JAhU JAhU says...

Both series feature a dandere female lead, some subtle romance between her and male lead and action (as in fighting enemies and such). Aside from that, those two series probably differ quite a lot. Yet, if you are desperate to find series containing the elements I mentioned above, then both might end up being to your liking.

The Pet Girl of Sakurasou

Sorata Kanda has a real problem - he just can't say no to the cute face of a kitten! However, his lovely strays have finally landed him in trouble, as his dorm doesn't allow keeping pets. Given an ultimatum to get rid of the cats or move out, Sorata makes the mistake of standing up for himself and finds himself exiled to Sakurasou, the home of misfits the school doesn't know what to do with. Yet the more he spends time there, Sorata sees they all have their own incredible talents. None, however, enthralls him more than the latest arrival: Mashiro Shiina, a world class artist who is seemingly incapable of feeding or clothing herself! Since none of the other residents have a shred of responsibility, the onus of 'Mashiro Duty' falls to Sorata; what will become of Sorata and his latest stray, and will he ever achieve his goal of escaping Sakurasou?

Both of those LN adaptations revolve around a boy who has to nanny a girl. And the girl seems to be a bit helpless in things related to everyday life, but has other talents. Besides that those series are completely different (maybe except for cohabitation, but that is actually different as well). If you liked one for the theme I mentioned above, then there is a chance you might like the other one as well.

Bakemonogatari Bakemonogatari says...

If you like Absolute Duo then you might just like To Aru Majutsu no Index. Both are funny school action comedies with bizarre psuedo-sciencey type powers, that aren't really explained all that well, and they both have a weird tendency to get really dark really fast. Like it comes out of nowhere and then it's gone. It fits alittle better with Index then it does with Duo simply because it fits into the story of Index better. This may be because Index has more chapters than Duo and it might make more sense later in Duo, but right now it's kinda weird when the tone shifts so violently and unexpected then jerks right back to the funny school setting.
