D.Gray-Man
Synopsis:
Allen Walker is not your average fifteen-year-old boy - he is an exorcist and a member of the Black Order, an organization charged by the Church with the elimination of Akuma. The Akuma are the minions of The Millenium Earl - an evil demon-like entity intending to cleanse the world by destroying the entire human race in the manner of Noah's great flood. Allen and the other exorcists are special people who are compatible with a substance named Innocence, which allows them to form Anti-Akuma weapons; and as such Exorcists are the only ones capable of fighting the Akuma. Allen and his friends must battle to save humanity from the Akuma and Earl's evil plans.

Bleach
- Vol: 42+; Ch: 382+
- 2002 - ?
Kurosaki Ichigo is an average high school boy with a not-so-average ability to see spirits - something that hadn't affected his life much until a strange woman entered his room one day. Named Kuchiki Rukia, she's a shinigami who was sent from the spirit world to destroy a hollow - a dead-soul-turned-monster; and much to her surprise, Ichigo can see her. When the hollow suddenly attacks his family, Rukia intervenes and is injured in the process, leaving Ichigo to fight it himself. But when Rukia lends him her shinigami powers - which is forbidden - he inadvertently drains them away and has no way to return them. Now, Ichigo is a full-fledged shinigami who must juggle his studies with his newfound duty of fighting hollows; but having gained his powers through forbidden means, the spirit world isn't going to leave Ichigo alone. Ichigo and Rukia must keep their situation a secret from the other shinigami, or the consequences could be dire.

add recBleach and D.Gray-man have similar concepts. The main characters in both mangas use weapons that free souls from demons. Hollows and Akuma are both pretty much born from the emotions of human beings (although Hollows are born from the person who dies, while Akuma are born from people who were close to the person who dies). The shows both deal with spirits and the dearly departed as well.
Both D.Gray-man and Bleach are primarily action based manga. Both also have a strong central character that works to protect people from the darker side of life, be they Akuma or Hollows. Both also thow a bit of comedy into the mix so if you like one then it's worth trying the other.
It's because they both contain supernatural stuff, and having fights between monsters, plus some places in both are very funny >_<
Fullmetal Alchemist
- Vol: 24+; Ch: 101+
- 2001 - ?
The first law of alchemy is that "one cannot gain something without giving something of equal value in return" - a rule that two souls dare to cross. When Edward and Alphonse Elric try to revive their dead mother, breaking the taboo of human transmutation in process, Ed loses his right arm and left leg while Al loses his entire body. After the tragedy, an alchemist named Roy Mustang visits them and tells Edward to become a state alchemist to find a way to recover what they have lost. Accompanied by Al, whose soul is now attached to a metal suit of armor, Ed is fitted with auto-mail parts in place of his lost limbs and becomes a state alchemist by the name of "Full Metal Alchemist." Together, they set forth on a journey to find the Philosopher's Stone - the one item that is rumored to have the power to restore them.

add recThough the subject matter is somewhat different, my reason for making this rec is that both of these series have a very similar tone. They have the same sort of mix of comedy and action alongside a good plotline. Also both Fullmetal Alchemist and D.Gray-Man feel a little darker than most shounen manga, so if you enjoyed one, and like the genre, then definitely check out the other.
Ga-rei

add recD.Gray-Man is a manga that magnificently displays a blend of excorcism and fighting with a cool goth theme wrapped with many races around the world and displayed with a story of dramatic and funny proportions. This is truly a good manga that rightfully deserves a crown.
Ga-Rei is similar manga depicting exorcism immersed with a rich dose of Japanese culture and ancient folklore. It have magnificent visuals and much effort is spent drawing on each page. The story is amazing and drama and comedy comes in perfectly with it. Sadly this manga that rivals D.Gray-Man and Bleach is under appreciated by manga reader everywhere.
Check both of these manga out will not disappoint you! I swear it!
Witch Hunter
1 person thinks you'd like this because...
add recHmmm... A bunch of people with unique powers, working in church-based military organisation, hunting down the evil guys, (also with unique power). Hell, even their uniforms look practically the same... Add to that, that in both cases the main character is a white-haired kid and the titles start to resemble twins.
Of course there are some small differences.. Like the powers, the designs, the names... But you know - switch exorcists for witch hunters, devils for witches and you got the same stuff.
