If you like a depressing yet beautiful love story then Lament of the Lamb is a nice short 7 volume manga. The art work is simple and relaxed but conveys the emotions required for this kind of story. Similar to SaiKano in the sense of depressing nature (god that sounds awful doesnt it?!) but both are tragic and both have lovely art work and will make you have a lump on your throat as youre reading through the series. I love manga like this, good length at 7 volumes and very engaging.
Thought the stories of each are very very differnt throughout all of Lamenent of the
Lams and the latter half of Sakano there is a depressing and sad athmoshere that suck you in wanting more, and in the end make u truely feel something i cant explain it any better that this but both of these searies are a must read thought i personally perfer Lamernt of the lamb make ur choce

Though Sakura Gari is often seen as yaoi alone, the heart of the story is actually very much centered on psychological abuse and its after-effects, and no other story treats such an issue better than the manga Lament of the Lamb. Both stories also spotlight forbidden relationships and show just how damaging they can be. Though these manga have despicable, flawed casts, there is a touch of hope to both stories, even in the darkness of the characters' situations and actions.

both series have a soft almost watercolor style of art, dark atmospheres, beautiful sad and melancholy female leads, and strange and obsessed male leads. both are about death and all the strange feelings that surround it. both are very enjoyable if you're happiest when it rains...

Both are supernatural/fantasy (WE more so) stories that examine the obsession of a teenage/young adultish main character's love for a deceased one as it transfers to a "heir," the one who will resurrect the dead person's image. Lament of the Lamb provides a more detailed picture of immediate life for the characters if, upon realizing what's happening, the "replacement" character accepts his role; World Embryo kind of goes the negative direction, and has a more involved look at the consequences of the action (as necessitated by the plot; WE is more of a save the world type story) in terms of regret and the uniqueness of identity. Both examine isolation and secrecy, though while in Lament of the Lamb many are aware that at least something is being kept secret, that's not quite the case in WE (knowledge restricted more to two main characters); WE is also a bit more easier relate to, as it is much more philosophical and pulls you into Riku's mind as he questions the manipulations around him and his own motivations. Finally, both have a bit of a love triangle, and a bit of a forbidden romance feel (it's a little bit harder to explain in WE-fantasy element of it).

Both very good plot and somewhat dark :)

Both works feature entertaining stories of vampires accompanied a strong yet subtle romantic plot that plays along the lines of being a taboo subject. The character dynamic between Kuroe and Misaki share many characteristics with the Chizuna siblings'.

Both are about incest. Both have a very sad situation.

Both are seinens, and have a similar tone...slightly unnerving, mild horror. Vampire themes. Similar settings. Have a slightly brushy, dark art style.
