I like to think of Psyren as the shonen-version of Gantz. both series involve a "game" with real lives at stake, set up by some mysterious person, while the main characters try to beat the game to win back their freedom or for other goals later realizing there´s more at stake
it has the same feeling to it

Psyren and Bleach are extremely similiar.

They both have the same kind of nice, unique art, also the "bad guys" in Psyren resemble the bad guys in Bleach.
Both are also Shonen Jump mangas with a lot of action and characters that travel between worlds fighting bad guys.
If you like Bleach, you'll love Psyren.
These two mangas share some aspects. For instance, they're both more mature in style, development and art than the typical shounen. Moreover: It's not set in a high school, where a girl blatantly moves into the protagonist home turning it into a harem/ecchi paradise. Hence, if you liked one of them, you'll probably enjoy the other as well.

Here too the protagonist is dragged into a brutal world, trying to survive and finding nakama to overcome it.
Both mangas are full of mystery and suspense. Fullmetal Alchemist provides both action-packed battles and an intricately woven mystery which is sure to keep you engaged and eager for the truth and what is to become of everyone. You will soon feel like your a part of the world and even shed tears of joy and sorrow with the characters.
Both innocent boys encounter a strange situation which leads them into another world. In that world, they both met a girl friend, and also, the world follows a rule, it's like a game.
Shounen action titles that revolve around a survival game in which characters have unique fighting styles and abilities.
Very similar feeling shounen series. Chances are if you enjoy one you'll like the other too.
Hunter x Hunter a story of a boy looking for his dad fallows hid dads footsteps becoming a hunter a job that gives people access to all sorts of government documents and restricted areas as well as free movement between country that rely on hunters for many jobs ranging from medical, warfare, zoology, ect and enters a game involving use of a power known as nen (chi, life force, psy) witch can heal or be used to amplify the body or materialize objects many fights occur and lots of training fun all around

Psyren is simular in that the characters find them selves in a "game" where psy powers awaken allowing them to enhance their fighting ability or heal or many other usefull things while searching to accomplish a goal that seems to have no end in sight but clues pop up here and there keeping you hooked on what might have happened
It is also about games, and have a terrible punishment for those who do not follow the game.
----------------------------
Também é sobre games, e trará uma punição terrivel para aqueles que não seguirem o jogo.
They are both shounen manga with a very well built universe and story and a more mature feel. The action is intertwined with the story development and explanations very well and even though at first glance you may say there are a lot of differences between the two (like setting, timeline, weapons, powers...), the feeling I got after reading Psyren is very similar to that from Claymore. They are well written and there is also a lot of consistency to the story in both of them, a characteristic which lacks from many other mangas. The fights are very entertaining and original and never boring. The characters are well developed (a bit more in Claymore) and diverse, they are intelligent and grow throughout the story, adapt well in new situations and don't usually make stupid mistakes. I honestly recommend anyone who likes Claymore to have a go at Psyren too, or vice versa. (recommendation after reading 110 Chs of Psyren and 105 Chs of Claymore)
It's almost too similar. Both shounens. Tons of relationships and emotional scenes. A lot of action. Psychic abilities.

Impt note: Both have light vs dark battles.
DcD not as apocalyptic as Psyren, but both have a tale of death and determination. Psychic abilities that shirk away from the norm. Both focused on different goals, but have a added bit of romance between the two main characters in the series. Psyren a bit more serious, Dcd more focused to find the renegade Psychic among their group who are killinh of members one by one.
Persona 4 and Psyren both contains a story revolving around different dimensions. These dimensions are the counterparts of the present world the characters live in. Although the story lines are different in two mangas, they follow similar concept. In addition, the "action", the fights and most of the violence takes place in the alterante dimensions in both series. The characters can be also related. The main characters in both stories are given power/connection to power by another person. As the story proceeds, more characters become aware of the alternative dimension in both mangas. Although they have similar ideas, their story lines are quite different from each other.
Psyren, just like :REverSAL itself, is a manga apparently inspired by Gantz. In both Psyren and :REverSAL people from the street find themselves fighting for their lives in missions happening in a strange version of our own world - be it the not-so-distant future or simply a mirror world. In both series the key to getting involved is technology (phones or game consoles). And in both series there might be more than meets the eye to the monsters that are being fought.
Yoshina Ageha is similar to Gangryong, the protagonist in Veritas. Veritas's special fighting styles is the KI (Martial Arts with special powers), while Psyren is PSI. But unlike Yoshina, Gangryong dreams of being the strongest because he is weak, and Yoshina dreams of saving the future. But I suspect in the future, these two protagonists will end up having the same dream: saving the future, since both mangas have evil people that wanted to rule the world.
Incredibly similar main male characters. Shounen. Both were in the main plot due to circumstances, not by personal choice. And tremendous growth at the end compared to the beginning.

Both have special powers.
in both mangas kids with special power fights for their surival
Both series takes place in another alternate world where strange technology is involved. At the same time, they meet a strange girl who is a beauty while forming a special bond with them.

Both series contain science fiction themes that explores technology beyond our times. There are antagonists that opposes the main characters and their friends but also a little mystery behind the scenes regarding them.

Both series employs action, drama, comedy, some emotions, and later on romance.

Both mangas have characters being thrown into a world where they have to fight animals and beast (Eden no Ori) / Tavoo (Psyren) to survive. Both are great manga.
Both will uncover great mysteries of the world/island they were thrown into, and realize they aren't so far away from home.
Though in Psyren , characters are able to achieve special powers.

Everyone should LOVE both!
Survival manga FTW~! <3
Antagonists hold a lot of power and the main characters have to oppose this massive force while trying to find out the truth behind everything that's happening and will happen while trying to keep it a secret from others.
Both give off the feeling of suspense and leave you impatient to know what will happen next.
Even though there's a difference in their storylines, both manga involve the traveling to an unknown future where peoeple have to face a whole bunch of adverse situations in order to survive.

both have a similar plot.
They are both similar in the context that they are trying to win their freedom. The characters are kind of similar as well.. caring for other people.. Both will pull you in as soon as you start reading it.. Shounen as well..


ENjoy!
Beelzebub was done by one of the assistants who worked on Psyren. So they both have very similar art work and both give the same sort of feeling in their own different way.
both about kids being transported to a post-apocalyptic future and fighting for their survival against mutants and monsters and how they can influence the past to change the future, but Drifting Classroom is much more realistic compared to Psyren.
The characters in both series are introduced to a familiar yet unfamiliar world in which they are granted abilities and insight which they would normally not have.
Both involve a protagonist gaining supernatural abilities - and a whole cast of allies and enemies to boot. Neither are the most original manga around, but they're fun reads nonetheless.
As well as Psyren as To Aru Majutsu no Index deal with teenagers getting in weird circumstances through new things, in this an unknown "nun"which suddenly hanged over the balcony, and in that one it's a card to use in phone cells. Sounds different? Well it is. BUT! Once they get to know in what situation they are in and in which one they could get in. They accept it and follow the path that is needed. Then some major battles involve, which share the same feeling, as well as the other characters they meet on their paths
Very similiar artstyle, also characters resemble eachother.
Both are action packed Shonen Jump series.
Both of these titles situate characters in a "game" with realistic consequences, both in the present and the future.
The similar is that both have psy powers and character development. Well Zero is more mature and a manhwa, but it is somewhat similar to Psyren.
Both involve traveling to a different world. Both have pretty good plots as well.
Both tell a tale of a post apocalyptic world, over shadowed by the dominate rule of an oppressive dark power. Both powers control immense supernatural power in which a normal such rebellion is impossible. The "Forces of Justice" also control some particularly unique powers of their own.
Boy find Mysterious Girl in trouble, fights in an alternate world based on our own with super powers, he gains a special power only he has. Special point based system, if you run out you cant return.

Ann Cassandra is a very short manga that utilizes two main characters' abilities to prevent the future, just like Psyren. However, Psyren eventually becomes more mainstream with battle scenes and powers and thus is longer, whereas Ann Cassandra is less so, completed, and simply documents the adventures in "breaking predictions." I would recommend Psyren or Ann Cassandra to someone who is interested in the characters' attempts to change the future.

Both mangas have a feeling of mystery, supernatural, action and adventure. Though the protagonists are very different, both still have that feeling of suspense.
