Billy Bat

Both are written and drawn by Urusawa Naoki, and has the unique Urusawa feeling.
They are both about a "mystery" of sorts, as well as a conspiracy that threatens the world. Billy Bat has some supernatural elements and is more of a historical manga set during the 50s-60s.
Since they are done by the same mangaka, they both have the same art styles and kind of feel to them, and each throws a multitude of regular people into a conspiracy much larger than themselves that encompasses the world.
Both are written Naoki Urasawa. 20th Century Boys and Billy Bat has a magnificent story covering a variety of themes. In both series, there is also suspense that creates interest with mysterious events. The main characters' lives gets intertwined with these events especially with the main male protagonist. From there on and out, they discover abnormalities that will change their lives forever.
Both series are written by the same author. Due to this the art (very well done in my opinion) looks alike in both series. The stories both center around a main character who is trying to figure out something that happened in the past. Both stories are very well written. Be prepared to be amazed yet another time by Naoki Urasawa at his best!
The stories both start off as simple stories about simple people,
but then unravel and throw our protagonist into a complex conspiracy
that the whole world is in on.
The protagonists feel like they have to fight the whole world alone.
Both stories have an enormous prophetic story-line throughout and every turn and twist is gripping and suspenseful.
If you're interested in mysteries, history, and the seinen genre then these two are both a real treat for you. Naoki Urasawa doesn't lack in making the reader understand as well as grow with his protagonist in his stories. I highly recommend this if you enjoyed Billy Bat.
