While Girls Last Tour is more calming (lack of action) and more moe, they've both similiar artistic of Post Apocalyptic vibes. They both have journey through the remnant of their ancestor. The building on both manga are also interesting.  

reportRecommended by LoLyeah

Very similar post-apocalyptic vibes and themes. 

reportRecommended by triton6783

Blame! was a big influence for Girls' Last Tour as stated by the creator herself in an interview, even borrowing ideas like calling the world a 'megastructure' or 'city'. They both share similar atmospheres, art and the main concept of a pair travelling through a bleak, unexplained post-apocalyptic future, but Blame!'s an action-packed story with few dialogues, whereas Girl's Last Tour has a more soothing, slow feel to it tinged with existential musings.  

reportRecommended by Satyr_icon

Both are very atmospheric, using the full potential of their scenery, which are mostly huge buildings that emphasize how frightening their worlds are and how lonely and helpless the characters be in their journey. Blame is more vague and subjective while Girls' Last Tour discuss deeper his themes, but both visually deliver a great immersion into their worlds and in the journey of the characters. 

reportRecommended by DA-TN

Mostly empty megacity
MC(s) basically always alone traveling
actually meet other characters a few times though
Obscure goal for the journey 
Turns from slice of life travelling to grim suddenly towards the end
art is focused a lot on mechanical designs and the sheer size of the megacity
Not much text, more art (Blame having even more art/text ratio)
Not very long to read the entire thing 

reportRecommended by Comander-07

Travelling through remnants of long go civilizations and their encounters with its inhabitants make up most of the series. 

reportRecommended by Bhaam

Both stories involve a pair moving through an apocalyptic world, they don't explain the cause of the Apocalypse but instead show how the characters live through it, where they learn and craft their own journey. Blame! differs being a hardcore violent cyberpunk built around the idea of escapism. While Girls' Last Tour is a much gentler iyashikei manga that goes to focus more on the characters interaction with the world as they learn and discover things of the past. Overall, if your looking for a story built from a journey through an apocalyptic world, you will likely enjoy both series.

A melancholy post-apocalyptic series about a pair of wanderers amidst the vast ruins of a long-dead civilisation.

Biomega addpermalink

Both are dystopian sci-fi manga with minimalistic dialogue, created by Tsutomu Nihei. If you ever feel like being awed by the best artwork in the medium, then check these out. They also have the best panelling that I have seen from any manga. It looks and feels like an action movie. Just be prepared for the despair and depression contained in the story.

Dorohedoro addpermalink

The artist of Dorohedoro was an assistant to Tsutomu Nihei, author of BLAME!

That aside, you have a dystopian future with antiheroes, aberrant mutations and so on, but there are differences too.

For one, Dorohedoro has magic, and the story has a lot  of black humor and even a little charming romance thrown in. 

Another point is the art style of Dorohedoro: I can only describe it as 'unique', and it might take some getting used to .. it sort of evokes BLAME! but in its own way, you'll see if you check it out.
Now, the art is extremely well drawn & very detailed, it looks amazing in print but the online versions usually are not up to par so beware. read more

Fire Punch addpermalink

Both series are set in an utter alien and yet somehow familiar world after the end of civilization as we know it. The cast of each manga consists of a bunch of weird but memorable individuals and the main characters wield powerful forms of technology beyond normal human understanding. The stories of the two series with their numerous twists might seem convoluted, even confusing at times, but there is genius in this madness. 

The lecture of Blame! and Fire Punch will leave you both satisfied and disappointed, while simultaneously unleashing a maelstrom of conflicting emotions.

After the apocalypse there are still oppresors, refugees, greed and life-missions that will make Killy (BLAME!) and Nausicaä (duh) experience countless of battles in worlds beyond our imagination.

Blame! is more action-oriented and defenetly more nihilist while Nausicaä more idealistic and misantrophic

Abara addpermalink

The same creator (Tsutomu Nihei), which in its turn means the same stunning visual style,  mind-blowing action, atmosphere of postapocalyptic cyberpunk, the way of storytelling, and pretty similar characters. Even though it doesn't seem to be officially related (like Biomega, NOiSE, and NSE) because of so many similarities I would even go as far as considering Abara a Blame! spinoff.

Sidonia no Kishi addpermalink

The story takes place in a city where it's said that has thousands of levels.
In a shutdown area, thousands of levels overlap each other, you couldn't tell the sky from the ground and you couldn't tell which way is up or which way is down. Maybe the original purpose of this story is to unravel the mysteries bound in this time and world. For the humans who found this vast rare multi-level city, the mysterious main character "Kirii" wanders to search for the "Net Terminal Genes" that were not infected.

Although the plots are totally different, both deal with really big time scales beyond the length of a single lifetime.

Harmony addpermalink

Both series share the same spirit.
The themes addressed directly and the settings vary drastically. On one hand, we have a lone protagonist navigating an infinite space that has now forgotten humanity; on the other hand, there's a protagonist suffocated by people and technology.

Both series depict the interaction of humans with a dystopian reality tainted by technology.
Both provide insights into the state of "human identity" in a hyper-technological era.

I believe... Not coincidentally, both series begin with graphics reminiscent of pseudo-XML, an idiomatic element of technology that during those years (late 90s - 2000s) was slowly permeating everyone's lives.

Berserk addpermalink

If you enjoyed the lonely vagabond aspects of Berserk, you'll definitely enjoy Blame!. In many ways Blame! is what Berserk would have been if it was set in an alternative future instead of an alternative past. Lots of great action, detailed and gritty art, and painful loss.

Kamigami no Itadaki addpermalink

These two materials stand out for their highly detailed art and a sense of gigantic. The first one by an endless megastructure exploration, the second by the disproportionate peak summits ascend. Protagonists looks cold hearthed and lonely, but nevertheless human, wander through these outsized environments, cold and fascinating, both dizzying and anxiety-provoking. The danger of death constantly hangs over them. Although these two series are demanding, the mystery and excessness keep the reader on the edge of his seat from beginning to end.

Houseki no Kuni addpermalink

First of all, these are two very different manga. Blame! is a futuristic exploration hi-tech sci-fi while Houseki no Kuni is isekai(of a sort) where gems fight with swords against mysterious enemies.
The similarities are in some themes:
* In both the characters are technically sexless creatures. In Blame! most of the characters are Cyborgs that never talk about genders or affection of any kind. In Houseki no Kuni the characters are humanoid gems that lack any sex organs and live for hundreds of years without a mention of any sexual affection. 
* In both time is hard to tell. Sometimes years or hundreds of years pass without a mention.
* In both there is a character that changes body/bodies. In Blame! there is a character that build a new body for themselves several times. In Houseki no Kuni there is a character that loses parts of their body and with them part of their memory and then replace these parts with new ones. read more

Both are unconventional yet compelling stories that take place in a world similar yet significantly different to our own and show a definite influence by European comics (French for BLAME!, Italian for Tekkon Kinkreet).

Aria addpermalink

No, seriously. Aria deals with hope and discovering the wonders of it's world while BLAME! deals with despair and the devastating dystopia created from hundreds of years of terraforming (hey just like planet Aqua). Complete opposites. So... why am I recommending these? Despite different themes and settings I feel that if you found one enjoyable than the other might be worth looking into if you're open minded. Just don't expect "Ara aras" and "Punyaas" from BLAME!, it's more *BANG BANG* and *WALK WALK*. They each have beautiful art and scenery. Each mangaka has a great sense for scale and architectural design which really immerse the reader into their world. read more

Both manga have protagonists that do plenty of walking on their free time. The Walking Man could be summed up as "stop and smell the roses" while BLAME! could be summed up as "stop and shoot the cyborg killing machines".

Transhuman warriors locked in a battle for survival against hordes of genocidal monstrosities.

Two no-nonsense series loaded with fast-paced action but without the bitter aftertaste of excessive drama and didactic sermons that plague many shounen titles. Both feature taciturn and somewhat amoral protagonists who survive against all odds in order to fulfill their personal missions, with the fate of the world hanging in balance as well.
