What im arguing about is not the "plot" but the events happening and characters appearing in the story that do not affect the overall "plot" which are very similar and absoultely comparable.

Oh and if were gonna go with categories then according to onemanga:

KKOW: Action, Comedy, School Life, Shounen
Beelzebub: Action, Comedy, Supernatural, Shounen

Oh snap, 3 out of 4 is bad, eh?
KKOW has action? I wouldn't call that action by any stretch of the word. When Peter fights against the Chicken man in Family Guy is more worthy of the subtext of "Action".

How are the characters even comparable?

Main Protagonist:
Oga: Extremely Overpowered, Contracted with the future king of hell, seemingly evil but is actually a pretty nice guy.

Mitsusashi: King of cheap shots, maniacal egomaniac, would use his own mother as a human shield.

Side Kicks:
Furichi: A coward, weak, and a womanizer.

Itou: Brave, honest, capable in a street fight, an overall popular and nice guy.

Female leads:
Aoi and Hilda: Aoi, very strong and capable, was once the leader of a female gang but gave it up to pursuit Oga. Very Moe, shy, and obedient when it comes to Oga. Hilda is a demon with extremely powerful sword skills with summoning abilities. Personality is very straight forward and seemingly cold. Has motherlike qualities when with Baby B.

Riko: Strong, but will lose in a serious fight against a strong man. Loud/foul mouthed, quick to the punch, lacks overall feminine qualities.

Every opponent in KKOW are generic delinquents, easily forgettable. The only reoccurring one is Imai and his lackey, which only exist for the sake of comedic relief. The only non generic opponent so far is the red head kid. But now that he got his ass kicked he's gone now.

In Beelzebub all of Oga's opponents actually have a name and unique personalities who doesn't disappear after getting their ass kicked. In fact are now allies of Oga.
