Manga 33327 Tokyo Ghoul Userrecs

Built around a dark premise, Ajin and Tokyo Ghoul tell a story of supernatural horror. The main male protagonist tragically realizes the life he knows will be changed forever after one faithful day. Throughout both series, they struggle with their human nature. They also get involved with other supernatural beings with psychological tendencies played out in their perspective stories. If you're interested in horror with plot twists and struggling with inner demon paths, then I would suggest to give these two titles a try. 

The story, atmosphere, themes, and characters in both Tokyo Ghoul and Ajin are similar in my opinion.  

Both revolve around two groups living side by side: humans & ajins; humans & ghouls - where ajins and ghouls are considered to be 'inhumane' and 'monsters', but have the appearance of humans meaning it is considerably difficult to tell them apart. The mangas tell the stories of young boys who get caught up in this whole human vs. 'monsters', and find themselves either fully or 'partly' on the side of being a monster. They both have considerable (a lot) amount of gore, death, etc. and are of dark themes. They are enjoyable reads that are sure to maintain your attention with their art styles - although Ajin has better art.  

I must clear the air from the other Ajin review. Ajin is more shounen then seinen, and the art gives it much more of that feel too. I saved Ajin to read after TG because of the recommendation saying the first chapter of TG was slower but this was not the case. I don't even think Ajin is darker. I much preferred Tokyo Ghoul. With that said I think it's worth it to try reading Ajin. Both have monsters in human form, gore, and relations between monsters and humans that are fairly interesting, and monster-monster interpersonal relationships. Ajin took longer for me to really get into it, which is the opposite of what the other person said. But I'm all caught up as of writing this review and I'm definitely into it now. Sadly, Tokyo Ghoul has cannibalism which was a major attraction for me, but Ajin I made it through on its own merits well enough, so hopefully you'll think to give it a try!  

Both manga are similar as they explore, the dark side of human nature . both of these manga are about Demi- human , While tokyo Ghoul is about a half human and half ghoul , Ajin is about a boy who find out he a immortal Ajin . While the art in Ajin is better , the story and atmosphere in Tokyo ghoul is darker and better . their both good read so read them if you get the chance  

Both have a dark theme and both have a male non-human main character. Some gore here and there and the Psychological genre is strong in both mangas. 

Very Smart Schoolboy suddenly goes from Average Teen to No Longer Human and must cope with being hunted by society as well as a changing set of morals. He must find AND come to terms with his new unique place in the world - he is no longer human, but he doesn't quite fit with the Not Humans either. Also there's a load of blood and violence and animal instinct and emotional turmoil all under the everpresent theme of ADAPT OR DIE. (Tokyo Ghoul has more of the wild emotional trauma/distress and Ajin has some amazing deadened emotions - both styles are executed very well and I really enjoy them)  

it's both male main characters both the main character in ajin and in tokyo ghoul have supernatural powers (immortality, super strength and so on) both stories is taking place in tokyo or nearby. when i was reading ajin the first manga that came to mind was tokyo ghoul. they share the same vibe and the art is stunning in both manga's. 

"Why must one die?" is a question in both series. There are creatures called "ghouls" in Tokyo Ghoul and "demi-humans" in Ajin. They share the similar dark theme where humans hunt these creature. The main protagonists in both series has seen the perspective of humans and are turned suddenly into the other creature. 

Both of these are about a maincharacter that first lives as a human but later turns into a non-human creature that is feared by humans and struggles with their existence. Even though the MC's personalities are very different and TG has a lot more characters than Ajin both have a lot of horror + mystery, are very interesting and have good characters. 

If you like the world of Tokyo Ghoul, then you would most likely enjoy the setting of Ajin. After all, in this story, an ordinary boy turns into an Ajin (just like how Kaneki Ken turned into a ghoul) only to experience the frightening cruelty of the world. 

A world where a certain kind of individuals are being persecuted and hunted, and an MC that gets thrust into that world, becoming one of them without having a choice. 

It's pretty much like tokyo ghoul except better and less edgier 

If you liked Tokyo Ghoul’s chaotic prompt to have the protagonist find out they are a deviant species, you will certainly like Ajin. They both have intricate systems of how their supernatural beings work which is enjoyable if you like gore (and biology, of course.) Additionally, they both dwell deeply in psychological and sociological themes—specifically if it is alright to sacrifice a minority for the sake of the whole. Character-wise, unlike melodramatic Kaneki Ken, Nagai Kei is an extremely pragmatic and detached character. Though scared at first, Nagai never lets his emotions cloud his judgment and comes up with outstanding strategies unlike Kaneki who often lashes out (Centipede? Dragon?) Both are also extremely overpowered compared to others of their kin. Another thing worth pointing out is the art. Personally, I find TG’s art to be quite unmemorable compared to its sequel TGre: (read it, for art’s sake). Though TG’s art could deliver its impact at certain points, it falls short in comparison to Ajin’s art where there is a cathartic moment in every other chapter (really.)  

Both have nonhuman creatures (who seem to be normal at plain site) who've been thrown into a world where they're constantly fighting to live. The protagonists are alike in the whole fighting for their own humanity thing (though it's dealt with that quite distinctly). Both stories question life and death and what they really mean. Overall I found both series to have a similar appeal to them while simultaneously doing their own thing.  

The story/plot setup is very similar to each other. Both main characters are looked down on and/or treated harshly because of what they become unwillingly. At the start, it would seem like a Tokyo Ghoul rip off but the story does differ after a few chapters. Still, mostly anyone who likes TG would like Ajin. (I would throw in the Hide - Kaito similarities as well but...) 

When people die they have a small chance to be brought back to life. these people are called "Ajins" or Demi-Humans they are hunted by japans scientists. Ajin and Tokyo ghoul are very similar when it comes to ghouls and ajins. I would describe ajin as a combination of "Death Note" and "Tokyo Ghoul". 

-Both are set in a version of modern day Japan in which there is some sort of paranormal threat to humanity (Ghouls & Devils) -Both have some sort of bureau organized to defeat these threats -Both main characters are transformed into half human half paranormal entity due to a grave injury -Both deal with similar heavy themes, which I can't disclose here in the interest of not spoiling the story 

Similar style of story with ghouls and devils, with the main character sort of being to both worlds (humans and ghouls/devils) at the same time. Lots of gore and fights. Lots of insane characters and a police sort of institution. 

-both feature coming of age main characters who become a hybrid human and monster -one MC loves literature and the other MC loves movies, and both manga are heavily influenced by books and movies respectively -both have an incredibly emotive, scratchy, and flowy artstyle -both stories are feature incredibly tragic thing to happen to the main character -both main characters have their lives ruined by being manipulated into loving someone evil -both manga have a sequel manga -both manga are incredibly dark and bloody, and don't shy away from showing nudity and sex -both have well developed and non-objectified female characters 

cause this is a semi-apocalictical world with a cute principal character and this is half human and demon 

Chainsaw Man and Tokyo Ghoul run thematically parallel in many ways exploring primitive survival, social outcasts and dehumanising organisations. While the main characters Denji and Kaneki share a similar backstories, Denji's manages to be more tragic but at the same time less pitiful. Characters in Chainsaw Man are decently fleshed out though not as thoroughly characterised as those in Tokyo Ghoul, and the humour is significantly more vulgar and absurd. Where Chainsaw Man stakes its claim over Tokyo Ghoul would be the lack of melodrama hammering home of tragedy that often renders Tokyo Ghoul tiresome and replaces it with adrenaline. 

Both deals with an MC who transforms into a devil and now they have to adjust to that 

They are both very gore, i read Tokyo Ghoul first and i thought it would be the best manga i ever read and then i started reading Chainsaw Man and changed my mind.. 

Both have similar style and design. Not very long chapters. Both are very easy read with lots of action and amazing art. Both are tragic stories told in a very unique way. Both have amazing endings as well that pave way for a sequel without giving off the vibe of being incomplete in any way . And finally, imo, both are masterpieces. 

Both have a very bloody and edgy taste to them but they are still extremely entertaining while remaining very descriptive and poetic 

- Both series have creatures that feed on humans. Ghouls in Tokyo Ghoul and Devils in Chainsaw Man. - Both the protagonists, Kaneki and Denji have their lives changed forever by encounter of some life-threatening incident. - Both the Protagonists end up fusing with the "monsters" they previously despised. - Both series have evil organizations that want to use the MCs powers for themselves. - A lot of side characters also have similar character sketches. 

funny guy do funny gore and kill 

Tokyo Ghoul and Chainsaw Man both have protags that have been severely changed and altered due to an outside force, and must live somehow with it. On top of that, it's gory for those who love gory anime and has a nice plot that will make you continue reading. 

Both have society blent with inhumans, Both has two sides (human and inhuman), Plot itself may differ but their themes are same. 

Kiseijuu = Parasyte Parasyte and Tokyo Ghoul both involve male protagonists who wake up one day... different... One turned into a ghoul... while the other simply had an alien for an arm. And by alien, I mean a life form that has 100% control of the arm for most of the day. Coexisting and dealing with others who are similar to them, both characters have to live in the same world... with a completely flipped perspective. Tokyo Ghoul is more supernaturalesque/fantasy and more gritty Parasyte is more scifi-ish and psychological Both have action and they are both great reads. Parasyte though is not a bishounen read. It's not pretty... or rather... it's from the late 80's early 90's.. so... it's much much more realistic. I liked Parasyte a lot more than I did TG, but both are great great reads. :D  

Although the stories are different, Kiseijuu and Tokyo Ghoul shares a familiarity with supernatural horror. The main male protagonist's life changes forever after one faithful day after coming in contact with a supernatural being. And from that experience, they inherit traits that no longer makes them fully human. Throughout both series' perspective stories, the MC struggles to at times to figure out how to deal with his newfound life. At times, they face obstacles but also find new hope. They must also accept who they are as well as realizing the truths/consequences of what they have become. I recommend both series for anyone interested in supernatural horror.  

after reading both i would say tokyo ghoul is inspired from Parasyte more over i would go ahead and say it is a rip off (tokyo ghoul: re is a different story) -main guy becomes a HALF parasyte/ghoul -there is a Anti parasyte/ghoul police force -both the police force engage in a all out battle against parasyte/ghoul -majority of the parasyte/ghouls get wiped out -both have grotesqueness (limb, head, etc torn into pieces) -endings are a bit different coz tokyo ghoul had to continue....BUT both are GOOD READS 

In both, there are male main characters, whose normal lives are interrupted by terrible twist of events. They are both becoming something between a human and a monster, and are struggling with their fate and their own new selves. Kiseijuu and Tokyo Ghoul share a great amount of bloody fights, well done character development and mystery. I would definitely recommend both of them. 

While the story of the main characters is slightly different these two are very similar manga and the anime adaptions will also be similar. Both are about a boy who is suddenly met with a strange being in their life and must come to terms with the new abilities that come with this fated meeting. Both feature the struggle of each person's morals and beliefs as they come to accept what they are and use the new abilities they posses to fight a foe. Both are especially violent and gut-wrenching seinen manga with very dark themes and people being split in half and eaten.   

The main characters both have to go face hard obstacles and the series are both psychological and the two main characters get put into a hard situation  

Both are about an ordinary high school boy who acquires some kind of evil unknown power and wants to get rid of it, until it accepts it at some point. Both have a lot of gory elements as that "evil power" has the tendency to kill people. 

Schoolboy suddenly goes from Average Teen to No Longer Human and must cope with being hunted by society as well as a changing set of morals. He must find AND come to terms with his new unique place in the world - he is no longer human, but he still experiences Humanity so he doesn't quite fit in with the Not Humans either. Also there's a load of blood and violence and animal instinct and emotional turmoil followed by emotional numbing all under the everpresent theme of ADAPT OR DIE. Both offer really interesting takes on the place of Humans in the world as a species, but take their conclusions in vastly different directions. Both are executed beautifully.  

An ordinary high-school/college student gets turned into a monster by an unfortunate accident; this pretty much mirrors the main plot of these two seinen mangas. Both also deal with how the main characters struggle to preserve their slowly declining senses of humanity as more things happen due to their new nature. While I enjoyed Tokyo Ghoul more, both mangas are nice reads. 

Both share similar aspects of the main character undergoing a huge transformation and the struggles of hiding their secret  

Tokyo Ghoul obviously took a great deal of inspiration from Parasyte, from the 'monsters' who need to eat humans to survive to the human who becomes part of both worlds (sort of...) though Tokyo Ghoul has more of a culture with its monsters as opposed to Parasyte, where the monsters don't really have time to establish a culture that we see much of.  

The basic idea behind the plot is similar. The two main characters have many common features. 

Both of the MCs are not completely controlled by the “invasive” species, instead only a part of them is and they share qualities between the invasive species and humans— you could say they are somewhat the bridge between the two. Both MCs experience a similar breakdown in their respective manga after they find out they are the invasive species, and both refuse to kill to satisfy their hunger for humans. Also both Ghouls and Parasites eat humans. Both manga have gore. 

Both main characters are struggling to find their real identity. They have to deal with the unwanted power that is given to them and have to live through it as they unravel the secrets and mysteries of the environment that they're currently living. Uncertainty , confusion, and acceptance. 

An introverted student is unwillingly given supernatural powers by a woman which makes them have to feed on other humans. The struggle of protagonists trying to find their place in both worlds is shown. Both share the horror/psychological genre and have a similar artstyle of detailed, yet crude. 

Both MC are attacked by girls and lose their humanity. Both MC want to protect his friends. Both mangás have violence and blood. 

MC is changed into something that preys on humans, and goes through psychological turmoil. 

- The synopsis speaks for itself - - Similar tone in both manga's first chapter - - While Tokyo Ghoul leaned more towards the action/fight part, Happiness focused more on the psychological aspect 

Both focus around characters who get entagled into the world of monsters after a chance encoutner has turned them into one. 

Both about a introverted teen turning into a different being. They struggle to find themselves and strive to protect the ones closest to them. Also many gory and bloddy scenes. Both great overall. 

they both involve two young men suddenly finding themselves as more than human. the story contents are two separate beasts but the overall tone of the stories are very similar. 

A boy's life is turned upside down by an older, beautiful woman who is actually a monster. The boy has a friend who stays aside after he becomes a monster and he meets another girl who becomes a dear friend (perhaps love interest). The protagonist has crises trying to understand whether he is human or a monster. I love stories like this. 

Tokyo ghoul made me think about deadman wonderland the themes and dark pasts and the main being given a power they dont want thats the kind of stuff that makes these similar Both mains have been forced into a different world with weird powers by someone but they both will aim for something different in the plot the characters in both series are very different from eachother so i cant compare that 

both have this dark atmosphere, where the main character get involved in a dangerous situation, gets huge powers and gets thrown into a crazy world to survive 

bloody stories. both main characters gain weird powers and have to deal with a "new world" after this; in both stories a girl will help the MC, the the opposite also happens. surviving to the mentioned "new world" is also part of both plots 

Psychedelic, brutality, violence, developed characters. 

These are both very similar manga in my personal opinion - the mc are both young boys living everyday lives when their lives are suddenly turned upside down. They then have to learn to adjust to their new lives, and have to deal with tragedy and heartbreak along the way. Both manga are very dark and contain a lot of violence, and just have an overall very similar feel. If you're looking for something more mature, and like one of these manga, then I recommend the other.  

Both tell a story of the protagonist getting caught up in a life-or-death situation with supernatural beings, and their tragic backstories. Deadman Wonderland has stunning visuals, constant plot twists and the reveal near the end is amazing. Also both their Manga counterparts are better than the anime. 

This story like the young sibling of Tokyo Ghoul Both are wonderful in framing human feelings and thoughts Both are recommended to who admire psychology tag 

I feel that Tokyo Ghoul is based off of Deadman. without to many spoilers: -Both follow young male leaders were there thrust into a world they don't understand after a thing happens, making them into an setting's "monster". -The "monsters" have unique powers that are all based around manipulation of a body part -one of the MC's first allies is a Sword/Blade user -there is a Bird Motif and the last generation's "Strongest Monster" is referred to as "The Owl" -there is a secrete police of Anit-Monster soldiers who are the Good Guys on paper but are horrible people and there are a few more similarities without needing to get into spoilery specifics   

In each series, there is a threat to the human race. Titans in one, Ghouls in the other. Humans are making efforts to combat them, but the threat always lingers. Both main characters are caught up in trying to figure out what exactly are these creatures and their existence in the world. It is impossible for humans to coincide with these non-human creatures, or is it really? Both Shingeki no Kyojin and Tokyo Ghoul leave you wanting to find out more. Each of them has a dark tone to it, which is very fitting. There are some things you see coming, others not so much. Each main character has more to him than meets the eye, through certain circumstances. If you like one you would probably enjoy the other plenty.  

"Am I human or not?", It's the question that both protagonists of these two series are trying to find in one way or another, each story take a place in a total different time from the other so different weapons and technology development; even so they share in the existence of some fiction-made creatures(titans and ghouls), with Eren (SNK) and Kaneki (Tokyo Ghoul) sharing the same fear through the story...the terror of eating a human !!!. 

There are some similar themes between both series such as asking who the real monster is along with suffering and despair. I find the main protagonists to be somewhat similar, though Eren is more about vengeance and Ken is more kind hearted. Not to mention they both become the monsters they feared the most. The level of violence in both is also similar, though I have to say I like the fights in Tokyo Ghoul better. If you're looking for a good horror action manga with a similar vibe to Shingeki no Kyojin, this is the manga for you. 

-In both stories, humanity trys to defend itself from getting eaten by mysterious, creepy creatures that feed on human flesh. -The walls in Attack on Titan isolate everyone from the rest of the world. Ghouls are only in Tokyo, Japan (I might be wrong) which isolates Tokyo from the rest of Japan and the world with dealing with ghouls. - Eren and Kaneki lose their fathers and mothers at a young age. -Eren and Kaneki are able to become the monsters they fear/hate the most. - Eren and Kaneki both accept they are Titan and Ghoul and defeat Jason and Annie. Kaneki eats Jason and Eren tears open Annie's neck, almost devouring her. -They both have dedication to protect the people they care about. -Both of them have a sad, dark childhood. Kaneki was mentally and physically abused by his mother and Eren brutally killed two kidnappers, saving Mikasa. MIKASA AND TOUKA : -Both badass and brave and they are not afraid of making difficult choices. -They are both strong and decently powerful -Both are serious and don't usually smile alot -Both are feared -Mikasa cares for Eren in a big sister way but actually has feelings for him. Touka acts like a mean, stubborn friend who might have feelings for Kaneki. -Mikasa made Eren eat bread by shoving it into his mouth and Touka made Kaneki eat human flesh by shoving it into his mouth. ARMIN AND HIDE: -Both are friends of the main, male protagonist -Both seem useless at first but Armin turns out to be a good strategist and tactician and Hide is able to work his way into the CCG to locate and see Kaneki. JUUZOU AND HANJI : SIMILARITIES: -Both are crazy, wild and free spirited but can be serious when they need to be. -Both fight for the sake of humanity -Both are trap characters due to the fact that when Juuzou was introduced, he looked like a girl who turned out to be a boy and Hanji (in the manga) seems like a girl but could be a guy.  

A cruel world. An unfair world. A diverse world. Why is the world so unjust? Why is it that we need to face hardships over and over and over? These two manga, Shingeki no Kyojin (AoT) and Tokyo Ghoul explore just that. Without knowing the cruelty of the world with their own hands, the main characters (Kaneki Ken and Eren Yeager) are oblivious to the problems of the world. If you need something with an amazing plot and a dark question underlaying it to puzzle yourself over, what you are about to read is going to be perfect for you. I guarantee it. 

I'd say they are most similar on the matters of perspective present in the manga. Both have prominent characters who oppose each other, so much so that they'd be willing to kill one another. There are many things they differ on, but at the core they are very similar in their themes and statements.  

Psicological, horror, if you like tokyo ghoul i strongly recomend berserk 

both involve character growth and artstyles to convey symbolism 

The artwork, like Berserk, is absolutely beautiful. The story is dark, grim, and, Like Berserk, questions morals and values. Both characters are anti-heroic, and they compliment each other perfectly, despite being polar opposites. Yes, both have monsters, but one is set in a medieval fantasy setting, and one in modern-day Tokyo, they opposites can attract.  

While Dorohedoro is rather unique manga, executed differently than Tokyo Ghoul, common themes can be found, what alone deserve recommendation. Identity, insanity and masks(!) from less popular, obedience(to orgaznization), artificial family bounds, tolerance and oppression from more popular and even power and friendship , but let us leave those two aside. Both stories follow not only protagonist, but also antagonists, as well as side characters. There is also typical for action-seinen gore. But maybe it all comes down to masks. Anyway, they sometimes give the same feeling and are worth reading.  

If you liked Tokyo Ghoul's dark and gritty story, you need to get into Dorohedoro! They are both seinen manga about a split society (basically two groups of races at war with each other), masked people and lots of gore and body horror. In both series the main character undergoes some sort of identitiy crisis. Probably the biggest difference is, that Dorohedoro doesn't take itself that seriously sometimes, while TG pretty much always does.  

Both psychological mysteries with identity based mysteries that kickstart the plot into action with high levels of intense gore and brutality with people being slashed, hacked, or torn off with sprays of blood yes these manga are not unfamiliar to these scenes. 

- Protagonists start out in very similar situations - Both revolve around secret societies that the general public knows little about - Awesome action scenes - Emotionally charged without taking away from Plot or Mood ( Meaning characters are relatable / Complex ) - Dark In terms of mood  

Both are action themed manga series with lots of suspense and edge into it. 

The use of side characters in both the mangas is really good. It's not always about the MC when you are reading these mangas. 

Claymore has many elements in common with Tokyo Ghoul. Both are about creatures that are similar to humans and live among them, but can only live by devouring them. Also, both protagonists of the two mangas are take part in similar transformations gaining super-human strength, altering their forms and becoming literally monsters. Claymore has a darker atmosphere and is more action-based then it’s psychological, but it’s really engaging.  

The greatest contribution/inspiration for Sui Ishida that elevated Tokyo Ghoul to a level that no writer has ever reached in 1000s of years Kagune itself was based on Claymore's awakening; the best power system in Seinen that is based on science not fantasy magic. Transformation into Kakuja makes the user lose sanity just like how Awakening in Claymore makes them become closer to the Yoma. Besides that even the Protagonist, Kaneki and Claire both had to go through organ transplant to become who they were; and the Organ donor even appear in their conscience. And let's not forget how both Mangas have the best female cast in all of fiction; using Claymore and Tokyo Ghoul as standard discerning writing of female characters in any fiction can make every author look like Kishimoto.   

It is similar to death note because there isa team of investigators that wants to stop the Light Yagami or the death note owner and in tokyo ghoul there is a group of investigators that are trying to stop the ghouls. If you read both manga you will see that you will be on the bad side and want the evil to win. The good people look like evil people.  

Although Death Note is a Crime Thriller manga whereas Tokyo Ghoul is more Dark Fantasy stuff, they are similar in terms of suspense and the tension both manga have. Both have gigantic plots on a social and cultural level. 

The main character of dgray man, allen walker is very similer to kaneki ken and had suffered similar tragedy. Allen walker has also been turned into a half like monster, but unlike kaneki he is not as an alley to them (you'll find out more in the manga). 

Both have considerable similarities in the plot. Very similar protagonists. 

seinen both shows tackle the topic on different beings living with each other, and how they cope with these differences. The MC's both start out as shy and timid characters, but later on improve as the story progresses. Lastly both shows have a great and unique world and if you are looking for a show with great characters and a unique premise, you should definitely check these out. 

both have outsider to society type of plots and it focuses on the characters struggles too. 

I'm a HUGE fan of tokyo ghoul and I just wanna recommend Choujin X I think it's really great with oddly similar plots; regular ol' humans and supernatural beings that are so much cooler lmao... with lots more of Tokyo Ghoul vibes oh and... both manga are by the same person; Ishida Sui... just saying 

I can't help but be reminded of Tokyo Ghoul reading Holyland -The protagonists both undergo a psychological change and become brutal compared to their former timid shell -Both take place out in the streets and have a lot to do with gangs, police, and of course, fighting -Both have art styles that aren't really similar, but give off a similar vibe, both can be ominous when needed but lighthearted as well 

Both protagonist became a monster against their wills, now both with powers that resembles those of the monsters has to learn to control them and fight with them. In dawn, the protagonist was infected however was treated and able to keep his human side and fended off the same kind who lost it from attacking humans. While in tokyo ghoul the protagonist had parts of the monster transplanted into him to keep him alive, with the transplant he also gain the monster quality and powers. Unlike dawn, Tokyo monsters has human quality such as feelings and sense. 

Both have similar concepts except Tokyo Ghoul has ghouls instead of "devils" or vampires, and (at least in my opinion) is a much more developed story with better characters. 

Both Tokyo Ghoul and The Promised Neverland have their own unique stories. However they share similarities with how Ghouls struggle to co-exist with humans and how humans struggle to co-exist with Demons. There are definite themes of inequality, working toward a common goal, Morality, survival and both have very valuable lessons that can be learned. I'd argue that in a lot of ways Tokyo Ghoul brings a lot more tragedy given the unfortunate circumstances and severe trauma some of the characters face. But if you loved all that the tokyo ghoul manga had to offer, I'm sure you'd love the Promised Neverland as well.   

One simple encounter with a girl changes the life of the protagonist permanently. In both series, the main character is turned into another being and has to adapt to a new life as a half-human. Both manga also feature a lot of action that the main character ends up into due to his change. 

Both have wonderful characters with deep development and all of them have some screen time. Also the pairing makes sense 

Man-eating monsters and a ton of action. Gantz differs being a lot more violent with sci-fi elements. While Tokyo Ghoul differs with having a struggle of identity as the protagonist is transformed into one of these monsters. So, if your looking for a dark manga with some kick-ass action I suggest you read one of these.  

-In both, humans are fighting against some kind of non-human enemy. -Both protagonists are young males that turn partly into the non-human species after getting attacked. -The humans fighting against the other species are making a weapon out of the other species (TG)/partly become the other species (WE). 

both are horror themed stories that focus on monster type people just going bout their buisness and coping with monsterhood
