Both manga feature a freakish character that's shunned and cast out by their family. They're forced to live in isolation, become more alienated with mankind, and begin to ponder revenge. Both are also quite sad and depressing.

Roach

In the dead of night, you shed your skin, a husk of a thing, leaving you sticky, renewed… and repulsive. Everyone that lays eyes on you lunges towards you, their eyes full of disgust and intent to kill. You need to run. Nearly overnight, Taesu Im goes from a terminally ill family man to the most reviled existence on Earth. But it’s not just people’s perception of him that’s changed… it’s him. Something has turned him into a half-man, half-cockroach, and he needs to find out what—or who— did this to him before he gets squashed.

Eun-Sung Lee went to work that day like any other, kissing his wife and child goodbye before dealing with the daily office grind. But no one expected that Seoul would collapse that day as it was overpowered by a swarm of giant, man-eating insects that kill or infect everyone in their path, turning most of the survivors into mindless killing machines. What’s worse, anarchy now rules the streets and humans are now just as dangerous as the insect threat. Along with his co-worker Ji-Eun Seong and a battle-hardened old man, Eun-Sun traverses this desperate landscape in an attempt to find his family, and to keep all of them alive against their enemies at every turn.
