First of all would be Jujutsu kaisen. It is about the curse's energy derived from negative emotions such as fear, anger and hatred and resulting in the birth of curses/noroi, a race of spiritual beings whose primary desire is to bring harm to humanity. They are shown as gruesome monsters, ghosts and yokai/ demons.
Jujutsu sorcerers or shamans are the people who have the power to control the flow of cursed energy and use it against those beings. The main character is Itadori Yoji, an orphan who accidentally swallows part of the body of sukuna. The strongest curse ever or the main villain throughout the series.
Next, Kimetsu no yaiba/ Demon Slayer, with Taisho era as the background story, there is a secret society called demon slayers who have fought against demons for centuries. The demons themselves are former humans who were turned into demons by Muzan Kibutsuji as the main villain with his blood. The characteristic of the demon who can't stand the sunlight with red eyes is pretty similar to vampire, although they don't just drink blood but consume human flesh too.They were insanely strong with their blood demon art and are able to regenerate unless being decapitated by special weapons from nichirin. The demon slayers themselves are ordinary humans however they have special breathing style techniques to use to battle those demons. The main character is Kamado Tanjiro, who has only one purpose when he joins the demon slayer corps, which is to kill muzan and help his sister Nezuko find the cure to make her back as ordinary human instead of a devil as she is.
The last one is Chainsaw Man.
The story is set in a world where devils/akuma are born from human fears ( ring a bell?) It also borrowed from a religious story about the 4 horsemen, and all the human disasters from war, weapons and illness. Humans who want to use the devil's power, will make contracts and sacrifice something from them to the devils. Basically to fight or kill devils they use other devil's power as devil hunters. The chainsaw devil is one of the strongest devil who can consume other devil and prevent it from reincarnate back to life. The main character, denji who is supposed to be dead but back to life after pochita the chainsaw devil, albeit the strongest devil lend his heart to him.
Similarities: demons/devils, special force to fight against it, ordinary human vs immortal devils, orphan main characters, mc's sad life background, they don't really show special talent in the beginning just a strong will and hardwork. Always have a black haired sidekicks.and most of all, the main problem is from humans themselves as the main source of the problem itself and the beginning of everything.
