xxxHOLiC addpermalink

Mysterious shops with inscrutable owners, whose customers receive only the merchandise they "deserve".

Both are about a shop which can grant the customers' wish, but there are special conditions as well.
In xxxHolic the customer must give something of equal amount in return, while in Pet Shop Of Horrors the customer must obey 3 rules.
Both manga show the negative sides of the humans and the misfortune they meet. 

reportRecommended by DarkClaymore

Both are about mysterious supernatural shops and their owners who help decide the fate of each visitor. Both are episodic and have beautiful art. 

reportRecommended by Narushisto

The whole premise of these shows is the idea that there is a shop somewhere where you can get your desire granted. In one of them, wishes... in another, the perfect pet. But things are not always as they seem in that there are consequences to your actions and a debt you need to pay for that desire to come true. They may start with episodic chapters but then get into a much deeper story.

Count D is like a male version of Yuuko.
Both have a shop (one sales mythical creatures the other grants a wish)
Both are of the supernatural genre
Both have a price to pay- one of them if you break the contract the other to grant a wish
Both portray the weaknesses/ dark side of human nature
 

reportRecommended by turquoise_neko

Both Yuuko and Count D keep a shop filled with things that could be considered extraordinary. The stories are mostly contained within one chapter, but add to the characters and will occasionally extend beyond a single chapter. Beyond that, these stories oftentimes will have some kind of cautionary tale included, and heavily focus on the human nature.

Mysterious shops with mysterious owners. Supernatural events keep occurring while we are shown the somehow ugly reality of humans and there are also heartwarming stories. Some say that Yuuko and Count D are really similar but i would say he has more in common with Watanuki, besides the heterochromia and the slaying fashion, they both have a male sidekick with whom they have funny interactions

The Tarot Café addpermalink

Both of these mangas are about a shop or cafe with a mysterious owner, which gets mysterious customers. These episodic manga's are about the stories connected to the customers, and sometimes to the owners. Both have a mysterious horror feeling, and both are an awesome read.

Franken Fran addpermalink

They are both considered twisted. Both main characters seems to have a series of unfortunate events where ever they go. Also in both manga not all events have a happy ending and basically both Fran and Count D. really do mean well and want to make their customers happy.

Genjuu no Seiza addpermalink

By the same creator, feature many animals posing at humans.  Whom only a few can see them for what they really are mytical creatures.  A light hearted story with comedy and horror elements.

The Antique Gift Shop addpermalink

People get stuff from a shop and certain things happen to them. There are also two good looking guys in the story who are main characters (Count D and Mr. Yang). A lot of twist that are witty, can be confusing, but are just awesome. I highly recommend both. They are very good. Petshop of course is animals and results in deaths a lot, and antique shop is antiques and is more along the lines of ghosts, shamans, and other things. I also think antiques has more of a story, while petshop has that repetitive take a pet, consequences of not listening to what Count D told you. Enough of my opinions, just read them! read more

Adekan addpermalink

Main personages are very similar. Both mangas about eccentrical policeman and his freind shopkeeper.
Adekan also contains hints on shounen-ai. Both are very comical. You'll enjoy it!

Void's Enigmatic Mansion addpermalink

Both series involve people who desire something and are aided by supernatural means. Their tales often head in the direction of tragedy as what they want tend to have negative consequences.

Jigoku Kurayami Hana mo Naki addpermalink

Both series delve into the supernatural aspects with a dark twist.
In both works, an establishment of some sorts are present with an owner and customers.
 Both "owners" are mysterious and at furst glance, dark people. 
 The series also share similar vibes themselves.

I Wish... addpermalink

Both have a shop which deals with "interesting" merchandise. The owners of the shops are extremely mysterious, somewhat cold. They affect their customers in some sort of way. However, Petshop Of Horrors is, obviously, Josei/Horror, I Wish... is a Fantasy/Shoujo.

Plants Doll addpermalink

Both shops sell mysterious things; living dolls and dangerous pets. Which, if not cared for properly, could end badly for the buyer.

Ludwig Kakumei addpermalink

Although these are two very different stories, they do emit the same kind of ominous feeling. Both are fairly high rated and rather disturbing horror stories. While Count D is 'just' a human-hater and seems to be connected to several occasions of death, Ludwig  is into necrophilia. The settings are very different though. Petshop of Horrors is set in Chinatown in America, while Ludwig Revolution is set in fairytale land where you'll meet Snowwhite, Red Little Riding Hood or Rapunzel. Both stories are definitely worth a shot!

Death Note addpermalink

Pet Shop at first seems to be a light manga with a dark streak, but as one completes the series they find that the message is, in essence, exactly the same as what the chillingly accurate Death Note is saying.  If you like Death Note for the issues it brings to light, you'll love Pet Shop of Horrors--and vice versa.

Level E addpermalink

If you thought Count D was quirky just wait until you meet Prince Ouji! For the fan of the supernatural who tend to lean towards stories with a somewhat grim undertone, these are the series' to check out. Both have quirky and fun characters and despite often dark and foreboding twists, still manage to offer a generous helping of humor along the way.

+Anima addpermalink

Both of these involve people with some sort of special connection to animals and involve some mystery and fantasy elements.

Deimos no Hanayome addpermalink

Both manga feature a collection of separate stories while gradually moving forward with its loose overall plot. Each chapter is a tale regarding the horrors of human nature.

Yumekui Kenbun addpermalink

Horror and the supernatural are common traits of these two series. Both main characters run shops wth supernatural themes, and only serve their customers with certian conditions in place. Also, each have chapters with contained stories.

Waraenu Warashi: 108 no Karma addpermalink

Waraenu Douji - 108 no Gou is a episodic manga that is about a human with a certain desire, gets helped by a Zashiki Warashi. However this help doesn't have a positive spin. In this sense the manga reminds me of Petshop of Horrors, which is about humans with a certain desire, and come to the rumoured petshop for extraordinary pets... with nasty consequences...
