both contain extreme violence and people just trying to survive in the situations they find themselves 

Both stories take place in a post-apocalyptic world with young adults as protagonists. Mangas tell story about the world with new formations, violence, and the search for something missing. Both have mature content. 

When you read Akira and Eden, second one looks like some lineal heir of Otomo's work. The same setting - post apocalyptic future without any useless hopes, brutal world that will kick your ass without hesitation. Main protagonists are almost the same too - young guys trying to help their friends to live in this world, they will use everything to get what they want and won't strain to spill some blood. Art looks similar too. 

Post-apocalyptic mecha with a lot of religious imagery and some geopolitical.  

The thing that these both mangas has in common are the leading personages - young boys that got separated from their familys in a weary young age and people around them involve them in their illegal affairs. If we take into account that both mangas are done by different artists the illustrations are identical. 

Both are about surviving almost extinction due to several reasons, and how society changes and adapts to it. Furthermore, both are also about groups of people unraveling the mysteries surrounding the events of their almost extinction. In both manga we witness the growth of the different characters over long periods of time. 

The world is ending, facing its imminent demise in the form of a major natural disaster caused by the wrongdoings of humanity. Meanwhile, a considerable amount of characters struggle to survive, understand and restore the world before the imminent Apocalypse takes place, all the while crossing their paths and reflecting about the meaning of life and the faults of human beings, with not-so-subtle religious and philosophical themes and the bellic setting enriching the stories. 

If you like one the other isn't far behind. Eden is sci fi, however the emotional ride is just as fun. Ayeshah's secret had better art and Eden is longer. Both tragic both complex justice. 

Great endings + flawed and somewhat believable charecters. Holy land has MUCH less tragedy and Eden has some sci fi.(Nothing unrealistic for the time it's set in) EDEN was mor believable and beutiful, but holy land was a major page-turner. 

By the same author, may be worth checking if you liked the fast paced, merciless action scenes of any of both manga. Eden is a lot more mature, but Gusha no Hoshi shows some promise as a violent shonen. Both worth checking.  

Apocalypse is shorter than Eden( which makes it sweeter) Apocalypse characters are very fleshed out and developed, some of it through back stories. In Eden the MC's character is revealed to the reader as he develops, not much back stories except for the one-shot. 

Both have robots and Sci-fi themes Both have detailed great art Both have deeply character development Both are re-readable 

Both stories take place in a post-apocalyptic world, similar themes 

Both feature references to actual science. In Fran's case solely the bio-sciences, such as stem cells and blood types, while Eden discusses quantum computers, astrophysics etc. 

Brutal but philosophical seinen with some of the most breathtaking artwork in the medium. Both stories center around a paranormal worldwide disease that has broken most of the political structures in the world, and feature some heavy biblical references. 

Both stories are about a widespread diseace of mysterious origin, in mostly post-apocalyptic setting. While Eden is more nuanced and mature story, sometimes slow-paced, Midori no Ou has pretty fast flow. 

Both have post-apocalyptic themes Both have robots Both have detailed great art Both have existential myths 

set in a post-apocalyptic world and features themes of genetic engineering, human evolution, and advanced technology. 

Both works received great influences from western sci-fi while also being of capital importance for their own genre: Eden was a milestone for cyberpunk, Mother Sarah for post-apocalyptic fiction. They share various degree of political undertones and individual struggle in the midst of bigger events, but while Eden has a multi-layered complex plot about life and evolution, Mother Sarah resembles more a Hollywood blockbuster directed by Michael Bay, like most of Otomo's stuff. 

Both are set in the near future, have hacker protagonists, extreme violence, nudity, and very strong willed females.  

Both contain post-apocalyptic worlds, robots, cyborgs, mysterious organizations, terrorists, as well as amazing art and engrossing plots.  

These two manga are really similar: The plot's timeline spans over decades. There is a myriad of complex and multi-dimensional characters. Both series show realistic conflicts between powerful organizations with some supernatural elements. Both series capture attention and are very binge-friendly. Both series have a realistic art style and grasp of human psychology. Both manga also share a similar problem: the author decides to write more than one iteration of the hero's journey, introduce more characters, do a time-skip, and seems to have forgotten what was the charm of the first arcs. The finishing chapters leave the reader somewhat dissatisfied. Both are worth recommending to any mature manga readers.  read more 

Similar art and narrative style. Eden features more graphic violence/sex scenes though. 

Both have very complex story lines, probably some of the best I've read. Both have lot of characters dying, but still manage to make us care for all of them. If you like one, you'll probably enjoy the other  

Both have the same sex and violent style, which means there are a lot, but never feels forced. And both have very interesting and complex stories, even though Berserk is medieval and Eden is Sci-fi. 

In both manga there is a post apocalyptic setting brought about by a disease that solidifies people. They also both deal with political and philosophical ideas although Eden to much larger extent. 

Both deal with violence in an equally disturbing manner. Few manga can compare when it comes to making one uncomfortable by avoiding 'happy endings' as much as possible. And, maybe purely because of how the subject matter is dealt with, I found the art of the two somewhat similar. There are parallels between the titles' leads, such as them both seeing one of their parents seriously wounded/murdered. And dealing with loss - as well as the desire for revenge - is a key factor in both. 

Both revolve around a protagonist living in a era after the world drastically went through transformation. Eden through a unique pandemic and A Spirit of the Sun through a devastating cataclysm that changed Japan forever. 

They're both set in alternate futures and explore the complexities of human nature. Also both have great art.
