I don’t think I have to tell you about him, right? Like we all know Saitama, and we actually love him, right? Watching Saitama is fun itself. He is a hero even though he doesn’t get a lot of appreciation. But we don’t care; we love him unconditionally.
Saitama is strong enough to destroy/defeat anyone with just one punch. He claims that he trained for three years, and that’s how he got this power, but we know that’s not true. Saitama even has a disciple named Genos, and both are a comedic yet strong duo.
To be honest, I can read this manga again and again because it never bored me. It has a good plot, great action, and a lot of comedy. Saitama is a hero for fun, and people don’t know how strong he is. If you’ve not read it, then you’ve missed a lot.

Uzaki is one of the cutest girls in the anime/manga world for me. I mean, she is pretty dumb, but she is so entertaining. I remember when I read this manga, I laughed a lot and enjoyed reading it a lot.
Shinichi Sakurai is a loner. He is in college, but he has only one friend, but he still likes to do everything alone. However, his junior, Uzaki Hana, doesn’t want him to be alone. Uzaki is on a mission to make his senpai’s life fun.
Sakurai and Uzaki both spent a lot of time together. At one point, Sakurai realized that having someone who spent time with you is not bad. And our Uzaki is full of energy and always ready to hang out.

Do you like babies? They are cute. I agree they are fun to take care of. But I don’t like them. They cry all the time, need a lot of care, and you can’t even get angry with them if they break anything, right? What if the baby you are raising is actually the next demon king?
Oga Tatsumi, also known as Demon King, is a high school student, but he is pretty feared by other high school students because of his fighting skills. One day, Oga found a baby, and they both made quite a good bond. But Oga gets attacked by an unknown girl.
That girl was actually a maid from the demonic world, and she revealed that the Baby Oga is meant to destroy the earth, and he is the son of Demon Lord Beelzebub III. The baby’s name was Kaiser de Emperana Beelzebub IV. Huh, quite a heavy name for a baby.
Beelzebub IV didn’t leave Oga, and that maid Hildegard said that now Oga has to care for the next demon king. This is going to be so much fun, right? Like a demon king is going to be raised by a HUMAN.

Iruma Suzuki is just a fourteen-year-old boy. But he is not actually living a good life. That’s because of his parents, which made him do dangerous jobs. Iruma never said no to anything; he always obeyed his parents. Poor boy.
One day, his parents summoned a demon and made a contract with him to take Iruma’s soul. However, later, Iruma knew that the devil just wanted to be Iruma’s grandfather. It’s like he wants to pretend they are grandfather and grandson.
Iruma came to the demonic world with his new so-called grandfather, and here he joined a Demon School. Iruma has to hide his identity that he is a human or he is done for. None, even Iruma, knows that he is not just a human. He is not ordinary. There is more, and everything is full of comedy.

This manga follows a group of four girls, and together they form a music band. However, three of them are newbies, but they’ll try their best. It’s a good slice of life mixed with comedy.

Imagine someone being so beautiful that everyone will treat her as a goddess. Well, we do have our very own Komi-san. She is a goddess. Everyone loves her, and they’ll do anything for her. She just has to say a word, and people will turn the world upside down.
Wait, did I just say WORD? Sorry, I forgot to mention Komi-san has Social Anxiety Disorder. Because of this, she can’t communicate with people around her. She remains quiet and doesn’t say a single word. She just writes to communicate.
Well, she met Tadano-Kun, and he helps a lot, actually. Well, Tadano is a chad, so we all call him Chadano-Kun. Read this manga, a good and well-balanced mixture of Romance and Comedy.

This manga is so amazing. I mean, Sakamoto, our MC, is the definition of being perfect. I mean, he is perfect, he looks good, everyone loves him, he is a gentleman, intelligent, polite, he is everything you’ll ever consider as ideal.
Sakamoto is popular among girls, so guys are pretty jealous of him. They often try to bring chaos to Sakamoto, but he overcomes everything quickly and with perfection. Even ladies like him, not just girls but ladies as well.
I wish I could’ve been like him. I would’ve pulled every girl in my class, LOL. Follow Sakamoto and his life as a perfectionist. Read this manga, and you’ll not regret reading it.

We know about maids, right? They help us out with our household work. It’s a pretty tough job. We actually like maids in the anime/manga world because they are just too cute to handle. But can you imagine having a maid who is actually a dragon? Sounds odd but exciting, right?
Kobayashi is a working woman. She stays late at the office for work and often drinks with her workmates after work. One day, while coming home, she was pretty drunk and was in the mountains. There she helped a dragon.
The next day, that dragon came straight up to her front door, changed her appearance to a girl, and introduced herself as Tohru. Kobayashi and Tohru started living together, and Tohru became her personal maid. Dude, this manga is so fun. Give it a try.

This is one of my personal favorite manga. I can read this again and again. Naoto Hachioji is a loner who doesn’t have friends. He likes being alone, but he is a good artist. He met Hayase Nagatoro, a girl with a lot of energy and is pretty popular.
Nagatoro and Hachioji both start hanging out, but Nagatoro messes with Hachioji all the time, and she doesn’t miss any opportunity to mess with Hachioji. She cares for him as well, and who knows what happens. This manga has good art and is fun to read.

This is a pretty cute yet hilarious manga. I mean, you’ll laugh, but somewhat you’ll feel relieved. I want to ask you, do you have a friend who knows you so well that they can predict what you’ll do? In this manga, we have Nishikata and Takagi.
Takagi knows Nishikata so well, and that is why she always succeeds in teasing Nishikata. Nishikata is not able to beat Takagi, he tries his best, but he never succeeds. Still, sometimes Nishikata makes Takagi blush from his teasing.
Read this manga, and you’ll see a friendship evolving to love but in a funny way.

I agree this manga is funny, but the MC might defeat GOKU. So you may understand how powerful he is. But our MC, Kusuo Saiki, is not happy with his life. You might wonder why a strong enough guy to beat Goku is not pleased, right?
Well, Saiki is born with psychic abilities. He can do anything but Saiki doesn’t want all this. He wants to live an ordinary life like a regular guy. But his psychic abilities are nothing but just a curse from him. If Saiki wants it, he can enslave everyone around him.
He can make this whole Earth follow his orders, but he doesn’t want all this. He just wants a GOD DANG SIMPLE LIFE. This manga has some next-level comedy with a very strong mc. Must read.

Miyuki Shirogane, president of the student council, is an intelligent and smart individual who likes Kaguya Shinomiya. Kaguya is the vice president and the richest girl around, and she likes Miyuki as well. But they both will not confess to each other.
They’ll make the other person confess. It’s like making another person admit their defeat. IT’S A WAR. This manga is so much fun.

So, every teenager’s life is pretty ordinary and straightforward, right? Like going to school, hanging out with friends, studying, playing, and all. It’s straightforward and simple yet impressive and fun, right? But for some, it’s not ordinary, but they think it’s normal.
Yuuko Aoi is a high school student, but her life is not ordinary. You might wonder why, right? Watching your principal fighting a deer and meeting a cat who can talk doesn’t count as usual, am I right, or does this happen with you as well?
Yuuko and two of her friends go through such things almost daily. Their life is quite bizarre. Still, it’s fun for us, like the incident that happened to them. Must recommend manga.

Swords and the Samurai got banned, but still, we have Gintoki Sakata. He always carries a wooden sword and claims he is still a samurai. Gintoki doesn’t have much money, so he does different jobs to get money, but he often gets into hilarious situations.

This is the funniest manga ever, change my mind. Like I can debate it from the first chapter, this manga had me dying because I laughed uncontrollably. A self-proclaimed Goddess and a boy who lost his life in shameful yet funny ways are teamed up.
Kazuma Satou lost his life which was so shameful. However, when he died, he found himself in a place that was neither hell nor heaven, but a goddess named Aqua appeared. Aqua gave Kazuma two choices: he can go to heaven or reincarnate in the new world.
Kazuma picked reincarnation, but Aqua had a pretty big mouth, so she hit Kazuma’s nerve, and Kazuma took her with himself. They both have a task to defeat the Demon King who can destroy this new world. They even get new comrades who’ll stay with them.
Follow Kazuma, Aqua, and their New Comrades on their journey, which is full of obstacles, and they all are pretty dumb.

![15+ ANIME Like Gakuen Babysitters [Recommendations] Do you like babies!? Well, that question almost came out wrong. If you’re into anime that’s full of cuteness, wholesomeness, and a few emotional moments from time to time, then for sure you’ve heard of Gakuen Babysitters. Gakuen Babysitters has a hint of the sweet high school romance! It has a tsundere! It has great main characters! But most of all, the babies look adorable! Gakuen Babysitters is a Comedy Slice of Life anime that was handled by Brain’s Base studio. It has a total of 12 episodes and premiered last Winter 2018. The plot follows Ryuuichi Kashima and his little brother Kotarou. After losing both their parents in a plane crash, Ryuuichi now joins the babysitter club in exchange for the chairwoman of Morinomiya Academy to let them live with her for free and enroll Ryuuichi in the school without pay. This series just doesn’t involve babies, but it features a story of two brothers slowly adapting to a new environment without a family, but slowly they start to realize that they will never be alone. I know you’re reading this because you can’t get enough of Gakuen Babysitters. So I’ve prepared a list of 15+ anime that have similarities with Gakuen Babysitters to fulfill your heart’s desires. So my fellow anime enthusiast, let me take you for a ride! Read More: EPIC ACTION Korean Webtoons/Mahwa 16. Ore Monogatari Ore Monogatari is a wholesome one! It has love! But instead of babies, we get a gentle giant! The relation to Gakuen Babysitters is not that recognizable as it is most definitely a RomCom series rather than a slice of life. One of the things that they do have the same though is that the main character is easily misunderstood by those around him until others stand up for him and stay by his side no matter what. This kind of situation was rather a staple piece especially at the start of Gakuen Babysitters. Think of this series as Hayato getting into a relationship and Yagi not losing his unusual addiction for kids and becoming his best friend. Ore Monogatari is about Takeo Gouda, definitely not your everyday high schooler. His conquest for love began when he saved the cute and adorable Rinko Yamato from being molested. After he thinks that Rinko is interested in his best friend, Makoto Sunukawa, he acts as her helper even though he was also in love with her. Takeo has a lot of similarities with Ryuuichi especially in how they are both selfless and are willing to put others first. 15. Horimiya You might be wondering why Horimiya is on the list, but hold your horses and hear me out. Horimiya has some similarities to Gakuen Babysitters especially in how episodes progress. The story progresses in a manner that cannot be easily realized by the viewer. Another thing that Horimiya has that is the same with Gakuen Babysitters is how they portray the Slice of Life and Comedy genre realistically. It has characters that have similar characteristics to Gakuen Babysitters as well. Similar to Ryuuichi, Miyamura (the male main character) started to understand that no one can be alone, as he meets friends and eventually finds the love of his life. Horimiya is a Slice of Life, RomCom anime that features Izumi Miyamura, a timid and shy student who was alone for most of his life and was constantly bullied, and Kyouko Hori who is an independent and determined high school girl. As the days go by and they start to know each other, love eventually blossoms between the two, and a new world is opened up for Miyamura Izumi. It may not have babies, but that does not mean it doesn’t have characters who are as dumb as one. 14. Himouto! Umaru-chan She is not a baby! She just looks like one! Himouto! Umaru-chan is a slice-of-life anime just like Gakuen Babysitters. It features characters with the same tropes that are found in Gakuen Babysitters as well. Not only that, their comedic antics are closely similar to the series as well but it lacks the wholesomeness that encapsulates Gakuen Babysitters. Himouto! Umaru-chan is a pure comedic slice of life anime that offers little drama but packs a punch with its jokes and hilarious scenes. The series revolves around Umaru Doma who is a perfect high school student but once she gets home and wears her hamster hoodie, she becomes this lazy otaku that just does whatever she likes, leaving her brother, Taihei all the household chores. The series also has a set of characters that give more spice to the comedy such as the shy and quiet Ebina, the so-called rival Sylphynford, and the Hayato-like Kirie. Again, she just looks like a baby, and maybe even has the same IQ as one. 13. Tamako Market We had high schoolers who were as dumb as a baby, we had an otaku who looks like a baby, but now we get－a talking bird! Yes. A talking bird who’s addicted to mochi. One thing for sure that makes Tamako Market have similarities with Gakuen Babysitters is that it is Slice of Life anime through and through. It features the everyday life of Tamako Kitashirakawa, just like in Gakuen Babysitters where the story revolves around the daily life of Ryuuichi inside the daycare. But instead of daycare, we have a market and instead of babies, you have a bird who has a bigger ego than that one guy who just got a raise. Tamako Market also has the wholesomeness and subtle comedy and romance in Gakuen Babysitters. As I’ve said Tamako Market revolves around the life of Tamako and the market where everyone knows everyone. Tamako belongs to a family of mochi bakers. On a fateful day, she finds Dera Mochimazzi, a bird who proclaims that he is royalty from a distant land and is in search of a bride for his nation’s prince. But Dera takes on an unusual addiction to Mochi, becomes overweight, and can no longer return to his homeland. He lives in Tamako’s house and becomes the mascot. There is also a little romance involved as Tamako’s childhood friend Mochizou continues to hide his feelings from her. 12. K-On! What goes well with wholesomeness? Music and a Tea Party! K-On! is another wholesome slice of life anime that is set in a Japanese high school. But instead of daycare or your typical high school student, K-On! features the four (and then five) high school girls that reside within the Light Music Club. The series shows their day-to-day life just like in Gakuen Babysitters but adds a little uniqueness with their songs and performances. It also has comedy, a little bit of drama that can be found in high school, as well as their journey to achieve their dream. The band name is “Afterschool Tea Time”. The band members include The forgetful main character Yui Hirasawa who plays the guitar and is the lead vocalist; The energetic Ritsu Tainaka who plays the drums; The shy Mio Akiyama, the second vocalist, and bassist; The wealthy and naive Tsugumi Kotobuki who plays the keyboard and; a member who will arrive at the later part of the series, Azusa Nakano who also plays the guitar. Together they bring out wholesome laughs and adorable antics that can’t help but make you smile. The series also has several original songs that can make your day flutter with happiness. 11. Nichijou Nichijou is one of the funniest and wackiest slice of life anime you will ever see in your life. Forget about the talking bird, this time we have a talking cat, a principal tries to suplex a deer, a crow is also talking, and there’s even a robot caretaker. What more could you want? Nichijou - My Ordinary Life is literally about the life of the 6 main characters where again one is a robot, one is a talking cat, and also adds a young genius into the mix. Gakuen Babysitters have a more realistic slice of life but Nichijou is like Gakuen Babysitters but drinks coffee 3 times a day. It’s also set in a high school setting just like in Gakuen Babysitters but lacks the emotional drama as it's a full-blown slapstick comedy. Nichijou is the anime series that took all of Gakuen Babysitters' comedy and put them in a high school setting. It’s like a series out of all the imaginations of the babies in the daycare in Gakuen Babysitters. Maybe this is what Usaida is dreaming about. 10. Chibi☆Devi! We finally have babies! Well…devil babies. Chibi☆Devi! is a series that just like Gakuen Babysitters tackles the hardships of taking care of babies but this series just has a “devilish” twist in it. It features the activities that can be found in Gakuen Babysitters such as nap-time and story-time. One thing that sets this apart from Gakuen Babysitters, however, is that the series is geared towards much younger audiences so you won’t find the emotional drama, and the comedy is built for those at a young age. The series is focused on Honoka Sawada who doesn’t believe in devils and such but one day a devil baby named Mao was dropped into her room while she was asleep and is now enlisting the help of Shin Sugisaki to help her in dealing with the unusual circumstances. 9. My Roommate is a Cat From a talking bird to devil babies and back to an ordinary cat. This may seem like a downgrade but keep reading, this series has a lot more in common with Gakuen Babysitters than you thought. It perfectly re-enacts the situation Ryuuichi and Kotarou are in where their parents died in an accident leaving them alone. But in My Roommate is a Cat, the main character is living in solitude until he meets Haru, a grey cat he decided to take care of. He is similar to Ryuuichi because he is put in a situation where he must take care of someone/something other than himself. Although, instead of being like Ryuuichi who is responsible, Subaru can’t even seem to take care of himself. The similarities don’t stop there, after his fateful meeting with Haru, Subaru is now being acquainted with more and more people and is slowly leaving his introverted life. My Roommate is a Cat that builds up an entire story from the “stray gets picked up from the streets” cliche in other anime series and that itself is amazing. It’s heartwarming and also involves funny scenes. Even though Haru has a backstory, the series makes sure that you get to know and fall in love with the characters. 8. Poco’s Udon World Just by looking at the picture you can tell that even in the art style, Poco’s Udon World and Gakuen Babysitters are starting to look alike. But only do they look alike but there are also similarities in their plot and concept. Poco’s Udon World is more intertwined with fantasy while Gakuen Babysitter is telling their story from a more realistic perspective. I mean Poco’s Udon World has a shapeshifting Tanuki. The main characters of the two series also lost both their parents. Poco’s Udon World also has that wholesome tone to it and also talks about the past of the main character, Souta Tawara. There are also similarities in how the supporting characters act and their main characteristics. The storytelling is also similar to Gakuen Babysitter where there is no definitive storyline, the series is just taking us through the daily life of the characters. So, if you’re not into talking birds and cats, maybe you’re more into a shapeshifting Tanuki named Poco. 7. Tanaka-kun wa Itsumo Kedaruge This anime is if you imagined Usaida and Ryuuichi changed attitudes. I guess this is what Usaida’s dreams must be about. Also called Tanaka-kun is Always Listless in English it revolves around the main character Tanaka, who doesn’t want to exert energy, and his dependable friend Oota (blonde Usaida) as they encounter extraordinary events while living their high school lives. It’s a slice-of-life comedy anime that focuses on the dream of the main character to live a peaceful and quiet life. It also has a pretty unique art style. The similarities it has with Gakuen Babysitters lie in the basic concept of Tanaka’s daily life. While being the opposite of the responsible Ryuuichi, both series focus on the daily life of the characters and the unusual situations that happen in them. Its style of comedy is also similar to Gakuen Babysitters as well as its list of characters. 6. Sweetness & Lightning We finally reached it! If you’re the one who just scrolled all the way here to find an anime that involves taking care of a real baby, you’ve done it! The anime focuses on the life of Kouhei Inuzaka who is taking care of his daughter Tsumugi after his wife passed away. Because of his busy life and his inability to cook, he usually feeds both of them food from the convenience store. He takes up an offer from his student Kotori, and he and Tsumugi eat and cook together with Kotori. In terms of similarity with Gakuen Babysitters, first off, they both stick to the realistic manner of portraying the slice of life genre. He is also in the same situation as Ryuuichi but this time he’s the father. There is also a hint of drama involved especially in the characters' current situation. It’s a wholesome anime that involves cooking, family, and emotions. In a sense, it's more realistic than Gakuen Babysitters especially in how it deals with the character’s feelings. 5. How to Keep a Mummy Look at that mummy! Who in this world would not think that that’s not cute? And there’s more where that came from. How to Keep a Mummy essentially replaced the babies in Gakuen Babysitters with unique cute pets. The story is all about a high school student named Sora Kashiwagi who receives bizarre gifts from his father who travels the world. When he receives a present that came from Egypt he’s shocked to find a little mummy named Mii-kun. As they go along with their lives they start to meet other people with extraordinary pets. This is essentially Gakuen Babysitters if it were set in Night at the Museum. Both series are cute and wholesome. You can’t help but smile at their antics and their amusing everyday lives. Who wouldn’t enjoy that heartwarming tea-cup size cuteness overload? 4. Bunny Drop Bunny Drop is similar to Sweetness & Lightning but instead of the main character being a single father he is now a 30-year old bachelor who just goes with the flow. The story begins when Daikichi Kawachi was paying his respects to his grandfather. He meets a shy girl named Rin Kaga who is being rejected by Daickihi’s grandfather’s relatives after his death as they think she is a shame to the family as she was shockingly his Daikichi’s grandfather’s illegitimate daughter. Furious, Daikichi decides to take Rin as his own and so his journey to fatherhood starts. Bunny Drop has close ties with Gakuen Babysitters especially in how the series’ main characters try to discover and rediscover the warmth and kindness of a close-knit family. Bunny Drop includes wholesome scenes. The series is rare in the anime world because it deals with a subject that is often taken seriously. This slice of life anime will surely make you smile and maybe make you shed a tear or two. 3. Barakamon Barakamon is not about taking care of children but it’s about discovering yourself while being in contact with one. The plot of Barakamon is centered on Seishu Handa who is a narcissistic and talented calligrapher who was exiled to the Goto Islands after losing his cool when his work was called unoriginal. He meets his wacky neighbors who keep barging into his home, one of which is Naru Kotoishi, a very annoying child. While in exile and always being kept busy by his neighbors, he starts to learn new things that began to change his view on so many things in life. Gakuen Babysitters primarily focuses on antics as well as having subtle emotional scenes such as the case with Barakamon. But Barakamon tends to focus on one of Seishu’s views on life instead of his situation. It has similarities with the comedic scenes in Gakuen Babysitters as well as the way it portrays a slice of life. Maybe by watching this anime, you can learn something that will change your perspective about the world. 2. Baby and Me You may be thinking, what’s an anime that premiered in 1996 doing here? Well, because it is one of the most similar anime to Gakuen Babysitters of course! Maybe even its grandfather or something. Such as I said it's similar to Gakuen Babysitters because the mother of the main character, Takuya Enoki’s mother passed away and now he must sacrifice his childhood, even as a 5th grader to take care of his little brother as his father is busy working as your typical Japanese salaryman. Takuya’s situation is almost the same as Ryuuichi as they both try their best to find the true meaning of family. Baby and Me is essentially a drama-comedy anime. It portrays a situation that happens in real life and the story is beautiful on its own. It may be old but it sure is worth watching. 1. Hanamaru Youchien Hanamaru Youchien or Hanamaru Kindergarten is the closest anime just like Gakuen Babysitters. The main character might not have the same family situation just like Ryuuichi but the scenarios, comedy, and slice of life elements of the two series are like twins. Hanamaru Youchien also has that subtle romance where the main character, Naozumi Tsuchida is in love with Nanako Yamamoto who supervises the class next door. Its structure of events is also similar to Gakuen Babysitters. The show is as wholesome as it gets pretty funny because it’s one of the few anime where a big part of the story is where Anzu, a kindergartener fell in love with Naozumi. The series is relaxing, fun, and just all-around laid-back. It’s a must-watch if you liked Gakuen Babysitters. Final Verdict Most of the series listed here are a slice of life and that’s what Gakuen Babysitters was all about. It showed the everyday life of the characters. Their problems, their emotions, but most of all it talked about what it meant to have family and someone to rely on. Self-discovery and understanding are important but sometimes you need to help those around you.](https://i0.wp.com/quotetheanime.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Thumbnail-Anime-Like-Gakuten-babysirtters-1024x1024.jpg)
