Zombie Powder was Tite Kubo's first manga serial, which he started working on in high school. It was cancelled after only a year, but reading it, you have to wonder why. All of the incredibly stylish art and character design that make BLEACH so great are also in great supply in Zombie Powder. It's got fantastic battles, a supremely cool cast of characters, and is all in all something that every BLEACH fan should read.
And if you've somehow managed to read Zombie Powder without first hearing of BLEACH, do by all means start on the latter! xD BLEACH's length almost makes up for how abruptly ZP was cut short.
Zombie Powder is the less known manga done by Kubo Tite, and in my opinion was the better of his two creations. However when Bleach became popular he dropped this manga in favour of it, as such the story hasn't been completed. This manga can be described as a fusion of Bleach and Trigun as it borrows elements from the two. It's a shame that this excellent story was dropped for Bleach, I would've preferred this any day.
The most popular of Tite Kubo's two manga creations (Zombie Powder being the first) but in reading his previous manga, you can clearly see how he perfected his incredible art style, as well as awesome character design for Bleach. I actually started reading Bleach first and read ZP afterwards, and you can clearly see that there are similarities between the two manga, however, some might not be as apparent as others. Both mangas have amazingly detailed battle scenes, the super-cool characters (that are vital for a good manga) and the superb plot line that ties the whole thing together. First published in 2001 and still going strong - the length of this manga makes up for any disappointment at the abruptness of Zombie Powder's end.
Because these series are from the same author/artist, they both deal with similar style, characters, situations and development, the plot's are different and the looks of the characters. But for the rest, they are pretty much the same.
While reading Zombie Powder you can see the origins of Bleach. Characters' design, personalities, battles... everything is similar. Also, there is the "inside power" of the protagonist that they have to control.

Both deal with supernatural powers. Bleach's author, Kubo Tite, considers Saint Seiya to be one of his biggest inspirations for the designs of the different types of weapons that his characters use in the story as well as the battle scenes.
Endless fighting, Each Character has uniqe zanpakuto/cloth, Similar approach on story, at some point it even has some kind of similar setting.
Captains=Gold Saints
Saint Seiya inspired Tite Kubo into being a mangaka. MUST watch for any Bleach fan.
both tales about bishonens and pure manliness
Bleach = Saint Seiya in Yu Yu Hakusho setting
Replace shinigami with saints and you literally will know how it's gonna look like. Whole bunch of similariries everywhere and for unknown reason Athena visually reminds me Orihime so much.

There is a lot of fighting in both stories. In Bleach every shinigami has his/her typical zanpaktou technique, the same goes for Claymore (but with swords). In both stories the characters fighting against some kind of evil creature (in Bleach: hollow; in Claymore: youma). The main characters (Ichigo (Bleach) and Clare (Claymore)) are similar in that they want to became stronger for some reason (in Bleach Ichigo wants to become stronger to protect his friends; in Claymore Clare wants to become stronger for the sake of her revenge).
These two manga's just got a lot in common on a lot of points. Both are based on sword fighting, and in both manga's there are two sides fighting eachother. The warriors are leaded by an organization and get numbers which stand for their strenght. If you liked Bleach, Claymore is a MUST read.
both stories have characters that wield swords and have powers. it has a great plot twist and makes you want to know what happens next.
They're both shonens with characters who fight a lot with monsters who only be seen or found by these particular characters, both have fighting with swords although bleach's fights drag on forever and are very repetitive while claymore's are interesting, and full of good action and actually END, not to mention the art is better, read bleach before claymore :)
sword fighting with special techniques

Two young teens can see ghosts and work for a spiritual organization.
Both are about a teenager with the ability to see spirits and have a mission to protect humans from the evil ghosts.
Shinigamis, Delinquents, traveling into another world, lots of fighting.
Bleach have many reference to Yu Yu Hakusho, mainly in Lost Agent arc (for example at the beginning of this arc Yuzu have Keiko's first hairstyle :O)
A boy has a supernatural experience and grow special powers. He come in contact with a organization that control the transit of soul between one world and another and protect the earth from the evil souls that attack it. The boy ends helping this organization to protect his friends.
Bleach = Saint Seiya in Yu Yu Hakusho setting

The fights, the enemies and the reason why they fight. The first 7 tankoubon are crack but then it starts the good part of the history.
These two manga have very similar feeling story arcs at least in pattern, though one is about the mafia and the other is about shinigami they both have the same battle manga mantra of "must get stronger" etc.
Similar fights, lots of power ups and supernatural abilities. Similar character personalities and design.

Like Naruto, Bleach has very deep and compelling characters as well as action packed battles that will keep you on your toes. Very deep yet simple plots, both are masterpieces in their own right, and deserving of such a title.
there both about frindship with some twists of love that u get to imagen urself. also there fights r about just as long -_- n they both need something to spice it up again, i hope they figer out what it needs soon^-^
If you love the shonene hit of naruto, you will love bleach. bleach has the same suspense and action except in a different way. The plot arcs always have so many complicated plot twists and conspiracy theories just like naruto. READ IT
Okay, so they were both top shonen jump manga.
Do I really have to point out the similarities?
Anyways, both are really long and really epic and involves lots of action/adventure/fantasy/superpower.

King of Hell has some similarities from Bleach for one that Majeh role in the manhwa is similar to a shinigami's where he has to ferry dead souls to the other side. Instead of Majeh fighting against hollows, most of his enemy's in the manhwa are comprised of demons that have escape to the living world.
These two series offers tons of fighting which also includes sword fighting and uses of spells.
If you're looking for a good supernatural series to read, I recommend checking out both King of Hell and Bleach.
Both series offers lots of fighting and action and both main characters roles are kinda similar to each other.
If you enjoy reading Bleach for its great action, adventure, and tons of fighting then you’ll enjoy King of Hell (AKA Majeh in Korea). Both series main characters fight off against paranormal beings of various strengths and great power in order to protect the world of the living and the after life.

Psyren and Bleach are extremely similiar.
They both have the same kind of nice, unique art, also the "bad guys" in Psyren resemble the bad guys in Bleach.
Both are also Shonen Jump mangas with a lot of action and characters that travel between worlds fighting bad guys.
If you like Bleach, you'll love Psyren.
You can easily tell that both of these manga's art are similar to one another. They both have the same rough art style.
Both of them are about a boy who obtains a special power, travels between this world and another, and battles enemies with similar such powers in order to save his friends. Parallels can be drawn between many of Bleach's and Psyren's characters.
The manga just has a similar feeling, and not in a bad way. Even the art style is similar.
a lot of similar stuff, it's almost a clone of Bleach

If you liked Bleach, you might like this. Both deal with similar concepts, while still being really different. Both great series.
being typical fighting/action type shounen mangas.
both shonens are about people hunting monsters
d gray man is better though

An ordinary boy meets a not-so-ordinary girl and lives a life of fighting in order to save people who are precious to them
Both of the main characters gain powers that they had never had before, as well as having a very similar female character to assist them both. Believe it or not, both anime surround the idea about the meaning of friendship. Also both of the main character use humongous swords due to the extreme power they hold in within themselves.
Both are Shonen Jump manga where the lead uses a sword, is taught the ropes by a mysterious woman, and fights evil monsters.
|
|
|
Both of the main characters have the ability to see spirits, and both of them meet, seemingly by accident, a girl who not only sees spirits but makes it her business to exorcise them.
Bleach and Ga-rei share a very similar aesthetic in regard to both narrative and character design. Both revolve around the constant battle between exorcists/shinigami and the evil spirits that they cross paths with.
If you enjoyed the first arc of bleach but the feeling died once the fighting gone too hardcore for you (second arc onwards), ga-rei might just be your thing.

It's endless, awesome and really funny. You can't help but love the main characters stupidity and intelligence.
If you like One Piece, you should like Bleach, the two titles are from shonen jump, and they're nekketsu types.
if you love the action and suspense of bleach, you will love one piece. The manga is has the same suspense, action, adventure and intense-ness of bleach except in a different way. In each plot arc there is always conspiracy theories and really complicated plot twists just like bleach. READ IT

Supernatural manga in which the protagonist sees ghosts/demons, and, because of this ability, gets involved with a girl, teams up with her, and even gains a super power.
N00b gets caught in situation with corrupted spirits -> more experienced person saves them -> they end up teaming up.
|
|

both featured a tough guy who meets girl from another world and after that gets a supernatural powers. through the story he meets a new friends which also very similar like horny lion or a shy girl who love the main character. sometimes even story will make you say "wow! this is just like Bleach! :D" but with all this similarities Beelzebub feels more like a comedy then a fighting manga.
it's an ACTUAL parody on Bleach. like Gintama, only in a Bleach setting (no offence)

These two stories are almost identical. When i started reading BLAST I felt like I was reading bleach all over again. Everybody knows about Bleach, and even thought BLAST is VERY similar, I think it needs more attention. Think of it as a Korean version of Bleach, but BLAST is much shorter!
So, if you liked Bleach you'll like BLAST and vice versa ^^
- Shinigami vs Hollow is like Angels vs Devils
- The main male character is a human who is turned into a Angel/Shinigami
- Both main characters have super hidden powers

If you like the type of supernatural phenomenon, along with sword fighting and secrets, these could be for you. Both take place in modern times.
both have an organisation ( exorcists/shinigami ) fighting against creatures (demons/hollow) that attack humans

At the first sight, both series have very little in common. But if you have read one of them and got into it, you'll get a feeling of many similarities while reading the other one. In both of them there are strange creatures and supernatural phenomena. The main protagonist is a character bound to two different worlds and as the story develops, they encounter more and more serious opponents and they try as hell to get stronger in order to protect what's important to them. Plus, both series employ some traditional Japanese beliefs.
Spirits? Ghosts? Swords? Black clothes?
Bleach is a popular and very fun one to read if you like this one.

Bleach is akin to Soul Eater in that they both feature characters with unique weapons and abilities. They are also set with a premise involving grim reapers.
Shinigamis, souls, awesome fights and a deep relationship between person and weapon. They have unique styles of drawing and design of characters and a hard story despise being shounen mangas.
|
|

Bleach = Samurai + Shonen + Supernatural.
Gamaran = Samurai + Shonen.
Also, Hitsugaya and Gama have similar appearances.
Both mangas are (mostly) about sword fights and combat + drawing is a bit alike.
Both main characters are also hot-headed guys who won't back down even if their enemy is way beyond their capabilities.

Well...Kekkaishi isnt about shinigami and swordfighting but the manga has the same feeling to it...a boy in black Bleach-like clothing fights against weird monsters...(like the main protagonist in Bleach)...he gets stronger and stronger, tries to defend THE GIRL who also happens to be wery similar to the main female character in Bleach.
There is a secret society (wery soul societys like)...and there is the evil group...
Sooo...all in all...wery similar jet different.
P.s. Kekkaishi is in my opinion the tame version of Bleach.
Imagine Bleach never had the Karakura Town kids go to Soul Society and instead Ichigo fought hollows. You might have something like Kekkaishi, a series that has the same feel of the early chapters of Bleach. Kekkaishi is surprisingly deep for a shōnen manga (something Bleach goes in and out of) and focuses on it's protagonist much more than Bleach does.

They both are action and adventure based. The main character fights to protect his friends. Funny and serious and sometimes you might feel like crying. One of the four main mangas: Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, Fairy Tail.
Both have over the top cute girls design, character that loves to slap each other in da face and mangakas who never remove sunglasses. FT is a bit power up heavy, but if it doesn't bother you, it could become your second favorite.

it may seems like a pretty bizarre recommendation and i don't know what to mention besides a similar genres, but both Yoshihiro Togashi and Tite Kubo was heavily inspired by Masami Kurumada's Saint Seiya and it's clearly shows. they both feels really similar, but without copying eachother.
also, both have guys whos clan was wiped out, but character from Bleach don't give a crack about this, while character from HxH seeking for revenge.
Hunters are a special breed, dedicated to tracking down treasures, magical beasts, and even other men. But such pursuits require a license, and less than one in a hundred thousand can pass the grueling qualification exam. Those who do pass gain access to restricted areas, amazing stores of information, and the right to call themselves Hunters.

I'm surprised that anyone haven't made this recomendation it.

Its both about shinigami, and i guess ichigo and rinne has orange hair

both revole around the supernatural and ghosts

This similarity wasn't something I would've suspected at first. However, half way through the story of Togari, Tobe's form of transformation is almost exactly like Ichigo's Hollow self, which made be look back on both manga. I've realized that both main characters are about someone who works for the "other world", whether they really want to or not. Both are fought with swords, with power level rising on occasions where the main character is pushed back against the corner. Togari is slightly darker though.

it is similar since they areabout some1 that was at school and he stil is going to it but he fights agenst a orginasation who wants to kill him or defeat him in combat while this they use fists and bleach they use swords ithik any1 who read/watched bleach will like this

In some way, Oresama Teacher and the first volumes of Bleach are similiar. Both have a pretty random humor and they are both in a way about delinquents. Oresama Teacher is a shoujo, but the way its not claustrophobicaly focused on the maincharacters, and the way of storytelling, is pretty similar to a shounen.
Also, both series have a lot of hilarious characters... and bunnies.
|
|
|
The only objetive of the protagonists is to become stronger. Lots of power ups and detailed battles. Both use a lot the shounen technique of "the enemies of today are the allies of tomorrow".
|
|
|
A group of people killing and purifying corrupted souls. Characters have a deep relation with their weapon, who have different transformations.
|
|
|
The theme is very similar, and both charaters are stronger than normal, and they are amazingly talented for the powers they just gained.
|
|
|
both bleach and medaka box contain well written plots and feature an array of interesting and dynamic characters
|
|

Both have extremely similar art styles and are urban fantasy series with humorous moments and epic fight scenes, though Noblesse is a Korean Webtoon, so it is in a long, scrolling format and in color, while Bleach is a Japanese manga, so it's black and white and in page format.
If in Bleach you replace spirits, shinigami and hollows with vampires, werewolves and experimentally enhanced humans, you essentially get something like Noblesse, and visa versa. While both are different in many ways, including the elements of science-fiction in Noblesse, and the focus on a (more-or-less) human protagonist in Bleach, fans of both series will recognize things they love in the other.

There is an organization of beautiful (most of them) and honorable warriors who protect humanity from evil who want to destroy/conquer it (Hollows in Bleach and "spoilers" in Saint Seiya). Each of them has unique zanpakuto/cloth that give them special abilities and strongest of them have incredibly powerful bankai like attacks that can destroy weakest opponents in a blink of an eye. Harsh battles and amazing art awaits you.
|
|
|
both mainly focused on the action,
both have extremely similar art style,
both have items that gives unique supernatural abilities.
also one shot of this manga was published in WSJ's 10th anniversary Bleach magazine issue. © thehungryjoker.wikia.com

Both series are about people who can see ghost. Still though, Shaman King is more childish.
|
|
|
Sazan Eyes is like a darker version of Bleach.
|
|
|
Both samurai sword tales but set for different audiences. Bleach features more colorful characters, more humor, and supernatural powers to add to the sword figting. Vagabond has a more adult storyline, richer character development, and much more detailed artwork. If you like Bleach but find it to be a little young for you, Vagabond is definitely where you should go.
Note that Vagabond is a monthly manga, though. So the storyline may move slower than the weekly chapters for Bleach.
|
|
|
Apart from the art style, which I find quite similar, these manga also start almost in the same manner: a rather normal guy (Ichigo/Arty) suddenly stumbles across a strange, and due to her looks apparently harmless girl (Rukia/Tista) while she's doing her dangerous job: respectively a soul reaper & a murderer. After that, the two become ineluctably linked.
While Bleach is an extremely long supernatural shounen manga, Tista is more mature, much shorter, and mainly focused on gunfights and psychological drama.
|
|
|
In both manga the protagonist has the ability of seeing dead people and is considered an outcast and a weirdo because of that.
|
|
|
Both involve an individual who has to fight off hordes of monsters with an enormous sword while fighting for others. Both protagonists also have groups that develop over time and both their groups began with a male and female protagonist. They're also both very action oriented however Berserk is much darker.
|
|
|
Bleach and XBlade are both stories that involve extraordinary battles, characters, and swords too. Both of the protaganists weild swords of great power and have similar qualities such as transforming into supernatural beings. Although XBlade's chapters are onwards of 50+ pages, a lot of fun will be had reading either series.
|
|
|
The swords in both Bleach and Muramasa are all unique; possessing different abilities which require different ways of using them.
|
|
|
Both involve someone who gets involved with people who fight ghosts, demons, monsters, etc. And both also have a lot of paranormal butt-kicking.
|
|
|
Zanpaktou = o-parts. Weapons only specific people can use, and have special unique abilities. Bleach has hollows, 666 has some demonic creatures too. And ofcourse, the fighting.
|
|
|
Bleach is simular to Pandora hearts in that they have simular elements to them, yet these elements are put into place in the story line in completly different ways, making them two completly different stories with simular vibes.
|
|
|
Not only is the shingami concept in both, we have a character that looks simular, the brother, and Ichimaru Gin from Bleach. The artist for the newer peice, was likely influenced by Bleach in some ways.
|
|
|
Both have a very confident protagonist who is guided by a girl on his initial journey. In addition, both have a nice art and cool battles.
|
|
|
Both are action shounen manga featuring teenage protagonists that use giant magical swords to fight evil.
|
|
|
Near the end of Yamato, it felt very very similar to bleach, spirit swords, inner awakenings. Too bad Yamato was cut way short =/
|
|
|
Starts out with the hero gaining a super power to help fight off an infestation of monsters from "The Shadow World"/"Hueco Mundo"
Both recruit an assortment of other super power guys from their close friends at high school
Both have about a 5-10 man group of heroes fighting a 5-10 group of bad guys in a series of battles
Bleach is higher quality, but monochrome doesn't completely change its storyline every couple seasons.
|
|
|
If you like bleach you will like this. Bleach is heavily inspired by Samurai deeper kyo. Sometimes it almost feels like bleach is copying Samurai Deeper Kyo. Alot of characters with swords and powers fighting with flashy techniques etc.
But there is a big diffrence. Samurai Deeper kyo has more of a story and its more mature. And the main character is not the good guy but rather the bad guy. He dont spare peopoles life, he kills them and smile.
|
|
|
Sword with special powers tied somehow to ones souls.
|
|
|
Both series are about a relatively ordinary boy who, after a supernatural encounter that leaves him playing proxy for an otherworldly entity, demonstrates tremendous innate ability at and enthusiasm for his new job.
|
|
|
A story about a spiky haired hero wielding a sword, fighting against other fighters with different types of weapons and techniques.
|
|
|
A honest good guy with a special talent meets a supernatural girl, and they end up teaming up to fighting against an evil force from another plane of existence that threatens the human world. Very different but surprisingly similar.
