Both about exorcist fighting demons. The main character is in a way related to them (in Ao no Exorcist he is the son of one and in D.Gray Man he was cursed). Both have a huge religious and slightly gothic background, involving the Vatican, priests...

D.Gray-man is another exorcist manga with similar ideas.  For one both protagonists have obtained powers that they didn't wish for and both end up dedicating themselves to organisations in order to fight demons/akuma. 

reportRecommended by azeriraz

Ao no Exorcist and D.Gray Man appeals to fantasy themes that involves monsters and demons. There are also organizations that are formed to fight them and the main protagonists are a part of those. Both series's storytelling also shares a lot of connections with the past. The main antagonist in both series also has a dark history that influences many of the events in the present story. Thus, expect plenty of action and plot twists. In addition, it's important to understand certain character relationships and their developments as the story progresses for both series.

-Similar themes aka group of teens in special school/society fighting various evil entities (spirits, demons, humans, etc.) all with special powers.  
-Both typical shounen but both are a little bit more mature than expected tropes, can be considered borderline seinen IMO which is nice.
-Special protagonist, really good equal character development, different but distinct character models.
-Mainly focused on story telling elements.
-Very little cheap fan service gimmicks, Exorcist has some mild nudity but not really perverted, especially in comparison with several other manga abundance within the genre..
-Verbose with lore and story progression can be a little slow.

Spunky and powerful exorcists, who are a bit more in touch with their emotions than other shounen protagonists. Plus, both authors chug that respect women juice daily since they're both, you know, women. None of the female characters get the short end of the fan-service stick (usually).

Naruto addpermalink

These two shounen serialisations share similar male protagonists. Both protagonists has suffered isolation because of their identity, and both has also overcome their isolation by fighting for what they believe in. Moreover, the two titles are mainly action-oriented so they both feature a lot of combat and the use of unique abilities and fighting styles.

Naruto and Rin both play host to powerful demons and face much adversity from those around them due to the actions of these demons. Both of them work to fight against their fate and create a new future despite their demonic natures. 

reportRecommended by ViralChaos

Both are action shounen series, and center around similar characters. Both Naruto and Rin are hated for something that isn't their fault - being the host of the Kyuubi in Naruto's case and the son of Satan in Rin's - and fight to be accepted, both are rather, uhm, dumb, but also charismatic, and both end up getting people to like them eventually. 

reportRecommended by LieutenantWinter

Although very different plots, they both begin with a group of students of a "special" school, ninja school for Naruto and exorcist school for Ao no Exorcist. But the main similitude is between the main characters, Naruto and Rin. Both have supernatural powers that they have to control. They begin being hated by everyone but they find friends later. They act the same way, always trying to help others no matter the consequences and not hating anyone. The both have the same stupid smile. 

reportRecommended by BlindNoldor

The story "Ao No Exorcist" is quite similar to Naruto. 

Both main characters have demon-like attributes. One is the son of Satan, and one is possessed by a 9 Tailed Demon Fox. Both of the main characters, Rin Okumura and Naruto Uzumaki are both very similar in personality as well. They are both the "Attack first and ask questions later" type of people.

Both are Shonen manga, and both a great read, if you're willing to delve into the realms of both Naruto and or Ao No Exorcist.

Both have a setting where the world is highly structured and is ruled by a ranking system. In Naruto the ranking system is of the Ninja (Genin, Chunin, etc.) where in Blue Exorcist it is the Exorcist rankings (Exwire, Exorcist, etc). And both Naruto and the main character of BE (Rin) have the same goal, and that is to be the best [insert super powerful being here]. If you're a fan of Naruto, then check out this title. It is definitely worth it!

666 Satan addpermalink

Both mangas seemed similar to me because the main character in both is playing host to Satan's powers. Ao no Futsumashi's character is the human son of Satan, while 666 Satan's character is the human host of Satan. Both characters face adversity because of that fact and fight against their supposed fate.

AR∀GO: London Shikei Tokushu Hanzai Sousakan addpermalink

Main character has to learn to understand and deal with a fate that he didn't intentionally ask for. Both involve demons/ghosts that interact with the main character and he also has to keep his abilities secret from everyone, including those most close to him. Both authors have a very similar illustration and writing  style, but is kept individual by key features within the characterizations. (i.e. you always feel like there is WAY more going on within the story than the author is willing to  tell you. There is a constant feel of foreshadowing.)

Soul Eater addpermalink

The similarities in these two series are profound. First, the setting is dictated by two groups. In Ao no Futsumashi, we have the humans against the demons. In Soul Eater, we have the meisters against the witches. Second, due to the uniqueness of the characters featured in both series, we are introduced to different fighting styles characterised by weapons, spells, and physical poweress. Third, the general asthetic is relatively similar.

Fullmetal Alchemist addpermalink

Although nearly everything about Ao no Futsumashi (a.k.a. Ao no Exorcist) and Fullmetal Alchemist is completely different, there is something about Ao no Futsumashi that makes it feel like the next Fullmetal Alchemist (in terms of greatness). Despite all their differences (concept, story, world mechanics, plot, etc...), there are some very notable parallels within the format of the two mangas.  

Both mangas have a smooth way of floating through it's more comical moments and underlying drama without seeming false. All characters, from both series, were drawn with great care and detail, thus making every character have it's own unique look. Each chapter has a feel of completeness yet leaves the reader hungering for more. Fights are well executed and not overly prolonged. Both mangas start off with a clear goal thus preventing the reader from feeling lost do to a lack of purpose within the plot. Seamless transitions between chapters. read more

Bungou Stray Dogs addpermalink

Mostly recommending both of these because they both have action, supernatural, fight against bad guys manga.
Both have a grey scale of good vs bad, though Bungou's lines are more blurred.
Orphan MC.

The biggest similarity between them is the similarity between Bungou's Dazai Osamu and AnE's Mephisto and later on, Lewin Light. They are all very cunning, manipulative, slightly twisted characters that could be collaborating with the opponent in order to achieve their own goals.
Yet most of the time, they have the facade of a fool which makes their serious moments more striking.

Both series start out with a simple supernatural premise, and become more complex as they go on.

Characters are similar, starting out as archetypes but gradually developing in interesting ways. 
Both have a school setting. Both balance humour, action and the supernatural. They have some horror undertones, that become more prominent  later on, as the plot gets darker and the stakes - higher. 
Hanako-kun has a faster pace than Blue Exorcist.

The main character in both are half demons whose father is so powerful it's stupid. Inuyasha and Rin are very similar in personalities and both have befriended a powerful priestess.
The real difference is the motive of the antagonist. The antagonist in Inuyasha (Naraku) made it very clear what he was after early on. The antagonist in Ao no Exorcist hasn't even been fully revealed yet let alone his motives.
