Manga: Homunculus
Both series are about a loner protagonist who makes use of his ability to percieve a visual manifestation of the darkness in people's hearts to help them with the problems they don't want to face, and ultimately has to face his own troubles. Genkaku Picasso is a rather shounen approach to the subject and comparatively optimistic, whereas Homunculus brings adult subject matter and ambiguous morality into the mix.

Manga: Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai
Both series have a similar premise: the protagonist is a loner with obscure interests who is called a weird nickname by the rest of the class; "Picasso" in Genkaku and "Otamegane" in KamiNomi. They encounter a supernatural girl and are then told to help people who are suffering from terrible burdens in their heart. If they don't, they will die. They end up using their "weird" interests in order to save people's hearts and become better people themselves.

Manga: Act-age
Both series are Shonen Jump titles that don't adhere to the edgy, action-packed reputation the magazine has garnered; instead, these series embrace the naturally weird and wonderful world of the creative arts. Though very different narratively, with Act-Age focusing on acting and Genkaku Picasso focusing on illustrative art with a splash of psychology, both series fully embrace their artistry and decide that reality should not be the limit.

Manga: Onanie Master Kurosawa
Both protagonists share the same social problem: they're two outcasts, all alone with their obsession: masturbating for Kurosawa and drawing for Hamura/Picasso. Their attitude, which is supposed to make them appear strong and not concerning the students company, is but a way to conceal the fact that both are really scared to have social contact with others. In the two manga Kurosawa and Picasso end up helping people: Kurosawa is worried for his classmate Kitahara and all the people he hurt, Picasso becomes a sort of paranormal "psychological fixer". To sum up, their both works which fae the theme of growing up and becoming adults.

Manga: Majime na Jikan
Both stories are in the supernatural/psychological genre and they deal with coming to terms with death. The main characters from Genkaku Picasso and Majime na Jikan are in highschool, so they face the same kind of issues regarding relationships and identity. Both are bittersweet, hopeful tearjerkers that make you think. The creepy art moments are similar too.

Manga: Fight Ippatsu! Juuden-chan!!
Both involve at least 1 main character solving people's problems through unorthodox methods, but Genkaku Picasso is more psychological compared to Fight Ippatsu! Juuden-Chan!

Manga: Cossette no Shouzou
Both series are about an artistically talented young man, a supernatural young woman only he can interact with, and a series of potential disasters they work together to avert. Picasso has more mainstream shounen elements than Cossette, which errs toward a rather gothic combination of horror and romance, but elements of Furuya's typical creepy style always find their way in somewhere.

Manga: Bleach
Bleach is about a living guy that helps the dead. Genkaku Picasso is about a dead guy that helps the living! There are some things that the Bleach fans might find rejecting at first sight about GP. GP is drawn in a style a bit like shojo, although it's shonen. Also, it's a bit weak at first. But when you get into it, it's a really good shonen manga. In the third and final volume everything is put together and you see the whole picture (pun, hehe) and that's when the manga reaches it's highest level.
