Both manga are set in a period when samurai were still active in Japan. Both also deal with the changes in the samurai world when Japan started to open up to the Western civilization. And, of course, both manga tell the story of a rounin searching for redemption.
Both are about a swordsman going on a journey to pursue their respective goals but they've both come across someone who've later become close to them. Both series also feature an antagonistic group who seek to destroy a certain establishment. If you've enjoyed Rurouni Kenshin then you'll most likely enjoy Blade of the Immortal (and vice versa).

The premise of both series is a man who wants to atone for the sins/crimes he has committed. Of course, there is way more to the stories of both mangas than that which I don't want to spoil. They also both have a historical backdrop and are of similar length. The main leads of both mangas (Kenshin/Manji) I find very likeable and well done, as well as both female leads (Kaoru/Rin). Both supporting casts are great and contain very memorable characters. The villains that appear throughout both series have a sense of moral ambiguity to them to the point that 'villain' isn't a fitting word
