Both is about a post-apocalyptic desert world where people do bad things to each other to survive. Also there's war and stuff. Really similar setting, almost as they are set in the same universe. Both are highly recommended for any post-apocalyptic fan. 

While Sunabouzo is the anti-hero of the future, Ichigeki is the anti-hero of the Edo period. Both are well written, intriguing and funny as well.  

Both Sunabozu and Voynich Hotel are really hard to explain in one sentence without sounding extremely boring. They share a similar storytelling technique, where the grand narrative is diminished and the plot breaks down into something very mundane, far away from the big stories often told in manga. This is also why they shine so much, without the big plot devices like heroes, villains and good and evil, the small acts and gestures become so much bigger, and the storytelling doesn't need to rely on the typical plot devices to get the story forward.  

Zetman and desert punk share the same fascination for deserted places made out of concrete, and in the later parts of desert punk there's quite a similarity to the storytelling where longer tightly woven plot is unfolding. Also the pacing is a bit similar wheve both move quite slowly forward but still are full of action. Zetman is very serious though, and desert punk have its fair share of comedy, but believe me when I say that desert punk gets way more serious (and "seinenish") after a few volumes. Both are of course awesome mangas as well. 

A lonely explorer in the desert. Desert Punk is pretty much a gritty version of Eat Man, where the MC isn’t actually overpowered and isn’t always a good person. Actually both two are episodical the first few volumes until the story starts for real.
