Peaceful manga about an older gentleman taking a walk and about the scenery and people that are part of the town.

Slice of Life manga about an older man and his walks - and various situations he encounters during such walks.

Same author. Taniguchi Jiro made perfect example of "slice of life" manga - slow paced stories with unique atmosphere. Both are meant for mature readers. 
reportRecommended by Gokudo-kun
Both are excellent examples of slice-of-life done well. Gentle storytelling, combined with minimal dialogue (allowing the pictures to tell the story), pictures that do indeed paint a 1000 words and an overwhelming sense of peace and harmony, make these a delight to read. The Walking Man has the advantage that it does not have the same gentle melancholy that YKK has, making it a more uplifting read that reminds us all the we need to stop and smell the flowers more often.

Manga about older men for older man, these stories charmingly show people and their stories as the protagonist marches through his life.

Both are slice of life manga written by Jiro Taniguchi. They have simple stories taken from everyday life, but full of emotional moments. In both manga, the main characters try to enjoy life to the fullest by living every moment of it.

Both manga show philosophical thoughts through wanderlust and doing mundane things

Both are about strolling through the city in order to find the best looking spots and taking the time to find beauty in your surrounding environment. They feature very short chapters and a special care taken on realism and producing a soothing effect on the mind.

Slice of life titles that live for idyllic scenery.

The Walking Man and Yama E Iku (in the Anywhere But Here anthology) are extremely similar to one another. Nothing ground breaking happens, but a man just walks around, and takes in the beauty of nature around him. It's about simple things. 
reportRecommended by tlne
Both manga have protagonists that do plenty of walking on their free time. The Walking Man could be summed up as "stop and smell the roses" while BLAME! could be summed up as "stop and shoot the cyborg killing machines". 
reportRecommended by Yuunagi
Both deal with contemplation of simple things in life and taking pleasure by noticing them.
