The main characters in both series are involved in taking requests and helping others out. Not only do they situate themselves in often comedic events, but also ones in which emotional threads are tugged.

Both of these titles share a similar aesthetic; particularly in regard to narrative structure and character design. Both are heavily constructed with comedy and action in mind.

These serialisations share the following: a variety of unique characters; comedic situations that result from random and exaggerated circumstances; and a stack of references and parodies.

One Punch-Man and Gintama combines elements of action, shounen, comedy, and all in general crazy fun to make a creative story. The main male protagonist also has a laid-back personality although they do take responsibility when the need calls for it. Both series has very catchy dialogues and character interactions that define the personalities of its cast. Action in both series are depicted with artistic movement and crafted with style. Recommended for any fan of shounen.

I love both series. They're both so funny, but can give you feels in a heartbeat. Most of, if not all, the characters are really lovable in both.

Grand Blue and Gintama are both over the top, comedy based, episodic series. Each features a small, yet diverse, cast of amusing characters taking part in a club/organization (Diving Club/Yorozuya Gin-Chan). Both, early on, have relatively minimal plot lines, focusing more on comedy than story. Both authors make use of intense facial expression within the series' humor.

Both have the same pattern of comedy and serious arcs . They also have similiar casts . The boss(Gintoki/Sakamoto) is older than your average protagonist, there is a serious boy (Shinpachi/Shin) and the chinese themed red head girl, who is physically strong and not that smart (Kagura/Lu) . Sakamoto days in general gives that early Gintama feel

Hinamatsuri and Gintama are known for their refreshing comedy and gags. Both series also adapts supernatural and fantasy elements that defies the laws of nature. The main characters in both series are also known for their diverse range of personalities. Plus, some of their episodic structure explores a variety of themes. Recommended for anyone who wants some fun sense of humor.

Gintama and Yankee-kun presents comedy with a lot of gimmicks with fun details. The main characters from both series gets involved with many bizarre events. Although their setting takes place in different timelines, both series cleverly uses them to their full advantage. There is also considerable amount of characterization as we learn about the people involved in their story. Recommended for anyone seeking for some laughter.

Ansatsu Kyoushitsu and Gintama has different premises but they have an ability to attract the readers with their appeal of humor. Both series' main male protagonists has strange habits that are very amusing to watch. Throughout the story, we learn more about them and the relationship connections they build with others. They also show phenomenal skills in certain fields that are beyond human comprehension. Both series are also known for their goofy dialogues but also accomplishes its goal to entertain. There are also serious moments with the overlay of their storytelling though.

If you're looking for more fourth wall breaking, look no further than Saiki Kusuo no Psi Nan, a series about a highschool student with every psychic power in the universe. It's even published in the same magazine (WSJ) as Gintama, and features hilarity that rivals the series (if not even more). Parodies of shonen tropes get no better than these two. Both have a colorful cast of memorable characters, and crude artwork which gets better over time.

100 girlfriends is pretty much just romcom Gintama

Two extremely funny manga's that show a likable, reckless, dense, and idiotic of a main character but at the end of the day always fights for what's right and the ones close to them. Both stories are more of a episodic feel not sticking to one story line, in which each chapter feels a lot more enjoyable then a regular developing plot. Both manga's have a awesome diversity of characters that can impact any reader in a positive way. 
reportRecommended by Obeythealfa
Both series has a stylistic way of storytelling and humor. In particular, we have a main male protagonist who we learn a lot about through his relationship with others in both series. There's also a variety of themes explored in both series with an intention to entertain and humor. It succeeds in doing both through its delivery of gags and conversations. In retrospect, I recommend both series for anyone who is interested in a series with refreshing humor.

Although the overall tone of the two are quite different, Gintama being a parody-gag manga and YQ more of your typical shonen fare, they share a lot of these deep character backstory arcs that are both action packed and heartwarming.
