add recAlthough Absolute Boyfriend is a bit more on the 'mature' side of things, it has a few similarities to Fruits Basket. For one thing, both are reverse harem and they each include a female lead sworn to secrecy while trying to pay off some debt or other. Though they don't have the same tone, mood, setting, or similar plots, there is a chance that if you liked one you'll like the other.

add recBoth are about a kind girl hanging out with a harem of bishounen (pretty boys) and helping them fight their personal demons (psychological, not supernatural). Ouran is the more comedic of the two, but both are quite funny at times, while touching and even sad at others.

add recWhile Fruits Basket is the more lighthearted of the two, both of these titles involve a girl who is now living with supernatural-type beings. Romance and drama is apparant in both, plus a hefty dose of shoujo. If you liked one, try out the other.
