Both feature assassins who kill the corrupt at night while trying to live other lives. Both feature law enforcement agents who chase after them, and both have heavy church overtones. But more than that, both of these mangas have a tragic but engaging tone, Tista more than Dendrobates perhaps because there aren't as many unrelated one-shot cases. They both have that murky question of should vigilante justice be allowed and how the past continues to haunt us. 

Stories about kids that were raised to kill. 

In the manga TISTA, we have a young girl-Tista-with special eyes that allow her to see blocks away, so she can kill people "for the better good." She was trained to be an expert assassin and hone her abilities under the Catholic church, until she eventually set out into vast NYC, NY. During the day she is reclusive, college student Tista. By night, she is Sister Militia. Now, in Death Note, we have Light Yagami, suffering terribly from boredom. He soon finds the Death Note of the shinigami Ryuuk. Things pass, and the serial killer 'Kira' is born. But, these are just the basics, and a small introduction to both manga. So, how are these similar? For starters, they both have the serial killer/assassin thing going on with the protagonists. They also have 'special eyes,' but in Death Note you have to, in a sense, 'buy' them. With your life. There's action in both of them, and both protagonists have expert detectives-who come off a little eccentric, one more so than the other-after them. Also, both Tista and Light are living double lives with different names. So, in all, yes I would recommend TISTA to any one who enjoyed Death Note. Besides the much more pronounced religious themes in TISTA, it's pretty similar to Death Note. They both make you think. And the question of 'What they're doing-is it truly evil?' lies in the pages. read more 

I think the two of them give a similar feel. D. Gray-man has a bit more comedy and Tista is a little on the darker side, and Tista is wayyy shorter the D. Gray-man (it's completed at 9 chapters) but they are really similar. The main characters are both people with hard pasts (It's just that Tista doesn't remember hers) that fight and kill for justice. Allen and Tista both have a special eye. In both stories, the main characters watched their parents die and that becomes their motive for becoming who they are today. Both mangas have a character that is cheerful and supports the main character (Arty doesn't really support Tista directly, but he never really gives up on her). Both mangas are also related to the mind and death and loneliness. Overall, both are great, and if you like one you'll probably like the other. read more 

A tortured female protagonist struggles with their sad backstory and their choice to live a sordid life full of death and murder. Soloist has a more dystopian setting than Tista, but the emotional journeys the main characters go through are similar. 

Both of the characters are warped, with the latest chapters of Pandora Hearts giving you a creepy feeling when they act weirdly, with laughing a bit insanely for instance with a creepy, blank look on their faces. They both have a dark past. 

Tista is about a girl named Tista, who is forced to fight under a messed up religious church; it's rather darker than Natsume Yuujinchou in many ways, but it has the same ideal saddness and no real plot in it. 

Same kind of plot...its the story of a girl who works as an assassin for a church but has more romance or romantic connectioon between the girl and atty, the male lead. 

Apart from the art style, which I find quite similar, these manga also start almost in the same manner: a rather normal guy (Ichigo/Arty) suddenly stumbles across a strange, and due to her looks apparently harmless girl (Rukia/Tista) while she's doing her dangerous job: respectively a soul reaper & a murderer. After that, the two become ineluctably linked. While Bleach is an extremely long supernatural shounen manga, Tista is more mature, much shorter, and mainly focused on gunfights and psychological drama. 

Both Tista & Revy are girls drowned in a spiral of violence, who learned to kill since they were kids, and who get involved with an average guy who is a stranger of this dark side of the world, but chooses to follow her anyway. She will then become his bodyguard. Also, Tista having a dangerous, evil side, popping out every now and then, reminded me of Roberta. Same vibes with plenty of gunfights, action, murders, mafia, violence, and the same dirty, corrupted city setting. 

Both are really good, two volumes-long series in which two teenagers, who met each other kinda suddenly, get involved in a rather unpleasant and dangerous situation (kidnap, murder, gunfights, villains, and the like). The main difference is how the roles of the two main characters are exact opposites: while in C-Blossom Ko is the gunslinger bodyguard of Kana, in Tista it's the girl who wields the guns. 

Both series feature characters who are excellent gun-wielders due to their special abilities.
