The exorcism is similar between the two. The method of storytelling and main characters feel pretty close as well. They both have a scratchy art style.

Another dark shounen title where it starts of somewhat happy and quickly turns dark. They strive away from the normal shounen formula and goes against the hero always wins norm. Both titles have very interesting and likable characters as well as a real good power system where they actually makes sense and are well thought out.
-The characters have a very similar design style.
-Both manga have an story structures, where the characters have special abilities and are part of an organization that hunt demons.
-Both take place in urban style Tokyo settings.
-Both have a darker horror vibes but with great comedic moments.
Both manga share very similar traits. I would recommend you to actually read both, it's interesting comparing and contrasting the aspects of these two stories that make them so popular.
Jujutsu Kaisen and Chainsaw Man. A pretty common recommendation on this site recently. But it’s true. The two are very similar.
Both began in Weekly Shōnen Jump in the year of 2018, and are darker and edgier battle shōnen manga. Both have a horror theme, similar art styles and both also take place in modern day Tokyo.
However, there are differences. Jujutsu Kaisen is more traditional, having more clean-ish art than Chainsaw Man, and isn’t as dark, messed up and morbid as that manga is. Jujutsu Kaisen is really reminding me of Chainsaw Man the more I read it. Fans of one should really check out the

So, you finished part 1 of Chainsaw Man and you're eagerly waiting for part 2? I can't think of a better series to pass that wait time than Jujutsu Kaisen. It scratches the same modern-setting, horror-action, occult-centered itch that Chainsaw Man appeals to without being so similar that you've already seen it before.
The two series' plots premises are remarkably similar at a glance, but they diverge well when it comes to their themes and how they handle their "edginess." Like CSM, JJK makes time for humor that generally lands, but its humor is far less morbid and lends JJK a far more typical-shounen feel.

~Both have very similar story about fighting curses/demons.

~Both are full of action and have horror vibes.
- Funny story/ protagonists
- Demons

- Easy to read
Firstly, the protagonists have +/- the same objectives: They are used as guinea pigs to eat "Fingers / Demon Parts" that if they survive they gain power / remain alive, if they cannot die or be killed !!! If you start reading Chainsaw Man having watched Jujutsu Kaisen you will see that they are very similar YES.

This is an obvious recommendation, but it's obvious for a reason!
I think of Jujutsu Kaisen and Chainsaw man as sister mangas, kind of. Besides coming out around the same time, they are extremely similar plotwise and there are a lot of parallells between characters and the roles they play in the story. There are some crucial differences though. CSM is a LOT darker and grittier than JJK, in style and theme. CSM's main character Denji comes from a shitty upbringing and his life gets progressively worse. If you, like me, thought the jujutsu sorcerer kids were having a rough time and wanted them to catch

Many similar things, but both are still individually good. I feel Chainsaw man is more chaotic and comedic but definitely has its serious moments as well.
Similar ish story.
Jujutsu Kaisen has cursed spirits while Chainsaw Man has demons.
You get the same feeling from both manga's.
Both of the main characters are under some organization that involve killing monsters.
They both follow a person who has a demon/devil inside of them.

Similar story, both slay creatures, both are animated by MAPPA (chainsaw man soon), both are dark fantasies and has that horror grotesque vibe into it.
Art styles are very similar as well as both main characters being portrayed as "ticking time bombs". The roles for some of the main characters from each series are almost identical for example fushiguro for jjk and aki from chainsaw man are almost the exact same when it comes to personality and the roles they fulfill. Both are amazing series.

Jujutsu kaisen is similar to Chainsaw man due to:
1- The organizations that fight against evil.
JJK: We have the sorcerers that fight against the curses (spirits) that threaten humanity. Sorcerers are controlled by the Jujutsu Technical High Schools which assign missions to the sorcerers.
CSM: There are the demon hunters who fight against the demons that threaten humanity.
The demon hunters are commanded by the organization known as the Public Security Demon Hunters who assign missions to the demon hunters.
2- Powers and abilities.
JJK: They use ritual techniques based on cursed energy (what curses are made of) to fight curses (hypocrisy).
CSM: Demon hunters make pacts with demons to fight

when i started chainsaw man i immediately had to check if jjk was by the same author-they are VERY similar and are both funny and follow different patterns than your usual shonen
-they both have similar protags (very straightforward, earnest, innocent, not your “typical” shonen protagonist full of lofty convictions)
-similar character interactions + same comedic sense
-the art styles are both sketchy and a little rugged (more so for jjk) so if one doesn’t bother you the other most likely won’t
-both are about demons and have very similar premises

If you like Jujutsu Kaisen I believe you will also like chainsaw man. So much is similar I really don't feel like naming them all off. I would not call this a rip off of any sort. The differences between the two are also easy to spot.
Chainsaw Man and Jujutsu Kaisen are both mangas with likable characters, a good story and there are great fights against evil devils and demons.

As mentioned before, it is also a part of the dark trio. Has similar pacing to an action shounen and the art is amazing. The plot twists are incredible and it is definitely one of those stories you can reread and uncover more things about the story the more times you read it. I personally thought the callback to denji asking makima if a perfect world will have bad movies is absolute genius writing. If you have read it you know what I am talking about and if you didn't then read it!!! It is a piece of art, go indulge in it.

They both have similar concepts like creatures being created from the fear of humans and uses Shōnen tropes in a unique execution that differentiate from the rest new gen. Also both of the authors of these series are friends and borrowing from one another.

There are countless similarities between Jujutsu Kaisen Chainsaw Man, we can mention the similarity between the characters, Itadori is like Denji, the kind and funny protagonist who doesn't want to hurt even the demons, Nobara is like Power, the protagonist's friend excited and outgoing, who often steals the show, Megumi is like Aki, the quiet boy with black hair who is a friend of the protagonists who had his family killed and wants revenge, Gojo is like Makima, both are very strong with incredible powers that can finish off any enemy, Miwa is like Kobeni, the two poor comic relief from the countryside.
