Both series are relentlessly gory action-series that pit humans in an underdog position against a race of incredibly powerful creatures who are out for human flesh. 

reportRecommended by Uriel1988

Although Claymore is not set during a time period where humans are driven to the brink of extinction by unknown monsters, this manga nevertheless shares some characteristics with Shingeki no Kyojin, a currently rising and largely promising manga: barren rock background, focus on the quality of story rather than art, and the fact that their respective monsters can not be killed using normal human means. While reading Shingeki no Kyojin, I was reminded of Claymore some times, perhaps owing to the potentially gory nature of the monsters' killings.

Both of the series have similar artwork; dark, rougher with panel composition that isn't typically seen in shonen manga but seinen itself.

Much like Claymore, Shingeki no Kyojin finds itself on the border of the shonen/seinen genres by being a dark fantasy story which doesn't shy away from multiple deaths, limb loss and gore.

Both series takes place in a medieval like world where there is hell and chaos. That chaos and hell are caused by the monsters that resides in both series.

There are resistance against the monsters in both series who tries to eradicate and contain the threat. In fact, the main male and female protagonists from both series are part of such an organization to deal with the threat.

Both series contains graphic violence as well as shounen like battles. They also enforces some psychological and thriller like endings.

In the very first volume of the Shingeki no Kyojin manga, there's an interview with Hajime Isayama and his editor featured as a bonus. Isayama says Kentaro Miura is one of the mangaka he respects. As a fan of both authors and their work, I was pleasantly surprised, because I've always thought these manga to be extremely compatible. Both manga have an engrossing, medieval, dark fantasy setting with a lot of gore, although Berserk is a seinen so it's definitely not for the faint of heart. That isn't to say that Shingeki no Kyojin doesn't have its fair share of gore. However, the gore isn't only for shock value, but it also effectively conveys what the author wants the reader to get out of the world they have created. Both manga tell mature tales and feature brilliant storytelling. They both feature an incredible cast of characters, with damn cool character designs! The artwork for both manga is simply amazing. Berserk's art is phenomenal from the beginning of the Golden Age arc— although Isayama's art improves a lot in later volumes. One could say a similarity between both manga is that the art improves over time. Overall, if you are a fan of one of these manga, you are pretty much guaranteed to love the other. These are my two favorite manga, so what do I know. read more

What connects Gantz and Shingeki is their equally brutal, unflinching violence. Gantz offers 'guilty pleasure' elements (namely, huge boobies) not present in Shingeki, but in both titles characters are introduced and then, without warning, murdered in graphic detail. The intensity level of two is high enough to keep one on the edge of their seat throughout.

If the games from Gantz excited you, then the giants raiding the last home of humanity - and ripping humans apart like toys - would also excite you. The quality characterization in the two makes it impossible not to care.

There's also alot of mystery to both worlds including the enemies they both fight. In the case of Gantz, no one knows what Gantz truly is or why these creatures are attacking them.

-In both stories, humanity trys to defend itself from getting eaten by mysterious, creepy creatures that feed on human flesh.

-The walls in Attack on Titan isolate everyone from the rest of the world. Ghouls are only in Tokyo, Japan (I might be wrong) which isolates Tokyo from the rest of Japan and the world with dealing with ghouls.
- Eren and Kaneki lose their fathers and mothers at a young age.

-Eren and Kaneki are able to become the monsters they fear/hate the most.

- Eren and Kaneki both accept they are Titan and Ghoul and defeat Jason and Annie. Kaneki eats Jason and Eren tears open Annie's neck, almost devouring her.

-They both have dedication to protect the people they care about.

-Both of them have a sad, dark childhood. Kaneki was mentally and physically abused by his mother and Eren brutally killed two kidnappers, saving Mikasa.
MIKASA AND TOUKA :
-Both badass and brave and they are not afraid of making difficult choices.

-They are both strong and decently powerful

-Both are serious and don't usually smile alot

-Both are feared

-Mikasa cares for Eren in a big sister way but actually has feelings for him. Touka acts like a mean, stubborn friend who might have feelings for Kaneki.

-Mikasa made Eren eat bread by shoving it into his mouth and Touka made Kaneki eat human flesh by shoving it into his mouth.
ARMIN AND HIDE:

A cruel world. An unfair world. A diverse world. Why is the world so unjust? Why is it that we need to face hardships over and over and over? These two manga, Shingeki no Kyojin (AoT) and Tokyo Ghoul explore just that. Without knowing the cruelty of the world with their own hands, the main characters (Kaneki Ken and Eren Yeager) are oblivious to the problems of the world. If you need something with an amazing plot and a dark question underlaying it to puzzle yourself over, what you are about to read is going to be perfect for you. I guarantee it.

If you like dark stories, politics, action, realistic characters, lot's of deaths, and psychological themes both do this well. Shingeki no Kyojin is the kind of story that brings you down with it's messages, not without hope but not optimistic either. Chainsaw man's fundamental message is simple, accessible, powerful, and uplifting.

CSM is a great dark shonen that follows SNK in terms of violence, battles, suspense, mystery, and approach of complex characters with traumas, anxieties, and desires. You really get hooked on the first chapters and you feel that the story becomes more and more intense, so it’s hard not to want to read it quickly. Similarly, the death of characters is suffered a lot. I love both aesthetics and particular designs, they are very attractive, as well as the characters and their respective stories and personalities, without forgetting the amazingly drawn fights and action sequences. CSM is more comical, so the sudden death of a character perhaps delivers a more aggressive pain-in-the-gut feeling instead of SNK, which does it as slow-paced suffering that lasts longer. read more

The last of humanity fighting a mysterious enemy. Sidonia's story is paced better/faster than Titan and introduces new plot points regularly to keep you interested. Sidonia is like Titan in space with mechs and a stronger plot and characters. I feel like Sidonia accomplishes what Titan is trying to do much better.

It is a time where the human race is being exterminated and hunted by dreadful abominations. The final bastions of humanity stand up to make their last desperate fight for their survival. The difference between Shingeki and Sidonia is that the former is set in a medieval fantasy world in a fight against Giants, while the latter is a fight against aliens called Gauna (with amazing regenerative abilities) in outer space. 

reportRecommended by Hattori_Hanzo

The fight for survival begins! Shingeki no Kyojin (Attack on Titan) and Sidonia no Kishi (Knights of Sidonia) both deals with a setting in which humanity is being threatened by an entity capable of wiping them from existence forever.

The mysterious enemies involved in both series are aggressive and attacks humanity with no warning on various occasions. As such, resistance is formed as humanity takes a stand against this mysterious enemy. It's a fight to survive. 

reportRecommended by Stark700

- Both have a monster enemy (Titans in Shingeki no Kyojin and Guana in Sidonia)
- Both have certain weaponry used to combat these enemies (3MDG in Shingeki no Kyojin and mechs in Sidonia)
- Both have humanity pretty much driven into a corner as an effect of the monsters being hard to kill. In Shingeki no Kyojin humans are behind the Walls and in Sidonia there is a ship which wanders through space.
- Both of them have protagonists who initially act outside of orders but get better about listening as the story progresses.
- Differences are that Shingeki no Kyojin is just on the Earth in a sort of pseudo-medievalish/1800s type setting while Sidonia is sci-fi in space. read more

Both manga have a post-apocalyptic setting where the human race is on the brink of extinction and is under attack by an unknown destructive species that are shrouded in mystery. Sidonia no kishi is a lot more straight forward than Attack on Titan and just passes by as a sci-fi action manga with fast paced battles. In contrast, Attack on Titan tries to be a little more psychological, mysterious and has more focus on world building but still retains the hectic action similar to Sidonia. Although both don't focus on characterization, the cast of Attack on Titan is a little more fleshed out than the one in Sidonia but characters are not the strong point of both of these manga's. If you liked one of them for the hopeless post-apocalyptic setting and action, there is a high chance you will like the other also for the setting and action  read more

-In both stories, humanity trys to defend itself from getting eaten by mysterious, creepy creatures that feed on human flesh.

-The walls in Attack on Titan isolate everyone from the rest of the world. Ghouls are only in Tokyo, Japan (I might be wrong) which isolates Tokyo from the rest of Japan and the world with dealing with ghouls.
- Eren and Kaneki lose their fathers and mothers at a young age.

-Eren and Kaneki are able to become the monsters they fear/hate the most.

- Eren and Kaneki both accept they are Titan and Ghoul and defeat Jason and Annie. Kaneki eats Jason and Eren tears open Annie's neck, almost devouring her.

-They both have dedication to protect the people they care about.

-Both of them have a sad, dark childhood. Kaneki was mentally and physically abused by his mother and Eren brutally killed two kidnappers, saving Mikasa.
MIKASA AND TOUKA :
-Both badass and brave and they are not afraid of making difficult choices.

-They are both strong and decently powerful

-Both are serious and don't usually smile alot

-Both are feared

-Mikasa cares for Eren in a big sister way but actually has feelings for him. Touka acts like a mean, stubborn friend who might have feelings for Kaneki.

-Mikasa made Eren eat bread by shoving it into his mouth and Touka made Kaneki eat human flesh by shoving it into his mouth.
ARMIN AND HIDE:
-Both are friends of the main, male protagonist

-Both seem useless at first but Armin turns out to be a good strategist and tactician and Hide is able to work his way into the CCG to locate and see Kaneki.

JUUZOU AND HANJI :
SIMILARITIES:

-Both are crazy, wild and free spirited but can be serious when they need to be.

-Both fight for the sake of humanity

-Both are trap characters due to the fact that when Juuzou was introduced, he looked like a girl who turned out to be a boy and Hanji (in the manga) seems like a girl but could be a guy. read more

Black Bullet addpermalink

Both talks about how the remaining of humanity walled/barricade themselves in area(s) to prevent themselves from extinction. For Shingeki no Kyojin, MOST of humanity lived in an enormous area, barricaded by three circular walls. For Black Bullet, survivors of humanity barricade themselves in several surviving countries through the help of monoliths in a circular motion.

Both talks about how an unknown enemy threatens their existence. For Shingeki no Kyojin, it's about the Titans, which is considerably taller than them (3m-60m) that may intrude the walls whereas for Black Bullet, several monsters known as "Gastreas" may sneak into the area protected by the monoliths (to keep them away from the protected areas)

Both explains the fact where the protagonists need to retrieve something that could potentially unlock the secret to saving humanity and eliminating the threat of the enemies.

However, the behaviour of the protagonists are vastly different. In Shingeki no Kyojin, we've a hot-headed and impatient fool known as Eren while in Black Bullet, we've a slightly more cooler and tactful man known as Rentaro. Also, their partners are different too. 

In short, if you've read Shingeki no Kyojin, Black Bullet is the closest resemblance to a modern "Shingeki no Kyojin" whereas if you've read Black Bullet, Shingeki no Kyojin is the closest resemblance to a middle-age "Black Bullet". w/e   read more

The main characters in both are a group of people who try to fight for survival against all odds and destroy all the monsters that 'took their freedom away from them'.

It captures some of the more complex themes of discrimination and pervasive racist policies that AoT tried to tinker with in its endgame, but the author of 86 knows what to do with it. 86 does also capture the early feel of AoT's fighting a seemingly endless number of mindless "monsters", the monsters in this case are rogue AI killing machines. Between the LN and Manga adaptations, the former is better in my opinion and there is more of it to consume legally outside Japan as it stands. The manga is a more than adequate as a substitute for the most part but it does lack the context prose of the novels it is based on and you will be waiting longer for content as it is currently behind even the anime adaptation for international consumption. read more

Dreadful reality. Elfen Lied and Attack on Titan both follow individuals who have to live the hard way with life gives to them, even if they never asked for it. All the more having one simple desire to strive for in the harsh nature of the world.

With Elfen Lied being about Lucy and her upbringing, along with her split mind, with Kouta, as she is hunted down for who she is. AOT being more drastic with humanity being slain by titans, with Eren only wanting to have his freedom back.

Both are good manga showing how hate within people can forever, whether it be by escaping reality or strengthening one. Both are also good action, though AOT has military elements, with Elfen Lied being a psychological horror.

Imo the most similar to ToG in terms of overall theme, narration, plot, and characters. 

Both have a relatively serious narration with a hint of humour. Started out with "lessons" but evolve into a story with much bigger, darker themes, and have a mix of wit and action for fights

Both have "Chosen MC" who gradually moulds into his role. Characters are often morally ambiguous, have diverse perspectives, backgrounds, and outlooks on life. Lack of female character sexualisation, both have strong female characters in powerful positions. 

** mild spoilers ** Uncovering past mysteries, toppling oppressive establishments, power struggles between different factions and wars. Both overarching story are well planned ahead and coherent, with some daily life but little "fillers"

Art started out... rather amateurish, but makes up with brilliant plot and improves tremendously over time
