Yo-Kai Watch and Magical Pokémon Journey are two kid-friendly manga series that are based off of popular Nintendo-associated game series centered around catching fantasy monsters. The main protagonist of both series is a human who befriends these creatures (including ghostly beings which is mainly the focus in Yo-Kai Watch) in many comedic and adventurous chapters. Both series share a similar sense of humor somewhat, though the former is more goofier and the latter is more cutesy. 

Something about Nicola Traveling Around the Demons' World reminded me of my childhood years when I was obsessed with two certain volumes of Magical Pokémon Journey. Each chapter is arguably just as adorably charming as the cutely drawn art, and the world both manga focus on are mysterious fantasy worlds with lots of cute monsters and sweet stories to cover. Recommended for younger manga readers. 

Stitch! and Magical Pokémon Journey are based on monster franchises/characters that are popular in Japan (Stitch from Lilo & Stitch and Pokémon respectively), adapting them into manga series both by Yumi Tsukirino. As expected, both manga have a similar light-hearted and comedic tone, and an art style and main female protagonist made for the target audience (though Stitch!'s main female character Yuna is actually made for an anime of the same name). Even the types of stories (or at least some tropes) are extremely similar. 

Fluffy, Fluffy Cinnamoroll and Magical Pokémon Journey are two manga series aimed at girls written by Yumi Tsukirino, whose chibi kawaii-esque art style is pleasant on the eyes and helps add to the charm. Both series feature talking fantasy creatures going about in their own little adventures, and despite the few really emotional moments, everything is all still very light-hearted. These manga are based on really famous media properties where plushies of these creatures are abound, but this being an ad for that doesn't remove its appeal. 

Magical Pokémon Journey and Pokémon DP Adventure are two light-hearted manga based on the ever-popular Pokémon franchise. The main character is a cheerful Pokémon Trainer on an adventure with their Pokémon, and the series often features heartfelt character moments. While the former is aimed at girls with a completely original story and the latter is aimed at boys with a re-imagining of the story of the Diamond and Pearl games, they're both enjoyable comedies for people of all ages and (especially) Pokémon fans. 

Magical Pokémon Journey and Happy Happy Clover are two fun shojo manga series that feature talking animals (at least, some of them talk in the former) and are great for all ages. They both also have lots of funny scenes and really fluffy (and cute) art styles. 

When I read Magical Pokemon Journey, I can't help but think about Kilala Princess. The two series are INCREDIBLY similar in tone and characters. Not only do Hazel and Kilala act the same, but they almost look the same too! Almond is a lot like Rei, and Pikachu is a lot like Tippe. Both series are spinoffs of very popular franchises, and both were made for little girls. I'd definitely recommend one for fans of the other. :)
