Manga: Sakigake!! Cromartie Koukou
Both of these titles revolve around rational male protagonists who end up being subjected to the most irrational of situations through the eccentric characters they meet.

Manga: Uchuu no SPARROW
Both series feature characters who have somewhat odd characteristics and behaviours. The female protagaonists in both series, for instance, believe they are from a different planet. Moreover, the art work is strinkingly similar in both series. It may very well be that Uchuu no Sparrow was highly influenced by Arakawa Under the Bridge.

Manga: Gintama
Both series has a stylistic way of storytelling and humor. In particular, we have a main male protagonist who we learn a lot about through his relationship with others in both series. There's also a variety of themes explored in both series with an intention to entertain and humor. It succeeds in doing both through its delivery of gags and conversations. In retrospect, I recommend both series for anyone who is interested in a series with refreshing humor.

Manga: Hinamatsuri
if you're looking for a slice of life that combines with elements of fantasy and sci-fi with unorthodox themes, then perhaps these two times may spark your interest. Both series follows a story with a peculiar female protagonist with a lot of curiosity. Her relationship with others (especially the MC) becomes a central element in both series' storytelling. There is a lot of comedy in both series that seems to be self-aware. At the same time, there are various gags that are portrayed that adapts well with its lighthearted tone.

Manga: One Punch-Man
Though One Punch-Man has much more action, the comedy in both these mangas are very similar. If you enjoy one, you'll enjoy the other.

Manga: Sakuratetsu Taiwa-hen
Both are funny, random and absurd comedies, where a normal guy meets several crazy characters who turn his life upside down.

Manga: Oumagadoki Doubutsuen
One sane person surrounded by a bunch of crazy outlandish characters determined to make daily life a little (ok a lot) stranger. Hilarity, of course, ensues.

Manga: Saiki Kusuo no Ψ-nan
Both stories center around the main character being surrounded by people who put him into ridiculous situations. The humor in both is very absurd and deadpan at times. Saiki and Recruit have a similar way of trying to stay calm and rational in the midst of insanity imposed on them by their friends.

Manga: La Pomme Prisonnière
Both center around young, but really childish inside, women living freely, really freely, and they both have the whole "really feminine, josei, princess feeling" (for me at least, not sure if I'm explaining well).

Manga: Katte ni Kaizou
Both of these comedy titles feature characters who have imposed upon themselves that they are anything but human.

Manga: Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko
Both titles revolve around a male protagonist who ends up living with a female character who claims she is an alien. Comedy is primarily the focus of both series, though romance becomes intertwined in their narratives sometimes.

Manga: Hayate no Gotoku!
Both series start with lots of seemingly random chapters filled with gags, while the real plot builds up slowly, and then at some point all the pieces come together and you discover that it's not as light-hearted as you could think in the beginning.

Manga: Domina no Do!
Both deal with a normal guy, thrown into a situation which finds himself him surrounded by people that are totally and absolutely insane. In the case of Domina no do , they are all totally perverted , where as in the case of Arakawa under the bridge ,they are all really really strange. Both are quite funny and quite enjoyable.

Manga: Saint☆Oniisan
When I read Arakawa under the bridge the surreal humour striked me as quite pecular. I felt like I got a similar feel from another manga before. I checked the author/artist and ... yep... It's the one from Saint Young Men! Both have similar humour. In good kind of way.
