   Well, both mangas are reverse harems, so one would expect quite a few   
   similarities. However, I don't agree on the "outglamoured" part. Haruhi   
   does have a fan-club of her own (not as large as the fan-clubs of some   
   of the boys, but still), which is totally not true for Sunako.   
      
   And please post stuff like this in rec.arts.manga as that would be the   
   appropriate group. X-post & f'up.
