Both series look at Japanese folklore in an unusual and unique way, with an amiable but mysterious practitioner of a strange trade giving aid to those afflicted by forces they can't see or understand. In both series lessons are sometimes learned, and not all stories end happily.

At first glance you might not notice any similarities between these two series, but dive beneath their surface and you can really tell that they both have a similar theme of trying to create classic folktale-esque stories and deliver them to the audience in both a unique and meaningful way. I took away a lot from reading both of these series and anyone into a more historical or folktale series of stories is definitely in for some good times if they check out either of these.
