Both mangas are about a game in which you're given a certain delay, and you should eliminate in some way a opponent, though this will become different in Liar Game. In both of them, you see a useless main character becoming stronger. They're also both more psychological than anything else. 

With one volume of Underdog under my belt, I think of it as Mirai Nikki done right. What do I mean by that, you ask? I mean that, so far, it's been closer to reality with its lead's views on life, his reactions to others and his... hobby--what you'd expect from a seinen title. I also mean that no dogs controlled by a diary have been used, as of yet. NO SUPERNATURAL DIARY STUPIDITY = YAY! Underdog is like some kind of holy union between Mirai Nikki (KILL EVERYONE ELSE!) and Liar Game (OUTSMART EVERYONE ELSE!). What I like A LOT about it is that face-to-face intensity gets combined with the need for thinking. Since it's against the rules in Underdog to DIRECTLY kill the other players, the aim of the game is to make the other player either kill themselves or INDIRECTLY cause someone else to kill them. It's great! Based on the author being the creator of Shamo, there might be a fair amount of unpleasant, not-so-nice things around the corner to keep me hooked. (....LITTLE SISTER!) read more
