Both mangas are about lives of samurais who strive to become stronger. There is fascinating swordsmanship, ups and downs of characters, some romance too. A lot of deaths and blood, typical of Japan of that days. It's quite realistic in that way. Interesting thing: - Vagabond setting is right after the victory of the Tokugawa Clan at the Battle of Sekigahara (16th century) and Sidooh setting is right before the end of the Tokugawa Shogunate (19th century). It's like the beginning and the ending of the Tokugawa reign. In addition, both of them has very good art. So if you are interested in the stories about samurai and japan, you shouldn't miss them. read more 

Centered around the art of swordsmanship of the samurai, they definitely have their connections to each other. While Sidooh is definitely more tame than Shigurui in terms of shock value, both center around matches, bloodshed and the struggle that comes with being a samurai (not set in the same era). Sidooh follows an adventurous storyline of two boys wanting to master swordsmanship, whereas Shigurui is told in the form of a recollection of memories of a death match.
