These manga have different plots and yet, many similarities:
- Beautiful artwork
- Victorian Era fantasy
- The main hero makes a contract with a supernatural being in order to discover his past, the secrets surrounding his family and loved ones. 
However, PH focus a lot more on romance/friendship, while Kuroshitsuji has a focus more on mystery. Still, both present you with lots of action, adventure and mostly, with unexpected twists that will leave you speechless for quite some time. 
The characters make you get attached to them, with complex personalities and backstories. There are no gary stu or mary sue and you'll be surprised and never get bored because the story progresses in a way that always keeps you wanting to know more. 
If you liked one, you'll most likely like the other:D  read more

Both series have a sort of fantasy Victorian theme, though Pandora Hearts focuses more on fantasy and Kuroshitsuji on Victorian. Kuroshitsuji is, overall, darker than Pandora Hearts, though Pandora Hearts does have a fair share of horror, but neither are without humor.

Kuroshitrsuji and Pandora Hearts are lot alike. In both stories something tragic has happened in the past. There are supernatural powers and both have a lot of comedy and adventure. both are truly amazing stories with a contract between the two main characters. These two stories will make you laugh, cry, and make you want to punch that one person in your class whom you hate. They both take place in the past around the Victorian Era. While Kuroshitsuji has a gothic style of art and story and Pandora Hearts has a brighter and cheerful aura the two stories will always make you love one of the main characters.

Both Pandora Hearts and Kuroshitsuji deal with servants and their masters. In both of these, the master is a (in the words of Sharon from Pandora Hearts) "shota" type and the servants are "bishounen". Both of the masters in these series have a dark auras to them at times (although Oz seems nicer than Ciel at first glance) and both of these series involve contracts plus lots of bishounen. These manga both have dark/Gothic atmostpheres to them and both are set in a European setting.

Not only do Pandora Hearts and Kuroshitsuji (Black Butler) have a similar style with their settings, there are also numerous similarities when it comes with the general setup. For instance, there is the concept of a 'contract' between two main characters. The story feels like a fantasy adventure with darker tones and motives as the series progresses. In light of this, the relationship between the two main characters are the most fascinating as we get to see different side of them. Recommended for anyone looking for a fantasy adventure with an elegant Victorian setting.

Both seem to be set around the same time period. Both main characters' parents died when they were just children, thus making them take on the role of head of their noble family. They are both earls and are taken care of by butlers who have made a promise to always be by their side. Both are very dark and have beautiful artwork. I had read Kuroshtsuji first, and when I read Godchild I thought to myself, "Wow, this has a lot in common to Kuroshitsuji in terms of main characters"

I read the Count Cain/GodChild series first and completed it way before I knew the existence of Kuroshitsuji. However, the storyline for both is very very similar. They both grew up without their parents. They both have amazingly loyal butlers at their side and they also have a girl at their side that they want to protect. They even have a couple of recurring friends who help them out (Oscar in Cain, Lau in Kuroshitsuji). In fact, it's probably faster to list the differences between the two series.

Firstly, there's more (obvious) supernatural themes in Kuroshitsuji than in GodChild. Godchild is also darker than Kuroshitsuji. The latter have some really silly characters and recurring jokes throughout the series. Frankly, I adore the Cain series more than Kuroshitsuji because the former has really solid, well-developed characters. Every character has a fantastic back story that connects them to each other. read more

Kuroshitsuji is a bit like Godchild in a lot of ways; mainly both take place in Victorian England, and the protagonist is a somewhat cynical, mysterious noble that serves the Crown. The plot lines also run parallel, as Earl Ciel and Count/Earl Cain are both apparently called on a lot to solve mysterious happenings across Britain while their shady and angsty past is revealed in flashbacks. The main difference is that Ciel has an awesome demon butler to help him in all his endeavors, while Cain has Riff. Both also have a very very select group of friends and servants, with a few living relatives. If you like dark manga with delicious Gothic-type costumes and scenery, Kuroshitsuji is the manga for you. read more

It really wouldn't be a stretch to say that Yana Toboso was definitely inspired by the Cain Series when she came up with Kuroshitsuji. The similarities are striking - a teenage Earl who lives in Victorian England, who has an abusive past that he goes out of his way to hide from everybody, except his super loyal butler, who knows everything to know about his young master. 
The Earl is smart and manipulative, and goes to great lengths to solve the mysterious/supernatural occurrences that happen in his city - including cross dressing as a woman. Both series have their light and dark moments, and after going through chapters 135 and 137, I can confidently say that Kuroshitsuji is as dark (if not more) as the Cain series. read more

Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro addpermalink

It's similiar to it in by how it gives you the same feel (well, to me anyways lolz) that Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro gives you. ^^ It may not seem like something good, since it doesn't seem to have a 'real' mainstory, but as you read on, there's an inkling of mystery that I cannot pass up on NOT finding out. The stories a bit dull at first and may seem like any other manga, but please do NOT be fooled by it; it has a special place in my heart, as do any other manga and anime that I like do, that I must recommend for everyone. 

The main character, the butler, named Sebastian, reminds me very much of Neuro, only a bit more mysterious and not quite as sadistic as Neuro is. The boy that Sebastian serves, reminds me of Yako; their relationship isn't the same as Neuro's and Yako's is, but I hope that it reminds you of them if you get a chance to read it.

One thing that is another up about it is, is that the art is very beautiful and it's very hard not to resist oogling it =) read more

You'll find eye-patches, Shinigami, contracts and death, wrapped up in a dark but at times unserious mood.
The most notable similarities are between their characters: in both we have the usually clumsy meganekko (Michiru/Meilin), the homo who provides comic relief (Hakka/Grell), the always calm and kinda tedious Chinese guy whose eyes are constantly shut (Toho/Lau), the emotionless pretty girl (Kuze/Ranmao), the weird and non-human ferryman/grave-digger (Bekko/Undertaker), the cute and cheerful shota boy (Yuta/Finnian), and even the domesticated wolf (Raika/Pluto).

Both are dark and mysterious, filled with fancy clothing and beautiful characters, who appear to be superior than ordinary humans. In Kuroshitsuji you can find demons and shinigamis, while in Shirokuro Kitan the Malice users are called with the same names by the people, even though it is yet to be revealed what are they truly. The main characters (Ciel/Ririko) are trying to find the truth behind their parents' death/disappearance and some kind of supernatural being/power is helping (or wil help) them, but not for free. Also, it seems that in both there is some kind of conspiracy going on in the shdows, for which only a few of the characters know. Their parents are most likely involved in it. You can find similarities in the art too, since the artists rely on it more than on words when it comes to showing a character's emotions. read more

Both stories are told in an episodic way as the servant goes about fulfilling ridiculous demands from their master by means of a lot of violence and makes it home in time to have dinner on the table. Though the main character is much more human, he has a mysterious background, similar looks, and a similar style to Sebastian. They both elegantly decimate their enemies using knives, while being polite and rambling on about their "aesthetics". Sebastian's aesthetics are to serve perfectly as a demon and a butler.

"Black Butler" and "Dusk Howler" are fantasy shounen stories with BL subtext and lots of bishounens created by yaoi artists, but "Black Butler" is a mystical story where an aristocratic boy named Ciel Phantomhive (a human) and his genius butler named Sebastian Michaelis (a demon) are involved in solving crimes in Victorian England, while "Dusk Howler" is a LitRPG story where an experienced player named Nine (an undead, a necromancer and the head of the guild of thieves and murderers Dusk Howler) helps a novice player named Jaiha (a human and a wizard) complete quests in the virtual MMORPG game "Trikia" ("Thrace").    

Jaiha is an unemployed 21-year-old man who started playing "Trikia" in order to overcome his social phobia, while Nine is an eccentric and mysterious player who, at first glance, helps Jaiha just for fun, but in fact he has a cherished desire and wants Jaiha to help him fulfill this desire.  

Jaiha has short brown hair, but his face and personality are very cute and feminine, so other players perceive him as a pretty girl, while Nine is a crazy and perverted bishounen with long light gray hair who is similar in personality to something between Grell Sutcliff and Undertaker in "Black Butler", so other players are afraid and avoid him. read more

In summation:
BOTH AWESOME MANGAS WITH EYE-CANDY AND A GOOD PLOT

---------------

[TLDR version] Points of similarity:

beautiful and detailed art style, dark twisted mysteries, attractive character design, characters with secret identities, action, BAMF characters, shounen-ai but not really, adorable shota, some form of espionage, pseudo-military, police force, historical setting, underlying master plot that runs in the background

---------------

Really surprised Adekan wasn't in the recommendations before.
Mind you that this manga handles more mature themes than Kuroshitsuji...
which is what I actually love about it.

1. Adekan's art style is very ornate, fluid, and detailed. Unlike Kuroshitsuji, it's set in a sort of fantasy Meiji era so it features a lot of traditional Japanese aesthetics mixed with a Western flair. 

2. If you appreciated Kuroshitsuji for the dark mysteries and a twisted take on human society, you'd like Adekan even more on that aspect because it doesn't hold bars on that point. I'd say more but that spoils the fun.

3. The characters are damn attractive. Bishounen and bishoujo everywhere. As I've said, it's more mature, so there's a lot of more skin showing and rubbing happening here. Nothing explicit! Just a lot of fanservice-y eye candy. And when I mentioned how fluid the art style is... You'll see how bendy the characters are.

4. They're also damn powerful while being so pretty. If you love the whole "Damn he doesn't look like it but he's actually pretty strong", you'll love Adekan. There's a lot of martial arts and action in this, which is really awesome, but wherein a brawl becomes more like a beautiful deadly dance. And when I say fluid art style... I meant it.

5. It's also damn funny and fluffy. Despite the whole darkness and twistedness of it all, it's all pretty easy to take in. It's paced nicely and the bits of filler chapters are just adorable. read more

The thing about these manga, though is that there is a big interesting difference.  Black Butler is long, but really good and worth the time.

Natsume Yuujinchou addpermalink

Kuroshitsuji is darker than Natsume Yuujinchou too, with the same saddness; don't be fooled when you start reading it, it's NOT a yaoi manga. It starts off with a few mundane stuff, but it gets better and more in depth with an inkling of a darker tale than what it appears to have.

Similar main protagonists and art style.

Emma addpermalink

Although Kuroshitsuji has more of a supernatural and much darker setting, whereas Emma is a romance story, both works take place at the same era and share the same backdrop, Victorian London. Also both revolve around the lives of English aristocracy and they insert some ethnic Indian notes in parts of the story. In a way, the protagonists of both works are fighting with their own "demons" to overcome the obstacles in their way to achieve their goals. Their art is very detailed and beautiful, especially the depiction of the clothes and scenery. So if you enjoy reading novels set in old and elegant environments, with maids and butlers, fancy clothes, ballroom dances and banquets, old style architecture and items as well as elaborate language, social needs and standards of that era, with some doses of drama and struggle in them, then both manga works are for you.  read more

Shitsuji-sama no Okiniiri addpermalink

Shitsuji-sama no Okiniiri and Kuroshitsuji both have amazingly handsome butlers. Shitsuji-sama no Okiniiri is shoujo since the main character is a girl. But if you're attracted by beautiful uniformed butlers, it'll be a pleasure to read either of the two titles.

Vassalord. addpermalink

Both are dark fantasy-ish whit really dark undertones, but still a sense of humor. Both are also action and  both has, while Vassalord is a real shonen-ai, much boyxboy fanservice. The art is very refined in both and the characters are interesting and the whole story is mysterious. And Ah the handsome guys!

Karneval addpermalink

If you're into supernatural fantasy is part of your vocabulary, then Kuroshitsuji (Black Butler) and Karneval are definitely something to look into. For its colorful cast of characters also come a fascinating setting with vast potentials. There are supernatural elements present in both series inspired by the premise and gimmicks. The main male protagonist from both series contrasts a bit differently however but their relationships with others are cleverly crafted. Similarly, their stories offers many glimpses at plot twists with attractive mystery elements to keep you at your seat.

Vertrag Guuwa addpermalink

If you like Black Butler - you might like Vartrag Tale.    These historical supernatural gothic stories feature a contract between a demon and a young boy.   Vartrag Tale is a shoujo and shouen ai and complete.   They both have shouen ai / bl type elements to them and they  have a European type setting, although the demons are different.   In Kuroshitsuji the demon is a butler but in Vartrag Tale he is a long haired winged demon lord but both feature the demon being a good looking mature male and the boy being an adolescent.  Black Butler has much more real world settings and horror while Vartrag features angels and supernatural elements.   read more

Halloween Tantei Oz Williams addpermalink

Both takes place in London, with the main character has a child. A butler/guardian type person around 24/7, most importantly; they have powers to bring their master's back to their original state. Talks about solving mysterious cases, detective like. Both main character's parents were murdered. Very similar story, just different cast.

Doors of Chaos addpermalink

I think it' s similar only because Doors of Chaos made in gothic style, just like Kuroshitsuji, so I loved it.

No.99: Ningen Omocha addpermalink

'No. 99..' as well as 'Kuroshitsuji' tells about the young earl and his loyal butler. One difference is that in the first manga, butler is elder man (something like Tanaka in 'Kuro'). But the both lords are very similar-looking and pretty spoiled.

Besides, 'Ningen Omocha' is yaoi, and 'Kuroshitsuji' is authorship of yaoi mangaka.

Blood Alone addpermalink

there is a older male taking care of a child to the point of (somewhat in Blood Alone) being their servant.

Glamorous Lip addpermalink

They share the same author, and therefore, the same art style. Although the art of the Kuroshitsuji manga is more refined due to being more recent. If you like both Kuroshitsuji and BL, you will probably like Glamorous Lip. There is one story within the anthology that contains a couple who resemble Ciel and Sebastian, but only design-wise.

Demon 72 addpermalink

Gothic-styled mangas about a boy who summons a demon to be his servant.

Hi no Matoi addpermalink

Kuroshitsuji and Hi no Matoi have beautiful art and some of their characters remind me of each other - a noble "brat", and an unorthodox "older brother-like" figure - even so Wakagimi reminds me more of Sebastian and Kotarou reminds me of Ciel.

Number addpermalink

Toneriko is to Ciel as Tekirai is to Sebastian; in both stories the main boys family was killed and he is seeking revenge. also both have hints of bl, great art, and a grasping story line-
if you liked one you'll like the other

Inu x Boku SS addpermalink

The relationship between a butler/servant and a master. Inu x Boku SS and Kuroshitsuji (Black Butler) has fantasy themes and deals with the world of supernatural. In both series, there exists a contract/relationship between two unlikely characters. They aren't very similar but their relationship develops over time. 

Kuroshitsuji takes the concept of a fantasy adventure while Inu x Boku SS adapts more of a slice of life theme. Both series uses clever dialogue and lighthearted comedy. However, Kuroshitsuji does have a dark side to its story arcs that have more of a mature feeling. Recommended for fans of fantasy drama.
