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.
Both are about the psychology of adolescents given terrible weapons of war--SaiKano focuses on the development of one relationship, while Bokurano follows a larger cast.
While forming and maintaining relationships can be difficult, for the protagonists in each of these series it's much worse, with their respective love interests having been altered in order to play a part in something that's greater and more horrifying than what they ever could have imagined. With their worlds on the brink of destruction, these girls are humanity's last chance at salvation.
Seinen high school romances with a similar "quiet" feel. Some sci-fi, and the girlfriend is someone amazing who has to protect the world from ending.
Girlfriend is a superweapon, battles devastate the city, and a world full of surprises.
There is nothing like SaiKano out there. It is the most deeply moving manga I have ever read. Nothing can match this anime in emotionality.
Both feature the same atmosphere - a prodigious young girl enrolled in a special army unit, and her distant love.
Touching, dramatic, sci-fi manga in which the main character is a mass destruction weapon hidden in a teenager human shape.
Both manga involve war, romance, and the hope of a better future.
Both are enjoyable, unique, worth-reading manga by Shin Takahashi.
Enjoy extreme tragic figures masked by innocence? You must check out Saikano and Wings of Vendemiaire. Despite their flaws and melodrama, they feature innocent children in extreme situations and are essentially slaves to entities out of their control while they struggle and try to cope with their realities. Saddening, shocking yet beautiful.
The two stories feature young couples whose love endures through the hardships of war. Expect lots of drama and tragedy.
