Violent and manly manga. Both are about a cold hearted and muscular hero, who wants to take revenge on a demonic villain. In both series huge weapons are used in the battles. Also both manga touch on heavy topics (rape and misogyny in Beserk's case and racism and slavery in Blaster Knuckle's case), although it's not the main focus in either of these manga. 

Both are about extraordinarily strong loner characters on a quest of revenge and they often get into situations where they end up killing masses of monsters. Blaster Knuckle is a lot more silly thanks to its rather strange storyline involving the KKK/slavery/etc, but the general feel is the same. If you like the idea of overly strong men going around killing everything in their path, Blaster Knuckle is for you. 

'Blaster Knuckle' is definitely similar to Berserk (notably the Black Swordsman/Conviction arcs), as they both: - have a male protagonist with a tragic past - said protagonist is extremely scarred with unique weapons - hunt monsters but are hunted by the very people they protect - have stellar art quality, especially with regards to gore It is also worth noting that Miura is friends with the mangaka of BK, so naturally there will be some influence there. It makes for a short read, but try it! 

Taking place in 1880s America, both stories are about a discriminated race taking revenge on the people who killed their family. Blaster Knuckle is about killing demons whereas Red's antagonists are an army platoon. 

Western stories with a mix of everything from badass characters, cool fights, cool abilities and interesting otherworldly like stuff within the mix.
