Taking on a variety of shouen style themes, both series revolves around a young boy with a strong will to make a difference. The main character from both series are often targets for bullying but as their story progresses, they gain power and ability to stand up against others.

Both series follow a set of arcs that crafts storyline based on events of the present with a variety of characters. Throughout these storylines, the main character meets both new rivals and foes.

A wimpy and powerless main character gains powers from a teacher-figure character and slowly learns to control them. He makes friends, is awkward around the girl he likes, has people who stand in his way, etc. Both are action/comedies, though KHR starts off much more comedically and more like a slice of life manga at first.

The main characters for MHA and KHR are very similar, they are both very wimpy at the start but develop and become a lot more brave.
They both have a teacher figure (Reborn-Reborn and Academia-All Might) that grant the main character a power.
 

reportRecommended by NearSky

Both have protagonists that are below average, but through a fateful encounter with a mentor and strong will to protect others they become one of the strongest characters in the series 

reportRecommended by asianfromhel

Both are about an MC who is granted abilities beyond their capabilities and must learn to wield them, (in BNHA Izuku is willing while Tsuna in Reborn doesn't really want the power) both have the MC get to know/befriend others, both casts get their own development arcs. BNHA and Reborn have different plots over all (superheros vs villains and mafia vs rival families/gangs) and end up in different places plot-wise (Reborn ends up being sort of aimless later on but BNHA hasn't run out of in-world material).

This feels like a spiritual predecessor to My Hero Academia. It has the underdog protagonist, it has the excellent main cast, it has a great battle system with fantastic progression for the characters. And, it's got an awesome tournament arc pretty early in the series as well. Just bear with it through the first arc, or skip past it if you need to, you won't regret it.

Both of these Weekly Jump titles revolve around male protagonists who are the successors of highly decorated organisations (the Nura clan in Nurarihyon no Mago and the Vongola family in Reborn!). The narrative of both titles generally feature the male protagonist developing alliances with other characters, as well as fighting those that get in their way.

One Piece addpermalink

Although the theme of Reborn! and One Piece are entirely different, the values they  represent are quite similar. For instance, you have the whole concept of "family" in Reborn! which complimenets One Piece's notion of a "nakama". Another similarity is that you have various organisations - different mafia groups in Reborn! as oppose to different pirate groups in One Piece. In addition, each character, in both mangas, tends to have a specific way of fighting. Thus, highlighting another similarity found between Reborn! and One Piece.

Dusk Howler addpermalink

"Katekyo Hitman Reborn!" and "Dusk Howler" are action comedy shounen stories that follow the adventures of a weak, naive and honest male protagonist who has a strong, mischievous and sadistic mentor.
- At the beginning of the story, the protagonist is an outcast. Tsunayoshi Sawada, the protagonist in "Katekyo Hitman Reborn!", is a teenage boy who is bullied by his classmates because he is bad at school, sports and social life. And Kim Jee-Ha, the protagonist in "Dusk Howler", is an unemployed 21-year-old man who started playing as a wizard with the game name Jaiha in the fantasy virtual game "Trikia" ("Thrace") in order to overcome his social phobia. 
- The protagonist became a member of a villainous organization, but he does not want to be a villain. Tsuna is a distant descendant of the founder of the Vongola mafia family, and thanks to this, the current boss of the Vongola sent Reborn, the world's greatest hitman, to teach Tsuna how to be a mafia boss. And the wizard Jaiha suddenly became a student of the evil necromancer Nine who is the best player killer in "Trikia" and the head of the guild of thieves and murderers Dusk Howler. Jee-Ha and Nine are friends with Yeon Hui, a cute 19-20 year old girl who recently started studying at the university, and when Jee-Ha told Hui that he was going to start playing "Trikia", Hui asked Nine to help Jee-Ha in this game.     
- In both stories, the protagonist's mentor enjoys pulling pranks, teasing his friends, and generally sowing chaos for his own amusement.
- In both stories, the protagonist has a group of interesting and funny friends, and the number of members of this group is gradually increasing.
- In both stories, there are several groups of characters that are friends or enemies with the protagonist's group: mafia families in "Katekyo Hitman Reborn!" and player guilds in "Dusk Howler". read more

Baccano! addpermalink

Known for their gimmicks as well as their colorful cast of characters, Baccano and Reborn! are two series that I'd recommend for anyone who are interested in something fun. Both series connects their characters in many stories with a variety of themes. The main characters also have unnatural talents that has superhuman traits. Both series also involves the mafia/gang conflicts that becomes more and more complex as their story progresses.

Bungou Stray Dogs addpermalink

Bungou Stray Dogs is much more darker than Reborn but also has the mafia involved. Basically because the mafia is somewhat an antagonist in the series of Bungou. It also gave the similar feeling when you read it.

Now for Reborn, it revolves around the mafia and how the protagonist Tsuna's daily life while becoming a mafia boss. Just like Bungou, it also has some supernatural elements mixed in it but has more comedic scenes than Bungou.

I suggest you should read any of these series because it is great to read.

Futagami☆Double addpermalink

If you enjoyed KHR's dying will concept then Futagami Double is worth a read as it shares a similar type of powering up. The protagonist in FD is a meek schoolboy who transforms into a stronger state to fulfil a will of theirs, very much like Tsuna.

Both stories center around the theme of regret. In both of these stories the characters are able to come back to life if they still have regrets. But they are also different in a way.

Both series have main characters who accumulate friends and allies on the basis of their unique categorization (shamans in Shaman King, mafia members in Reborn!). They also have, after a certain point, battle after battle and the accompanying need to improve their abilities to accomodate their opponents' abilities. Reborn! doesn't have Shaman King's tournament structure, but the successive showdowns and increasing danger of their enemies mimics it anyway.

Black Cat and Katekyo Hitman Reborn have the same feel when it comes to the shounen fights. Plus, their humor is the same too! While the beginning of Reborn has a different buildup (In Black Cat, the action starts right away), when the action in Reborn begins, it is just as good.

Anyone who likes Black Cat will like Reborn, and vice versa~

Code:Breaker addpermalink

Hibari and Rei are pretty similar
They're both loners (with the same attitude-ish) and unbelievably strong, as well as animals liking them. They even look similar.
For Rei fans: Here's your chance to see someone like Rei being just a BAMF, as well as 2 clones of said person. *coughcoughFonandAlaudecoughcough*
For Hibari fans: Deeper character and seeing a lookalike being beatup, and then coming back full force with badass. (Also a bit of romance and him being put in awkward situations)
And yes for Mukuro or Heike fans, there is a perverted pineapple/senpai.
For Code:Breaker fans, don't be discouraged by the gag manga in the front, after maybe 70 chapters or less (persevere my friends!) it gets to be an action manga with a whole bunch of plot and drama stuffers. (The art also improves drastically)
For Katekyo Hitman Reborn fans: Just... epicness. Read through the first chapter and try to tell me it isn't awesome.
The art of each reminds me of each other occasionally, (mostly Lancia-Kouji) and both are hilarious at parts.
These are both underappreciated manga, but trust me, I think they're both at least 100000000000000% better than the popular mainstreams (AKA Naruto/Bleach/One Piece)
Also these are both great mangas to fangirl over (the characters are all extremely...nice..looking)
And for those that are weirded out by Shibuya/Reborn, don't worry they get extremely cool looking later (lol)
*Edit* Also Rei & almost all characters in KHR use flames to fight. (7 flame types too, how coincidental is that?) read more

Sun ken Rock is more graphic than Katekyo Hitman Reborn.

I feel the main characters Tsuna and Touma are similar. Both are drawn into a world thy didn't know existed or particularly want to be a part of (the mafia in Tsuna's case, and the conflict of magic and science in Touma's case).
I also think that Touma and Tsuna have slightly similar reactions to some things. They're both also terrible at school work...
