Gun Blaze West is a typical shounen manga. Determined protagonist? Check. A goal to be the best? Check. Semi-tragic death in childhood that motivates protagonist to reach goal even more? Check. Undeniable shounen manga fun? Check.

Gun Blaze West's story ultimately falls short of its potential. Sure it lacks originality, but it's still solid to say at the least. The first few chapters will remind avid shounen readers of One Piece, Naruto, you name it. The only thing that separates Gun Blaze West from other shounen manga is its western theme. Anyway, the story is fine, even if it isn't original, but the problem is that read more

It was a nice concept that they used with the West rather than go with your generic Japanese setting. A goal is enough to power someone's life. The very same can be said about this story. Gun Blaze West focuses on only one true path. It may have been a short series with a disappointing discontinued ending but Gun Blaze West forever takes us to the place we've always dreamt of going to. And it gives us a strong realization to embrace our goals. One that is as strong as that of the main character's, Viu Bannes.

Both manga have an old-west theme, and both have a main character who you can laugh at most of the time, but when he gets serious his skills seem unmatched.
Both are by Nobuhiro Watsuki, and although they aren't really that similar, they both are shounens that are relatively entertaining, and if you like one, then you will most likely like the other one.
