Another manga that takes the pokemon-esque concept of young kids battling with cute monsters, and turns it on it's head. Both start off innoculous enough, but soon become pretty disturbing. The other is definitely worth a look if you enjoyed one.

Naga Naga says...

Both are dealing with the concept that is probably aimed at kids, though they both turn out to be quite disturbing pieces of work, and end up faling under adult section. Both require your full attention and prepared stomach, of course that depends on you figuring out the hidden concept, of course.

Puella Magi Madoka Magica

Puella Magi Madoka Magica

One night, Madoka has a terrible nightmare – against the backdrop of a desolate landscape, she watches a magical girl battle a terrifying creature. The next day, the teen's dream becomes reality when the girl – Homura – arrives at Mitakihara High School as a transfer student, mysteriously warning Madoka to stay just the way she is. But when she and her best friend Miki are pulled into a twisted illusion world and meet a magical creature named Kyubey, the pair discovers that magical girls are real, and what's more, they can choose to become one. All they must do is sign a contract with Kyubey and agree to fight witches that spread despair to the human world, and in return they will be granted a single wish. However, as Homura's omen suggests, there's far more to becoming a magical girl than Madoka and Miki realize...

Both of these manga are about adorable girls that somehow get roped into saving lives/maintaining the peace, and it is the worst job ever. If you liked the extra-terrestrial manipulation and the contrast between the cute characters and gory action scenes in one title, you're bound to love the other.

Recommended if you're into the creepy human/alien symbiosis/body-sharing in either manga. Both also have some fairly graphic imagery, and stories that morph and change so rapidly that each volume is very different from those before/after it.

Dead Dead Demon's Dededede Destruction

Dead Dead Demon's Dededede Destruction

Three years ago the aliens invaded Tokyo. Nothing was ever the same again. But after a while, even impending doom starts to feel ordinary. The Japanese Self Defense Forces are still looking for a way to combat the looming alien threat three years after the invasion, but so far conventional weapons have had no effect on the mothership. Maybe it’s time to try something unconventional. Meanwhile, Kadode Koyama is in high school. She and her best friend avidly track the aliens’ movements on social media and less enthusiastically study for college entrance exams. When the end of the world is overhead, you learn to take things one step at a time.

Both are heavily character driven and have a similar plot, with aliens having shown up on earth for an unknown reason.
