If you baseline is "How will our protag overcome this" then the classic is probably "Dragonball", but basically any Shonen Jump series fits that bill (Bleach, Naruto, One Piece). However most of these are targeting younger audiences, with Bleach being the most "mature" of the ones I mentioned.
If you like the mystery element of Death Note, then Pyscho Pass could be an interesting one to look at.
Lastly, if you want a comedy inverse of "how will the protag overcome this", One Punch Man is a great series. The author One also did a series Mob Pyscho that's an action comedy.
Note: some of these I've read, while others I only watched the anime
Psycho-Pass wasn't an adaptation. The manga came after and is a rare anime>manga adaptation, and not a version of the story that's worth considering over the anime, IMO.
Oh I wasn't aware it was an original series. While it's definitely not a smart assumption, i generally just assume any popular anime was a magna first.
It's a safe assumption, as most of the time a manga doesn't exist at all if the anime is original.
But there are exceptions.
As for anime being original, happens more than you'd think. And a lot are novel adaptations.
