Both manga work with a species harmful to humans, but the MC happens to be transformed into it. Shonen type and dystopic, good action and awesome characters.

CaseyLevet CaseyLevet says...

Both of these mangas are about a human who was living a "normal life" who becomes non-human and struggles to live in a world where they are despised. The MC has to hide their non-human identity and decide whether to side with the humans or something else...

Gent07 Gent07 says...

I can't explain much but both have such a dark plot story and mc developmet character that make similar.

Over a century ago, mankind was devoured by giant beings of unknown intelligence and origin known as Titans – creatures that eat humans alive indiscriminately and for no apparent reason. The remaining population has managed to survive the last hundred years only by building a multi-walled city capable of keeping the Titans at bay, training military recruits to patrol the perimeter and gather intelligence about their mysterious foe. Eren and Mikasa have lived a relatively peaceful life behind the city's walls, but when a massive Titan appears, smashing the outer barrier and unleashing a wave of terror, their lives are brutally changed forever...

Both stories involve a defense force that fights against giant monsters and a protagonist that is motivated to fight those monsters, ends up becoming a monster, and takes advantage of feir new monster powers in fighting the monsters.

thelqst thelqst says...

The plot is kind of similar. It revolves around humanity survival and fighting big creatures. The main protagonist, although is much older, also becomes one of the creatures they're fighting against to. 

Fullmetal Alchemist

Fullmetal Alchemist

The first law of alchemy is that "one cannot gain something without giving something of equal value in return" - a rule that two souls dare to cross. When Edward and Alphonse Elric try to revive their dead mother, breaking the taboo of human transmutation in process, Ed loses his right arm and left leg while Al loses his entire body. After the tragedy, an alchemist named Roy Mustang visits them and tells Edward to become a state alchemist to find a way to recover what they have lost. Accompanied by Al, whose soul is now attached to a metal suit of armor, Ed is fitted with auto-mail parts in place of his lost limbs and becomes a state alchemist by the name of "Full Metal Alchemist." Together, they set forth on a journey to find the Philosopher's Stone - the one item that is rumored to have the power to restore them.

This is a gut feeling thing, but I'd say if you like the tone of one, you'll enjoy the other. Both deal with monstrous things and some serious implications, but manage to smoothly break up the mood with comedy. The style of humor is similar, I feel.

A strange epidemic appeared that transformed many humans into mindless monsters called Goblins. Some of these Goblins have retained their human minds, but not their human morality.

Both animes have a defense force, defeat monsters, have a main character that was ordinary at first, and have characters that are from the enemy side but are main protagonists.
