A rural schoolboy with a lot of pent-up feelings and an identity crisis meets a mentally unstable girl who becomes a catalyst for his self-destructive unraveling. What Boy's Abyss lacks in nuance compared to Flowers of Evil, it makes up in sheer tragedy.

These two manga tell stories whose one of the main themes is a toxic relationship between abusive mother and son abused by her. They also are full of elements related to psychology and sociology. Their art style is realistic, with a lot of detailed close-ups, allowing readers to experience the story without only relying on dialogues ("show, don't tell" narrative technique).

Both of these manga focus on extremely melodramatic personal dramas that are full of angst, edge, sex and other equally shallow and pointless themes all in an effort to be deep and thought provoking in some way shape or form

Both titles have protagonists with suicidal tendencies with complex romantic relationships. While Yukionna to Kani wo Kuu mostly revolves around the protagonist and Ayame, Shounen no Abyss has love polygon.

They both involve dark psychological premise while they both touch on adult concepts and seem harmless at first oshi no ko uses idols as a base premise while shounen no abyss feels like a more mature and serious series dealing with some very real and down to earth problems while still feeling impactful and real to the reader.

Everyone is miserable, there are no good parents, you will cringe at what the characters have to go through, but you won't be able to stop reading either. Morbidly enthralling manga with fantastic art.

Even though, henshin is more focused on the sexual side of things, the story still does focus around the more darker side of growing up in the formative years.

-Similar dark and at times hopeless atmosphere -Psychological and existential, with a lot of depressing themes -Consistently explaining motivations behind everyone's action without imposing generic set of morals -Similar art -Similar protagonists (If you ever happened to read these two at the same time you'd see many parallels between Denji and Reiji: Besides being blonde, frail , depressed 17-year olds finding themselves in hopeless circumstances, and with bleak outlooks in future, they are susceptible to influences of others and some of the main part of plot progression is them being taken advantage of/toyed by manipulative people, who happen to be female villain-protagonists -Same "hot_garbage_dumpster_fire_I_wonder_what_is_going_to_happen_next" factor Those who enjoyed one  read more

Gives Same vibes Storys are a Bit the Same Both have good Art and story

The lovers in the abyss, or lover's abyss is, maybe a more optimistic story than boy's abyss but it is still incredible 
reportRecommended by Toko_Loko
Both are depressing works that primarily feature mental health issues, psychological scars, and interpersonal relationships at the forefront.  
reportRecommended by donut_jelly
Both stories have the same mature theme involved in them. They go pretty deep into the psychological genre and the protagonist both go through some sort of past trauma.

A teenage boy who wants to commit suicide with an idol who has put his career on hold. 
reportRecommended by Too_Pac
Asako is a very good manga. It depicts a relationship between a younger boy and an old woman. It is set in a rural small town with dysfunctional families, secrets. Although it is not as dark as Boy's Abyss, at least not yet.  
reportRecommended by foxhunt99
Both are similar where there's a dark atmosphere surrounding the suicidal protagonists that takes place in the country side of Japan. If you love the dark tone in one, you will love the similar dark tone in the other. 
reportRecommended by HaruLite
Both are apathetic stories about messed up psyche and how vile can be the things we do to each other. Shounen no Abyss is more about psychological torture and Juujika no Rokunin about physical, but both are so sick you just have to know what happens next. 
reportRecommended by Trivialmadness
These 2 mangas provide a very similar atmosphere. Just like in Ningen Shikkaku, depression, suicide and nihilism is central to Boy's Abyss. To whoever felt captivated by this manga, I highly recommend it.

Both stories involves domestic abuse, complex relationships, and sexual relationships with minors to some extent. 
reportRecommended by cinnamoncider
Both titles involves complex love stories with a dark tone. Though sexual depiction occurs more frequently on Umibe no Onnanoko. 
reportRecommended by cinnamoncider
Shounen no Abyss is way darker than Instant bullet i think,in term of people But in both these manga everyone has problems,sad or depressed...anger and problems etc. 
reportRecommended by ThatDeadMikey
Both involve misanthropy, dark subject matter, death (suicide), and good art. It focuses a lot on human interactions. They also both have an adult and a teenager with a complicated relationship.

Thou shall not leave the town. 
reportRecommended by nascarsayan
Both are soap opera/telenovela dumpster fires where everything is so melodramatic and depressing, yet you can’t help but read it. The characters aren’t very mentally healthy and the love story is bleak. Makes for an emotionally taxing read, unless you find humor in its absurdity. 
reportRecommended by Richard-Pham
A rural town where people lead a hamster-wheel existence. Alienated teenagers burdened with expectations. Failed adults feigning ignorance and keeping up the facade. Liars, criminals, abusers. A shared past tainted by tragedy. A beautiful scenery as a backdrop for poetic death... Or maybe not so poetic after all. Nijigahara Holograph is for the subtle elegance. Boy's Abyss is for the relentless existential dread. 
reportRecommended by moozooh
Both are series I wouldn't recommend lightly to anyone even though they are thought-provoking and enjoyable in a painful way. Psychologically disturbing hard-to-read stories, where nastiness creeps from mental problems and society's custom to stay silent and keep pretending everything's fine. 
reportRecommended by Trivialmadness
Both psychological thriller/drama set in a small, suffocating town where the reserved protagonist encounter a mysterious being that lunges him on the balance of love and madness. Main difference is that Shounen no Abyss has more romance and drama focused scenes, while Hikaru ga Shinda Natsu is more thriller and horror focused.

Both stories are focused around the darker and more downbeat and somber side of growing up as a kid in their formative years.
