The Breaker

Both are about martial arts, and a weak protagonist who's being bullied, but then starts getting stronger and stronger and deals with his own crap, Holyland is a bit more realistic and believable.

There are a lot of fighting done around the neighborhood of the school. You can get the sense of fighting spirit and the epic feeling known as never-give-up in Beelzebub and Holyland.
Beelzebub is more comedic in that being a shounen, you never forget the aura of invincibility on MC's head. Holyland is more tragic, in the sense that MC is not invincible and often lose to people with superior skills.

Weak main charachter who becomes someone known and amazing (And scary at some time) the manga sents shivers down your spine at some points (The Breaker still better)

Both started as weak, but shit, this ain't no ordinary Shounen MC that needs to go through a lot just to get strong. This people started as a beast, inside that beast lies another monster, BOOM. P.S you'll only be seeing enemies getting trashed.
both have a protagonist who are wimpy but after getting introduced to the world of martial arts they began to find changes in them selfs.
a difference is hat holyland has a much more realistic story.
If you like The Breaker, maybe you'll find Holyland interesting, but I won't say the same if it's upside down. While The Breaker is a story about martial arts close to super-powers surrounded by a mafia ambientation, Holyland is more like a deep human exploration, where the main character gets close to madness and rebuilds himself by being strong and being brave enough to face his fear.
Yi Shioon and Kamishiro are somehow similar looking characters but I found Kamishiro to be way better constructed. While Yi Shioon is a weak teenager with the only desire of protect what he more loves, Kamishiro only found relief

If you love martial arts and street fighting, both of them are great reads in the genre. The MCs are also similar, they start as a weak and slowly develop into a badass fighter.
