Parallels Between Different Stories

[Spellbound Blasphemy]

It's the story of my life.

WARNING: LITERARY ANALYSIS AHEAD.
So, I read a lot of manga lately. Namely, those works by Matsuri Hino and Bisco Hatori that have become so famous, along with their more obscure ones.
I was reading Captive Hearts (Matsuri Hino), and I realized how much of a masochist Megumi is... and it reminded me of Kaname Kuran (Vampire Knight). Heck, in the second volume, the name "Kaname" is even used! O.o
And, with Bisco Hatori... I was looking at Ouran High School Host Club, and was thinking about it in comparison with Millennium Snow... Chiyuki and Haruhi are very... ah, how do I put this... comedic relief sorts of characters, aren't they?

...i don't see what's so special about it, Rumiko Takahashi does it all of the time.

just compare Ranma½ and Urusei Yatsura, you can barely think it's different manga, you could also include Inu Yasha in there
O3o....

i shouldn't make clamp though, they've even created two series to reference back to all of their other works _XD!!

I know, I know, I just find it interesting because I'm an uber-nerd.

It's really common in CLAMP's manga, as they always make their manga connect with another title of them. I found it quite interesting because you often find some of the characters which appeared before in a completely different storyline. Just like almost everyone who reads Tsuabasa Reservoir Chronicle starts with xxxHolic for a better understing the story etc.
