Both shows the characters have partners to use in between battles. And have the same type of super powers they are using. Similar comedy moments. Both Characters has the exact same type of personalities compared to Soul Eater.

Shaman King and The Law of Ueki deal with a lot of the same topics, like, how both main characters couldn't care less about everything, the fights and the tournaments, and even the same kind of discussions between characters

Both of the series have a similar battle system JoJo has "Stand" while Shaman King has "Guardian Ghost" or "Soul Control" , both of the series are adventurous although JoJos adventure might be a different than what you think. The fights are well thought out and hardly little or no use of Nakama. Shaman King may start off a bit slow but once it gets into action you'll be hooke. Both of these series are Underrated and very good battle Shounen that are done right

By the same creator, of Shaman king. If you enjoyed Shaman King, then Butsu Zone also has all the adventure,supernatural, and spiritual qualities you're looking for, as well as humour.

Both are shonen adventure manga that have a similar pattern of being incredibly funny, even during life threatening situations. Anyone who liked the quirky, involving and epic but still hilarious, even darkly hilarious at times, storyline of either would probably like both. They are both supernatural, and have non-racist heroes in a judgmental and often murderous world.

Both are supernatural Shonen manga where the main characters have to deal with spirits and demons.

Shounen series about two things: the supernatural, and fight tournaments. YYH is more about spirit-based attacks and demons while SK is about ghosts, but both like to toss in references to Japanese mythology and spiritual beliefs so there's still lots of common ground.

Both main characters have a partner that they fight alongside with, and must defeat others who are in a similar situation so that they can become the strongest.

Guardian Spirits. Merging with Spirits. Spirit fights. Modern life setting. 
reportRecommended by Erenussocrates
Both have young magic users ( Magi, Shaman) that can summon humanoid magical beings ( djinns, spirits). 
reportRecommended by Senzu15
Although Gamaran has just a little bit of "gore", both are Shonen mangas. They fight with different, weapons, and in Shaman King there is Supernatural involved, but if you like one of them you'll likely like the other too.

Noragami and Shaman King are both supernatural action manga and both of the main protagonists (Yato and Yoh) are pretty similar. Noragami (from what I’ve read so far) doesn’t have any tournaments, but the feeling of both manga are very similar.

+ Protagonists get stronger and stronger + Enemies are going to be the best friends + Tournament to be the strongest on the world + the fights are very amusing + the goals of the protagonists are similar - Shaman King has more plot - Baki has more tournaments 
reportRecommended by shinomonogatari
Both series deal with spirits, demons, have idealistic protagonists, set in Japan, power ups, that sort of stuff. 
reportRecommended by slouchbag
Both series involve the cast using spirits, and their powers, to fight for good or evil. 
reportRecommended by l33tmaster104
Both series are about people who can see ghost. Still though, Shaman King is more childish. 
reportRecommended by Nerdo
Both characters are warped, said to be a key of somesort, are hunted down by someone/other, trust people easily, are easily fooled, have a contract of somesort with someone/other, ect... 
reportRecommended by AuroraStar
both manga use spirits to possess a person allowing them to fight with greater power then they have  
reportRecommended by patrat
Both series have main characters who accumulate friends and allies on the basis of their unique categorization (shamans in Shaman King, mafia members in Reborn!). They also have, after a certain point, battle after battle and the accompanying need to improve their abilities to accomodate their opponents' abilities. Reborn! doesn't have Shaman King's tournament structure, but the successive showdowns and increasing danger of their enemies mimics it anyway.

Both are battle series about slacker heroes given supernatural powers.

Both are shounen manga series dealing with a young protagonist and his spiritual companion.  
reportRecommended by Zaky-Zura
In Klan people turn into animals instead of connecting with spirits, but their connection with animal side hold many shamanic features. Both series focus on fights inside shamanic-like-kind. 
reportRecommended by Sztormcia
Same artist and has a similar super natural feel, the only difference that i really feel present is that souls are exchanged with mechs 
reportRecommended by Ragnao
when i first started reading this manga, shaman king came to my head, since they bith have to do with competitions with their group. 
reportRecommended by kiyomigirl
both shaman king and magic ban removal is about some kind of almighty magical being who stands above all other and how those people is trying to take he/her position the only diffrens is that in shaman king are they shamans and in magical ban removal is it magicans.

Same author. Same art style too, needless to say. Also both relates to humans partnering up. In Ultimo, it's human-dolls like robots. In Shaman King, it's ghosts.  
reportRecommended by gatokitty
Both deal with spirits and the supernatural in a non-traditional manner, even though it's exorcists in Ga-Rei and shamans in Shaman King. Their fighting styles involve controlling the spirits directly. Both protagonists come from a powerful lineage in their respective trades, shouldering heavy responsibilities.
