Synopsis

Blonde, hip, pragmatic and cool, Ginji Amano has the power to generate currents with his body like an electric eel. Brunette, equally hip, bespectacled and rambunctious, Ban Mido has the mystically mysterious 'Evil Eye,' the power to create illusions in the minds of his foes. Together, they are the GetBackers, the best retrieval team in the world. They can get back anything taken from clients, and their success rate is (almost) 100%! However, first they have to get some clients--and soon--or this spry detective duo will starve on the streets! (Source: Tokyopop)

Written under the name Aoki, Yuya.

ill skip the summery since we can all read the above. Anyways 10 out of 10 best manga series ive read. The story has many connections to real life it talked about the christian bible and jesus. It talked about the story of god and his archangels in one part. It made connections with world war 2 in another part. It even the witch witch hunt and many others. The art work is very unique its not like a beautiful painting like in series such as ai yori aoshi but are very detailed sketches. Many of the setting are in slums and allyways that is read more

both are about freelancers. the main characters in both series have some sort of bad past that they want to change but they end up going back to the problems of their past. my first recomndation. hope you ppl know what im talking about.
These manga have many similarities.
Both started their serialization in the 90’s.
Both have action, drama, tragedy, lots of bishounen, a bit of comedy to lighten up the mood, and can be quite psychological, even though Get Backers has more shounen elements and is less serious than X (and no offence, but Rando Ayamine’s art can’t be compared with X’s artistic perfection).
They also have several themes in common, such as granting wishes, fighting with ex-friends, protecting the loved ones, world destruction.
In both there are 2 opposite factions that fight against each other.
Both manga are about people who have supernatural powers (such as controlling electricity, just to name one).
In both there’s an ensemble cast of characters, and above all, some of them are very similar, and many, if not all of them have a tragic past and/or are orphans: there’s the innocent, quiet schoolgirl (Kotori/Natsumi), the cheerful guy (Sorata/Ginji), the computer freak (Satsuki/Makubex), the killer in a business suit (Seishiro/Akabane), the busty beauty (Karen & Kanoe/Heaven), the man who is telepathically connected to animals (Kusanagi/Shido), the blind girl (Hinoto/Madoka), the calm, blonde, and seemingly careless man (Yuto/Kagami), the absolutely amazingly gorgeous guy (Subaru/Kazuki), etc.
Also, in both the ones who usually looked after the characters were not their parents, but their grandparents.
