First, to clarify I'll be comparing Let's Fight Ghost with Tokyo Babylon (manga) by CLAMP and its spin-off/live action Tokyo Babylon 1999 because some things what I will point are mostly present on the comic, so I highly recommend reading it!!

So, what is similar? To start, all the issue about doing exorcism. TB's main character is an onmyoji (basically a Japanese medium) who is called/contracted to get rid of spirits, just like in the Thai series.

As in the series, both tries to show us the past of each ghost, the reason behind their death, why they cannot get reincarnated and so on. In the case of Let's Fight Ghost, it is pure comedy basically but in the manga, even if there are touches of humour, it's more tragedy and social commentary.

Another important point, the big parallelism between Dr. Jade and Seishiro Sakurazuka is incredible, I was not expecting that at all. To avoid spoilers, I will only say both are apparently perfect and kind vets who indeed are not what they look being and are related to magical/paranormal stuff. I wonder if there was some kind of inspiration, I'm really speechless.
