If you liked Zombie Maria add

...then you might like Yoko-chan wa Positive add

Both are zombie-themed one-shots which pair a very optimistic girl with a relatively pessimistic boy. Both also have positive messages.

If you liked Confession add

...then you might like The Cliff add

Both have similar premises of two men being stranded on a mountaintop/cliff and explore the resulting psychological toll it has on them.

If you liked Astroid add

...then you might like Spinoza add

Surreal stream of consciousness adventures by the same author

If you liked School Kill add

...then you might like Water Crisis add

Both are comedic, silent one-shots which follow a bespectacled, black-haired student engaging in silly antics.

If you liked Bad Friends add

...then you might like Nineteen add

Both are by the same author and look at the downtrodden and marginalized of South Korean society. Bad Friend is a single narrative while Nineteen is a collection of short stories. One story from Nineteen is very similar to the narrative of Bad Friend, as they both follow delinquent schoolgirls who grapple with the trajectories of their lives and their physically abusive parents who attempt to curb their attitude.

If you liked Highschool of the Dead add

...then you might like All of Us Are Dead add

High-school students witness the dawn of a zombie apocalypse and must subsequently survive it. HOTD is more of an ecchi action "blockbuster" while All of Us Are Dead is more serious and realistic.

If you liked orz add

...then you might like Dorothy Band add

Both are comedic adaptations of The Wizard of Oz. Dorothy Band takes a punk music focus and is a bit more radical in adapting the story when compared to the more faithful but sardonic orz.

If you liked Haruka na Machi e add

...then you might like Chichi no Koyomi add

Both are works by Jiro Taniguchi that involve a middle-aged man confronting their youth and their relationship with their parents. They both explore the profound effect that this encounter with the past has on the character now. While Chichi no Koyomi is a reminiscence through memories, Haruka na Machi e involves the character being sent back in time to directly confront the past.

If you liked Hadashi no Gen add

...then you might like Grass add

Both are hard-hitting looks at the civilians who were made victims by World War 2. Grass is about the Korean women forced into sexual slavery by the Japanese forces (comfort women). Hadashi no Gen is about the Japanese survivors of the Hiroshima atomic bomb blast and the struggles they faced thereafter. Both also use plants as metaphors for the resilience of the main characters.

If you liked Konjiki no Gash!! add

...then you might like Shinrin Ouja Moriking add

Both series follow non-human (but mostly humanoid) fighters who take part in a competition for the kingship of their world. In both series, the king candidates pair with humans and fight against other pairs to win the title (though this is not mandatory in Moriking). Comedy is a big aspect in both series, though Moriking tends to be more a comedy-centered series than the more battle-heavy Zatch Bell.

If you liked Hyouryuu Kyoushitsu add

...then you might like Yakusoku no Neverland add

Both series follow a group of children who finds themselves in an unknown, alien-like world and must adapt to survive its dangers. This is not the main premise of Neverland as it is for Hyouryuu Kyoushitsu/Drifting Classroom but rather it describes one part of it after a certain point. Moreover, in Neverland the group is tight-knit, while in Drifting Classroom they are not and that is another aspect that impedes their survival.
