Both series have a similar style of art and feature characters who set out on a journey for a higher purpose. Usually it's defeating the evil and protecting the good as the main characters develops legendary or mysterious powers doing so.

Both series deal with maturing characters throughout the series, as in aging. Villians try to either take over or destroy the earth, which the main characters try to prevent for various reasons, this involves a series of random adventures and trainings.

Both the main characters are rather similar, they think big of themselves until that one moment where they get humiliated. They train in order to improve themselves as they go on adventures or quests. During those trainings and adventures, they encounter villians whom they then, fight, to protect everything that's good and sacred.

Both series have demons, humans conflict which brings up the question of what makes them so different of each other in the end? They have a clear plot path and utilize the cast brilliantly for a satisfactory payoff. Dai, Tama, Shinsuke, Jinka, Popp... all have an interesting approach to the genre and a huge evolution throughout which is both fun and mesmerizing to read!

Beet and Dragon Quest come from the same authors. If the world appears to be different, both of them are really good and original ! 
reportRecommended by Inari-sensei
Both series deal with characters that have similar "jobs" to do quests and go on adventure, apart from the similarities between the characters, parts of the story and action, they also share the same feeling when reading them.

Another typical shounen, with a boy Dai set on a quest to save the world. He meets lots of friends and enemies, learns magic and fighting skills. Nice read.
