<p>So, I just finished watching <a href="https://myanimelist.net/anime/3229/Kimi_ga_Aruji_de_Shitsuji_ga_Ore_de" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Kima ga Aruji de Shitsuji ga Ore de</a>. I watched this because it said "<em>Alternate Setting: <a href="https://myanimelist.net/anime/10213/Maji_de_Watashi_ni_Koi_Shinasai" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Majikoi</a></em>".</p>

<p>It was a good anime and all, but, my question is how do these anime relate? All I've managed to find is that they were developed and published by Minato Soft.</p>

Apparently - and I have no knowledge of these things beyond what I just looked up on VNDB - the character "Kuki Ageha" is present in both. Perhaps other characters are as well. The [relation graph](https://vndb.org/v1143/rg) on VNDB may prove informative.

@senshin having read both novels, there is not much more to say than that. They're clearly in the same universe and a couple characters are shared, but the stories are basically completely unrelated.

@LoganM I found an interesting statement on [Majikoi's Japanese Wikipedia](https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E7%9C%9F%E5%89%A3%E3%81%A7%E7%A7%81%E3%81%AB%E6%81%8B%E3%81%97%E3%81%AA%E3%81%95%E3%81%84!#.E4.BD.9C.E4.B8.AD.E8.A8.AD.E5.AE.9A). Apart from same universe and Kuki's family, it is also mentioned that *Majikoi* (or *Majikoi S*?) is 2 years after *Kimiaru*. If that's the case, then I think it can be said that it's indeed an alternative setting. However, I can't say much because I don't touch the series at all.

@AkiTanaka Personally I wouldn't use the term "alternate setting" even though MAL does. That to me seems to cover cases like [Futakoi](https://myanimelist.net/anime/125/Futakoi) and [Futakoi Alternative](https://myanimelist.net/anime/126/Futakoi_Alternative) or [Muv-Luv](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muv-Luv) Extra and Unlimited.  I'd say this is more a case of "same setting" or at least "same universe". To me MAL's use of the terms is a bit unintuitive but maybe others don't find it confusing. In any case I'll write an answer in the next couple days if no one else does first.

Is "Kimi ga Aruji de Shitsuji ga Ore de" based on an alternative setting of "Majikoi"?
