You'll find a focus on a core of characters that give our struggling MC the necessary interactions to help them more become more personable people, though the focusing lens is a bit different. Jaku-Chara's comedy is mostly driven by the awkwardness of the MC-and he really does behave/speak sometimes like he was exposed to sunlight for the first time, at least initially. People have called Gamers! 'Misunderstandings: The Anime' because of how much it is driven by misunderstandings, and I can definitely attest to that.

The two series are at least partly comedy of errors, though that's more of a core of Gamers! and more of a partial description for Jaku-Chara.

However, despite their appearances, both series are ultimately not about gaming, but about insecure and self-conscious individuals who are given a lucky opportunity to become more functional, sociable people when a socialite-by-day-and-gamer-by-night encounters them. Expect frequent references to gaming culture thanks to these very gaming-oriented MCs, as well as some scenes of straight-up gameplay. The MCs use their love of gaming to help contextualize and explain life, though Jaku-Chara's Tomozaki takes the idea to more of an extreme (this lessens a bit after the very on-the-nose dialogue of the first episode). Our gamer MCs are not particularly happy with their station in life: their starting 'stats' are, at least in their mind, woefully ineffectual. If you enjoyed the 'gamer culture'-oriented references/dialogue of either Gamers! or Jaku-Chara, you'll probably enjoy the other.
