Manga: Wild Adapter
Same author/artist and a similar grittiness. Very 'human' characters that make mistakes and are far from perfect.

Manga: Kagerou-Nostalgia
Have similar, alternate-reality historical fantasy settings, with a little sci-fi. Targeted toward a mature female audience. Lots of action, and violence. Monsters. Fantasy. Oh, and a gun-toting priest. Saiyuki has more comedy, Kagerou more tragedy.

Manga: Saraiya Goyou
- Both of these have exceptional character development; - all the main characters are extremely cool and likeable in their own ways; - both focus on the "adventures" of a tight group of characters, bound by some common goal; - both are serious and have quite dark moments (far more for saiyuuki though), both can be very humorous at times too; - the bromance is strong in both; - both have a very distinctive, unique are style (derived from Minekura- and Ono-sensei respective styles). Saiyuuki is far longer and Saraiya develops slower. Nonetheless both are pure brilliance and if you loved one, there's a high chance you will love the other  read more

Manga: Stray Dog
I find Kilka's and Goku's histories and personalities to be very similar, (hyperactive, called "dog" or "monkey" and loyal to people who only meant to set them free). If you're a fan either character I think you'll like the other too. 
reportRecommended by Sundog
Manga: Akatsuki no Yona
Both are series that involve the adventures of a cadre of superhumans that go around their lands trying to help out with whatever situation. And both have great art, great humor, and great action set pieces. Also to mention a lot of the main antagonists in both series are pretty well fleshed characters and have their own struggles outside of fighting the protagonists!

Manga: Black Lagoon
Bullets and fists as the only way of negotiations. Main characters with shady past, far from being innocent , twisted by life so sometimes you'll think that in "villians" they deal with is more common sense and composure 
reportRecommended by Rychulubicz
Manga: Rave
a group of people with mismatched personalities go on a journey through different lands fighting and meeting different people along the way 
reportRecommended by lujsy
Manga: Stigma
The art is very, very similar, and both feature deep storylines that have been given some obvious thought. Stigma is much shorter than Saiyuki, though.  
reportRecommended by Nofio
Manga: Valkyrie Profile
Less apocalyptic but more of a revamping and retelling of religious fables. There is a quest assigned the main character that drives the plot, meanwhile numerous side-adventures give you plenty of action and the characters time to shine. If you enjoyed the melding of religion and fiction in Valkyrie Profile, Saiyuki offers an identical genre.

Manga: Genjuu no Seiza
Totally different, not to mention that I have the faintest feeling that they belong to dfferent genres and demographics; but the buddhist theme, the priest theme and the monkey guardian that strikingly resembles Son Goku, makes me think that these two are somehow similar.

Manga: Psyren
a group of rebels forming a resistance against a larger force of evil that serves as the order for that society. both have the element of transforming good people into unnatural mutations to serve an inhumane cause
