Both manga are about a female vampire and a guy who discovers her secret. Karin is a "special" vampire though and both are able to walk outside during the day and go to school.

With a collection of its supernatural themes, Rosario to Vampire and Jitsu wa Watashi wa has a story involving such beings. The main male protagonists are normal human beings until their life changes one day after becoming acquainted with a mysterious female character. Throughout both series, there is focus in their relationship that includes a shift between fantasy and human emotions. Their story also becomes involved with other characters to showcase a variety of species from other races.

- Both are supernatural RomComs where the MC is in love with the main heroine early on despite forming somewhat of a harem. - Both manga have a sort of mystery feel where the MC discovers several "secret powers" that the other characters have. - Both have high school settings that follow the characters until their graduation and have solid endings.

Both series focus on a male protagonist who finds out that the female protagonist is a vampire which triggers a harem around the male protagonist.

In a modern society where supernatural non-humans exists, both series adapts a story where a main protagonist tries to protect the secret of a girl. There is a considerable amount of relationship building as we see how a human interact with a non-human. Both series also has a decent amount of comedy and drama as their story progresses. Do note that Shishunki no Iron Maiden takes a slightly darker tone later on while Jitsu wa Watashi wa maintains a rom-com atmosphere with slice of life elements.

They both have a very similar humor (tsukkomi and boke), I personally cannot stop laughing while reading these two manga. They both have breathtaking panels once in a while that just makes you stop reading just so you can look at it for a while.

Jitsu wa Watashi wa and Maga-Tsuki are rom-com/slice of life series that focuses on the daily misadventures of the male protagonist. The male protagonists are also similar with their personality and is always eager to help the people they meet. This brings the attraction of the girls towards them as they see them as someone they can trust. Both series focuses on many generic everyday life situations. Maga-Tsuki is also known for some fan service with more comedic romance while Jitsu wa Watashi wa portrays slice of life more often with its daily storytelling.

To Love-Ru and Jitsu wa Watashi wa feature a colorful cast of female characters each with their own distinctive personalities. Among them, some are not from Earth and display supernatural traits. Both series' main male protagonist has a similar personality with their kind nature. This attracts other girls' attention as they see him as someone they can rely on and be friends with. Both series adapts romance with a large amount of comedy. Both series does have a plot although it sometimes structures itself with standalone chapters about daily events.

There's an bizarre cast of characters that gets acquainted with the main protagonist from both series. By bizarre, it means non-human or rather monsters. The main premise of both series follow different directions but has similar focuses on relationship building. There is also a similarity in terms of the main male character's personalities - kind, helpful, and selfless. It's for many reasons that many girls in the series falls for them. Romance is evident as well as drama. Do note that Monster Musume has more fan service while Jitsu wa Watashi wa presents more comedy.

Stylistically they're quite different both in terms of art and narrative, but if you're craving a comedy with a supernatural harem both fulfill that. Yuragi-sou no Yuuna-san is a bit more fantasy-based, while Jitsu wa Watashi wa has more sci-fi elements, but it doesn't make much difference overall.

On both titles, there is a love focused plot, but in a very light and funny way. The stories takes place mostly at school, since the characters are high-schoolers. These mangas have similar humor and captivating characters, each one with theirs individualities. Also note that there is a majority of female characters, but no excessive fan service, which on both cases tends to be focused on one or two characters (like shishido, for example). There are supernatural fenomena on both titles. Just as a short comparison: Both are school-life mangas about some crazy people falling in love and doing lots of funny stuff. Since  read more

Same creator and similar art style obviously. If nothing else you can see art´s improvement. It was amazing. Hopes for amazing comedy along side unique drama.

Similar plot of protecting the supernatural identity of the heroine, pretty good rom-coms  
reportRecommended by randomdude963
Instead of being a spy, the main heroine has to keep the fact that she is a vampire from the world. Both are hilarious manga surrounding characters with secret identities that lean more supernatural and the hijinks that ensue. Every character is lovable with their own unique quirks, the facial expressions in Jitsu Wa Watashi Wa are insanely diverse, just as terrifying and hilarious as the faces in Spy x Family, and there is a lot of heart at its core.

Same mangaka, same art style, same sense of humor. Jitsu wa is sillier, longer, and has a super-natural flair; Sakura Discord can be a bit serious at times.

Well I know that these two is not similar but lets admit that this manga is too short for us so we need more. And I think this is a good manga to read if you're wanting for more.

Similar plot and themes. A cute girl and guy attempt to keep the girl's identity as a vampire hidden from those around them, including friends and classmates.

Both series are hilarious and both series revolve around a male high school student who is the "straight man" of the series and is surrounded by a bunch of weird characters.

Both have a lot of good comedy and are harem and romance. I highly recommend them both!

When it comes to relationships, High School DxD and Jitsu wa Watashi wa follows some unusual traits. In particular, the main male protagonist develops with relationships with characters that displays inhuman characteristics. (non-humans) Both series also adapts a bit of romance as their story progresses. High School DxD does have extensive story progression especially in later arcs. On the other hand, Jitsu wa Watashi wa mainly focuses on its rom-com themes with a bit of slice of life.

Human boy and non-human girl relationship, lots of zany characters, slapstick comedy, school life, and ridiculously hilarious situations. If you like one you should definitely like the other.

Both series involves a main protagonist who develops relationships with non-human female characters. There are various species in both series and the MC's personality is able to win them over. Comedy is also present although generic with harem tropes. However, both series are often open for creativity with the variety of characters. Both series also has a slice of life-like mood with every day life events that happens in their story.

Naqua-den and Jitsu wa Watashi wa are known for their cast of supernatural characters. In both series, the main characters gets involved with others who are non-human traits. Both series has lighthearted comedy that also transits into romance. There is not much of a complex story although character relationship forges a main part of both series' development.

Nerdy protagonist meets pretty-but-standoffish girl, who turns out to be only half-human. In both, the couple falls for each other quickly, and in both cases the protagonist quickly gets dragged into conflicts between the non-humans.
