-Both have very similar story structures, where groups of characters slay demons/curses. -Both are action packed shonen manga with overall darker horror vibes. -Both have sets of memorable characters. -Both have great art styles, the characters are well designed and dressed in a stylish way. -Both stories take place in urban style Tokyo settings.

Dorohedoro is the older, less-famous version of Chainsaw Man (incidentally, it ended the same year as CSM started... Coincidence?! Probably) The setups are slightly different, but the execution is nearly identical - Socially inept protagonist with a transformation that turns them into brutal monsters, check, dark urban setting, check, loads of dark comedy, check, the protagonist being tasked with killing hordes of destructive monsters, check and the list goes on. Chainsaw Man's approach is slightly more psychological, balancing out the drama with brutal action more carefully compared to Dorohedoro's more stylish and somewhat less sentimental approach. CSM is a shonen, so it won't explore its dark themes

Similar nonstop action with even more beautiful art. And you never know what comes next.

Both come from the same author. Fujimoto's storytelling is one of a kind. Stories are different in many ways, but the core ideas, such as deep breakdown of characters minds, portrayal of fragility of human lives (even main characters'), and last but not least, very metal and detailed violence.

Humans and human-demons use amazing abilities and familiars to battle each other.

If you really loved the dark vibe of Chainsaw Man and also read Jujutsu Kaisen, then you're going to love this manga. These 3 manga's are known as the dark trio of shounen, and as this is the 3rd member you understand where it's going. My favorite part of Jigokuraku is the cast, they make the story inteesting and the best reason to keep reading.

Similar in some regards, while Chainsaw Man feels way lighter in the pursuit of feeling some oppai it does have great action scenes and a decent dose of seriousness, the thing farther from Berserk tho it's the loneliness feeling and a certain realism within it that Chainsaw Man does not have. 
reportRecommended by OfficialRage
They both feature protagonists who are part human, part devil who battle/hunt other devils. They both have great art work and feature adequate gore.  
reportRecommended by JVskunkape
Main character suddenly gets demon powers and dragged into a world of demons. The powers they get are from an insanely strong demons feared by the other characters and demons. Both set in a form of Japan with an organisation set up to get rid of those monsters. 
reportRecommended by SteamedPlague
Both series feature very brutal and detailed violence. They also focus on their characters' minds, issues and trauma. Chainsaw Man has very edgy and childish gags, but they seem more influenced by western humour so even non veterans can enjoy it.

Similarities (considering After God just started for now): √ Aesthetically pleasing artstyle. √ Clever depiction of fantasy prompt/concept. √ Overpowered characters in amazing character design. √ Diverse personalities that makes the story interesting, which lead to funny and entertaining interactions between the characters.

The design of the monsters/ creatures are very similar to one another. Abara is a bit more gruesome/ dark and Chainsaw Man has more comedic elements.  
reportRecommended by driveknight
In both manga: - the protagonist is part of a group of people tasked with slaying bizarre supernatural foes in a modern urban environment; - the battles get quite violent and brutal; - there is an underlying agenda about their fights; - protagonist's character experience growth along the way; - features drama that brings a tear to my eye.

Inhumanly-strong human boy sucked into the world of monsters, and made to take down goon after goon for a pretty lady he serves. Ayashimon didn't have enough time to fully develop its characters, but from its short 25-chapter run, it showed promising potential that could have very well bloomed into a wonderful story with powerful character dynamics and world building similar to what Chainsaw Man accomplished.

Unpredictability at its finest. Both of these stories can be gruesome, epic, make you laugh and feel uncomfortable all at the same time. Nobody is safe from anything and that makes for two of the most exhilarating experiences you can ask for in manga. 
reportRecommended by Papa_Gen
Both manga involve a protagonist who has lost someone very important to them and who has a certain being inside of them yet joins a team who fights against said kind of being. 
reportRecommended by MeanMrMusician
If you enjoyed chainsaw man I feel like this Assasin-filled world will definitely bring you a lot of enjoyment. The thing that Sakamoto Days delivers on is definitely a sense of action and urgency in fights while always finding a comedic undertone to just make you die of laughter while flipping through the pages.

Special humans with the power of monsters, plot twists and details that become important later. 
reportRecommended by cr0ybot
The story isn't similar actually, but the thing that I think is pretty similar is the panelling. Both panelling are very cinematic and very creative. 
reportRecommended by HEBI_TAN
Both are action packed series with tons of gore in them, what else is there to say? 
reportRecommended by OnyxSaiyan
-Similar dark and at times hopeless atmosphere -Psychological and existential, with a lot of depressing themes -Consistently explaining motivations behind everyone's action without imposing generic set of morals -Similar art -Similar protagonists (If you ever happened to read these two at the same time you'd see many parallels between Denji and Reiji: Besides being blonde, frail , depressed 17-year olds finding themselves in hopeless circumstances, and with bleak outlooks in future, they are susceptible to influences of others and some of the main part of plot progression is them being taken advantage of/toyed by manipulative people, who happen to be female villain-protagonists -Same "hot_garbage_dumpster_fire_I_wonder_what_is_going_to_happen_next" factor Those who enjoyed one

We all know that Chainsaw Man is a badass, absurd, insane, violent, majestic and fucking cool manga. But I would also love to recommend Tatsuki Fujimoto's other recent work: Sayonara, Eri (or Goodbye, Eri)! A story where the protagonist creates a movie that everyone hated, but apparently a girl named Eri says she loved it, and would love to help him making a new movie! It's a manga with a great pace, extremely metalinguistic quotes balanced with Fujimoto's special touch of fantasy and an absolutely mind-blowing ending! Read it, you'll like it a lot guys!

-Both protagonists start out as country kids before moving into a larger society as a whole and joining an organization that sends them on battle missions -Both are extremely bloody and gore-filled, adding flare and dramatic impact -Both deal with similar heavy themes, which I can't disclose here in the interest of not spoiling the story

-Both have very similar settings and story structures. -The characters have special abilities, are part of an organization and they fight against demons/monsters. -Both take place in urban style Tokyo settings. 
reportRecommended by alpha_shadow
The inicial plot is similar, the difference is monsters and demons. The main character was turned into a humanoid monster during a fight and now he works for an institution that deals with people who have also turned into monsters. Both have good violence and bizarre monsters. 
reportRecommended by NCYTNR
Both series blend deep dives into characters' personalities and mental trauma with humour. ChSM is to OPM like rebelious brother. ChSM humour is more edgy and immature and the portrayal of violence and psychology is more brutal, messier, uglier. Both have very creative character designs and splendid chemistry between them. 
reportRecommended by NorbiSenpai
Protagonists fuse with a not so evil alien/devil. They save each other's lives and grow as people. 
reportRecommended by MegaUltraTom
- Very similar monster designs - Both very brutal and have cool fights - Both are dark fantasies - In both you have a mysterious organisation behind - Some parts in Chainsaw Man really made me think again about Claymore 
reportRecommended by Griff-ith
-They're both darker violent manga, but they have interesting characters that lighten up the mood. -They both have similar presentation styles (art, character designs, setting) -In Chainsaw Man, the main character has a chainsaw head. In No Guns Life the main character has a revolver gun head.

The endless everyday as a live fulfillment achievement, questioned by the death of those we love. 
reportRecommended by FlohIsAGod
Both have hot headed yet simple minded heroes with sharp teeth. Both are thrust into unknown and mysterious organisations early on which completely changes their lives. Both have great art styles and character designs. 
reportRecommended by JVskunkape
Almost exact same premise of a corporation with the objective to hunt some existential threat to humans. Both have the concept of hunters using the abilities of the threat. Also, characters similar to each (just with different motivations) can be found in both. Note: For Toyko Ghoul:re make sure to read Tokyo Ghoul beforehand.

Both stories are set in a dark, unforgiving world, where life is fleeting and death lurks at every corner. Both stories are extremely fast pace, unpredictable, and constantly subvert your expectations, giving you a very thrilling experience. Both stories feature morally grey main character. Supporting cast is well developed. and Villains in both stories are merciless yet endearing. Both stories feature strong mystery elements. and will leave you in anticipation as schemes and revelations unravel. Chainsaw Man does this a lot quicker than HxH but doesn't compromise its storytelling quality or impact in doing so
