It might be hard to believe, but the similarities between Animal X: Aragami no Ichizoku and Zetman are striking. They feature a very similar story (shape shifting bishonens, lab environments, super powers and so on), and also visually the two MC's are very similar (before they transform that is). The ironic thing is that Animal X is some kind of proto yaoi manga from the 90's, that isn't really much more than a weird sexual fantasy (as far as I read before I gave up anyway). I'm not deep enough into manga history to know if the author of Zetman actually drew inspiration from Animal  read more

Both are early 90's mangas with classic shōjo yaoi manga genre. They are both revolutionary mangas, because of the uniqueness of the premise and plot. They also have spin-offs and sequels because of their huge popularity among 90' japanese readers and fans. But unfortunately now the 21 century readers are quite ingnorant about this grandiose mangas. These mangakas are the pioneers of dramatic/action shōjo manga. Strong and highly spirited, red-blooded mangas with epic seinen/shounen-like scenes, they are definitely one of the best shounen ai mangas .In Animal X, there are more sexual related yaoi undertones, but even in Banana Fish there are some shounen ai  read more

Both manga have the same premises, but do something different with it. In both; After a strange occurrence a naive character finds himself drawn into a secret world where a human looking, but animal 'aligned' species evolved along with humanity. But the species has a slight problem - they don't breed well. Fortunately for the aggressive seme the uke happens to be an hybrid who is an ideal breeder...despite their protests of being male. Animal X has secret government organization, experiments, Yakuza and is in an old style of artwork. Sex Pistols is a school-life with more pretty shoujo artwork.
