In Both manga the main character is an anthropology professor and studies folklore and the supernatural events. They both believe that many of these myths that most presume to be entirely fictional are actually based on real events. They try to solve the cases with reasoning  
reportRecommended by ryo-san
There is a lot in both about ancient folklore in Japan, particularly the Jomon period. A lot of interesting facts are given, making both manga rather wordy but interesting. The characters explore caves in both, and awaken long forgotten mythical creatures. 
reportRecommended by Kaiko
The main characters are both professors who investigate strange theories about Japanese myths. They are both ostracized for their odd beliefs. There are a lot of folklore facts in both manga. 
reportRecommended by Kaiko
Both manga have interesting and sometimes gory interpretations of older, traditional stories. The main characters usually know what they are doing, so it is more of a question of how they will solve their problems rather than if they will solve their problems. Ghost/spirits appear in both and need to be exorcised or appeased.
