This relates to YNSH for obvious reason, the male harem, the comedy, the wealthy & popular guys treasuring one female. I'm almost positive that if you like YNSH you will love Ouran Highschool Host Club.

NinjaPirate101 says...

Most people recommend Ouran and wallflower together on the basis of reverse harem, but theres more to that. Both main characters are having to come out of their shell and become something different from what they are. It details the high school lifestyle and both casts are rich. 

Theyres a lot of comedy and drama and romance throughout and overall they both are good for a lazy afternoon of watching anime!  

cassiesheepgirl says...

Both Sawako from Kimi ni Todoke and Sunako from Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge are female protagonists who give off an extremely creepy vibe. While this is well-founded in the horror-loving Sunako and completely wrong for Sawako, this ongoing creepy theme is prevalent in both series. Also, while they are handled differently, both are ezzentially about male protagonists attempting to transform a socially awkward girl. If you enjoyed one, it's well worth watching the other.

Szwagier says...

Both of those shows focus on a gloomy, "sadako-like" girl without much self-confidence. Due to influence of a certain boy (or a group of boys in Yamanade) she gradually changes her ways, becomes more open and learns how to loose the "ghost" aura in order to show her beauty.The main difference is that Yamanade main focus is comedy, and Kimitode main focus is heartwarming. Still, both are entertaining shoujo stories with "if-you-make-effort-you-can-change-and-make-friends" theme.

wolfangel87 says...

Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge and Kimi ni Todoke have very scary girls as the main heroines, or at least everyone believes them to be scary.  The male protagonists in the story are attempting to change the socially awkward girls into something'normal' for the society around them.  Neither one of the heroines have very much self-confidence in themselves which makes it hard for them to make friends.  The journey to change is what is exciting about each of the series.

tekgen says...

Both girls are mistaken for the girl from the ring. These two creepy protagonists go through very similiar battles to become 'normal'. Kimi ni Todoke is a little more dramatic/romantic though.

minhchau1997 says...

Both animes Kimi ni Todoke and Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge are very similar because they were both girl who are very scary at the beginning and was thought to be the Sadako girl from the ring and they weren't really good at communicating to others. But then a boy shows up trying to change them and it turns in to a romance anime

NimirRa says...

Sawako and Sunako- both girls with a creepy vibe likened to Sadako from the Japanese horror film The Ring. Due to said creepiness they are often misunderstood and avoided by their peers. But their true personalities come out when certain someones take it upon themselves to understand them. These two shows have lots of similar circumstances, but where Kimi ni Todoke focuses the situation in a more realistic light- YNSH takes a slightly more zany and comedic approach.

theresabooty says...

It's also about an out-casted girl. She was scarred by her old love, so she lost hope. She starts to isolate herself with "dazzling creatures." Those dazzling creatures are her house-mate, but they have to help her become a proper lady for a lower rent.

goshikku says...

Both series are about a girl who scares others as "ugly" they are. Suffer much from being antisocial and not able to speak with others. The series will tell their adventures and gradual transformation.

TenshiRinji says...

Yamato and Kimi both have the shy and "creepy" main girls there is more romance in kimi but more comedy in yamato... both awesome :D

dorkopatamus says...

Both protaganists are not your traditional heroine. Every guy in the show doesnt like them, and they don't turn everything to gold that they touch. Both funny!

seine says...

both of them have beautiful plots AND beautiful bishounen protagonists and the love stories between sunakoXkyouhei and sawakoXshouta will keep you watching both of the series!

Shiryuki says...

Sunako and Sawako are the same. And both anime are worth watching.                  

mechasally says...

Both Sawako and Sunako are actually quite similar and have people trying to open them up! <3

banhmimi says...

Both animes are based on "scary" girls. Both are similar in personality, being compared to "the grudge" all the time. 

-However, Kimi ni Todoke has more romance and is based around the school life-

vinod says...

the stories are similar in focusing female lead as scary look but pure hearted,while the male lead helps them to open up to the world.

both anime has good humour but kimi ni todoke lime light romance

B1ueMonstar says...

Both involve school life and horror/scary looking girl. Both are also really cute but Kimi ni Todoke more in the Love story area and Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge is more comedy story area.

raniok says...

the girls are both unpopular and antisocial. they both include the girls trying to become popular, although Kimi ni Todoke has way more romance than Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge.

FullmetalDragon says...

Both series feature creepy looking girls who have problems fitting in. They both go about it in different ways, but if you enjoyed one I think you'd like the other. 

OkamiHime95 says...

Both series focus on a "Sadako-like" girl, who practically everyone fears, up until a certain point in both animes.

C3355 says...

same kinda scary miss understood character but it's a lot funnier but I heard there were some racist remarks about Rajabi's. I can't remember the anime very well but besides that I think it's pretty good! 

Lamia69MJ says...

Both Anime has Interesting & Likeable Characters..MC Female Lead has Glommy & Misunderstood Vibe..MC..has some similarities as Personal Growth & Becoming Adult as well as Complicated & Complex Affection ...Friendship x Relationship..which is why..Worth Watching..Both Anime has Glossy & Gives Slice-of-life Vibe..Worth Watching

jaysah925 says...

enjoy watching anime with heroines that kick ass? then Skip Beat! is for you! like YNSH, this series has a lot of comedy and will definitely keep you on your toes for the next release!

Vayshti says...

Both of these comedies revolve around a heroine with interesting personality quirks and the beautiful, but flawed, men in their lives. The type of humour is similar, often veering to black comedy, and the use of similar character tropes and use of chibi in certain scenes make these a good pair.

Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge's set-ups are often surreal, where Skip Beat! is a little more grounded (albeit in the entertainment world), and I'd argue that the social messages in Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge are dodgy (but the humour pretty much makes up for it), but for some nice shojo comedy both live up to expectations.

AirCommodore says...

Skip Beat's Kyoko and YNSH's Sunako are two girls on a quest to change themselves that have an uncanny ability to terrify those around them, kick-ass cooking skills, and a bunch of hot guys as co-stars.

Both series are hilarious (and contain almost identical types of humor), but can still manage to be sweet and heartwarming (especially Skip Beat).

Galadriel says...

Are you looking for animes that have alot of comedy? then Wallflower and Skip Beat are the right choices, both animes feature lead female protagonists in quest to change themselves, both animes have a great comedy aspect that will keep you laughing until the end and both feature bishounen characters.So if you like one of them then for sure you will enjoy the other one as well.

SkyBlue says...

Both animes have talented, spunky, but slightly kooky main female characters.  They are definitely comedies but manage to slip in some good character development/drama.  Both characters also have a darker twist...Kyoko has her lust for vengence and Nakahara has a love of the grotesque.  They both also have very solid supporting characters and it is easy to fall in love with the varied cast.

Omurqi says...

Adored the shoujo kind-of humor Wallflower had? Liked the character development of the female lead? LOVED THE BISHIES? Then definitely check out Skip Beat! It has the same kind of succesful comedy, a fantastic female lead and --and I'm not kidding here-- very little repetativeness, something I found annoying in Wallflower.

NoxShadow says...

Both of these animes are about a quirky girl and her adventures to regain a somewhat foot on normality. If you like the randomness of the Jokes, or the minor but all important love story, then these are for you. The animation isn't always about the real world, but the world as the characters see it, so spirits and words and characters pop up on the screen to express everything so much more awesomely. Funny and upbeat XP

Annalyn says...

Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi is fresher in my mind than Skip Beat, but I do remember a few things that I liked about both of them:

Skip Beat! and Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge have similar artwork and humor.

Both anime have moments of comedy, sweet romance, and (less importantly) handsome male leads with great characters.

Foxfairy says...

In both shows you will the main female character has extreme emotion issues due to abuse from some guy. In both cases this cause a tranformation, as well as making her a bit frightening to the public. In Skip Beat! she becomes more beautiful, whereas in Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge she becomes dark. Also in both shows you will find; attractive male characters who everyone wants, and an "over the top" mentor who everyone has to deal with because that is who pays the bills.

MarvelousMars says...

Both animes have extremely quirky female leads that have dark tendencies and a skewed view of romance due to awful experiences with men.

Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge is more of a high-school drama and Skip Beat! is all about acting. Whichever floats your boat, the animes are done in a very similar style.

sabrielsharmony says...

both girls in these shows are scarred because of the guys they liked and change their personalities because of it. plus the girl in skip has a strange obsession with voodoo dolls and the girl in the wallflower loves anatomical dummies and skeletons.

harshrox2 says...

i don't think it have similarity that much but both have same vibe of comedy and lead have a reverse harem both have boys complex though here in wallflower it is replaced by hiroshi kun

mechasally says...

Both Sunako and Kyoko have men putting them, but Sunako hides away depressed but Kyoko is set for revenge! <3

FullmetalDragon says...

Both series have pretty similar senses of humour, with a fun and interesting cast and kinda weird story lines. 

leala81 says...

If you liked YNSH, you'd like Fruits Basket because they are both a reverse harem anime.

ananya2003 says...

Just as Fruits Basket is filled with developed characters that are incredibly likeable, so is Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge. The story is funny yet touching at the same time, and it makes you feel for the heroine as much as it makes you feel for Tohru in Fruits Basket. This series is all around great; it will make you laugh and make you cry without going over the top.

lllbisouslll says...

Yamato Nadeshiko Schichi Henge reminds me of Fruits Basket because of the animation and overall feeling. Both involve an average girl who is surrounded by a group of amazing (and bizarre) boys, and have comedy/romance elements. I had been searching for something to fill the Fruits Basket void and Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge totally pulled through. I'm sure it would work vice-versa as well!

noone says...

Both Fruits Basket and Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge deal with teens in some kind of delicate situation or extraordinary position, who deal with it in a hilarious way. At the same time, they have angst-filled stories who get revealed and make the characters more than funny persons doing funny stuff.

yoru14 says...

Both are very funny with a sense that will make you want to watch more. Also the both have very beautiful people and a orinary girl who must help them.

BRID says...

If you liked Yamato/Fruits Basket you will like this because both animes have funny yet deep characters that have been developed really well.both animes have a light and funny tone to it, but have an interesting story and background in it. 

taskful says...

If you enjoyed Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge, you'll also like Fruits Basket. The humor in both these series is very much the same, not to mention the characters don't always look...normal. Both series also have dramatic, sometimes touching tones to them.

darkvampiregirl101 says...

If you like YNSH then you'll love Fruits Basket. Because they're both cute and funny. But they're also have the weirdest drama.><

bishounensuki says...

fruits basket and the wallflower are plotwise not really similar but they're both funny and again it's a reversed harem..

kyouhei from the wallflower is similar to kyo from fruits basket!! and they also have similar names!! ;) they both want their own ways and are hot headed and they cannot really show any emotions but when it comes to someone hurting the girl they like they lose it!

watch both it's really worth your time!

Bishounen with interesting pasts? Check. Mentions of the occult? Check. Plot that gets lost in some of the antics? Check.

While the female leads are definitely different, they both end up doing the housework for their respective bishounens. While school antics play some part of these animes, they tend to be more focused on developing the characters.

cbfunky says...

Don't get fooled by the ad images for YNSH, it's actually a super silly anime, probably more so than Fruits Basket. Both are harem stories and deal with facing everyday difficulties. FB can be a bit more bittersweet at times but YNSH speaks to everyone who'se ever been overlooked I think.

NatiBerry says...

Harem inverse, both anime are about a girl who is honest, kind and very special in her own way, all the boys are very kind and take care of them, I don´t know why but Tohru and Sunako love the Tsundere boy XD

NinjaPirate101 says...

Both fruits basket and Wallflower are considered reverse harem, but thats not why im reccing them both! These 2 series remind me of each other! Filled with romance (or the lack thereof), comedy, drama, angst! Both series has an amazing cast where the lead girl shows her strength through tough times! They both also deal with high school life and having to solve problems based around their unique position. (Turning Sunako into a perfect lady and Tohru finding a place to belong and help her new family break the curse.)

If you liked one, surely you would like the other!

Fireaxe says...

Even if these two series are mainly targeting an older female crowd (hence the josei tag), anyone who's into hilarious comedies à-la sitcoms will enjoy Kuragehime or Wallflower. Both series portray the daily lives and mishaps of a young girl who's viscerally afraid of men, and her interaction with the rest of a flamboyant cast. If you liked either one of them, the other series will definitely appeal to you so give it a shot!

JustSmile says...

Both animes have somewhat similar animation and a girl who is secretly beautiful but perhaps needs a little push to get into the outside world.

youkais says...

If you liked Kuragehime, you will also enjoy Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge and viceversa.

Both are focused on a girl who has her hobbies taken on a extreme way and who is almost hikkikomori; just to be surprised by a fashion and social being to shake her whole world.

hamletsmage says...

Taking a girl without any desire to be glamorous and putting her in the direct line of fire of a "chic" person. Besides the rather humorous reactions to "chic" people, both Sunako and Tsukimi share traits, such as obsessing over things others consider not normal. The boys of Wallflower are also very similar to Kuranosuke. While Wallflower is a little bit darker at times, the feel of these animes are similar.

ChocoXGummi says...

Kuragehime(Princess Jellyfish) and Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge(The Wallflower) are similar because both heroines are afraid to face certain kinds of people. They are also both in a way afraid to look feminine,Tsukimi doesn't want her friends to be mad at her and Sunako faced people calling her ugly.

snivets says...

Aside from the obvious similarity of female characters with strange obsessions, Kuragehime and Wallflower have a similar sense of humor. The characters aren't sure about each other at first, but grow to like each other and work to solve problems together. If you like one, you'll probably like the other.

Spyderwhisperer says...

If you love this anime, you'll definitely like Princess Jellyfish. Both anime have a similar character style, plot, and just overall likeness to them.

MONSTA11 says...

Both have a female protag who considers herself ugly and is antisocial, doesn't leave her house and distrusts beautiful people. And then there is another (male) character in both trying to give the main a makeover.

ofall says...

Sanako and Tomoko are both socially awkward to a ridiculas degree. They are unable to communicate with others normally and their appearances are almost scary. Although Yamanade is a romance, It's safe to say that if you liked one you would like the other.

snivets says...

Both Wallflower and Watamote feature the most awkward of socially awkward high school girls with awkward hobbies. Sunako likes horror movies & gore, and Tomoko likes dating sims & manga, causing both girls to struggle with ideals of what is normal, pretty, and popular. If you enjoyed one, you'd probably enjoy the other.

Issengard says...

Both girls are weird, socially ankward and introverted but while Sunako is able to at least make friends, Tomoko continue being antisocial the whole series.

DW75 says...

Both are about socially very, VERY awkward persons, mostly in a very amusing way, Watamote is realistic and somewhat serious while Wallflower is more outrageous and joke-y.

NatiBerry says...

En ambos animes se muestran chicas con serios problemas para socializar, les encanta estar encerradas en sus habitaciones con sus hobbies extraños y su personalidad asusta a quienes están con ellos, también tienen ideas homicidas bastante fuertes

iary says...

In Paradise Kiss, the action doesn't just revolve around designing a pretty dress that would win a competition, but around turning a simple schoolgirl into a model as well. A model with a perfect look, a vast knowledge in the fashion area and lady-like behaviour. This metamorphosis is a common theme in Yamato as well; the difference is that in Paradise Kiss, they actually manage to reach this point, while in Yamato Nadeshiko, that state is still something they have to work really hard for (and I'm not just talking about the main character here, but of the entire team that supports her).

irenajk1 says...

Both Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge and Paradise Kiss deal with coming of age issues as an ordinary girl is swept away into a life of glamour. In addition, both series revolve around the beauty of an ordinary girl, and that which she must obtain through the guidance of extraordinary men.

LaughOnceInARedMoon says...

Both Paradise Kiss and Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge involve the need to turn an ordinary girl into something more glamorous such as a lady and a model. There is some drama in each of them, but there is more humor in Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge. Still I think that if you liked one you will enjoy the other.

wolfangel87 says...

Paradise Kiss and Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge involve trying to turn girls into something else and shaping their lives in different ways.  Paradise Kiss revolves more about fashion and trying to turn the main girl into a model.  The series both involve high school students trying to find their way in the world living with real life issues.

neutrino says...

The themes of YNSH and Lovely Complex are similar (love and acceptance), even if the plots are not. Both are quite amusing as well.

LaughOnceInARedMoon says...

Even though the plots are different, both Lovely Complex and Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge are very fun to watch. While the plots are different, they both deal with the ups and downs that occur when you have girls in your life. If you liked one I think you would like the other.

kaoriblaza says...

This is a romance comedy as well! :) There is also a fairly important moral to this story as well as the one taught from Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge.

mangomania333 says...

Its super funny! And both the main characters in Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge (Pretty girl evolution) and Lovely complex have to overcome their self-conciousness

Vayshti says...

So one show has the ultimate all-round student, and the other has a girl with shut-in tendencies, but both characters are competitive, driven and terribly likable despite their flaws.

Both shows have a lot of laugh out loud moments, and while Kaichou is not as crack-tastic as Yamato, neither does it fall into moralising traps like Yamato sometimes does.

Animation wise - expect characters to melt into stick-figure forms in both shows, provide comedic shojo sparkles, cross-dressing, school sports day nonsense and a decent clutch of bishies too.

Kaichou wa Maid-sama may have a dodgy title and creepy blackmail premise, but it's far from a piece of male fan service.

annalisebee says...

It's a bit hard to describe the similarities between these two shows, because on the surface the plots are very different. However, they share a similar sense of humor-- situational comedy relying heavily on stereotypes, sexual innuendo, irony, and chibi-fied animation sequences. If you enjoy the humor in one of them, you'll likely enjoy both (as I did!)Also, there is a live-action version of YNSH which I found enjoyable, so you may want to search that out too!

Ilsa says...

Competitive, similar to tsundere and full of pretty boys or one pretty boy who beats everyone is what you seek. Yamato nadeshiko made me frustrated becouse of lack of romance but in both there are a lot of humorous situations with handsome boys in first place :D

OtakuAzzy says...

Kawaii-est anime everrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So hilarious and love the chibi humor :3

Rizu says...

Both series are fast-paced, dark comedies. I would call Yamato a cross between Sayonara and Ouran High School Host Club. While Sayonara is a dark, twisted, somewhat hard to follow, pop-culture reference-filled, very fast-paced with schizophrenic "plot"-hopping, Yamato is... all these things, (minus the constant pop-culture references) toned down, and in a definitively shoujo setting.

The female lead of Yamato is reminiscent of the background female characters of Sayonara; sometimes beautiful, sometimes seemingly normal, but always reverting to an utterly psychotic nature. While the characters in Sayonara are pulling animal tails, hiding/living in lockers, and stalking their teacher, the "heroine" of Yamato is hiding in her dimly lit room or biology lab, polishing her beloved human skull, watching slasher flicks, and scheming with her best friend, the half-skinned plastic human anatomy prop, over the best way to kill a man she believes is too good looking.

Estuko says...

The dark humor in these series are very similar, so if you liked one you are most likely to like the other one too...

hamletsmage says...

Nozomu and Sunako share something in common. They are both rather gloomy/occult-loving characters surrounded by a cast of hyper, off-the-wall, opposite-gender characters. The dark humored comedy of these animes are practically identical.
