Hero vs Demon Queen. Throw in romance into the mix and complications develop. Both very similar in genre and great read. 
reportRecommended by rron1993
Due to differences in racial origins (demon vs. human in Superior and Vampire vs. human in Orange Marmalade), the heroine hides her true identity, yet falling in love with the male lead despite knowing the rift that exist between their births. The major twist is, for both of the manga, the said two races hate each other intensely because each group think it is impossible to survive without exterminating the other. Can their love overcome hate, discrimination, and destiny?

Both have the RPG-like aspects, and are both funny yet serious, with plenty of action in between.

Both manga have a similar premise of a relationship between different species that determines the fate of a war. Also, the romances occur between two individuals that were initially enemies. However, they are different because Superior is a fantasy adventure while Outlanders is sci-fi

I feel same aura from MC but this is just my opinion..

They're actually quite different, but they remind me of each other.

Fantasies about a group of heroes dedicated to fighting off the demons who are taking over the land. A girl (who is demon royalty) tags along with them, even though she is their "enemy."

Action-adventures set in fantasy worlds. A group of people travel about, fight a lot, use magic, whack each other around....a healthy amount of comedy too.

I thought the main characters from each manga are very similar, in art style and both are extremely powerful.

Both have to do with powerful demons except in Superior the demon lord is a woman who falls in love with the man she is supposed to kill.

With the villain as the protagonist, we get to see and understand their own view, as we follow them in their struggle to deal with a world where there is the good guys and the bad ones. Superior appeared, way earlier than the popular "villaines protagonist" genre, which is why it can give you an refreshing aproach about these genre.

The fantasy genre,plus they're both about fighting.Only Superior is about the demon queen with a bit romance,and Ubel Blatt is mostly about fighting.Anyway,I think they're both awesome.I surely recommend Ubel Blatt,it's awesome 
reportRecommended by Raddan
Both alternate between light-hearted and heartwrenching moments. These series involve a Hero and a Demon and they make you question what really makes one a Hero or a Demon. 
reportRecommended by khristoff
Both are shounen mangas by female mangaka, so they have a similar aesthetic. And the main male characters are all really nice-looking. Both are fantasies, with lots of action and comedic moments. They deal with strong moral topics. The male leads fight monsters in accordance with their own principles (Allan saving souls of akuma, Yuusha not killing or harming monsters). Most noteable difference is that Superior has a female lead.  
reportRecommended by IceAndCream
Both are stories of forbidden love between people who should be enemies. It shows both sides coming together to fight against another force, and it features moments of introspection when the protagonists question their own feelings compared to their allegiances. Both also feature fantasy and magic in their battles. 
reportRecommended by Animangamer
In both manga's are demons involved (Superior: girl, hana to akuma: guy). Demon falls in love with human. It seems like an impossible love 
reportRecommended by jojotjw
Series with interesting and (physically) strong heroines and both somewhat cross boundaries between shoujo and shounen.  
reportRecommended by Crystal_Assassin
both of the main female characters share similar personalities. the artwork and the story is good. totally recommend trying it out. 
reportRecommended by uberducky
Plot, Character, Art-wise, they very different, but both series blurs the boundary between shoujo and shounen, josei and seinen, combining some great aspects of the two opposites that many mangaka are afraid to do. Musashi #9 is a shoujo with a realistic art style whose main character is one of the most powerful secret agents in the world. Guys wouldn't feel embarrassed at all to pick this up, and even the romance that comes is not fluff. Superior is published in Square Enix, where most series are shounen. Art is beautifully detailed and has the sensibilties of shoujo, but it is not lack of fighting  read more

The style is very different but in both the story is of a maou (demon lord) who come to like spending time with the hero  
reportRecommended by kirasakuya
At first I was left perplexed: how could Dal Young have been 'inspired' to create Maian when Maoyuu Maou Yuusha seemingly came to be a good few years after Maian began?... Then, I remembered that Superior and Maoyuu have practically identical premises. Maian, Superior and Maoyuu share one vital element that makes them the series they are: a hero (descendant in Maian) finds himself traversing the world with an 'evil', world-conquering, voluptuous woman. As they travel together, it *SHOCKINGLY* turns out that Ms. Evil is actually a good person, and romance blossoms.

Both of them have the same theme of forbidden love betwen mortal enemies. 
reportRecommended by zoey012306
Both stories are fast-paced and entertaining, and the main hero is a vampire king/demon queen who really grows on you 
reportRecommended by as3
Vash and Exa could be the same characters accidentally placed in two different manga. Both want to achieve peace throughout the world by "not killing anyone". It's all about self-sacrifice and "love and peace" for the main characters. Packed with comedy and action, if you enjoyed one, you'll undoubtedly enjoy the other.  
reportRecommended by Xinil
both of these series have a huge adventure packed with action in a demon world also the main characters Sheila and inuyasha both undergo huge personality changes as the story goes on

Similar humor and style. A little more serious. 
reportRecommended by stick03
The humour is very similar, and when I was reading Superior, Crimson Spell really came to mind... but for those who do not read yaoi (boy x boy), Crimson Spell is probably not for you. Crimson Spell also has a lot more smut. :P 
reportRecommended by tarepanda
guy meets demon girl they fall in love and they go on a journey together both have action and great plots with a touch of romance that keeps you reading. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
