100-man no Inochi no Ue ni Ore wa Tatteiru

The games in both manga follow very similar rules:
* Characters are transported to an alternate world/space at some intervals
* They are given Quests which they have to complete in order to return
* Life on the line, if everyone dies the "game" is failed

There might be even more similarities ("game masters" are strange looking men who give out quests using their strange 'lingo') So if you like manga with such game elements it might be interesting for you. Gantz is mature audience oriented compared to 100-man, however both stories get rather complex and interesting as story goes on!

Hitoribocchi no Isekai Kouryaku addpermalink

When you get Isekaid you will always get a overpowered ability, right? Well, if you read one of the series you already know the answer, no, sometimes the MC gets unlucky. If you liked this aspect of the MC receiving some useless skill which he is still be able, by heavy improvisation, to make over powerd you will definitely like the other series. In both 100-man and Hitoribocchi the main characters fight to help a town/country, a small difference is that 100-man does this in the form of quests whilst Hitoribocchi does this in the expansion of one city by raiding dungeons. 

Both series also have a supporting cast who are more skilful than the MC yet are unable to use their skills to their full potential which forces to introverted MC to help them.

Being thrown into a game-like system to fight for your survival. 
By clearing a mission a new and a tougher scenario starts. 
Both series have similar thoughtful main character who comes up with interesting solutions and in my opinion is the reason why both series are a nice read.

Darwin's Game addpermalink

While the two series have some surface level similarities (MC forced into another world with powers with their life at stake), Darwin's Game takes place in the real world whereas 100man is mostly an isekai. That being said, I think these two series are very similar in the fact that they take mediocre, overdone concepts and present them at face value before developing into stories that diverge significantly from what you'd expect. Both also get noticeably darker from where they start.

-100man has a relatively standard isekai setting, except that the characters often return to their own world in between missions. The quests they're given rarely end up being as simple as 'get more powerful and beat monster,' and the relatively meager videogame powers they're given rarely end up being the reason why they complete them. There's a lot more focus on the character's mental states and personal motivations, as well.

-Darwin's Game is about your typical generic shounen MC and his inexplicably acquired superhot, super OP, super murder-happy love interest trying to clear a death game. MC-kun's entire persona is about his absolute refusal to give in to the game and kill and it's pretty mediocre, until suddenly he does give in and the story turns on the turbo boosters.

Despite the genre differences, both are very entertaining reads that a lot of people would easily overlook for being too generic. They aren't necessarily masterpieces, but definitely worth the read ESPECIALLY if you tend to stray from these story setups. read more
