Both stories about wrong choices and consequences. Aku no Hana goes deeper on the mind and loneliness of its characters; BokuYari relies more on relationships between them. BokuYari deals a lot more with mature themes like sex and drugs. Aku no Hana deals with contained perversion. Both explore its themes in fashioned ways. Kasuga is a niche nerd; Tobio is just your average guy. Both lifestyles define the way they deal with their problems during the story. The motto is the same: Karma is a bitch and will make your brain melt. 

Although Prison School realies a lot more on comedy and ecchi, while Bokutachi ga Yarimashita deals with some heavier themes, the comedy style is pretty similar, as is the cast and dynamic relationship of its main characters, being a group of good for nothing boys who have a deep bond but are ready to betray one another whenever necessary. 

Both mangas depict its characters doing horrible things and then facing the consequence of their actions. 

Both masterpiece modern tragedies. Oyasumi Punpun is more absurdist and diverse in its themes; BokuYari is more grounded and focused. Both appeal to guilt and consequence during the whole story. While Oyasumi Punpun is a depressing rollercoaster downhill, BokuYari is a sinking boat full of regret emerging and submerging constantly. The main difference is about the protagonists starting point: Punpun is a victim; Tobio is a culprit. Similar things happen in both stories but the point of view is heavily changed between one and another. A hell of a ride. 

*OTHER WAY AROUND*. MaL detects Chi no Wadachi as recommended work no matter what order I pick cuz their website coding is dogshit Main character(s) being culprits of a realistic crime in both mangas, incredibly suspenseful, terrifying and makes you question "is it morally righteous that I'm rooting for them to get away with their crime?". Bokutachi ga Yarimashita feels like a replicate of Oshimi Shuuzou's (better known as creator of Aku No Hana) work with its story direction and eerie settings that's rare to stumble across nowadays.  

Main characters were complicit in murders. They try to cover it up because if it would be revealed, their "calm" lives would be over. *Artstyle gets under your skin, chillingly cold conversations.  

The main characters suddenly were involved with severe criminal acts, without being the true culprit. Still, it continues to haunt them. They are anxious about other people finding out the secrets they do not want to get leaked. *Great psychological manga! 

Normal people get caught up with sudden murder, and have quickly tried to cover it up. However, things get complicated and through lots of self doubt they want their misery to end, so they can continue living clean and peacefully. 

Reality can be so pesky. Most people probably doesn’t want to be reminded about it when reading manga. Growing up, especially, is the time when you start to see through your stupid dreams, and starts to adapt to whatever boring realities that your mundane life gives you, and the CONSEQUENCES they invoke. If not you’ll probably escape to an art school, and remain in denial so much that you have to read stuff like Himizu and Bokutachi ga Yarimashita to try to stay in touch with what commoners live through. No seriously, these two series deal with the transition from youth to adulthood, and how actions create consequences, in a really good but painful way. It’s understandable that they don’t get a big audience because of this but they are really good reads, so don’t miss them.  read more 

Theme- and genre-wise, these two are just different. However, they somehow give the same experience to the reader through the same plot formula of seemingly endless series of unfortunate events and unexpected twists. As a result, reader becomes skeptical whenever good things and peaceful events happen, because they can't help but think that there might just be a catch or something. There's also a resemblance to the art style for both series, since both are kinda realistic and are fully utilized to execute both light comedy and dark humor better. 

Also takes place in a school setting, with the same artist between both titles. 

The flimsy characters, the serious art, the weird faces and the sick and at the same time serious jokes. Both are great. 

Both feature adolescent guys that get into a relationship with a girl some time into the story. Both the main characters get into a lot of trouble and it is mostly their own fault. Both MCs have friends that grow to distaste them and come at odds with. Both of the characters suffer somewhat with mental health throughout their respective stories. Both feature an older character that somewhat bullies the protagonist but grows to like or respect the protagonist further into the story. Overall the vibe is quite similar, as both are somewhat darkly comedic and psychological coming-of-age stories. The biggest difference is that Bokutachi has a realistic arstyle where as Ciguatera's is more cartoonish. In my opinion the two are very similar and someone who likes one should like the other. read more
