Love Inu X Boku SS? The blend of supernatural mysteries, quirky characters, and blossoming romance is addictive! If you're craving more of that special something, you're in luck.
Secret Identities and Supernatural Shenanigans
First up, try Kamisama Kiss. Nanami Momozono finds herself homeless and accidentally becomes a local land god. Cue the gorgeous fox familiar, Tomoe, who's not thrilled with his new boss.
It's got that similar dynamic of a seemingly ordinary girl entangled in a world of youkai and secrets. Plus, the developing relationship between Nanami and Tomoe is full of hilarious misunderstandings and sweet moments.
Guarding and Growing
Next, consider Fruits Basket. Tohru Honda stumbles upon the Soma family, who are cursed to transform into animals of the zodiac when hugged by someone of the opposite sex.
Like Ririchiyo in Inu X Boku SS, the Somas have their own emotional baggage and hidden pasts. Tohru's kindness helps them heal, and her presence acts as a catalyst for change.
It explores themes of family, acceptance, and overcoming trauma, wrapped in a heartwarming and sometimes comedic package.
More Youkai and More Romance
Dive into Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan. Rikuo Nura is a quarter yokai who initially wants nothing to do with his heritage. However, he slowly embraces his destiny as the head of the Nura Clan.
Think secret identities and duty with a lot more action. This one's a bit darker than Inu X Boku SS, but still has those bonds of loyalty and the struggle between two worlds.
Finding Strength Within
Let’s move on to Snow White with the Red Hair. Shirayuki is an independent herbalist with striking red hair. She flees her kingdom to avoid becoming the concubine of a prince and ends up meeting Zen, a prince from a neighboring kingdom.
It’s less about the supernatural, but has that strong female lead who stands up for herself. Like Ririchiyo, Shirayuki is determined to forge her own path, even if it means defying expectations.
Humor and Heart
If you love the comedic elements, give Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun a shot. Chiyo Sakura confesses her feelings to her crush, Umetaro Nozaki, only to find out he's a famous shojo manga artist who mistakes her confession for a job application.
It's a hilarious take on romance cliches and the creative process. While it lacks the supernatural elements, it has that same charm and lovable cast of quirky characters.
The misunderstandings and awkward situations are pure comedic gold.
Guardians with a Twist
Lastly, check out Black Butler. Ciel Phantomhive, a young noble, makes a deal with a demon, Sebastian Michaelis, to avenge his parents' death. Sebastian becomes his butler and bodyguard.
The dynamic between Ciel and Sebastian is unique, built on a dark contract and mutual benefit. If you are looking for an anime with dark supernatural elements, this is the one.
Each of these anime offers a unique flavor while capturing some of the essence of Inu X Boku SS. You will definitely find something that excites you!
