Anime Like I’m Giving the Disgraced Noble Lady I Rescued a Crash Course in Naughtiness
For Fans of Cutely Flirting in a Secluded Home
Saint Cecilia and Pastor Lawrence
On the outskirts of a small town, Lawrence serves as pastor for the town’s church. There, he is also responsible for guiding and caring for the Saint – a lady that is closer to God than others. Saints are rare, but they serve to guide parishioners with their struggles and provide them with advice.
In Lawrence’s church, the Saint Cecilia is a kind girl who sincerely does her very best, but is easily exhausted by her duties. This leads her to act a little more relaxed when it is just Lawrence and herself.
After forming a strong friendship, Lawrence takes good care of her while she makes sure he is kept safe and healthy from the spirits that seem unnaturally attracted to him.
Both I’m Giving the Disgraced Noble Lady I Rescued a Crash Course in Naughtiness and Saint Cecilia and Pastor Lawrence focus on a man and woman living together in seclusion with their small group of friends occasionally popping in.
Both series are slow romance anime where you don’t get too much in the way of relationship progression, but they make up for it by being cute to watch them interact.
That said, Disgraced Noble Lady is about teaching a pure girl to be a little bit selfish – at least enough to take care of herself – while Saint Cecilia and Pastor Lawrence is about two of the kindness people ever living together, and both being so self-sacrificing that they need to police each other to make sure they are taking care of themselves.
The Duke of Death and His Maid
After being cursed by a witch as a child, any living thing that the young duke touches will wither and die. Feared by his mother, he is sent to live in a mansion in the woods.
While secluded, he is not entirely alone.
He was accompanied by his aging butler Rob as well as his maid, Alice. Despite not being able to touch him, Alice enjoys teasing the young lord and her lack of fear allows them to grow closer, eventually spurring the duke’s desire to lift his curse.
Both I’m Giving the Disgraced Noble Lady I Rescued a Crash Course in Naughtiness and The Duke of Death and His Maid are essentially about a couple living almost alone in the woods, flirting with each other.
However, while Disgraced Noble Lady is a slow-moving but cute romance, The Duke of Death is a teasing-type romance that actually manifests a more robust plot as it goes on.
While both series have medieval fantasy worlds with hints of magic, The Duke of Death leans more into supernatural rather than the standard magic fantasy land that Disgraced Noble Lady presents.
Taisho Maiden Fairy Tale
After losing his mother and the loss of his dominant hand in a car crash, Tamahiko Shima was exiled by his strict father to an estate in the mountains of Chiba.
Becoming a pessimist and determined to waste away in his uselessness, Tamahiko gets a surprise one night when his father bought a young girl from those who owed him a debt and sent her to live with him as his new bride.
Although he laments her having to marry someone like him, his new betrothed Yuzuki and her wealth of kindness become rehabilitating.
Both I’m Giving the Disgraced Noble Lady I Rescued a Crash Course in Naughtiness and Taisho Maiden Fairy Tale feature two people living together in seclusion with the occasional visitor.
However, while Disgraced Noble Lady is about doing so in a world of swords, sorcery, and cat girls, Taisho Maiden Fairy Tale is a historical romance set in 1920’s Japan. As such, it has historical traditions of the period, like buying a wife to send to your son.
Outside of the setting differences, both series are cute, but slow romance about the pair growing closer as a couple occasionally, having a positive effect on each other emotionally, and doing cute slice of life things together. However, since Taisho Maiden Fairy Tale is about an arranged marriage and parental neglect, it has just a dash of drama.
For Fans of Spoiling Kind Girls Rotten
My Happy Marriage
Despite being the firstborn daughter of a noble family known for its supernatural abilities, Miyo is treated little different than a servant by her father, stepmother, and stepsister after not manifesting any supernatural abilities.
After years of abuse and neglect, Miyo is told that she will be married off into the Kudo household. Kiyoka Kudo has built a reputation as a cruel man, having chased off several fiancees already. Knowing that she can’t return home and will be left homeless if the marriage fails, Miyo is ready to bow and scrape. However, she finds Kiyoka Kudo to be a quiet, but kind man. Unfortunately, not everyone takes her marriage into the Kudo family so well.
While innately different in that one is set in a standard medieval fantasy setting and the other is set in a fantasy version of Meiji Era Japan, these series actively work hard to make their female leads the literal kindest fictional character they could possibly create.
Both I’m Giving the Disgraced Noble Lady I Rescued a Crash Course in Naughtiness and My Happy Marriage are about almost excessively kind girls who were abused by their previous households before going to live with a man who wants to give her the world. Of course, being so kind, she is afraid to ask for anything that is even remotely for herself. What follows is a lovely rehabilitation romance between them.
However, while Disgraced Noble Lady is a slow-moving romance that focuses more on cuter slice of life moments, My Happy Marriage is a faster moving romance that is more focused on various drama and supernatural intrigue. So while they have the same basic theme of teaching heroines to value themselves, these series do explore it differently.
I’m the Villainess, So I’m Taming the Final Boss
Being constantly ill, a girl passed her time in the hospital playing otome games. However, one day she wakes up in the world of the game she was playing. What’s more, she wakes up as Aileen Lauren Dautriche, the villainess of the game.
After childhood friend and crown prince Cedric publicly breaks up with her for the game’s protagonist, Aileen makes moves to avoid the tragic future that results in her death.
She decides to propose to Cedric’s half-brother, Demon King Claude who, if left alone, would transform into a dragon and off-handedly kill her in the game.
So begins her quest to tame him.
I’m Giving the Disgraced Noble Lady I Rescued a Crash Course in Naughtiness and I’m the Villainess, So I’m Taming the Final Boss are both about noble women who are broken up with by more respectable nobility, then begin a relationship with a “demon lord” who is lives secluded in the woods and is actually quite misunderstood.
While Disgraced Noble Lady moves slowly as a romance, I’m the Villainess is fully dedicated to romantic progression. Outside of that, the real differences sit in the temperament of the female leads. I’m the Villainess has the female lead as the main character and makes her a lot more assertive, but still kind. It is pretty stark contrast to Charlotte’s more demure nature, but Aileen is no less beloved by most people she meets.
Sacrificial Princess and the King of Beasts
After hundreds of years of war between the kingdom of beasts and the neighboring human kingdom, a peace treaty was signed. The conditions of this treaty say that humans must offer a sacrifice to be devoured by the King of Beasts every year on a particular night.
Sariphi is the latest sacrifice to be sent, adopted by her parents to specifically protect their true-born daughter. Despondent after learning that truth and feeling like she has no home to return back to anyway, Sariphi is fine with dying and unafraid of the King of Beasts.
Intrigued by her lack of fear, the King of Beasts begins to grow closer to her, and when the day of sacrifice comes, he defies his advisors and decides to takes this interesting girl as his wife.
While the set up is quite different, I’m Giving the Disgraced Noble Lady I Rescued a Crash Course in Naughtiness and the Sacrificial Princess and the King of Beasts are about kind girls that escape a bad situation into what seems like it might be a worse fate. However, this “worse fate” turns out to be where they find the most love and acceptance.
While both are about kind girls in love with intimidating, subjectively evil guys, Sacrificial Bride is less about romance. It moves the romance along quickly and shows them as a supportive couple so that it can spend more time on the political intrigue in the story whereas Disgraced Noble Lady eschews romantic progression to show cute slice of life adventures instead.
Bibliophile Princess
Ever since she was a child, Elianna Bernstein has preferred the company of books to people. As such, when she is proposed to by Crown Prince Christopher, she believes that she is just a temporary fiancee to protect the royal family from the schemes of other noble families.
Yet, when Christopher appears to be getting closer to another girl, Elianna looks up from her books and realizes that she is not as indifferent to him as she thought. What’s more, Christopher was never anything other than in love with her either.
While Bibliophile Princess is about an arranged marriage and spends just as much time focusing on the political intrigues of the kingdom as it does injecting some swoon-worthy romantic moments, what this series shares with Disgraced Noble Lady is the attitude of the female lead.
Both Elianna in Bibliophile Princess and Charlotte in I’m Giving the Disgraced Noble Lady I Rescued a Crash Course in Naughtiness are demure, lacking self confidence, and are the kindness people in the world. Both of their love stories are fully focused on the male lead spoiling her and/or proving his (pretty obvious to the audience) affection for her.
For Fans of Men With a Menacing Reputation (That Are Actually Nice)
Why Raeliana Ended Up at the Duke’s Mansion
After being pushed off a building to her death, office worker Rinko Hanasaki is reborn as Raeliana McMillan, a minor character in a novel she had once read.
While Raeliana is the eldest daughter of a nouveau-rich baron, Rinko knows that her new life isn’t exactly blessed. Having knowledge of Raeliana’s fate in the novel, she knows that her fiancee, Lord Francis Brooks, kills her to kick off the plot of the book for the actual heroine.
Determined not to die, Raeliana makes moves to break her engagement and save her life. This leads her to the mysterious Duke Noah Wynknight, the male love interest in the novel and general manipulator of politics among the nobility. She ends up blackmailing him, threatening to reveal his secrets, if he does not pretend to be her fiancee so she can break things off with Brooks.
However, while this saves her life for now, Raeliana’s relationship with the Duke grows more complicated by the day.
Through either blackmail or fleeing aimlessly, both I’m Giving the Disgraced Noble Lady I Rescued a Crash Course in Naughtiness and Why Raeliana Ended Up at the Duke’s Mansion are about women that come to live on the estate of a man with a dubious reputation.
Instead of being mean, they find that those men are actually just misunderstood and a love affair begins to form.
While both series move quite slowly with romance, Why Raeliana Ended Up at the Duke’s Mansion is often more focused on its dramatic plot rather than cute slice of life moments like Disgraced Noble Lady.
The Ancient Magus’ Bride
After being abandoned by her family, Chise Hatori is a 16-year-old teenager without hope.
In order to not have to worry about herself, she sells herself to slavers, only to be purchased by Magus Elias Ainsworth.
There, she is told she will become his apprentice and, in the future, his bride. Together, they work to build a relationship and work to control her own magus powers that will eventually result in her early death.
Typically when you have a male love interest with a bad reputation, they are the brooding and tortured-type rehabilitated by the female leads’ extreme kindness. The Ancient Magus’ Bride and I’m Giving the Disgraced Noble Lady I Rescued a Crash Course in Naughtiness both feature nice female leads that are bad at caring for themselves and male leads that have a bad reputation, but truly don’t care what others think. Instead of brooding, you will often find the male leads are just private people and have a bit of a silly side to them.
While The Ancient Magus’ Bride puts a lot more effort into building an intricate fantasy world as well as a plot outside of romance. Like Disgraced Noble Lady, it is also about rehabilitating the self-worth of the female leads.
However, while I’m Giving the Disgraced Noble Lady I Rescued a Crash Course in Naughtiness moves sluggishly with its romance to draw things out, The Ancient Magus’ Bride often has more serious things to focus on than romance, especially since neither party knows much about affection to begin with.

I’m Giving the Disgraced Noble Lady I Rescued a Crash Course in Naughtiness is what you would call a “pleasant romance.” The characters clearly like each other, but it very rarely progresses their relationship.

However, one night while working late, Ichirou gets pricked by something on Goshiki’s body and suddenly finds out that now they can’t be too physically far apart without him suffering ill effects, but they are, according to the customs of her homeland, engaged to marry.
Both I’m Giving the Disgraced Noble Lady I Rescued a Crash Course in Naughtiness and A Galaxy Next Door feature two people who suddenly live together after an event. While Disgraced Noble Lady is set in a standard fantasy world, A Galaxy Next Door takes place in modern Japan, but is about the relationship between an alien and a manga artist.
Both series are slow-moving romance where the focus is on the couple getting to know each other better through slice of life events. Both main characters have a good chemistry with each other, and just the right amount of personal drama for the female lead.
