Manga: Youkoso Jitsuryoku Shijou Shugi no Kyoushitsu e
The protagonist of these light novels is someone who appears/attempts to appear as someone uninteresting and normal, and they just want to live a "normal life" - while they are actually highly abnormal existences that often throw off the plans of others with their thinking.

Manga: Death Note Another Note: Los Angeles BB Renzoku Satsujin Jiken
Both novels are written by the same author (Nisioisin). They are also both murder mysteries.

Manga: Usotsuki Mii-kun to Kowareta Maa-chan: Totteoki no Uso
i-chan and mii-kun are both big fat liars, to the point that you can't even trust their narration of events... nonetheless that's what makes both all the more awesome. they both have a complex hate/love relationship with the heroines, who are both are bit wacky, though Maa-chan is way more psychotic in her weirdness. And last but not least, the past has turned them hollow, but they cover it up with a facade filled with lies

Manga: Gekkou
Both light novels contains romance, detective and psychological elements with apathetic main character, who meets many other unique persons ("Gekkou" especially similar to the second volume of "Zaregoto Series").

Manga: The ComiQ
Both have moments of suspense in them and are focused on a young cast as well too and both have a unique artstyle as well too.

Manga: Boogiepop Series
Kouhei Kadono's Boogiepop Series inspired many, one of them being Nisioisin– the writer of the popular Monogatari Series. Another one of his remarkable work is Zaregoto Series which is the most Boogiepop-like work of his that I've come across. It pays good tribute to this masterful novel with a number of references here and there, as well. An urban setting with a mix of sci-fi and supernatural mysteries unraveling as the stories progress while simultaneously building and exposing the interesting world around the characters. Engrossing and tasty narrative weaved through unreliable narrators. An interconnected storyline containing powerful encounters among the cast. I highly recommend checking them both out.

Manga: Kagen no Tsuki
Both are mystery themed stories share a supernatural element in it and a focus on what really cause the events to happen in the first place and a somber tone to it as well.

Manga: Katanagatari
Duo of protagonists - a highly intelligent girl and her "retainer", a man that doesn't have exactly normal personality and seems detached from the society. Both are also novels written by the same author, so if you like the writing stile of Nisioisin, you'll enjoy them.

Manga: Voynich Hotel
A bunch of weird characters meet up on a remote island. Zaregoto is a murder mystery light novel (available used on Amazon for $30) with much more depth. The Voynich Hotel also has a horror element too but it is more of a slice of life comedy about the occupants of the hotel.

Manga: Shindere Shoujo to Kodoku na Shinigami
Both talk about a bunch of people who can't leave an island. Murders occur on the island, and the main male lead is good at solving mysteries. 
reportRecommended by Silent_Chime
Manga: Monogatari Series: First Season
If you enjoy the avantguardish, dialogue heavy, unreliable narration style of NisiOisin's writing, featuring protagonist being surrounded by quirky people with unusual circumstances, these two are quite similar.
