Kiss him not me

Monthly girls nozaki kun

What did you like about it? The reverse Harlem? The comedy? The art style? I don’t mean to picky, but it would be great if you can give context.

Here’s a few that are similar by a few of the points I just mentioned:

• Fruits Basket

• Kaicho wa Maid-Sama

• Gekkan Shojo Nozaki-kun

I think you’ll enjoy these, since you liked Ouran Host Club a lot. Enjoy!

If by that you mean funny reverse harems then {HameFura} and {Dame x Prince Anime Caravan}

If you don't care about gender or love interests, but want smart MC surrounded by their silly friends then {The Disastrous Life of Saiki K.}

one that i really like that kind of has the same feel as ouran host club is maid sama, or hana yori dango but that ones a bit older

{Monthly Girls Nozaki-kun}

{Kaguya Sama: Love is War}

{The Disastrous Life of Saiki K}

{School Rumble}

{Kaichou wa Maid Sama!!}

I haven't counted but I've easily rewatched Ouran over 20 times at least, I'm insane for that show haha

I think the closest I get in vibes is Monthly Girls Nozaki-kun.

If you don't mind trying other genres, The Devil is a Part Timer (just the first season... I can't really recommend the rest) is also really funny and tackles low income humour

Fellow Ouran stan here. My next two favorite shows in that same vein thus far have been Toradora! and Kaguya-Sama: Love is War. On my list from when I made a similar inquiry once, but still unwatched for now, is Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun.

How about Yamato Nadeshiko Shichihenge from the same era of Ouran Highschool Host Club?

Ever since her crush rejected her by insulting her appearance, Sunako Nakahara has been a shut-in with a hatred for beauty, embracing all things morbid and occult-related. She is sent to live in her aunt's mansion which, to her dismay, she'll share with four exceedingly handsome boys her age. Furthermore, her flighty aunt has made a deal with these boys that in exchange for living there rent-free, they are to turn Sunako into a proper lady by the time she returns from a trip around the world.

Kaguya-sama

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya - A comedy about a high school club.

If live-action is ok, you might like Hana Kimi, which is based on a manga. Similar to Ouran, it's about a high school girl who disguises herself as a boy.

I second Special A and Maid-sama.

If you want something even more romance-heavy I would also suggest Kimi no Todoke.

If you want something with basically zero romance but otherwise similar I would suggest Ramen Fighter Miki.

Meika-San Can't Conceal Her Emotions is good and has exaggerated emotions and comedy but not quite the exaggerated anatomy. It is probably a bit closer to Maid-sama.

S.A Special A Class - A comedy romance anime/manga that you might love.

Kaichou wa Maid-sama - Same vibe with OHSHC & S.A.

Kaguya-sama, Love is War - Also have this vibe.

Monthly Girls Nozaki-kun would probably be the closest I can think of. Not too much "lol rich people" humor, but its very exaggerated but pretty consistently funny.

Lovely Complex has the wacky, exaggerated emotions and the anime came out around the same time. The comedy is very over the top too.

Hana Kimi I could recommend

Not exactly similar but romantic killer and wotakoi give me the same kick as nozaki-kun. simikar to ouran maybe something like special or my little monster

Princess Jellyfish!!!! It's like a reverse ouran!!

Kamisama Kiss has some of the same goofy energy to me

Pretty Boy Detective Club starts with a similar premise to Ouran, and it just a zany ride. Both are definitely on my favorites list.

Yuri on Ice?

Lovely complex

Special A

Maid-sama

Super Gals!

Skip beat

Wotakoi

I would recommend the Wallflower - about a shut-in who is sent to live at her aunt’s house where she’ll live with four other boys.

Monthly Girls Nozaki-kun is very funny, but the male lead is extremely dense.

Is the one you mentioned good? I'm thinking of seeing

Kiss Him, Not Me

kiss him, not me

The quintessential Quintuplets is pretty good, if u haven't seen it or even know about it, it's basically OHHC but reversed genders and is pretty good.

{Kamisama Kiss}

I've seen some people compare it to Kaguya-sama.

School Rumble

Kamisama Kiss

Monthly Girls’ Nozaki-kun

If you don't mind the art, Paradise Kiss is sorta similar

Here are a few series that mix comedy and wholesomeness, with well-written characters:

• My Love Mix-Up! (one of the funniest manga I've ever read)
• Otaku Vampire's Love Bite
• Yamada's Class Diary

And not necessarily comedies, but these are also worth checking out:

• A Star Brighter Than the Sun (getting an anime this fall)
• Koi wo shiranai bokutachi wa
• The Failure at God School
• Cinderella Closet
• Diary of a Female Lead: Shujinkou Nikki (has its funny moments, particularly coming from the FL's brother)
• Fall in Love, You False Angels

Also there's a manga from the 90s-early 2000s, Hana Kimi, that's getting an anime adaptation (release date TBA). You might want to check it out when it comes out (to me it's a bit similar to Ouran, without being exactly the same)

edit: looking at other comments, I didn't realize you might've been asking for anime specifically, hopefully if you're open to read manga you'll give these series a try! There are just so many gems that will never get an anime adaptation :')

Aside from the series I already mentioned, keep an eye out for the anime adaptation of Mechanical Marie coming out this fall, it's a comedy that looks very promising (I've yet to read the manga).

Kamisama Hajimemashita hits the spot.

Nanami really have to develop her own skills in order to express her romantic feelings. And the magical world is SO dynamic. The anime doesn’t do the manga justice. Though the theme song slaps, the magic lies in the manga

My favorite manga is Ran to Haiiro no Sekai thooooo it can only compare to Ouran when it comes to how it hits the heart. The story beats are completely different! 

And then one I think you would truly love is Island Manager! I read this manga just a few months ago and it is now my second favorite manga. It’s hilarious (lol funny which is rare for a manga) and the romance is just drool-worthy

Special a where girl is hyperfocused on beating the ml and is a genuis too.

Maid sama where fl is also top of her school and takes no crap from anyone.

I'm guessing you mean anime recs? Most of these I've watched quite loong ago, so take these with a pinch of salt.

Skip Beat is a showbiz, mostly acting-focused anime that has a pretty fiery and headstrong MC. It's also the only shojo anime from my childhood I went to read the manga for. I really liked it. (It's not finished)

Kaicho wa Maid sama is set in a high school. MC is pretty cool, smart, a bit of a tsundere actually, and treated like a girl crush for some of the other female characters, if I remember correctly. It does have some old shojo pitfalls, though, and ML is a bit hit or miss for people.

Hanasakeru Seishonen. This one is... uh. Well, I don't know how to explain it, because I remember it being weirdly paced. But I also remember liking the MC. She was written like a larger than life type of person, which I think is usually a personality type that falls on male characters. She's not all that relatable (like the other extreme end from possibly poor everyday girl), and I've seen people call her Mary Sueish, but eh, I liked her.

Akatsuki no Yona. Just watch it. It's great. 🤧 Historical fiction, fantasy setting, with great characters.

Since you mentioned magical girls, you might have seen it, but I'm saying it just in case, Kamikaze Kaito Jeanne. It had that magical girl, monster of the week, rivals(?) to lovers thing going on. I couldn't tell you where to watch it nowadays.

And technically-not-shojo by rules of where it was published, but the Apothecary Diaries. The MC is really smart and just great, honestly.

Lovely complex (more romance driven) and Skip Beat (set in the acting world, but only has one season, the manga's much much longer) kinda give me the same vibe as OHSHC. 

If you're not familiar with shojos, Akatsuki no Yona is a bit more dramatic (mostly adventure focused) but also has only one season and the manga's way longer.
