Some may totally question how different Kurozuka and 51 is, but I find that both give off the same apocalyptic-feel. 51 has more comedy relief than Kurozka (although it is definitely not a comedy), Kurozuka has much more gore than you may ever see (comparable to Elfen Lied). Somehow these two mangas, just remind me of each other. I highly recommend you try the first chapter of Kurozuka or 51 if you liked the other. You may be in for an angst-y surprise.  

They both have vampires and involve a time span of centuries. The protagonist travels to find a women named Kuromitsu like how Akabara looks for his queen 

Somewhat confusing series about morally ambiguous ancient vampires in a more-or-less modern setting with a great deal of fighting, gore, and stylized violence. 

Bloodshed, gore and almost hentai scenes bring these series together. Though plots are completely different, the whole atmosphere of madness and non-stop violence is pretty the same.  

In terms of violence and gore, Kurozuka seems to less exaggerated than Gantz. Although you are guaranteed to see guts flying in both cases. In terms of the narration, both story present a very unique and experimental style. Gantz having to constantly changing the characters while Kurozuka constantly time jumps (2 first volumes already cover a few thousand years). Both have this mysterious supernatural plotline well hidden along the action.
