If you liked Zankyou no Terror add

...then you might like B: The Beginning add

both series are about extremely smart detectives tracking down a terrorist-like group. both have eerie feels. both protagonists (koku vs twelve and nine) are raised in a place that was designed to make them into the person they've become, and both places burned down in a fire (athena plan/the settlement vs jaula blanca). both also use symbolism of numbers (nine, twelve, five vs thirteen, four) and use folklore to guide the plot, as well as symbolism in characters' names that makes up their personality.

If you liked Death Note add

...then you might like Ajin add

both are absolutely thrilling rides with a heavy plot and clever excitement. there's cat-and-mouse stuff going on here (L and light/kei's group and sato). the pace of *ajin* isn't nearly as fast-paced as *death note.* both are very psychological and similar in vibe. both shinigamis and IBM/black ghosts have the same concept. *ajin* has a lot more action strong police forces are involved, which serves as a heavy antagonist. both protagonists are anti-heroes. morals of what is good or bad. both show how different the protagonists can be when we see the reasons for acting in such a way.

If you liked Tokyo Ghoul add

...then you might like Ajin add

both series focus on main characters who both become something non-human, that they are afraid of/told to fear, and looked down upon by society, and both want to do something about it. the only difference is that kei nagai in "ajin" was *born* an ajin, while ken kaneki in "tokyo ghoul" *becomes* a ghoul by ghoul-organ transplantation. both heavily discuss the idea of humanity as a whole and both characters' lives are turned around because of their newfound lives. both characters are both kinda unreliable characters but definitely anti-heroes. the only real difference between both series is that tokyo ghoul focuses more on how far it takes for the innocent to break, while ajin asks the question: what would you do if you were tortured for being who you are? and what makes, or qualifies, us as human? overall, they both focus on humanity and what makes us human, as well as what drives us to the point of breaking. if you like psychological thrillers that will have you on the edge of your seats wanting more, then these are for you.
