Both series are very faithful recreations of life in feudal Japan . Characters with great depth, masterfully written episodic tales with historical accuracy, ideals and honor in feudal Japan are just some of the common aspects of the series. If you have finished reading one of the series and are looking for something simmilar , this is the perfect manga to start. 

Both are serious, well drawn, deeply complex, adult samurai stories. Both feature men with dark pasts who are traveling and selling their sword, while striving for an underlying personal goal. 

Lone Wolf and Cub is also a samurai story with great atmosphere and a gripping story. 

The story of both the manga, their presentation style and drama are almost identical. Made by the same mangaka, set in different time periods they both involve a man---- an Assasin for hire. The assasin never fails, not much is known about him and all those who duel him meet the same end. 

A legendary and imposing manga that tells us the story of the revenge of the Ronin Itto with his little son Daigoro, known as "Lone wolf and cub". During the development of the story, our protagonists will fight against innumerable enemies until they face the one who caused the misfortune of their lives. A path of honor, blood and tragedy consumes this work considered one of the most influential and best in history. 

Two oeuvre dramatic, historic and engaging. Without forgetting drawings of the same type. 

Do you like historical fiction, gorgeous artwork, bone-shattering violence, and philosophical brooding? If yes, then here are your manga. 

Both were written by Koike Kazuo, and both stories feature a prominent revenge plot. Lady Snowblood takes place during the Meiji, so it's set in a different period, but it features the same kind of character-based drama and action as Lone Wolf & Cub. 

GAR with manly tears. In a time of turmoil and harsh living conditions (edo post-industrialisation and post apocalyptic WW3 settings), a wandering serious MC, last of his line, heir of a deadly and the best martial art/sword style, is on a quest of revenge, against his natural counterpart, scheming villain sending hordes of skilled fighters after him, while he brings justice along the way in episodic stories. Kozure Ookami is the better title, because it's less cheesy, more varied, the side characters are more developed, and the historical setting is well recreated, but both are great. Hokuto no Ken was probably more influential and famous, for defining the shounen "genre". Definitely play Kenshiro's theme while Oogami is rampaging. Please adapt Lone Wolf & Cub!! read more 

Same author and artist, same genre. Lone Wolf and Cub came first. 

The male lead is on a mission to vanquish those who threaten the peace and order in both his personal life and the future of the Shogunate. These two masterpieces are a must read for the samurai junkie. 

Mother Sarah is in a very different time period, and on a far smaller scale, but shares Lone Wolf's stoic, unbreakable hero, wandering through a world of bottomless corruption. Ogami and Sarah are both strong fighters, unfailingly righteous, defend and strengthen the innocents they meet, and also very much practise the 'sink or swim' school of parenting...  

Both manga revolve around a man on a journey (through Tokugawa-era Japan in Lone Wolf and Cub, through post-Cold War Germany and The Czech Republic in Monster) to find and kill a man who had done a great evil to them. Both series are leisurely in pace and almost slice of life-like in nature, with a heavy emphasis on side characters and their interactions with the protagonist and antagonist. The main difference between the two, however, is the nature of the main characters: whereas Monster's Dr. Kenzo Tenma goes out of his way to avoid harming and killing others despite is ultimately murderous intentions, Lone Wolf and Cub's Ogami Itto embraces the life of the wandering sellsword, carving a bloody swath across Japan in his quest for revenge. read more
