Having read up to the most current issue of both, I have this to say: up to about the Kyoto arc, I think the argument can be made that YnM shares some similarities to X. Heck, Matsushita-sensei might have even been inspired to write this by TB. But a lot of mangaka read each other's work, and things like dark, twisted seme, blood, and ofuda are hardly the sole province of X or TB.

And now? The two series are completely different- could you really see Kamui or Subaru having the same kind of light-hearted adventures in the Shikigami realm if CLAMP was writing it? I think not ;).

They do share common aspects, yes, but I honestly think Mirage of Blaze is closer to TB than YnM is.
