With a lot of action and detailed story, One Piece and Kingdom has many similarities with each other. Both series follows a main male protagonist who has a set goal in mind. There is a lot of characterization present in their story. Additionally, relationship building and background stories are a pivotal point to both series' success.

I'm surprised no one else has made this recommendation. 

Kingdom and One piece is similar in that the main characters are really powerful BUT we join their story to see them grow and become stronger, and both main characters set out to be high ranking person one being king of pirates and the other being a great general. And both manga's have really strong side characters that give a real impact in the story and to the reader, showing that someone who initially looks strange; then becomes such a memorable character. Although the only big difference is that One Piece is fantasy and Kingdom is history, but it could be said that history created fantasy.  read more

Although having a completely different setting and scale, Kingdom and One Piece have also a lot of similarities:
-To start off, both the main characters aim is to achieve the utmost position on their field of expertise, that is, in one case, becoming the king of the pirates, and, in the other, great general of the heavens
- Secondly, protagonists of both series are accompanied by trustworthy subordinates and supporters, earned troughout their quest, that learned to hold imeasurable respect for them
- Finally, both series can be very humorous and dramatic, with an art style that feels, at least to me, very similar in its originality

The heroes of both manga share the same personalities: strong, reckless and caring for their comrades. They also share a similar dream of one day becoming the greatest in their own right. One Piece progresses by having tons of adventures, while Kingdom progresses by having tons of warfare.

Both manga also focuses on many subplots as you read further, which eventually leads to revealing mysteries and conspiracies.

Both main charactets have similar goal and both of these manga have uniwue and comple story very detail as well similar villans and overall very similar 

reportRecommended by MarkoKralj

At 457 chapters, Kingdom is only a bit over 50% over. Honestly, if you're looking for a story that's on the same scale as One Piece, Kingdom fits the bill more then Naruto or Bleach. 

And if you're thinking, "Oh,so it's super dragged out". NOPE. Kingdom is a war manga, a historical, real one actually with fiction added in from the Author to turn it into a really compelling story that you wouldn't want to stop reading until you catch up to the newest chapters. Each chapter progress the battles and wars. 

If you like main characters have a huge end goal; and see them work toward it and as they progress not only do they get stronger but also more influential,you will love Kingdom.

Because of a short anime, it hasn't gotten as popular as OP,Naruto or Bleach but this year it sold millions in Japan, Right now Youtuber King of Lightning has decided to review it weekly and it's popularity is only about get bigger. Start reading Kingdom now, and you will unlock the Bonus status of "I did that cool thing before it was cool" status :)

On the outside One Piece and Kingdom don't look anything alike but internally they're actually quite similar.

To start the most similar thing about the two is their growth and what do I mean by that? Well both manga start with the protagonists at a young age ready for an adventure with a certain spirit to accomplish their own powerful goals. However with this their overpowering spirit comes a sense of great arrogance but they can certainly back it up with their amazing combat skills. Onward, in each manga both protagonists realise the unimaginable height of their dreams but they don't give up right there. Instead they approach in a much more serious manner and most importantly they approach their dream together with the friends they have met on their journey.

Not only growth in character can be seen but growth of the manga's authors can be seen. One Piece and Kingdom are Eiichiro Oda's and Yasuhisa Hara's first manga's, during the start of the start of their manga you may notice that they're a little choppy but after much work, dedication and effort from both authors that thing that started off choppy has transformed to become two of the greatest manga's of all time. Both authors have created moments of awe, tragedy, suspense and excitement with greatly developed characters and an amazing plot that grips a reader into the greatness of their tales.

For more similarities, both manga not only have a greatly developed protagonist but the other main characters and even side characters have some crazy development. Both manga aren't just about the protagonist aspirations but most side characters have their own goals at the same level as the protagonists.

Another great thing is that both manga are really long in length they're not just a simple and short manga, they're manga that present a much larger story about journey from youth to maturity.

For my last point both manga have a fair amount of action, with a ton of battles, that will keep your constantly entertained and never bored.

So are you ready for a great adventure? Cause these two will fit you needs. read more

Vinland Saga addpermalink

The concept of warfare with involvement of a main protagonist in conflicts strikes a cord throughout both series. There is the theme of revenge explored and intent to gain vengeance. At the same time, characters are well fleshed out with clever writing and details. They also earn both friends and allies throughout their experiences. Although Vinland Saga takes on a more adventurous journey, both series' setting has historical landscapes with rich details. Recommended for fans of historical action and drama.

Both of them are epic masterpieces of the action historical seinen genres. 

Both have incredible art styles that ooze with personality. 

Both have initially hot blooded main characters that grow up and undergo through some serious 
character development after the experience they gained from endless amounts of battles.

Both have very strongly written characters, with villainous figures that often outshine the main character in every aspect.
Both of them are excellent at creating large scale battles, but no only, the action these series provide are some of the most blood pumping and exciting stuff you can find in manga.

There is a tonal shift between the two after some point, but they still maintain a lot of similarities.

Both of them have strongly established themes right at the beginning of their serializations, although it might not be as obvious in Vinland Saga's case. Both stay true to their themes.

Both have historical background. The main characters live in a scenario of war and turmoil, and both want achieve the peace.

Both are full of fight scenes and action.  They're also full of philosophies, though Vinland Saga is more deep than Kingdom in that regard.  Both have strong protagonists that you root for and want to watch grow into wonderful men.

Kingdom is probably more exciting, as the enthusiasm never dies down.  In Vinland Saga, there are moments when fighting is not the main focus, but in Kingdom, fighting is quite present while not being overwhelming.  Kingdom is much longer, as well, so binging it is fun.

Kingdom is very good at being engaging, even where there are politically-heavy plot moments.  The tension is managed well, and you can feel the progress that the protagonist makes in reaching his goals. read more

Both mangas are about a world that is pretty much in constant war.
In Berserk you follow Guts and in Kingdom you follow Shin. Both have to fight to obtain their goals in life.

While Berserk is a darker toned manga, Kingdom is also a very serious manga that has a lot of moral story to it, just like Berserk.

There's blood. There's vengeance. And there's a determination to survive. Both Berserk and Kingdom has a protagonist with fiery determination to accomplish their goals. Tough and resilient, they become involved with very dangerous events that puts their lives in danger. However, their motivations are what causes them to become who they are in the present. There is a great amount of characterization and relationship building in both series. War also becomes a powerful theme as both series adapts its graphic contents.

- Both Series are gory
- Both series deals with war (Though Berserk is fantasy with mosters and such, where kingdom is set in china during the warring states period. Kingdom also deals a lot more with Politics)
- Both series have great art
- Both are very long running and ongoing series

Both are 10/10 in my oppinion

Kingdom and berserk revolves around a protagonist who thirst for blood and war. These two character must face countless enemies with monstrous strength in order to achieve their their ultimate goal. Both series sets in medieval time involving with the knight and the king. Both berserk and kingdom consist of violence, war and revenge, It also includes mature scene such as sex and affair. Both series are enjoyable and I definitely recommend u reading it if ur a fan of war stories or u love one of these series.

Both these mangas do a great job at boring the reader to death. While reading both these I kept wondering what people saw in these series 

reportRecommended by Jose39701

If you like berserk, you'll surely like kingdom, unless you're not into the strategical warfare or political element in a manga. Similar to Guts, the protagonist of Kingdom, Shin has a reckless and powerful personality, moreover i'm sure one of the important reasons you like berserk are due to the badass actions from the manga, well Kingdom also got this aspect too altough not as much badass as Berserk, but its definitely one of the best. Next there are the side characters, unlike berserk, which is dark asf, Kingdom aren't as dark but be sure to not be dissapointed, the backgrounds of each characters are told perfectly, Kingdom also aren't scared of killing off it's character, this is primarily due to the story being referenced from China's history of the first emperor of china that successfully united the whole states in China. read more
