Similar Anime to Diabolik Lovers
1. Amnesia

Amnesia is a reverse-harem anime revolving around a young lady whose name is unknown. After fainting, this girl wakes up in the back room of a maid cafe she works in, with no memory about her past, and without even recalling her own name. After two of her friends – Toma and Shin – walk her home, she meets a spectral boy, whose name is Orion. Orion apologizes to her, and explain that she lost her memory because of him, and swear to help her regain it. While struggling to understand what went wrong, and how to regain her memory, Heroine keeps fainting and each time she wakes up in a parallel world where her life goes differently each time. Her journey to discover why starts from there! Diabolik Lovers and Amnesia are both reverse-harem anime, and an adaption of otome games. The main female characters share the confusion and the fear of being put in a situation they don't clearly understand, surrounded by beautiful boys who pursue them. Both girls are shy, and quiet and sometimes really naive. As for the male characters, they have various personality types and struggle to be noticed by the heroine. For example Ayato Sakamaki – the third brother in Diabolik Lovers – is very similar to Ikki in Amnesia; both are very narcissistic and full of self-esteem. Even though the plots differ, viewers can find in Amnesia almost the same situations, and a similar character design. We think that fans of Diabolik Lovers are guaranteed to like Amnesia as well!

2. Vampire Knight

Yuuki Cross and Zero Kiryuu are prefects of the Cross Academy, which is a boarding school separated in Day Class, and Night Class. Yuuki and Zero's duty is to maintain the order as the classes rotate in the evenings. The only problem is that Night Class elites are beautiful vampires, so the task can prove very hard. Yet, Yuuki and Zero have to do their best and protect that secret from morning students. Yuuki has a crush on Kaname Kuran, the president of the night students' dorm, and she happily does her job as a guardian, being able to interact with him. On the other hand, Zero has a hidden crush on Yuuki and hates vampires with all his strength. Zero being her best friend, and Kaname a vampire she has a crush on, how will things evolve for Yuuki? That's how Yuuki's struggles begin, and how she will discover the biggest secret about her own life! Okay, Vampire Knight may not be a fully reverse-harem anime, as the characters that pursue the main female character aren't always so well inclined towards her, but still it shares with Diabolik Lovers a bunch of vampires obsessed with a girl. Both the female main characters, Yuuki and Yui, are somehow naive and find themselves in the position of doing nothing but being quiet and obey. Both these shows have a school setting, and a dark and Gothic theme. In Diabolik Lovers and Vampire Knight the main theme of drinking blood from the heroine is a repeating thing, and just how the six Sakamaki brothers fight over Yui, Kaname and Zero fight over Yuuki. Although the romance trait is obviously stronger in Vampire Knight, both show are enjoyable because of the feelings that slowly the various characters develop towards the heroine. If you like vampires and romance, both these shows are bound to satisfy you, as they share the same vibes all along.

3. Brothers Conflict

Ema Hinata was an only child who, suddenly, found herself surrounded by thirteen – yes, thirteen – step-brothers. It happens one day, when Ema's single father falls in love and then marries Miwa Asahina, and Ema feels the need to make room for the newly-wed couple. So she moves into the so-called Sunrise Residence, and starts living with her new step-brothers. While living with her new brothers, Ema realizes how wonderful it is to live in a big family, surrounded by love and affection. As time passes by, though, she suddenly realizes that it's not exactly fraternal love what's growing among her and her step-brothers. That's how Ema's love troubles begin! As for the similarities that Brothers Conflict and Diabolik Lovers share, we can start saying that both are reverse-harem shows. In both these anime, there's the heroine who is forced by her father into a situation where she is surrounded by beautiful boys. The male characters, in both shows, have a big range of personality types, and rival each other to obtain the attention of the heroine. What makes these shows so similar, though, is the fact that they're both about brothers going all after just one girl, causing fights, and conflicts in the family. The characters are similar, and we can find triplets in both. Ema, exactly like Yui from Diabolik Lovers, is your typical shy and timid character, who doesn't actually know how to deal with the new environment, and so she goes with the flow of events. What's left to say? If you enjoyed Diabolik Lovers, just know that Brothers Conflict is its counterpart, with human characters instead of vampires!

4. Dance with Devils

Dance with Devils revolves around Ritsuka Tachibana, who has always been a good student. One day, with her big surprise, she is summoned by the student council and accused to be a troublemaker. However, her life take a turn for the worse when her mother gets kidnapped and she discovers a world of vampires and devils. The only ray of hope is her brother, Lindo, who returns from overseas and yet seems to hide something from her. When she finds out that both vampires and devils are after a “Grimoire” – an item allowing its owner to rule the world – and with her brother hiding something from her, she is desperate to know if there's someone out there she can really rely on, or trust. That's how Ritsuka's journey in a world filled with secrets begins! Diabolik Lovers and Dance with Devils have a lot in common. For starters, they both are reverse-harem anime adaptation from otome games. While in one the heroine deals with vampires, in the other one the heroine deals with demons. In both shows we find a girl and five guys surrounding her. These five guys have different personalities, but share a sadistic trait. What's more, they start to deal with the heroine just for their own personal profit, but start to have real feelings towards her. Ritsuka is very similar to Yui; she doesn't know what to do, who to believe in, nor how to move in the new setting. Well, it's exactly your perfect reverse-harem universe, where handsome guys turn out to fight one against each other to gain the heroine's attention. It's not a stretch, if you liked Diabolik Lovers, you will find Dance with Devils just as good, with the main difference being the presence of demons instead of vampires.

5. Kamigami no Asobi

Yui Kusanagi is a high school girl who, one day, wakes up in a strange, yet beautiful school, in a wonderful place she cannot recognize. After going around searching for a clue, she is suddenly summoned by Zeus. Zeus explains Yui the situation, and her reason for being there. The one she is in, is a fake school where there are only few real students who are gods. Since six of them don't know what love is, and act selfishly, or have regrets about their past, Yui's task is to teach them what love means. That's how little Yui's adventure starts, surrounded by beautiful gods who will be taught by her, and will teach her what even she didn't know about love! Kamigami no Asobi and Diabolik Lovers are both two reverse-harem anime, involving a main female protagonist named “Yui”. Both Yui and Yui have to deal with guys who put them a lot of pressure, and since they're all so different from each other, in both these shows it's up to Yui to act differently according to the person she has in front of her. Even though Kamigami no Asobi is more on the drama side, it's clear as daylight how the two female characters have a lot in common, having to complete a task visually almost impossible for them. Both Yui and Yui are almost trapped into a specific place, and forced to complete their task. As for the male characters, aside the fact that they are all handsome and attractive, both in Diabolik Lovers and Kamigami no Asobi they start to fight with each other, and compete over the heroine who, on the other side, doesn't really know what to do and doesn't move towards someone specific. Both Yui and Yui have to deal with superhuman guys who act like brats, even if one Yui deals with gods, and one deals with vampires. If you liked Diabolik Lovers, but need something that is similar but without the horror trait, then Kamigami no Asobi is just what you're looking for!

6. Hakuoki ~Demon of the Fleeting Blossom~

It's 1860 and Chizuru Yukimura lives in Edo with her father, who is a doctor. When work takes him away from her and in Kyoto, they exchange letters. Suddenly, letters stop coming though, and Chizuru becomes overly worried. So she disguises herself as a man and leaves for Kyoto. Once in Kyoto, she gets attacked by a bunch of samurai and a seemingly inhuman man. She is saved by a member of the Shinsengumi, only to be taken to their base, be interrogated and then, possibly, killed. Luckily, though, even Shinsengumi members are looking for her father, so they all together will start cooperating, and Chizuru will come to bond with the Shinsengumi guys, coming to understand what love and friendship are. Even Hakuoki, same as Diabolik Lovers, is an anime adaptation from one of the most popular otome game. So obviously, it turned out to be a reverse-harem anime, just like Diabolik Lovers. Chizuru, same as Yui, is frightened; she finds herself almost killed by the Shinsengumi members, in a new setting that she doesn't know how to deal with. Exactly like Yui, she is shy, frail and suddenly surrounded by beautiful men. Shinsengumi members, same as the Sakamaki brothers in Diabolik Lovers, have different personalities, and each of them has his own way to interact with Chizuru. If Diabolik Lovers is about vampires, even in Hakuoki we can find a similar theme. In fact, Shinsengumi members obtain a power that turn them into creatures very similar to vampires, and guess what? They will need our heroine's blood! What else can we say? If you enjoyed Diabolik Lovers and crave for more, next step can be Hakuoki! You won't be disappointed.

Similar Anime to Diabolik Lovers

1. Brothers Conflict

- Episodes: 12
- Aired: July 2013 – September 2013
Brothers Conflict is one of the most successful Reverse Harem anime of the last few seasons. This time, it's not 6 but 13 brothers fighting for the attention of one girl. Ema is moving in with her new family after her father decided to remarry. What she didn't expect was that her new step-brothers slowly start evolving feelings for her, one after the other. Together with her pet squirrel Juli she needs to find out whether what she feels is only affection between siblings or maybe something more. The fact that 13 brothers all fall in love with their stepsister might be too unrealistic for some of you, but don't let this fact scare you off. This anime will give you the same feeling of butterflies in your stomach without the dark touch of Diabolik Lovers.

2. Vampire Knight

- Episodes: 13
- Aired: April 2008 – July 2008
If you prefer stronger female leads then Vampire Knight should be on your to-watch list. Yuki Cross grows up at Cross Academy, a school divided into Day Class and Night Class. Together with Light Kiryu she has to protect the secret of the Night Class: all the students are vampires and part of a project that tries to create peace between the two worlds. While humans and vampires don't want to interact with each other, Yuki is torn between the two sides. Ultimately, she also has to choose between the two guys that are most important to her - her caring friend Light and the mysterious vampire Kaname. Vampire fans are definitely not missing out. The bloodsuckers in this anime are at least as scary yet appealing as the boys from Diabolik Lovers. For people who cannot get enough there's also the second season Vampire Knight: Guilty.

3. Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge (The Wallflower)

- Episodes: 25
- Aired: October 2006 – March 2007
Viewers that didn't like the horror and blood of Diabolik Lovers might want to check out Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge. Four popular and good-looking guys make a bet with their landlady: If they succeed in turning her niece into a lady they are allowed to live rent-free. However, if they fail she will triple their rent. Easier said than done. Sunako Nakahara is a social outcast that hides her face behind long bangs and loves everything dark and obscure. She hates bright things and does not think about changing her lifestyle. The boys struggle to find out more about Sunako's past while simultaneously turning her into a lady to win their bet. While the idea of one girl moving into a mansion with a group of guys might sound similar, the style is completely different from Diabolik Lovers. Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge will leave you dying of laughter. It's light-hearted and you can enjoy watching the beautiful boys without being afraid of one of them turning into a bloodsucking monster.

4. Amnesia

- Episodes: 12
- Aired: January 2013 – March 2013
Moving on to a mystery anime, Amnesia is definitely a must-watch even if you're not a friend of Reverse Harem anime. The nameless heroine wakes up one day and finds herself without any memory of what happened before August 1st. Not only that, but she has to relive the same time period again and again, each time with a different past. On top of that, a mythical creature that introduces himself as Orion appears and becomes her new companion. Like in Diabolik Lovers, suspense is created through a mystery or rather a secret that is not revealed until the last episodes. The main heroes are similarly mysterious and one can never be sure of who's a friend and who's an enemy. The character design is a true eye-candy as well and reason enough to start watching Amnesia.

5. Hiiro no Kakera (The Tamayori Princess Saga)

- Episodes: 13
- Aired: April 2012 – June 2012
Next in line is Hiiro no Kakera, a fantasy anime based on an otome game. Tamaki Kasuga is sent to the countryside to live with her grandmother at a temple. As soon as she arrives at her new life she's attacked by monsters and only saved at the last minute by the boy Takuma Onizaki. As it turns out, Tamaki has to succeed her grandmother as the Tamayori princess. The heroine is as lost and seemingly powerless as Yui in Diabolik Lovers. Luckily, a group of guys that act as her guardians are always nearby and ready to save her from any danger. While the romance might not be as obvious as in Diabolik Lovers, there is definitely a chemistry between Tamaki and the boys. Those of you that were turned off by the cold atmosphere of Diabolik Lovers and want to see a friendship develop should enjoy this anime. If you are also into action packed fighting scenes, then Hiiro no Kakera is definitely worth a try.
