Manga: Ciguatera
By the same mangka. Himizu is 2x darker than Ciguatera. Ciguatera is humorous at times with a bit of dark stuff thrown in.

Manga: Tsumi to Batsu: A Falsified Romance
Both are about young males who struggle with the desire to kill those they believe to be bad people. Each series delves into the psychological frameworks of the main characters - Tsumi to Batsu focuses more on the main character's state of mind after his actions, while Himizu places more emphasis on the main character's reasoning for his desire to kill someone. The main characters are very similar in that they seem to be psychologically-troubled youths who struggle with loneliness and morality.

Manga: Arigatou
Social realistic, depressing manga about miserable families, and how children inherited the sins of their parents. Great reads even if the description might put you off.

Manga: The World Is Mine
Nihilism is a pretty unexplored area of the human psyche, even if it’s clearly a big problem in the world today. For some reason we tend to stay away from complex problems where simple concepts like “good” and “bad” doesn’t really apply. To dive down into the vast meaninglessness in The World Is Mine and Himizu can be pretty suffocating, but hopefully they can give some perspective on your existence.

Manga: Bokura no Funkasai
If you want a cynical young man in a coming of age story, but without the heavy depressive elements, Bokura no Funkasai is a great choice.

Manga: Bokutachi ga Yarimashita
Reality can be so pesky. Most people probably doesn’t want to be reminded about it when reading manga. Growing up, especially, is the time when you start to see through your stupid dreams, and starts to adapt to whatever boring realities that your mundane life gives you, and the CONSEQUENCES they invoke. If not you’ll probably escape to an art school, and remain in denial so much that you have to read stuff like Himizu and Bokutachi ga Yarimashita to try to stay in touch with what commoners live through. No seriously, these two series deal with the transition from youth to adulthood, and how  read more

Manga: Freesia
- Both are dark seinen titles that focus on mentally unstable youths. - Both are set in realistic world lacking any sci-fi, fantasy, or horror elements. - Both MC's slowly loose their grip on reality as the story progresses.

Manga: Heads
Both are very dark and show the mental change of one person. They almost have the same amount of chapters.

Manga: Death Note
Both are dark and involves main characters on the border-line of insanity.  
reportRecommended by Rance-sama
Manga: Aku no Hana
These two series are not only dark, but they also highlight the mental breakdown of its protagonists.

Manga: Homunculus
Depressing and pessimistic social commentary manga with delusional/sick character. Both character lives as bum and have their own twisted-ideology or "rule". And as the story develop they gradually can't handle reality anymore. Also similar delusional ending. 
reportRecommended by Samwanwan
Manga: Ningen Shikkaku
These two manga are very depressing, they deal with topics that most people would find quite disheartening and these tribulations allow the characters to develop and grow as not only characters but as receptacles of life. They both fit a similar niche in the way they evoke your feelings and they both touch on what is beyond the face of human instinct. I thought it was interesting that they both have punpun as their number one recommended yet no one has suggested these two are similar.  
reportRecommended by PyonKichi
Manga: Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei
In these two publications, what the audience is subjected to is how things can be approached in negatively dramatic ways. However, this is the only similarity between these two series as one is geared for comedy and the other for drama.

Manga: NHK ni Youkoso!
They both deal with a person who has no dreams or aspirations and have no idea what to do with their life. NHK deals with hikkikomori while Hmizu deals with someone who's just lazy. They both do wild things to try and improve their lives but end up being futile.
