Manga Recommendations

both are about slaves.

Supernatural yuri romance webtoons. Both have plenty of sexual scenes and both also feature women with devilish red skin color.

Both are reincarnated overpowered characters, trying to relax in their new world, with various degree of success. "Slowlife" is more focused on relaxation part and author seems to be ocasonaly projecting some desires, to be at mercy of women.

The biggest similarity outside of being a BL manga: both have characters who act dismissive towards manga industry at first. In Sekaiichi, MC had to change his editorial job from romance books to shoujo manga. In Joy, important side character keeps shaming MC(a shoujo mangaka) for "not contributing to society in a meaningful way". Both stories eventually develop those characters enough for them to stop dismissing the industry.

Both MCs try to cope with regret and trauma through fiction Both works have the appearance of a girl who would later change their whole perspectives on the world and how they should live their lives

Both of them focus on characters going on adventures in a specific part of their world and learning about different monsters in that area. Despite the setting being somewhat different they feel similar in their general structure where while there is a narrative always being followed we see many chapters focused on specific monsters, though in one it is about how a monster can be eaten and another on how they communicate. While Dungeon Meshi focuses on an underground dungeon for its setting, Heterogenia Linguistic focuses on a specific continent, both being home to unique monsters.

It both involves the MC dying and reborn into another side. He helps and tries to strengthen the forces of his current clans and helps using the knowledge of the past

Both of them involves a group of characters climbing up a tower The main character for both gets stronger over time while climbing the tower

Both of them involves a group of characters climbing up a tower The main character for both gets stronger over time while climbing the tower

Similar story settings, highschool girl living with a "sensei".

Both of these are quite similar in a sense, they both reminiscence about the past and are about making new memories for the future even though their theme's are completely different.

Both stories are about "wolf people" trying to fit into the human society. Now and then, they like to transform into wolves again.

A Yuri love triangle.

Both stories are fantasy stories with insanely powerful fathers who have daughters that are in love with them.

If you want a college romance that's done right and FAR MORE better then Rent a Trash Waifu, then Uzaki-Chan clears that with flying colors, especially when it comes to characters development. Also Sakurai is such a Gigachad compared to Kazuya, its not even funny and the favorite shortstack Uzaki is so much fun and lovable compared to below Midzuru and her bland personality too.

This is basically just a copy of "The Player That Can't Level Up". While the objective is the same, the actions of the mc, the plot are all different. I recommend reading "Level 1 Player" when it gets around 100 chapters (Now it has 58). By the way, don't drop this because "the plot is all same as the others", no, no it isn't. It's true that in all leveling manwhas the mc has a sick parent it doesn't mean it's bad, trust me.

In both manga the protagonists are friends. For various reasons, one of the two offers to "touch" the other.

A young Japanese boy gets emotionally abused and manipulated by a mentally troubled woman. A relationship develops between psychologically distressed schoolchildren and they bond over their shared trauma. They have a similar sketchy art style and unsettling narrative and imagery.

Both are wholesome SoL historical manga which are set in rural life: - There's a bride who goes to his groom's hometown and learns their way of life. - They are both quite informative about the old ways of making food and medicine. - There's no drama or annoying plotlines.

Both take a very grounded approach to writing characters behaving as humans would The battles, albeit by nature fantastical, also feel very grounded and cohesive with the laid out world rules

The story of a naïve and kind 'plain girl' main character and her horny neighbour who falls for her and repeatedly sexually takes advantage of her (who tolerates everything) until she reciprocates her love. Yes, I swear there's a genuinely cute and comedic love story (with a dollop of drama) underneath this ridiculous noncon premise, and if you liked one, you're probably going to like the other.

Attack on Titan and Naruto have a very detailed and expanding worldbuilding and storytelling that has both similarities and also differences while overall being on the same page. Such as that the two protagonists have a hidden power within them, where at the beginning it is considered hostile by their friends and allies, and this puts them in contrast to the world, while later they use it to their advantage and accept them for what they are, however eventually the narrative changes into Eren having to go against everyone to save his friends while Naruto embraces everyone to do the same, in general Attack on Titan is the higher quality series while Naruto is a larger exploration of that similar narrative.

Mc want to destroy humanity for name of revenge

Is he's the same vr reality world and an outside so not an isekai and both mc is op

SL is basically the superior version to this manhwa.

Very similar premises.

Must watch, if you ever have found yourself coming out of the womb then you will be sure to enjoy this.

It both involves romance in offices/workplace. Except its the opposite - The girl proposes to the guy first in 19th Life Both of them also involves the main characters meeting previously in their childhood times.

Both relationships start horribly wrong, but progressively become more and more wholesome as the time goes by.

romantic relationship between a two step siblings

A male protagonist feeling a little lost in his life takes a banter at trusting in a stranger to change his fate only to come in contact with powers beyond human understanding. +realistic and mature artstyle

Both manga follow a shoe craftsman who helps their customers overcome personal problems with kindness and insight.

same premise! an unlucky/clumsy guy and the romantic interest who vows to protect him. with the added bonus of people learning how genuinely sweet the male mc is why she's bothering at all

Hunter x Hunter shares similarities with Parasyte in the chimera ant arc, the main theme of humanity against a natural predator changing the food chain (with sociopolitical and environmentalist commentary); Youpi from Hunter x Hunter seems to be an homage to Gotou from Parasyte both in design and personality.

The way Usuke and Shinichi has to balance school life with the supernatural or alien plot is very similar; The Chapter Black arc is particularly comparable with Parasyte having the same feel of a thriller with cat and mouse style narrative, chases and characters having to outsmart one antoher.

You might've already noticed that both are seinen rom-com manga about working adults. While TY doesn't involve all-out otaku (Nokoru seems halfway there at best) unlike Wotakoi, there is a common theme of adults with peculiar tastes? There's more emotional (and overall) maturity in TY, so don't expect as many laughs as you would with Wotakoi; TY compensates for this with a short, satisfying and well-paced romance that will have you really rooting for the two throughout!

Older bubbly girl meets younger stoic guy.

Male lead acts cute and flustered and female lead shows forwardness. Both the guys are not what they initially appear. The guy in Kawaii nante Kiitenai is more of a tsundere while the guy in Kawaii Hito has a scary face but is very kind.

These two materials stand out for their highly detailed art and a sense of gigantic. The first one by an endless megastructure exploration, the second by the disproportionate peak summits ascend. Protagonists looks cold hearthed and lonely, but nevertheless human, wander through these outsized environments, cold and fascinating, both dizzying and anxiety-provoking. The danger of death constantly hangs over them. Although these two series are demanding, the mystery and excessness keep the reader on the edge of his seat from beginning to end.

Both are about delinquents Both feature an overpowered character Both have crazy villains.

Both mangas tell the story of two girls who are transported to another world with the destiny of becoming queens. Initially weak, but over time they become strong and natural leaders.

Ishura reminds me a lot of some of Hunter x Hunter's later arcs.

If you like crazy fights, this also has crazy fights.

Please read this one before the anime is released. I feel the webtoon was much better. But I will boldly say this. This is the greatest work of all time.

Barbarian subject is shared in these manhwa: strong and intelligent MCs proficient in fighting. They are resilient and patient to reach their goals. The action panelling, gore and violence is somehow very addictive.

While different in a lot of respects like tone, art style, execution, etc I think these two manga have similar themes on immortality, finding a purpose, and being human. While To Your Eternity has a more obvious positive arc on making friends and doing good, Houseki no kuni is more psychological, has an intriguing post apocalyptic setting and has body horror elements

Mystery and suspense, psychological warfare, and of course, horrible bullying.

Both series are all about love triangles. Love triangles are the very premise of the manga, with the main focus being who the main character will choose. Will it be their first love or someone else? I will note that the two have different approaches to the love triangle, with Tiger & Dragon focusing more on the antics of the girl and her two pushy love interests, while FutaKoi is more about discovering feelings and learning about dating through the love triangle. Either way, if you're a love triangle enthusiast, you'll really appreciate both series.

They are by the same author, so they have a similar feeling. They are romance manga, but they both have very strong comedic undertones, and the sense of humor is the same in both, due to having the same mangaka at the helm. While Tiger & Dragon is a love triangle series, it also utilizes the yandere/ obsessive and pushy love interest in the same way Minimaru Kareshi does (albeit with less depth due to having two characters and being a much shorter series). The female lead is very innocent when it comes to love in both series as well. (I think Mizuki Hoshino loves the naive girl x yandere guy pairings). If you like one, you'll probably enjoy the other.

These manga appear to be written as a pair, even if they aren't related to each other in any way, since they have the exact same premise of fairy tale reincarnation isekai, are both two chapters long, and have the same author and artist. Both are about girls who are reincarnated as fairy tale heroines and want to avoid the pain and suffering the original characters endured, as well as finding themselves in romantic encounters with the prince they're supposed to fall in love with. The Snow White story is more of a gentle, romantic, slice of life, while the Little Mermaid one is more comedic.

Both stories are BL that involve a near heartless character mistreating a main character. Same Author/Different Characters & Story Entirely

- both have mysterious ML - misunderstandings - strong FL

Both manhwa are dark fantasy survival set in a post apocalyptic world with monsters, with an pleasant development, great plot and a fantastic work of scenery art in Leviathan, while Sweet Home has a notable unique style. Both have very interesting stories and obstacles in their environments, developing a great sense of mortality every chapter. Without any spoiler, here are some informations: Leviathan counts with the idea of a world completely covered in water, surviving while being constantly in fear, not knowing if there is any other humans alive and what is under the water that surrounds you going as far as your eyes can see, being afraid of when the nighttime comes everyday, as you know it's when the sea monsters show up. In the same way, Sweet Home contains the reader’s relatability with the way characters have no clue on what’s going on, being held cramped in their apartments not knowing what’s happening behind every door and constantly being unable to trust the people among them, as soon as they can also turn out to be monsters after all.

Yakuzas that seem scary at first but are surprisingly normal presented in a comedic format.

Similar premises where the protagonists navigate through the entertainment industry in order to seek revenge. Skip Beat's direction of revenge is of the basis of romantic connections whereas Oshi no Ko focuses more on familial ties but with an extra element of an emotionally charged mystery. They'll meet peers that will mutually challenge each other to grow in the industry as well as facing challenges that will test their talents and emotions.

Same character who is depressed and wants to die

this has to be so far the ONLY thing with actual similarity in terms of feel to world trigger. most of the other recommendations are really stretching it. as world trigger is quite unique in this regard. however Sensou Kyoushitsu or "the bungle call" in my opinion is the sore similar manga to world trigger. despite their difference in setting (one in medieval times and one in modern day) they both share a ton of similarities. for starters both protagonists are physically weak and can't really fight, and both of them join some kind of organization that is currently fighting against invaders. both of their systems have these kind of unique powers and abilities with a lot of tactics behind them, and there are barely any individual fights like in normal shounen, all the battles are large in scale with teams fighting other teams using tactics to exploit their weakness. in this sense they are both similar to sports anime if you think about it, except there isn't any of the "friendship" power bullshit. most of the time they use tactics to win, both protagonists use their brain over braun and command over their team to win large scale battles. also eventually after getting attacked for so long their team eventually starts taking the offensive and the newer arc is about them advancing to enemy territory. also like a sports series both of them have interesting characters that often have backstories related to why they are fighting or within the organization etc and the protagonist has to mediate between different characters. nether protagonists are strong or talented instead having to use tactics to win. both manga feel like playing some rts or esports war game, where its like a team sport with the protagonist being like a commander. the start might be very different but eventually they start becoming similar later on. most of the other recommendations only have similar aesthetics but not similar feel or premise

A story focusing on the relationships of ancient mythological Gods and the human ways they act. Both have stunning art and find ways to mix what we know to be real with fantasy, I imagine if I was an anthropologist these would be my favorite manga.

If you enjoyed Second Life Ranker, I would definitely recommend Solo Leveling. As mentioned earlier, Solo Leveling shares similarities with Second Life Ranker in terms of their themes and focus on action. The story follows Sung Jin-woo, a weak hunter who is suddenly granted immense power, and his journey to become the strongest in the world. The art in Solo Leveling is absolutely stunning, with beautifully drawn characters and backgrounds. The action scenes are particularly well-done, with dynamic paneling and choreography that make them a joy to read. Additionally, the story is well-written and engaging, with a great balance of action, drama, and mystery. Overall, Solo Leveling is a fantastic manhwa that is definitely worth checking out if you enjoyed Second Life Ranker.

It's extremely difficult to explain why they're so similar without going into spoilers, but basically both series have major plot twists that make their plots very, very similar, to the point where I think Astra: Lost in Space was probably somewhat inspired by Kaguya-hime. I'd even claim that Astra is the more consistent, shounen version of Kaguya-hime. The two also both have similar themes due to the similar plots, such as identity. If you want a sci-fi mystery turned conspiracy, and are a fan of one of these series and want to see another take on these plot twists, checking the other one out might be worthwhile.

Both series have necromancers and summoning dead person into a body. Also gore, action and fantasy is available.

Overall both stories have nothing in common. But the theme of crimes and redemption reminds me a little of the atmosphere of this manga, especially in the last arc of the story.

Uzumaki is the closest thing you'll get to a lovecraftian cosmic horror.

Both manga are about film-making as an art form and discuss creativity and artistic vision. Both are about characters who are passionate about films and encounter someone else who reignites their passion after the death of a loved one. Umiko and Yuuta must both work on their creative vision and create the pieces that they need to and want to make.

Hell's Paradise and Hunter x Hunter share similarities such as dark themes, good power systems, intense battles and dynamic characters with unique abilities and motivations. However, Hell's Paradise has its own distinct style and themes that differentiate it from Hunter x Hunter.

The two have very similar premises and set-ups even though they are tonally and thematically very different. They are about cute, blobby creatures who want to spread happiness, particularly to the unhappy girl/woman who cares for them. I will say that Takopi is significantly darker and more disturbing than Kurumi, as it deals with very dark topics, as it focuses on depression and the dark side of humanity. Yumi to Kurumi is more lighthearted and focuses on insecurities and finding confidence in yourself. It's very cute and has a romantic plot as well. They're very different takes on a similar premise. If you are curious about what a lighthearted Takopi or a dark and tragic Yumi to Kurumi would be like, check the other work out.

Series about the entertainment industry that take a much darker turn within the first 10-15 chapters

Literally the same, but one in Kindergarten and the other in High School.

The overall premise of these two manga is quite similar. Both are about two opposite female characters who suddenly begin spending time together. However, a reveal about one of the two leaves the other in shock. The shocked girl must now confront the fact while trying to understand the feelings she has accumulated since becoming a pair. If you enjoy the emotional impact of the happy highs and heart-wrenching lows, you will find either of the two to be enticing. Kimi ga Shinu made Koi wo Shitai is set in a fantasy world, while Kimi to Tsuzuru Utakata is set in the modern world, so depending on your perspectives, one or the other may leave you with a greater impression.

Lost Lad London and The ComiQ are two short yet really intriguing mystery manga aimed at men (former is seinen, latter is shounen), centering on two male characters. There is a whole murder mystery that the main character has no idea how he got roped in it, and one of the two male leads is determined to prove the innocence of the other despite never meeting each other before the start of the story. There's somehow still a bit of light comedy whether it's manga parodies or dry yet sharp banter between characters, though.

Golden Japanesque and The Witch and Her First Love are two shoujo manga featuring a romance between a teasing popular boy and a girl shamed into hiding herself due to being shunned in her childhood. Her love interest's nonjudgmental attitude over discovering her secret furthers their newfound acquaintanceship into something more—both are overall great reads for those looking for some wholesome romance.

Golden Japanesque and A Sign of Affection are two modern shoujo manga where a romance forms after the male lead meets the female protagonist and causes her to essentially open up from her otherwise kept-to-herself life. Language and/or language barriers are bit of a common theme, whether it be between Japanese and English, or spoken and sign language. The dynamics of the relationship are pretty different (especially when Golden Japanesque is very much a drama), but both series have rather wholesome romantic development.

Golden Japanesque and I Am Here are two shoujo manga featuring a shy girl who underestimates herself and/or her appearance as the main character. But the one who tries to help better herself is a boy who gives her respect unlike what everyone else would do, and the two seem to grow feelings for each other before another boy comes into the picture. These two manga are also beautiful series in both art and content, as our female protagonist learns to stand up for herself and against those who oppose and try to sabotage her.

Zombie manga that achieve comedy by making the plot into something too absurd to take completely seriously.

both funny manhua

Both Main character were previously fat and were mocked but managed to improve their appearance and face the girl who did that to them previously

Stories about eccentrics in the Sengoku period. The progatonist also meets various historical figures from this era.

Booth are about experts of art determining the value of items of interest, though in one to participate in aesthetic goals and in the other case to create counterfeits.

Sophisticated tale of politics and warfare intermingling with personal goals.

Manga based on asian history and using real people as characters, but making it over the top and entertaining.

This novel might not be canon, but it's definitely a great one. The creativity that can be seen in its pages and how it uses an underutilized character from part 5 and it makes them a great protagonist make it a MUST READ for any Jojo fan.

If you've liked Jojo so far be prepared for its silly mysteries to reach their peak through the eyes of the amazing mangaka Kishibe Rohan.

Both of it are from the same creator. Both of them are about Revenge and Anti-Hero

The premise at the beginning is similar in both stories: - a guy enters a magic school with no magical powers. What's fun in both series is that how they play around it. They have to be clever or really skilled in something else in return. Both are an amusing read.

There are several reasons why I like both of these series: * In both series main characters dynamics work out really well - you keep wanting more interactions between them! * Relatable and well written main and side characters with nice backstories * Both are about relationships between people - what does it mean to be someone's friend; what does caring for someone really mean? * The confidence in both main characters (Yugami and Mitsumi) that inspires others and perhaps even you as a reader. Overall both are really well written slice of life manga.

The plot looks fairly similar based on what I read so far.

Tackle various secret / scandal in entertainment industry, while Oshi no Ko from entertainer pov, Tokyo Neon Scandal take from tabloid / reporter point of view. Viral story, hidden secret, invasion of privacy, news media both manga explore all about entertainer's scandals.

-Both manga are based on historical events. -Both manga explore the cultural aspects of ethnic groups, in Otoyomegatari being Central Asian cultures and in Golden Kamuy the Karafuto and Hokkaido Ainu cultures. -Both introduce the food and cooking customs of their focused cultures. -Both manga strive to portray period-accurate and ethnic clothing correctly. -Both manga briefly showcase the introduction of historically accurate technological advancements to the characters (in Golden Kamuy being film recording and in Otomoyomegatari photography) -The mangaka of both manga do extensive research in order to portray the historical setting correctly.

A weak main character in the beginning, that gets strong pretty fast (even if it's just a timeskip)

Has the similar main theme of the protagonist taking care of a small cute non-human girl.

I recommend this story of revenge in a Murim world where the protagonist, unlike other characters, does not have great physical power and must use his wits to overcome each adversity. It is an exciting plot full of unexpected twists that will keep the reader on edge until the end.

Anthology of Romance stories linked to a specific location (bus station).

they diverge on the type of plot, with undead unluck having much bigger and fantastical lore while Skeleton double is much more closer to our own reality but having supernatural elements. What each have in similarity is the fights with creative use of powers.

Both Saike matashitemo and Skeleton Double have a x-men like premise of people with supernatural abilities opposing each other, Saike matashitemo is a little bit more aspirational like a super hero story and Skeleton Double is a little bit more like Ajin or Parasyte. The fights and creative use of powers is very similar, Skeleton double at times feels like reading a new manga by fukuchi tsubasa (the author o saike matashitemo and law of ueki).

Both stories revolve around high school students pursuing their dreams in the beauty and fashion industry. Aya (Bless) aspires to be a makeup artist, while Ikuto (Runway de Waratte) has a passion for clothing design.

- Both are heavily rooted in mystery - Both involve supernatural happenings - Both start off seeming relatively wholesome but become much darker as the series progresses - Both have characters which focus on “exposing” the truths larger forces at work (Oshi no Ko with the Idol industry and Shadows House with- well- Shadows House)

- Both involve children with supernatural abilities (Anya’s mind reading and the Hoshino Twins’ ability to remember their previous lives) - Both involve “found family” themes - Both can switch between wholesomeness and dark themes depending on the specific chapter - Both involve children on a long quest to gather more information (Aqua about his father and Anya about the world of spies and assassins)

Both manga are about two girls that meet to talk about random topics, either online or in a food court. While the personalities of the characters differ between both series, they both feel like relatively relaxed conversations between friends in both.

If you're looking for a shoujo manga featuring a masculine-faced female lead who is frequently referred to as a "prince" by others, both series have something in common. As I write this, Uruwashi no Yoi no Tsuki has already reached six volumes, while Naisho no Kawaikochan is still a one-shot planned to become a series, so I couldn't make many plot comparisons other than the two having a drama filled with the female lead's concerns about showing her girlish side in front of the male lead.

These delinquent manga are very similar. In both manga there is a tough guy who actually wants to be treated as a little brother type, or at the very least not seen as a delinquent by another male peer. In both manga the characters are not matter-of-factly attracted to the same sex. The romance develops at a slower pace, but still has the carnal scenes that attracts a yaoi audience. In both the more macho of the two main characters happens to take the uke role in the relationship.
