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. 

reportRecommended by Downgrade355

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) 

reportRecommended by Voriukas159

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.  

reportRecommended by Jasteraz

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. 

reportRecommended by Mad-Clown

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 in practising a boxing movement and repeating it 2500 times a day for 2 years. Bullying did Kamishiro a monster inside and when he's strong enough, he is shown merciless.

I think Holyland is way better than The Breaker, but it's up to you. So, if you liked The Breaker, try Holyland. read more

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.

Both are about a boy that gets bullied and tries to overcome bullies by studying martial arts. Both of them are trained in several martial arts. They both have spirit, and don't give up easily. The Breaker is seinen, HSDK is shounen.

GTO addpermalink

More in-line with plagiarism than a show of respect, the beginnings of The Breaker cannot but help one think of GTO/Onizuka. A new badarse teacher starts teaching at a school, bumps into a bullied kid, has to save him from jumping off the school roof and - of course - tries to get it on with a hot female teacher. If not for the art being so fantastic and GTO being equally fantastic, I'm sure this issue would be touched upon more than it has been.

Awhile after its GTO-theft introduction period, it does go off in its own martial arts / The Karate Kid direction. However, it completely goes to shit once the martial arts elite nonsense takes over completely, late on; becoming a subpar shounen fighting manga with A++++ art. read more

Girls of the Wild's addpermalink

A series about fighting and martial arts. The Breaker and Girls of the Wild's explore the development of a main male character as he realizes his life changes forever after one faithful day. And in his new lifestyle, the main main male character must learn skills in order to defend himself. There are many characters in both series with techniques and serves as challenges for the MC. Throughout their perspective stories, romance also becomes a sub-plot as the MC impresses certain female characters. I recommend both series for anyone interested in a medium involving high paced action and a story of integrity.

Tokyo Ghoul addpermalink

Both of these manga involved the main protagonist who were once normal people without any super-natural power. 
That however changed and now they're introduce to a brand new environment and must adapt quickly. Both had some sort of guidance to help them into the world and to teach them how to fight in this new world which are divided by 2 beings.
In the breaker the 2 different beings do not collide because 1 side stops themselves from doing so, however in tokyo ghoul they're fighting eachother at the sametime fighting their own kind.

Both protagonist were weak at first, however as the story progress they power-up and when angered a burst of strength will ignite to defeat the opponent. 
Tokyo ghoul howerver is darker than the breaker as well shows much more gore.

If you enjoy one, you'll likely to enjoy the other.

Sun-Ken Rock addpermalink

Although following different premises, both series involves gangs and yakuza. There is a noticeable amount of violent present in both series' storyline to illustrate the brutality of characters' behaviors. The MC gets themselves involved in an event that changes their lives forever. Throughout the course of both series, they also develop relationships with other characters but also faces powerful adversaries. Danger awaits in the lives as they get involved with dangerous conflict. Recommended for a mature audience interested in action/seinen.

The Breaker and Hajime no Ippo takes a main character who essentially starts out as an Average Joe but presents them with opportunities to challenge themselves. Chronicling their journey, we get a guy who defies odds and makes a name in their world. Throughout both series, they face off against powerful adversaries that truly tests the limits of their abilities. At the same time, they form relationships with others with a variety of feelings ranging from rivalries, antagonistic, brotherly, and even romantic. Both series can be described as an action packed tale to tell.

Beelzebub addpermalink

If you seek action, then both The Breaker and Beelzebub should definitely be considered for their similarities in fighting around the school neighborhood.

The main characters from both series have a hotblooded attitude and often tries to resolve problems with violence. However, they are also caring about their family and friends. Throughout both series, they make new friends but also powerful foes that tests their abilities.

There is decent amount of drama and comedy. The Breaker has a more serious tone and more violence along with romance while Beelzebub maintains mostly a lighthearted tone. However, both series has a sense of fighting spirit involving its story.

Manga: Karate Shoukoushi Kohinata Minoru

Karate Shoukoushi Kohinata Minoru addpermalink

They are similar in the sense that there are pros, but they are training someone to become even better - and they both look really cool because they have to put in a lot of effort to improve.  It's about having a good fighting spirit and not being cold blooded.  The senseis in both are untouchable (almost).  In The Breaker the main kid is brought in to karate from scratch.. worthless..weak pathetic..scratch.  He grows a backbone and becomes admirable.  In Karate..blah blah..the main kid is already a gymnast so he's got the phyique and a lot of technique that he builds off - he's not a fighter in the beginning.. but he's not that weak either.   The breaker takes you into a world of underground fighting factions in a more adult world, while the karate one is a school related one that deals with other clubs. read more

Both main characters want to get stronger to protect the weak. Both also learn and practice martial arts that are fast, strong, and mysterious. While the fights in both are violent due to the unrealistic power of their martial arts they practice, everything else in both series is grounded in reality. The setting of both are around high school and the dirty seedy side of the criminal underground.

Rebirth Knight addpermalink

Despite following different premises, there's an instinctive similarity between these two series. The main male protagonist gets himself into a complex situation that tests his skills to the limit. And as such, both series focuses on their development in a story of testing his wit. There is a romance sub-plot in both series although Rebirth Knight portrays it in a more casual manner. Both series also has a lot of action supplemented by its colorful cast of characters.

Subaru addpermalink

Dance! Subaru isn't a martial arts manga but it does have other things in common with The Breaker that make it a perfect fit for an unconventional recommendation! 
For one thing there's the art, the art of both The Breaker and Subaru is unusual, (some would call it classic or old fashioned some would call it weird) but both of the art styles are skillfully used to properly build up to amazing moments or panels that stand out and thrill the reader. Really special art moments.

Also the main characters of both mangas dive into a world that most people don't inhabit, for Shioon it's the world of martial arts and the murim, for Subaru it's the weird world of dance. Both characters start out with something special about them that charges their growth, and honestly let's be real it's so much fun reading characters who are awesome at things! But it never goes so OP as to be lame or ridiculous. 
Both mangas have funny moments interspersed with tragedy and tension and drama! Conflict and the feeling of being different to everyone else in the world. While Shioon is probably more likeable than Subaru, after a while you can't help but come to adore that selfish side of her too. Subaru is someone who denies herself nothing, and that's part of what makes her so cool. read more

Ultimate Outcast addpermalink

While both of these series are korean manghwa that deal with a murim tier secret society and advanced martial arts dynamics, one thing that sets Ultimate Outcase apart from The Breaker is the fact that Ultimate Outcast leans very heavily into the school bullying aspect that The Breaker eventually broke away from, more a more grand story. 

If you liked early Breaker and the school settings and martial arts fights between the bullies and the bullied, you will enjoy Ultimate Outcast

These are both tales of weak buys who are introduced to a whole new world to them and are harried by tough enemies the whole way through and they adapt to protect the ones they love and become ultimate bad asses

The Breaker is more focused on the fighting, getting stronger, and secret society. While Rosario Vampire is more focused on the relationship between the main characters and trying to unify human and monster society. 

Both main characters are altruistic heroes who care about the safety of others before themselves and will put their life on the line to protect the ones they love. They also share the fact that they are willing to befriend their enemies. Both have people who tried to hurt or kill them eventually ending up on their side due to the virtue of the main character's goodness and ideals. read more

Over Drive addpermalink

Over Drive and The Breaker have similar types of main characters. Within each series, we're introduced to two weak, abused, manly-heart individuals that struggle out of their lowly positions with determination and effort, eventually making big names of themselves.

Over Drive is extremely unique in its emphasis on professional biking. There is a clear sports-focus for sports fan while it also shows off hints of romance and comedy.  The Breaker is based on martial arts, but it is more so supernatural/action oriented than an indepth sports commentary.

While Ruler of the Land is set in the past while The Breaker is set up in Modern society, both share a couple similarities. Both main characters start off knowing almost no Martial Arts however improve at a very rapid pace although the reason why is for different reasons (both why they improve so fast and why they started from knowing none). Also both involve the "Murim" or martial arts world, and therefore deal with strifes between different Martial Arts Clans. It should be noted however that while both are usually pretty serious during fights, Ruler of the Land has many more comedic moments due to the fact that the main protagonists are nothing alike. read more
