Manga: Trigun Maximum
Same author, obviously. But aside from that, Blood Blockade Battlefront carries all of the frenetic action that you loved in Trigun Maximum, but pushes beyond the bounds you thought impregnable in terms of visual absurdity. Every page is Nightow having a field day with really fun and abstract settings, characters, and demon designs It's also got the good ol' Trigun sense of humor going for it. The Dark Horse releases are also far more legible than their translations of TriMax. You should get them!

Manga: Bungou Stray Dogs
Kekkai Sensen and Bungou Stray Dogs adapts a story with supernatural elements in a urban setting. The main male character gets involved with others with powerful abilities and tackle on various cases. There's a good degree amount of mystery especially surrounding the origins of both series' setting, character backgrounds, and powers. Relationship building also becomes evident when we see how they develop over time. Recommended for fans that are interested in some classic supernatural fiction.

Manga: Trigun
Both are made by the same author Nightow. Both of them have uniquely zany characters and humor with a sci-fi setting. Both of the main characters Vash and Leo are kind-hearted although I'd probably compare Klaus as the Vash "equivalent" since he's the strong unwavering character like Vash. Although there isn't much of a solid plot yet in Kekkai Sensen, if you are a fan of Nightow his way of story telling alone should be enough to make one enjoy this series.

Manga: Dorohedoro
The two possess similar analogous setting where its normal, for example, in dorohedoro, the setting is a dark, gritty disorderly district where killing is an ordinary occurrence! In kekkai sensen, its more chaotic because you see explosion, accidents and all weird creatures! The characters in both series have unique personalities and shares the strong chemistry to the group. I definitely recommend dorohedoro if you like kekkai sensen

Manga: Tougen Anki
this is a mix of kekkai sensen (blood battle blockade), blue exorcist, and jjk in my opinion. the obvious point is they fight with blood in both series, but tougen anki fleshes it out far more into a shounen-like plotline, aka the 'chosen one but they didn't find out until their parental figure was on the verge of death or died' like ... jjk, blue exorcist, and quite literally most shounens. i enjoy the fantasy element, it doesn't have an intricate power system, it's easy to understand and remember. and the characters are good looking so that's a plus as well
