Both of these seinen titles feature dark narratives involving adolescents and young adults. In Aku no Hana, it is prevalent from the start. In Oyasumi Punpun, the plot gradually takes a dark turn.
A relatively normal boy meets a slightly abnormal girl whose presence gradually causes him to become more corrupt.
While Punpun's depth and sense of realism is nowhere to be found in Aku no Hana, at their core they're somewhat similar. Each story features relatively unhappy people trying to live their lives the only way they can- even if it eventually has dire consequences for all involved.
Both got similar dark atmosphere. Relationships of main characters are weird and kinda erotic. Both are well drawn and you just can't stop reading them, wanting to know what will happen next with each chapter.
I recommend reading manga and i warn all of you who want to watch Aku No Hana anime version, just read the manga because you will ruin great story for yourself. The anime is so badly made, it's such a shame.

Both can be hilarious, dark, insightful, disturbing and lighthearted all at the same time. They're both slice of life about a naive character dealing with the world around him.
Both deal with individuals surrounded by people and situations that are rather psychologically twisted. Both contain very similar types of dark/morbid humor, and main characters with rather "lively" imaginations. The lead females (Aiko/Misaki) also have very similar issues and situations.

The two pieces are emotive in two particular ways: a coming-of-age realisation, and the development of relationships between friends. Both also feature great artwork and storytelling.
we were children, we were friends, we grew up then the fate separated us .. this is the idea of Oyasumi Punpun and 20th CB, Oyasumi Punpun is deeper for me and better,both have a time-skipping , If you liked 20thCB you won't miss Oyasumi Punpun

Authored by Inio Asano, both of these titles share his realistic approach to coming-of-age narratives.
Both written by Asano Inio, and both the most real manga I have ever read.

Both are bleak but occasionally uplifting stories about aging, loss, regret, dreams, romance, those kinds of things. Kurosawa and Punpun are pretty cynical works with some humour thrown in. It would seem that they have similar morales too.

These two manga's are drawn with realism and have a very depressing realistic take to them. Usually I enjoy literature that takes my mind of the bad but with these manga in paticular there is something about them no matter how depressing and shitty they make you feel you cant but them down. They are so intriguing and gripping. Very unquie and refreshingly differnt from other literature/manga Ive read. I recomend these two if you can handle context that can be dark and in need for something different.

Both are pretty depressing.
Nowhere Boy is about the world's unhappiest person. Winner of the game show "Welcome to Survival, 'I Am Unhappy,' he is granted one wish by god which is for the world to end.
Oyasumi Punpun is a coming of age that starts off with Punpun's father being arrested for beating his mother.

What punpun and hourou musuko have in common is that they both are about a group of children growing up, and coming of age. I felt like the atmosphere is very similar and the main characters often have their own side dialogue adding to the childhood ambiance. Where they differ, punpun, is a little more deeper (a bit darker), falling on more emotion and the mind of the child, not to mention the art is at times fairly abstract. Another point, the some adults in the story are depicted sometimes strangely, in similarly in charlie brown where the adults don't talk.

Same author, with similar slice of life and surreal moments. Both are depressing, intriguing and beautiful.

Both series focus on an adolescent male protagonist dealing with both the joys and agonies of growing up, and the mysteries of life and love.

For some reason when I started Annara, Oyasumi Punpun came to my mind immediately. They are dark, psychological and awesome masterpieces. I recommend both of them.
|
|

Later story arcs of Oyasumi Punpun is akin to that of the main plot of Himizu. Both feature very dark plot points that can psychologically distraught readers.

As kids get older, they often experience moments of emotional realisation - both good and bad. These two series highlight this; initially focusing on kids and later as their older counterparts.
|
|
|
Perhaps what is the most apparent similarity between these two series is that they both follow male kids who are subjected to rather mature events (or thoughts) due to the characters around them.

Very abstract and odd comedies that can be rather dark and insightful at times.

Both are beautiful coming-of-age stories that deal with two young males and their trials and issues in life. Both also deal with the same mature themes such as depression, sexual corruption, and loss of innocence. They also contain cynical and sometimes surreal humor along with a story that gradually becomes more dark and emotional as it progresses.

In both manga the main characters are kind of pathetic and still struggle to "find themselves" and have a sort of unrequited or suffering from heartbreak. Both also utilizes a lot of dark humour and tragedy.
