Elfen Lied

Variante

~Both manga have blood, gore, and much pain, both mentally and physically.
~They both have organizations that do cruel and inhumane testing on people, and there are 'monsters' which cause the deaths of many people.
~They both also go deeper within the character's mind and show how what's happening affects them.
~The characters and/or main characters are also female.
Elfen Lied and Variante are similar because they're both about humans with superhuman powers, caged as lab rats. Both of the main characters have some attachment to a deep buried past, and both the of main characters are afraid of their own gifts and try to escape the facility.
Strange girls come into the lives of ordinary (or not) men.
Countless deaths and a tragic conclusion to both.
Gory, really, and some mystery deep down even though Variante has a shorter story.
