D.Gray-Man - Recommendations

Carli says...

In both these manga there is a boy with certain powers that can be quite powerful-because of the cercumstances and because of them. Both manga also are about exorsits, demons and trying to become powerful.

Though somtimes the feel of the manga is slightly different, some of the charictors give off a similar vibe.

If you liked one you will defenetly like the other.

Anathemus says...

There's definitely similar aspects in both these Mangas, groups of teenage exorcists fighting demons leaded by Satan or Millenium Earl, packed with good a amount of humor. The core artwork is not very similar, but they both follow their own halloween'ish dark'ish style which I like a lot. Check them out!!

Both of these are shounen manga about exorcist organisations. While Ao no Exorcist focuses on exorcists in training, if you enjoyed the comedy, action and demon kick-assery of one, then you'll likely enjoy the other.

Sacherina says...

Both of these stories feature demons as well as protagonists that find out that there is darkness inside of them. The ammount physical as well as mental pain of the individual characters is more prevalent in D.Gray-Man while Blue Exorcist focuses on friendship and teamwork. All of the characters in both manga are well developed and interesting.

Blue Exorcist and D.Gray-Man share several similarities:

- shonen manga that focus fun action;

- an hunting demon organization;

- main characters that are tainted by the evil they fight;

- good artwork.

Do you like kids fighting demons? How about tonal shifts from lighthearted to serious and dramatic? The art styles are both lovely as well

Allelujah says...

Bleach 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.

cassiesheepgirl says...

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.

szetungtung says...

It's because they both contain supernatural stuff, and having fights between monsters, plus some places in both are very funny >_<

Darknise says...

they've some similiar concepts ;

Exorcist - Shinigami

Innocence - Zanpakto

Akuma - Hollow

etc.

Aylet says...

D.Gray-Man and Soul Eater are simmilar, cause:

Black Order = Shibusen

Exorcist = Student of Shibusen

In Soul Eater people fights with "akuma", like in DGM.

Anathemus says...

Plenty of similiraties to be found on both of these mangas, fighting shounen with awesome supernatural powers filled with humor and a very dark halloween'ish touch in the artwork, and in the middle of it you'll get a nice plot and some slow character development.

Soul Eater and D.Gray.Man share several similarities:

- shonen manga that focus on fun action;

- weapons that have an attachment to the users;

- hunting demons organizations;

- protagonist that are tainted by the evil they fight;

- clowns and Noah's are present;

- original artwork.

Though 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.

mangaislife says...

Both have strong dark elements, but throw in lots of humor to balance it out. They also both have a very similar cast, with a group of inredibly powerful bad guys who are used for comedic relief when not in intense fights, an easily angered and self-justified young teenager for a protagonist, etc. They work the same; the plot mechanics are similar and even the fights are reminiscent of each other.

Figrysia says...

D.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!

Szwagier says...

Hmmm... 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.

LOMO says...

If you liked D.Gray-Man, you'd like variante because both the man characters have unique arms that fight evil monsters. 

EDFF says...

Replica instantly reminded me of D.Gray-Man for so many reasons.Firstly, both series are about an organization composed mostly of young boys (Black Order/Cards) that fights against inhuman creatures which endanger the mankind (Akuma/Toy).Both have as the main villain an evil inventor/earl who is responsible of the attacks put into action by the above said creatures.Also, these manga share the same mood, aesthetics, and quirky, clown-like style, with dark/gothic elements, unusual weapons, extravagant setting, strange objects, etc.

cassiesheepgirl says...

Both of these series have a very similar vibe, focusing on a malevolent presence manipulating human emotions and causing their ultimate downfall. Both also deal with a young protagonist with a special power and a dark past, if you enjoyed either of these aspects in one, then definitely check out the other.

EmpressMadara says...

These both manga is about demon killing and one trully powerfull enemy. Good reads indeed. ANd both manga have main character that is willing to sacrifice anything for beating one main enemy.
