Both Abara and NOiSE take place in dystopian future worlds. They have very similar art styles, full of highly detailed, massive superstructures that set a dark and creepy mood by artist Tsutomu Nihei. Both deal with strange, almost paranormal occurrences, and heroes both gain special powers to deal with these problems. They are also relatively short in length. If you liked one, you will almost certainly like the other.

NOiSE and Dead Heads share an appearent similarity in art style, as both are written and drawn by Tsutomu Nihei. Rather than rely on dialogue to convey the plot, the stories are filled with silent visuals depicting events or characters' thoughts.
While NOiSE is slightly longer (Dead Heads being a one-shot) they are both relatively short in length which allows for a lot of personal interpretation in the story. As for characters, both have a strong lead that swims against the current driven by the futuristic government and get into a difficult situation. NOiSE does occur much further into the future, however.
