Ah, Gintama. One of the best and most complete current manga in Jump. Its premise is intriguing and unique (aliens in historical Japan? Who would have thought it?). It has great characters--ranging from the diabetic lazy samurai Gintoki to the samurai who has a mayo addiction Hijikata to the stalker ninja Sa-chan and so on. All of them blend together well without feeling out of place and flat. No matter where Sorachi puts them in, they always get at least one huge guffaw from me. Its brand of comedy doesn't consist only of repetitive and sometimes obscure references, but it's also a very satirical commentary read more

Dandelion is one of the early manga works of Hideaki Sorachi, the author of Gintama, in fact, Dandelion was published as an extra at the end of the first tome of Gintama. Any Gintama fan will be able to recognize the similar character style and sense of humour instantly.

On a side note, one of the main characters in Dandelion resembles Hijikata to the point in which you couldn't really tell them apart.
Author of Sket Dance was assistan of Gintama artis. They have similiar great humor and stories have similiar character setup but they are in totally different world.
