Both Kokou no Hito and Shamo follow stories of social outcasts focused on one goal - mountaneering and fighting, respectively. Both offer extensive sports trivia, explanations and glossaries. Detailed art.
Both manga artists do visualisations of metaphors, similar art language. Also both mangas concentrate on becoming the best in a certain field (climbing, fighting), while acquiring the skills they also understand things about life, question conformities. Because of that titles feel very similar - especially the way mangakas draw character in moments of psychological intensity
