Tokyo Babylon (Manga)

Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE is another series by CLAMP, both Subaru and Seishirou appear in Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE. Subaru as a vampire and Seishirou as a mysterious world traveler/hunter of Subaru. It is very interesting to see these two in a different kind of situation, anyone who enjoyed Tokyo Babylong would love Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE.

First thing--They're both made by CLAMP.

If you enjoyed one, you'll enjoy the other. Both stories are dark and shows what if feels like to be betrayed, lied to or to be kept in the dark. These stories feature dark twists and turns that would leave you sympathizing for the characters.

this is the Prequel of the X manga. It's tell the story before the movement of Subaru Sumeragi and is first meeting with Seishirou Sakurazuka.

Despite having a bit of a different feel to them, both series use death as a way to explore life and its fascets in an episodic way.

another hit from CLAMP really dark, tragic with really sweet relationships and nice humor but be prepared for another sad sad sad ending!
it's not as depressing as it sounds, better mention what it's about, subaru is a kind of exorcist living in tokyo with his twin sister hokuto and their friend seishiro but everyone's got a past full of dark secrets which will all eventually be revealed.

Both of these dark shoujo series from well-known mangaka begin very episodic, starring a teen boy with a special skill as he goes about his business and helps people. The underlying plots in both, however, are tragic, and their heroes will not be able to go through betrayal and finding their true selves unscathed.

Superficially, they're highly similar - both revolve around Japanese religion as well as exorcism/demons/youkai. The art in Tactics is much more modern than that of Tokyo Babylon (considering it's about ten years newer than Tokyo Babylon) but both feature pretty boys/men in an ... ambiguous relationship.
Under the surface, both also focus on the idea of 'westernization' - the decline of traditional Japanese culture as it is replaced by Western norms and values. tactics does this through it's setting - the Taishou era (think early twentieth century) while Tokyo Babylon achieves it through it's plot, and periodical reflections by the characters.
Both are fairly episodic, although the characters do develop and mature as the volume count goes up.
