Tokyo Ghoul

The artwork, like Berserk, is absolutely beautiful. The story is dark, grim, and, Like Berserk, questions morals and values. Both characters are anti-heroic, and they compliment each other perfectly, despite being polar opposites. Yes, both have monsters, but one is set in a medieval fantasy setting, and one in modern-day Tokyo, they opposites can attract.

Despite being on opposite ends of the realism spectrum, both manga share a powerful ambition to maximize their respective genres in ways that few mangaka would ever dare to try (one by building up an extremely large cast and committing to having all of them present in the story continuously, and the other by following its characters' lives in real time for 15+ years and counting), and have handled the challenges they set for themselves exceptionally well.

Both have great art, but Kamonohashi Ron has more comedy in it compared to Moriarty the Patriot, and MtP is a tad darker and more dramatic as it's from the perspective of the "villain," but if you're looking for some more Sherlock Holmes-based manga to read, this is a good contender!

Both stories tell the tale of a person, which kills for the sake of a relationship.
Not Happy Sugar Life, nor Killer in Love end on a happy note, which feels realistic to see them not getting away with their murders.
If you like to read a more bloody, more Gore heavy manga, I would recommend Killer in Love, as it shares some distinct similarities with the way that the protagonists handle critical situations (by murder lol).

Both stories tell a tale of a friend group, consisting of three individuals, who wish to seek for freedom behind the walls, where they're being kept in.
In both stories, "monsters" try to kill the last humans to eat them.
Although "Attack on Titan" consists of darker themes with the protagonist turning into an antihero and more Gore, which isn't the main focus of TPN, the theme of the antihero is being kept alive to an extend within Norman, who tries to mercilessly slaughter the "monsters" to guarantee future survival. In both stories, the protagonists eventually realizer that they aren't the only survivors of humanity, but merely an isolated group.
Overall, "Attack on Titan" is much darker, although TPN also integrates dark themes, which include implied suicide/suicidal thinking, depression and the dark reality that all happy periods one day have to end

They both start off with the focus of an unrequited love, but from opposite stand points (tomo-chan the main character in love vs Nakano-san the main character being sought after). What Tomo has in people as a support system, Nakano has in her ability to read minds (so she's basically on her own in the beginning). Their art styles are pretty different in execution, but aim for the same goal of characterization and stylization.

It's written in the same format (4-koma/4-panel) and has short and sweet chapters for the most part. Although Tomo-chan starts off with the focus of the unrequited romance, Buccafe is more focused on the antics of the cast while having intermitent romance in the plot. The comedy is mainly based on quirkyness and slightly exaggerated personalities, but still enjoyable nonetheless. Tomo-chan is pretty heavily based in a school setting as teenagers. Buccafe, however, is more of an adult setting(not so much in illicit content, but in demeanor/maturity). Their art styles are also relatively similar in terms of realism with a hint of characterization, Buccafe being the more realistic of the two most of the time.

Buccafé!
|
It's written in the same format (4-koma/4-panel) and has short and sweet chapters for the most part. They both have the painfully oblivious main love interests that develop their relationships past their respective idealiztaions of each other. The comedy is mainly based on quirkyness and slightly exaggerated personalities, but still enjoyable nonetheless. They both also talk about their respective fields in depth; GSN, manga and the makings of storylines/manuscripts. Buccafe, Buddhist practices, holidays, lifestyle, etc. Their art styles are also relatively similar in terms of realism with a hint of characterization, GSN being the more realistic of the two most of the time.

Colorless

While "Colourless" unfolds in a world drained of color, "Dorohedoro" immerses readers in a chaotic, surreal cityscape known as "The Hole." This place is rife with magic, mutated creatures, and a distinct lack of order. The stark contrast in settings adds a layer of diversity to your manga collection.
In "Colourless," our hero, an ex-college professor, stands against a powerful syndicate. In "Dorohedoro," Kaiman navigates a world of sorcerers and enigmatic figures. The characters in both manga offer distinct perspectives on resilience, morality, and the pursuit of their goals.

Whether you found yourself charmed by the whimsical journey of a human in a demon world or the quirky tale of a boy with the girl of his dreams quite literally in his hand, both manga offer a perfect blend of laughter and love. Their ability to seamlessly weave humour into the complexities of relationships makes them equally enchanting. Though personally for me, Midori Days clicked much more.

Both series feature characters that have mentally ill or disabled characters in which the author draws real-life experiences, tools, and stories from people in real life who have gone through these things. Both authors clearly care about people who are different and want to tell their stories to others. Good if you're looking for a similar series that includes various different characters.

With the Light is similar to Wandering Son because they are both long drama/slice-of-life manga centered around the lives of children from a young age to early high school. The main characters of both series feature a child who is different from the majority of students and it showcases the struggles of navigating through life that way. If you're interested in seeing a realistic and considerate depiction of different people, I'd recommend this series.
