This starts off rather slow and boring but get's better as you go through it. It's very creative and original and has all sort of great and individual characters that you will like. It has just as much adventure and action as one piece or Fairy Tail. Thogh it may be a little different, it's still worth checking out. 

Though it goes on hiatus every so often, it's still worth reading and keeping up with. It was successful in it's prime a good decade ago and is still going strong.

 They're pretty similar at their core. Both are heavily reliant on the idea of the "infinite" world, as well, as how we're still able to impact it to an extent. Narrative structure wise, they're also crazy similar. As for foreshadowing as well too. Along with how certain details/elements are conveyed, through narrative, panelling, characters, etc. Another thing would be character interactions, they both feel "real", in a sense, that their convos feels like real people talking to each other. Then there's all the adventure elemtents, too. Lastly, the power-systems as-well, to a small degree. Also, Togashi/Oda kinda works in a alike way - as well as how organically they develop as writers, which results in them coveying details in such fashions. read more

Both shonen have a diverse cast of characters with unique abilities and focus on combat and fast pace. BNHA is more childish in its themes and more easygoing while HxH is deeper and more serious.

Out of all the current manga and anime, Hunter x Hunter is definitely the most similar one to Naruto. They may give off different vibes but both their content is extremely similar. For one, both main characters start off at the age of 12 years old and have similar characteristics such as a super strong resolve and also having the power to change people or make people believe in them. Both mangas have a character who is the last member of their clan and also want revenge on the person who did it and their eyes also turn red. There's also a character who leaves after making friends with the main character and this character is also a childhood prodigy(in different ways) and also uses the lightning element. Both have Exams for their occupation; in naruto it's the chunin exams while in HxH it's the hunter exams. The content of some of the exams are also similar to each other. You also have a creepy main villain who appear during the exams: HxH has Hisoka and Naruto has Orochimaru. Chakra, main source of energy and power in Naruto, is like that of Nen, main source of energy and power in Hunter X Hunter. Both series has a strong old lady who makes herself look younger. Ways of identifying their nen and chakra elements are also extremely similar as well. *note Hunter x Hunter was published first*.  read more

Both Magi and Hunter x Hunter stray from normal shonen tropes by introducing a group of main characters and then separating them for very long portions at a time while introducing brand new characters to seemingly take their place until those original main characters return. It's a nice shake-up and both Togashi and Ohtaka are good at creating new characters that are interesting.

They also deal with a lot of darker subject matter that most modern shonen manga wouldn't touch with a 10 foot pool. Magi isn't anywhere near as dark or complex as Hunter x Hunter, but it does seem to be inspired by it in various ways. 

One way I've always liked describing it as that Magi has the world building of One Piece but the storytelling of Hunter x Hunter. read more

It's quite interesting how similar Magi and Hunter are.

Magi's characterization is on par with Hunter's; well designed and well developed characters who have great character development, personality's, and interaction with the other characters. Aladdin alone reminds me of Gon from Hunter. There are also some aspects of the world building that are similar with both of them being in a fantasy setting. As for the arcs, Magi and Hunter both offer something different for each arc while still progressing the story forward. Interesting to note that there are moments in both series where it focuses on other characters besides the main character or main cast.

Both Magi and Hunter are surprisingly dark despite their initial appearances. They are both slow to start off but once they hit a certain point, things progress smoothly. Magi and Hunter aren't afraid to show brutal deaths and violence. They also both tackle real World Problems, Politics, and the Psyche of others. There are things in both of them that put them apart from the typical Shonen series and almost make them borderline Seinen. read more

Level E is an earlier manga by Togashi-sensei; it's sci-fi themed involving aliens living in modern day (well, modern for when it was written anyway) Japan. It's a good, fairly short (three volume) read, that is in turns funny and dark (and made me itch for a crossover with "Men in Black"). What's particularly interesting, and the reason I recommend it to Hunter x Hunter readers, is that Level E has proto versions of some of the ideas used in Hunter x Hunter - the most obvious being Greed Island, and much to a lesser degree the Chimera Ants.

Both are shounen that question the moral and aesthetic implications of the demographic. While stylistically different and almost polar-opposites tone-wise, both series go to great lengths to make their point, telling several (rather thematically disconnect) stories in order to amplify the exploration of their main thematic. They both feature a protagonist that challenges shounen conventions and subvert the establish shounen tropes, although Hunter x Hunter is more blatant about it. They differ greatly in narrative, although both have the superficial element of a son aiming for his father (defeating him in Baki and finding him in HxH).

One Punch-Man addpermalink

The most obvious comparison is that the two are both battle shounen with pretty great action sequences. Saitama (One Punch-Man) has some similarities with Gon (Hunter x Hunter): both are kind of dense, enjoy goofing off, have immense power even though they don't look like it, and can be pretty scary when they get serious. Genos (One Punch-Man) has some similarities with Killua and Kurapika (Hunter x Hunter): Genos and Killua both have natural skill, power, a cool sense of seriousness, and wish to catch up to their respective partners; Genos and Kurapika both have goals towards exacting revenge on those who wronged them. The enemies in both One Punch-Man and Hunter x Hunter have interesting designs and relatively well thought out backgrounds. I also found similarities between One Punch-Man's Heroes Association and Hunter x Hunter's Hunters Association as they both: have an exam to qualify, employ Heroes/Hunters in mass quantities, distinguish Heroes/Hunters by ranking, and strive to protect the world from any type of danger.

Overall, both are enjoyable series. If you like action with some comedic value thrown in, these two are both great reads.      read more

Girly dude with chains, similar setting and events (tournaments, exams and so on) but with more action. Saint Seiya left biggest impact on Yoshihiro Togashi's creations.

Soul Eater addpermalink

The similarities between these two shows come in the form of the tone...

Both are dark and the amungst the more 'mature' shounen's avaliable: 
- we don't simply see a 'fountain of blood' to maintain a 'horror' element, there is actual graphic scenery
- there we have crudeness present in both which doesn't rely on your typical cases of half naked ladies

We don't have a single 'be all and end all' safe hero:
- the 'good guys' aren't particullarly angelic
- minors and new cast members establish themselves
- 'bad guys' get their fair share of attention when not facing off against 'the hero's'

Pandora Hearts addpermalink

Both of the characters have extremely warped mines, always thinking optimistically of the situation that their in. They are both very scary and interesting at the same time.

Manga: Jio to Ougon to Kinjirareta Mahou

Jio to Ougon to Kinjirareta Mahou addpermalink

Happy little dude with amazing strength goes on world changing adventures. Both Gon and Jio have similar personalities; kind, compassionate, and joyful, but when stuff gets serious can be frighteningly powerful and serious.

Terra Formars addpermalink

If you liked HXH's Chimera Ant arc in particular and want something else like that, Terra Formars is a similar idea with humans fighting mutated roaches on Mars, enhanced by insect DNA.

Rave addpermalink

Both about a guy that respects his father and want to follow his steps in a similar fantasy world.

666 Satan addpermalink

The same fantasy action/adventure setup, both about a boy/girl following the steps of their deceased (but not actually deceased) father in a similar hunting-like story.

Kyokutou Chimeratica addpermalink

Anyone who love the Chimera Ant arc of Hunter x Hunter should read Kyokutou Chimeratica (KKC). 

KKC and HxH both has a Hunter Association that tries to fight mutated creatures called "Chimeras." The formation of Chimeras is very similar in both series as well (primarily through "phagogenesis"). Both series feature a young hunter protagonist who is surrounded by powerful Hunters. 

KKC is a fantasy monster-hunting manga and the adventure seems very close to what Togashi teased would take place in HxH's Dark Continent Saga.

Shingeki no Kyojin addpermalink

Manga that might be action shounen, but it certainly doesn't skim on depth of the characters, with cast that is not divided just into "good" and "evil", a protagonist that selfish and willing to follow his goal with disregard to consequences, the plot sometimes delving into more philosophical area.

Undead + Unluck addpermalink

Strategy based fighting. The power systems are very unique.

Tokyo Ghoul addpermalink

If you like that dark mood HunterxHunter provides, then you'll be completely satisfied with Tokyo Ghoul. This manga can hit you very deep in that sphere of emotion. I'd even like to add to this that the darker emotions can be caught even more thoroughly in Tokyo Ghoul because you get to feel them through the characters, as they catch your senses very quickly.

Yu☆Gi☆Oh! addpermalink

These series both have a strong, and passionate focus on gaming and its many different aspects, both Togashi and Takahashi clearly have a deep love for it. This is shown in so many different plots throughout both, from Dice Games, Card Games, Roleplaying Games and more in Yu-Gi-Oh, to the complex Greed Island RPG, the national game of East Gortheu Gungi, and the many mind games that fill the pages of Hunter X Hunter. Both manga are great, although Hunter X Hunter much better in the end, they both are great shounen reads.

Dragon Ball addpermalink

The Cell saga and Chimera Ant saga are pretty similar, and both have lots of chapters of training.

Uchuu Kyoudai addpermalink

The series both have a beginning arc that is incredibly similar. 
The tests the potential astronauts have to go through are incredibly similar to the tests of potential Hunters have to go through.

Nige Jouzu no Wakagimi addpermalink

Both series are about kids on quests in worlds that really aren't friendly to kids. The personalities of the supporting characters are similar levels of weird, though The Elusive Samurai doesn't have any overt speculative fiction elements like HxH does.

Tegamibachi addpermalink

A 12 year-old boy sets out on a journey in hopes of finding his missing parent (Ging in HxH, Lag's mother in Tegami Bachi). If you want a manga with adventure, plenty of likeable characters, unique fantasy settings, and some good world-building, you're likely to enjoy either one of these series.

Kingdom Hearts addpermalink

Both have main characters who love to help other people. Both have white haired best friends who reach into peoples chests and play with their hearts. 

Please read Hunter X Hunter.
