Gantz addpermalink

Let's see...

-- An endless series of 'play or die' games, where survivors from each game must continue to work together.
-- The enemies in both are aliens... until the aliens start being dicks and make humans fight it out. There's no text-sharing black sphere in Kamisama but the aliens themselves tend to be quite chatty, with the same sort of twisted humour.
-- Almost anyone can die. Getting attached to characters is a bad idea (until Kurono appears in Kamisama with his 100-points, anyhow).
-- No attempt is made to explain why, exactly, people are finding themselves forced to go at it with weird as hell enemies (Gantz goes to shit once info is shared). And a high-schooler slaughtering people with a sword is just normal. Accept it!

Kamisama is a lil' more shounenish than Gantz with its typically average>winrar lead and a girlfriend character or two wanting his 2D dick from the get-go, but it's in the same magazine as Shingeki and there aren't any orange ninjas. I like it.

The games play out more along the lines of Liar Game than Gantz, but with aliens and its sense of humour and level of craziness... read more

Survival games with lots and lots of deaths. The protagonist is the plain marginate and depressive high school guy that wins confidence through the series. 

reportRecommended by BlindNoldor

Manga that involve game in which contestants are trapped somewhere, and are forced to fight each other to death. Contestants often have to fight bizarre aliens that pop out of nowhere. High gore contents in both manga. 

reportRecommended by bunny1ov3r

Both based on school kids and supernatural survival games, which have the characters battling for their lives in weird, tense and dark scenarios. 

They both share the same atmosphere although they differ in the games themselves. Gantz revolves more around action based gun wielding fights, while Kamisama deals with the characters wit and their ability to decipher the 'rules' of each game using their physical strength. Never the less, the main characters must overcome their fears and in turn be courageous in order to survive the wacky games.

The games both share the same weird but wonderful enemies, together you and the characters will be confused but entertained by the entities that they face.

Finally, you never know what will happen to the main characters as they equally keep you second guessing and may have some shock results!

 - Death games where almost everyone dies
 - Weird aliens killing everyone (beat them to stay alive)
 - HIGH gore content
Although in my opinion, Kamisama is based on more of a brain game in which you have to think to win while Gantz is more fighting with guns and brute force, the two are very similar.

High risk survival manga with multiple rounds that differ from each other by one thing or the other. The main character starts out slow and gradually becomes the central figure for everyone's survival.

Btooom! addpermalink

How good are you at playing shooter games online? Good! And what about playing them in real life? Maybe! After all, I'm good online!
What if a young person with no actual combat experience whatsoever was casually dumped into a battle game setting with a unique type of weapon, like in Btooom!? Or an assortment of gory versions of popular traditional games with no means of protection at all, like in Kamisama no Iutoori?
And there will be all sorts of people suffering - or enjoying - the same thing. Can they be trusted or teamed up with, and when will the game end? There is no "quit" button, after all! read more

Mahou Shoujo of the End addpermalink

The beginning of the first chapter was practically identical to Kamisama no Iutoori in regards to the school setting and the main character feeling the boredom of life and hoping for something exciting.....and then the teacher explodes and almost everyone in the classroom follow the same fate. However, it doesn't have that zombie aspect and end of the world apocalypse feeling to it that M.S.o.t.E does. Another point of similarity is that they don't camouflage the blood. The story had a lot in common after I read the first chapter, but the differing drawing styles has an effect on my perception of the seriousness of the situation. If you got hooked on half of the first chapter of Mahou Shoujou of the end, then you can expect the same for Kamisama no iutoori. read more

Deadman Wonderland addpermalink

What these two manga have in common is:

1. The survival factor.

  a.	Both main characters are trapped in crazy situations that they didn’t ask for nor had they ever imagined.
  b.	Their lives are continuously at stake.
  c.	At both stories there is someone superior (with powers or authority ) who decides all those murderous insane games and fights and who treats people just as pawns or puppets.

2. The growth and development of the main character through the story.

3. The main characters of these two stories are very similar to each other

  a.	They both lived in their peaceful and monotonous lives, but than everything is turned upside down with the terrible deaths of their classmates ,where they (main characters) are the only survivors left
  b.	If they want to survive they have to discard their old selves and figure some way out
  c.	They both care very much about their friends and will do anything ,even risk their lives for their protection and safety 
  d.	They both have a girl best friend they know since childhood
  e.	They both want revenge. They both want to punish those who made their lives miserable and make them pay. 

4. Too much violence, blood ,gore.

La Mosca addpermalink

May the hunt begin! A signed contract in La Mosca forces you to work on an abomination-infested island with a corrupt leader. In Kamisama no Iutoori, the misfortune of being a student binds you to participate in an unending series of supernatural survival games.
In order to survive, the protagonists can accomplish their goals on their own or put their trust into others, working together, in the hopes of staying alive and putting an end to their struggles.
These worlds will focus on how... well that goes.

Torikago no Tsugai addpermalink

Either you play according to the rules, or you're maimed or worse. And if you lose, you're probably dead. It is vital to trust your partner, but can you really just trust anybody? You will have to decide, but fast!
While Torikago gives you a comrade and links you two with a chain, Kamisama will blindly toss death at you in a smorgasbord of game types. But you won't be safe, either way, so rest assured.

Shingeki no Kyojin addpermalink

In both the charactares have to constantly struggle for survival. The origin of the threat is a mistery. SnK is more of a battle manga, KnI a survival game. Although labeled as shounen, they sometimes fit better in the seinen genre (like quite a few series in Bessatsu Shounen Magazine). Both are amazing reads and feel similar.

Aphorism addpermalink

Blood! Slaughter! Survival! In both manga the students are forced to participate in many life or death trials by a so called God. The god in both stories are mysterious and all powerful and are kind of interested in the main characters. Both main characters has his own unique strength that helps him get through the trials. The trials in both stories are well thought out and exciting.

Although the history is kind of different we notice that in both cases  the main character are forced to fight for their life and using any means for it. Another similarity is the way that the drawing is exposed; with violence in an adequate quantity
