 If you liked Yamato Nadeshiko Shichihenge♥ |  ...then you might like Kuragehime |
Main character is an ugly girl that is made better by a superior man. Also, crossdressing.
Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge is like the older, more well developed sibling to Kuragehime. While I think both are equally enjoyable, I felt YNSH had more overall depth to it. There is also more comedy, however Kuragehime really held it's own and I found myself more attached to its characters, whereas I have trouble remembering many of Yamato Nadeshiko's chatacter's names. If you enjoyed one I would highly recommend the other, which, while I see the obvious similarities, I could not say for Paradise Kiss or Ouran Host Club. ...ok, maybe for Ouran... But seriously, watch Yamato Nadeshiko if you haven't yet because it's

A theme that runs through both of these Anime are females who fear pretty people because they don't feel they are worthy of each other. The girls that live at the establishment are also all otaku. And don't let jellyfish otaku turn you off either.

Both have as a protagonist that considers herself as "ugly" and is an antisocial girl with a weird obsession, and also doesn't like to go out of her house, while the main guy that is an outstanding beauty, starts helping her, while she tries to avoid him. The main girls also share the fact that they have a "best friend" related somehow to their obsession: Sunako has Hirochi-kun (a skeleton), and Tsukimi has Clara, (a cute jellyfish). Both are great comedies with hints of romance.
It also stars a girl who thinks she isn't pretty and a boy (or in this case boys) who is admired for his beauty who tries to transform her into a gorgeous girl. They have the same feel about them and they are both really funny.
-Both focus on the tension between people who are fashionable and beautiful, vs. those who are plain and ordinary. Also demonstrate the shallowness of judging people by their exterior, despite the fact that looking beautiful gives you power in society. -Rich, fashionable main characters try to get the unfashionable ones to dress up and look stylish themselves. -Our plain and ordinary main characters are (otakus) who are content with who they are and their hobbies. But they are scared to death of fashionable, beautiful people. -Lots of scary women attack or molest the male characters, or generally make their life difficult because they're good

In both series the main characters have trouble getting a boyfriend because of their apperance and can't stand seeing beutyfull people.
They both have reclusive female leads that are overwelmed by beauty and have a character trying to give them a makeover.
If Yamato is the loud, sharp and uncharming big brother, then Kuragehime is the soft and nice younger sister. It has the same sort of character setup, except they are more earnest. It is down to earth and relaxing to watch, unlike Yamato. The characters are more rounded and kind, and believable, unlike Yamato, which only displays this scarcely near the end
Both stories about a girl becoming a princess.. at least at the beginning! As the stories go on, we discover that they are stories of girls being accepted and loved as who they are.

These are both stories about a "quirky" girl who finds her beauty. Or is forced to find it, which leads to interesting situations in both cases. They're both hilarious and have characters you won't forget.
They both have girls with terrible hygiene, and boys that help in the story. the wallflower is a lot more comical than the jellyfish princess(much more sweet). But the main male lead in princess jellyfish is a drag queen but both still kind of has the same story plot. I think they're both equally funny. You should enjoy watching both.
