Brad Brad says...

The leading male in both shows is a young mangaka who gets his many assistants involved in helping him with his work. Manaka-san to Assistant-san to is considerably more ecchi, while Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun tends to focus on the romance side of the genre spectrum. However, both are packed with decent comedy and likable characters to make for a fun watch.

Gekkan shoujo Nozaki-kun and mangaka san to assistant san to are both comedies that feature the main characters making manga.

Rastamepas Rastamepas says...

Like Gekkan ShoujoMangaka-san is a show where the main character is involved with the making of manga. Mangaka-san is considerably more ecchi and less romantic than Gekkan Shoujo both are fun shows to watch.

It's also a comedy with girls secretly I love with their sensei. So it's really cute with some perverted humor, but all in good taste

Both series follow a group in their daily life. In Mangaka-san the manga author is perverted and the other characters tries to stop him while in Seitokai, Aria, Shino and the side characters keeps telling dirty jokes while Takatoshi and Shino tries to stop them. Seitokai Yakuindomo is more perverted than Mangaka-san and is definitly worth a try.

Servant x Service (SxS) and Mangaka both have awork like atmosphere to them. While clearly Mangaka is more on the Ecchi side it draws a resemblance through the fun times that the characters have at "the office". SxS isa bit more held backwith just how crazy the situations can get but still hasplenty of humor to back it up. Think of this as moving up a step towards an actually work place Anime. 

Ai Mai Mii

Ai Mai Mii

Ai, Mai and Mii are three would-be manga artists who can't seem to stay out of trouble, let alone complete a project! Whether they're having a one-off encounter with the forest dweller Yamu, becoming human sprinklers, entering manga battles or entering a doujinshi fair, the trio have fun one day at a time.

YuiYui YuiYui says...

Both of these series are based around a small group of artists where Mangaka is way more ecchi and Ai Mai Mii is completely random I still believe that these anime have small similarities and that if you watch one you should like the other. Such as both are really lighthearted anime and don't really have much story due to the fact that they are really random and are only short compared to some anime. Both are something that you would watch when you are free and if you want something light after a slightly serious anime. Anyway if you liked one you should like the other.

The girl, Lisara, is actually a high-level shinigami who must absorb the spiritual powers of others to survive in the human world. Until she can find a genius with enormous expendable energy, she's decided to form a contract with Ryousuke, but unfortunately for the busty babe, the horny teen's mojo is fueled only through his constant perversion. While looking for Lisara's true prize, the two must deal with other well-endowed shinigami and other foes alike, all while trying to maintain a 'typical' school life together.

I Can't Understand What My Husband is Saying

Kaoru is an OL you can find anywhere, serious and works diligently, but her husband is a super otaku and more-or-less a NEET. She is caught up in one of her husband's whims one day or the subject of his concerns another, but the two are so close that it's embarrassing to even watch them!

ChalamiuS ChalamiuS says...

Both of these series feature an otaku male character and their shenanigans while they interact with one or more female characters.

The interactions in I Can't Understand What My Husband is Saying are much more intimate (given that the main characters are actually married) than the ones in Mangaka-san to Assistant-san to... because she's just his assistant (or editor).

In the world of a Japanese otaku, doujinshi – fan made manga – reigns supreme. Kazuki is a would-be famous doujinshi artist who loves nothing more than to create it, but the usual rushed manuscripts and lackluster sales derail him along the way. Together with the spirited Eimi, loud Taichi, bumbling Subaru and the rest of the gang, Kazuki balances his career as an artist with some good old fashioned fun. But the most important question remains: will Kazuki's talents ever get him a spot in the convention’s coveted Kabe Circle?
