The stories aren't too similar, but the main characters are both skilled, young, one-eyed killers who seem to lack emotion and were modified to become who they are now. They also both have a talking companion that is a creature that shouldn't be able to talk, but was created.

In both, a man ahead of his time crafts a man-made body for a boy who is or becomes a samurai. Both boys gain a companion of sorts at some point who have some tragic past and a secret.

Samurai manga about young wanderers who kill for a living using hidden mechanical weapons and are accompanied by tomboy girls of high class backgrounds 
reportRecommended by justice0
Both tell the story of two ronin samurai in conflict with their past,and during their wander they will fight strong enemies helping those who need it,in this point Kurogane is less ingenuous than Rurouni Kenshin and as plot more adult.
