Sekishoku Elegy addpermalink

Both titles have a very similar style of story-telling. They each focus heavily on the emotions of the characters and their aspirations. It analyzes their self-worth and purpose in life.
Each elicit similar feelings of melancholy, hope and despair.

Hikari no Machi addpermalink

Both are by the same author, and have the lives of a troubled young boy play a large part in the story. Both stoies have a very violent theme aswell. They both have a similar feel to them.

Subarashii Sekai addpermalink

A lot of bleakness with a touch of black humour and, ultimately, a note of hopefulness that suggests it's not all as pointless as it often seems. Both works switch around between a bunch of at first seemingly unrelated stories with the ties between them becoming clearer the longer you read. There's a realism in the atmosphere and characterization and a questionably mystic touch filling in the cracks that I can only think to call Asano Inio's signature style.

Oyasumi Punpun addpermalink

Both are by the same author and have the same type of feel. The art style is similar (I guess that's a given!). However, Oyasumi Pun Pun can seem a little more lighthearted at times. Even so, both have pure soul-crushing moments.

Ultra Heaven addpermalink

Both of these manga have a fragmented storyline that might make reading it confusing, but also rewarding if you're into things like that - a complex storytelling. Both also have great detailed art.

Violence, sex, humor, a mentally unstable character. They each offer insight into the mind and focus on the characters' struggle to live in their harsh world.

20th Century Boys addpermalink

Both are seinen manga, with plot about the past, in school, and later, as adults.
Nijigahara Holograph is a lot shorter though, only 1 volume.

Warau Kyuuketsuki addpermalink

Both are fascinating, somewhat confusing trips through the worst side of human nature and its violent collision with youth.  Insanity and the paranormal element are important in both stories, with a blurry line between them. 

reportRecommended by Aiferrific

Fetish addpermalink

If you liked Fetish, you'll surely like NH. Both are great, psyhological and epic. 

reportRecommended by YukiStyu

River's Edge addpermalink

Both feature a varied cast of characters, each with their own set of problems and insecurities. While both deal with the hidden, shadowy sides of everyday human life, River's Edge is easier to grasp while Holograph is more abstruse.

Chainsaw Man addpermalink

Both are very dark and gruesome. Both of these are very unpredictable and there is a monster that could be seen as the main antagonist. I just had a feeling after reading Nijigahara Holograph, that Chainsaw Man fans would enjoy this manga.

Vitamin addpermalink

Both focus on bullying, but Nijigahara Holograph is more dark and Vitamin has a more shoujo feel to it. 

reportRecommended by Mitzia

Kiichi!! addpermalink

Dark stories revolving the fate of a child/children. Both are great "seinen" works that won't let go of you. 

reportRecommended by txrxgxu

Tsumitsuki addpermalink

Both are creepy short series dealing with the denizens of a particular town and the unusual and unsettling events than afflict them, with the protagonist switching regularly and the stories appearing at first more or less unrelated but gradually tying together.

Boku dake ga Inai Machi addpermalink

If the author of Boku Dake was smoking the same stuff as Asano Inio these two would be pretty similar. Broken childhoods, teachers, missing father figures, group dynamics, old lies and all that... 

reportRecommended by txrxgxu

Swweeet addpermalink

Bullying and hallucinations are central topics here, but unfortunately Swweeet doesn't really hold up all the way and changes from violence, sex and hallucinations to... a shounen style mystery?! Still it's lots of great qualities. Nijigahara Holograph is one of my favorites so it's hard to compete with that.

Boogiepop Series addpermalink

Both Boogiepop and Nijigahara Holograph revolve around mysterious injuries and deaths, with supernatural implications. Both titles are dark and esoteric, and are ideal for fans of psychological horror.

Believers addpermalink

Extremely dark and emotional. They each can be rather abstract and indirect.  

reportRecommended by Danish

Gogo Monster addpermalink

Incredibly abstract and surreal; they each have a very unique style and feel. 

reportRecommended by Danish

Homunculus addpermalink

Both are very surreal and can make you go "WTF?" and may not be clear at first. Neither of these are straightforward and require interpretation and open mindedness in order to fully appreciate. Both are seinen with dark plots.  

reportRecommended by Danish

Bokurano addpermalink

Both deal heavily with the mentality of the characters and their inner conflicts.  

reportRecommended by Danish

Hotel addpermalink

Both deal with hope and despair over a long period of time involving many characters in a spiral of emotions and psychological conflicts.

Manga: Serial Experiments Lain: The Nightmare of Fabrication

Serial Experiments Lain: The Nightmare of Fabrication addpermalink

Both have a very dark and intricate plot. They mess with your mind and offer many interesting ideas. They delve into psychological and philosophical aspects. The plots have multiple interpretations and may take a while to fully understand. The style is extremely surreal, abstract and completely different from anything else.
Since you can't recommend an anime for a manga this Lain oneshot is the closest thing to the Lain anime so if you liked the Serial Experiments Lain [i]anime[/i] you'll prolly enjoy Njigahara Holograph.

Shounen no Abyss addpermalink

A rural town where people lead a hamster-wheel existence. Alienated teenagers burdened with expectations. Failed adults feigning ignorance and keeping up the facade. Liars, criminals, abusers. A shared past tainted by tragedy. A beautiful scenery as a backdrop for poetic death... Or maybe not so poetic after all.

Nijigahara Holograph is for the subtle elegance.

Boy's Abyss is for the relentless existential dread.

Goth addpermalink

 Both manga share similar aspects of psychological loopholes found within the characters' dark pasts, their twisted present, and their dreams for a brighter future in whatever way they achieve it. There is a sense of desperation, need & want, melancholy, and just plain frustrating desire throughout the manga - the plot is intricately detailed but shady in others as if it is for us, the readers, to think about what kind of message the author intends to convey – as well as this pessimistic view of the world that every character has in their mind. Overall, these are an emotional read which require thorough concentration. read more

Aku no Hana addpermalink

Drama, Romance, Psychological, Mature... You get the same feelings reading any work by Asano Inio, so if you liked Aku no Hana, give them a chance. 

reportRecommended by Kiiroi

Not Simple addpermalink

Tragic stories told in a non-linear manner. They are both very emotional. 

reportRecommended by Danish

Uzumaki addpermalink

Both stories are about the very strange, creepy, and sometimes unexplainable happenings that centre around a town and its not-quite-normal occupants.
