Psyren

Gantz addpermalink

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

Good drawing, good story line. Similar to Gantz, they get teleported to a different world and have to fight unknown monsters 

reportRecommended by astro1848

Psyren resembles GANTZ only at the beginning of the series. People are sent somewhere unknown and have to fight for their lifes in order to end "the game". The art gap is huuuuuuge. But both series are amazing. 

reportRecommended by droolled

Though the settings and tone differ, the core of both stories and recurring events are really similar. Gantz, though, is much more mature (Gore, sexual themes, bloodier, and a lot grosser). 

reportRecommended by artist-retired

Psyren is Gantz for kiddies...  Main Character is used by some mysterious entity (Gantz-Gantz, and Psyren-Nemisis Q) and are warped to another... well place. They have to complete some sort of objective before thy can go home.The endings are different, but they both start out very similarly..

Both Gantz and Psyren involve a game were the prize is your life. Gantz is more brutal and more  for an older audience   

reportRecommended by TheBigOtaku122

Both have a plot where the main character(s) are transported to an alternate reality type setting. Both involve the idea of a 'game' that the main character(s) are forced to participate in against their will, and they will be snatched randomly and transported into the 'game'. Gantz tends to have more mature content and more gory death scenes than Psyren, but both story lines are very interesting, although Gantz has a darker and more dangerous feel. =.=

There are "games" in both series with real lives at stake, set up by some mysterious person. The main characters at first try only to survive the game, but later realize that the outcomes of "games" might just decide the fate of humanity.  

reportRecommended by bunny1ov3r

A death game, the characters of both manga are thrown into a game where they have to fight in order to survive, because if they die in this game they die in the real world too. How and why they end up in that game is a mystery. Follow these characters as they try to survive and figure out how the mystery. If you like action manga with gore then this is perfect for you! 

reportRecommended by Darkbow

Gantz without all the blood and gore and add in a couple supernatural powers and what do you get? Psyren. Both manga have survival games where the main character is fighting against something beyond his comprehension.  

reportRecommended by Rance-sama

Both involve a death game in which it is unknown of its true purpose, it involving killing monsters , gaining points and goals.
Differences - Psyren enters the game through a card calling machine where in Gantz you enter the game by dying, both are great in terms of building tension.
Gantz is extremly gory, dark and wierd and you are likely to not feel sorry for anyone due to the huge amount of deaths.
Psyren is more esp related with superpowers and is funny, where Gants is more serious with action packed stuff like guns and swords.

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.

Kubera addpermalink

Both Kubera and Psyren focus on a lot of fantasy and have a very unique way of presenting the storyline while in both, on the surface the storyline seems rather classic - a future where the world is ruined or a girl with a god's name trying to get revange against the demon who destroyed her whole village.
Kubera focuses a bit more on the tragedy side of the story with many foreshadowing while Psyren focuses more on the creativity and unique abilitys of each character, more so - Kubera focuses more on each and every character while Psyren focuses on the storyline.
But even so, the quality of the storyline in both Manga is on a very high level, both will make you anxious for more, it has the magic that pulls you in no matter what and keeps you there. read more

Dolly♥Kill Kill addpermalink

Both Manga feature a small group of select morally varied characters each with unique powers based on their personalities fighting human hunting creatures in a post apocalyptic future. Both stories start in very dangerous and mysterious worlds that quickly become trivial as the characters begin powering up as fast as the story can keep up resulting in some insane power creep. One thing both stories do well is have many characters with very different motivations and personalities while still making them mostly sympathetic. They also feature a similar tone, being edgy and violent while not quiet reaching the bleak and hopeless atmosphere of something like Gantz. read more

Learning that you're not alone. Learning that you can grow stronger, and grow as a person. And that fighting can only get you so far.
Psyren and Online: The Comic. There will be freaky weapons and abilities. Each work presents two worlds to be explored. Of course, there will be bitter-sweet moments, and while Psyren is quite action-heavy with lots of flashy battle scenes and fast-paced hunts, Online further chooses to explore socializing, planning and remembering.
These two worlds complement each other wonderfully. read more

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) read more
