Manga: Usotsuki Mii-kun to Kowareta Maa-chan: Totteoki no Uso
I think they have very a similar dark atmosphere and I'm convinced that if you liked GOTH you're probably gonna like Lying Mii-kun and Broken Maa-chan. (and btw they're both manga-adaptations of novels)

Manga: Fetish
Both are very twisted episodic horror stories adapted from a novel. While Fetish is about a boy who has a strong liking to injured women, Goth is about a boy who fantasizes about committing murders in gruesome ways and a girl who likes to see people suffer before they die.

Manga: Tajuu Jinkaku Tantei Psycho
They're both about serial murder cases and someone who solves them. Also both are gory and show mutilated corpses. However, MPD Psycho has a more complicated story.

Manga: Fraction
Though the motives are different, both manga feature a man and a woman who play detective in order to find serial killers. Goth is deeply psychological with a dark atmosphere and creepy scary. Fraction is psychological and borders on guro. The detective work is sound and the result is shocking. The author's narrative intervention in Fraction is a fresh take. Fraction makes you look at the principles of crime fiction. Both are disturbing in their own way.

Manga: Anne Freaks
Exact same premise. Two sociopaths, a boy and girl, meet and love madly and obsessively. Anne Freaks is fast paced with conspiracies, terrorists, and government on the hunt for the couples' blood. Goth's protagonists stay in school and solve gruesome murders around town. Both are shonen manga with female protagonists who aren't stereotypical bishoujo. They are pretty short. Both left me wanting more.

Manga: Doctor Du Ming
There aren't many manga (or stories in general) with psychopaths as leads. Their lack of feeling and/or traces of normality makes it hard for readers to relate, and most authors probably assume MOST manga readers aren't nutjobs. But these two short series differ from the norm. It's arguable that the biggest similarity between the two is obsessive love and murder going hard-in-hand. In Goth it's more a case of wrist-lust than love, really, but it's a fact that both of the female leads find themselves toyed with by dangerous people. If you like your manga happy and without gruesome death (as well as a lil' rape), it  read more

Manga: Death Note
Both manga are about killing people, and both have an intelligent and handsome male protagonist interested in death and with that twisted and evil look~ Both psychological manga. Both not for the weak of heart. Both good. Goth is much more gore, but I feel these two manga similiar in a way. Also because one of the chapters of Goth was about a note (lost by a killer).

Manga: Houkago Hokenshitsu
A great plot. You don't know exatcly what is going to happen and everything that you believed (while reading the manga) is awesome! I recommend it if you want to see something good and really new.

Manga: Funouhan
Both are psychological mangas with horror and mystery elements. Both contain a lead character with an apathetic personality who prefers to observe and influence crimes rather than commit them directly. Both are episodic in nature and involve various crimes.

Manga: Tsumitsuki
This is a psychological manga too

Manga: Book Club
Both have themes of horror, gore and mystery. Book club is centred around the strange/ supernatural things that happen, while Goth is about murder and the human psyche.

Manga: Children
Although Children is 10 chapters longer than goth, both are short and get to the point that they want to get across. both are pretty gorey and are Mystery Horror type manga. I also think that the characters are similar especially personality wise

Manga: Watashitachi no Shiawase na Jikan
Both are short, intense, dark, psychological, and have a main and female, that stick together.

Manga: Kagen no Tsuki
Both are dark and spooky themed mystery novels with a ya cast as well as also a focus on death as well too and also nice art and character designs.

Manga: Ayeshah's Secret
Somewhat masked love stories where the focus lies greatly on death. Ayeshah's Secret is more mature while Goth is more graphic.

Manga: Hitsuji no Uta
both series have a soft almost watercolor style of art, dark atmospheres, beautiful sad and melancholy female leads, and strange and obsessed male leads. both are about death and all the strange feelings that surround it. both are very enjoyable if you're happiest when it rains...

Manga: Itou Junji Kyoufu Manga Collection: Kubi Gensou
Ito Junji's recurring protagonist, Oshikiri, reminded me A LOT of Goth's lead. Despite being normal students on the surface, both have an abnormal, sociopathic edge to their characters and are surrounded by death/murder in each chapter. Oshikiri is a more balanced character in the sense it is usually his alternate universe selves killing and he is more of a 'good guy', where as the lead in Goth is just outright fascinated by death and on the cusp of becoming a serial killer. But both are killers that lack basic emotions; finding themselves involved with troubled females along the way.

Manga: Nijigahara Holograph
Both manga share similar aspects of psychological loopholes found within the characters' dark pasts, their twisted present, and their dreams for a brighter future in whatever way they achieve it. There is a sense of desperation, need & want, melancholy, and just plain frustrating desire throughout the manga - the plot is intricately detailed but shady in others as if it is for us, the readers, to think about what kind of message the author intends to convey – as well as this pessimistic view of the world that every character has in their mind. Overall, these are an emotional read which require thorough  read more

Manga: Bradherley no Basha
Both have similarly twisted themes, but on different levels. They both focus on the horrors caused by humans themselves.

Manga: House Of The Horror
Both short (1 volume only) and good horror manga which have plenty of mysteries, deaths, and gruesome scenes. 
reportRecommended by RenaPsychoKiller
Manga: Shissou Holiday
Both are 1 volume-long manga written by Otsu-Ichi, have nice art, and are seinen. Holiday focuses primarily on mystery and is much lighter than Goth, while the latter is darker and gruesome. Also, in both there are 2 main characters.

Manga: Ana Satsujin
Budding Relationship between a girl and a boy where one wants to kill the other and the other doesn't care. Not so much romantic as it is obsessive. In both manga, one is seemingly normal and popular, while the other is a social outcast. The pair in Goth don't kill people and do detective work. Save for the male protagonist, all characters in Ana S. are unregistered serial killers who sometimes go to college. Both manga feature psychopathic leads; in Goth's case, both the girl and boy are sociopaths, in Ana Satsujin, only the girls that pursue the male lead  read more
