Great manga, probably my all time favorite. Might be a weird rec, but A Canticle for Leibowitz. Both deal with humanity dealing with an apocalypse in relatively peaceful ways and have a good sense of time progressing. Not a one to one, but if you like YKK you'll probably enjoy Canticle.

Obviously Dracula by Bram Stoker, but they are really nothing alike in terms of pacing and action (and some other things).
Devil May Cry novels by Shin-ya Goikeda are close in atmosphere and action, but because they are novels based on video games, they are lighter reading and can be finished in one afternoon.

Haibane Renmei. I've already read Hardboiled Wonderland and the End of the World, I'm looking for something more in line with the themes and tone of HR than the relatively uperficial aspects it borrows from that novel.

>>19810221
Not a book but rather an essay, The Myth of Sisyphus by Camus. It deals with a lot of similar themes and I wouldn't be shocked in the slightest if tkmiz had read it. I wish I had a proper book to recommend, because if I knew of one it would probably be one of my favorites.

Not a full book but Clive Barker's short story "The Skins of the Father" has a lot of similar elements packed into it. Specifically the variety of monsters and their nebulous intent. Also, both have monster rape so there's that. "In the Hills, the Cities" also has a similar monster to a Gantz one in it.

I'm a bad judge of content but Alan Watts - The Wisdom of Insecurity is a good match for HnK
Or in Podcast form try Alan Watts - The Joker
Alternatively, Alan Watts - Four Ways to the Center

Anything by Watts is kind of akin to HnK due to Taoist and his heavy Buddhist influence in writing
He's also a genuinely entertaining philosopher to listen to. He's so playful and tricky with his teachings for a 1960s guy
In his "How to get out of your own way" lecture he decribes the gems to a point. "Immortality isn't something to cling to, LIFE isn't something to cling to. When you want to hold your breath you strain and hold it but you lose it. When you release your breath, breathe out, it comes back you to. In the same way God in genesis breathes into a clay figuring to create life."

Beyond the post apocalyptic setting and the cannibalism the similarities are very superficial, Fire Punch has far more going on to it beneath its setting, for example the use of pop culture as lore, or just Agni's character as a whole, you never really feel like it's a survival story, his suffering is mostly psychological despite him being literally on fire.
Anyway the road is just not similar at all, but thanks for contributing anon.
