Both have very different plots but are similar in many ways. The artstyles of both are unconventional yet hold the story up. The familiar atmosphere of "the strong yet humble samurai" and a unique cast of characters we come to love in the backdrop of Edo japan. Takemitsu is a bit more abstract and artistic with more fights while House of five leaves focuses more on the story and seldom has any action. But the ambience is familiar while reading both 

Both are philosophical in their own right with social commentary on different sub topics, meanwhile they are different in terms of plot, the stylistic choice and the whole edo period setting has some similarities. 

- Both of these have exceptional character development; - all the main characters are extremely cool and likeable in their own ways; - both focus on the "adventures" of a tight group of characters, bound by some common goal; - both are serious and have quite dark moments (far more for saiyuuki though), both can be very humorous at times too; - the bromance is strong in both; - both have a very distinctive, unique are style (derived from Minekura- and Ono-sensei respective styles). Saiyuuki is far longer and Saraiya develops slower. Nonetheless both are pure brilliance and if you loved one, there's a high chance you will love the other too. read more
