bleeb's Profile

If you liked Family Complex add

...then you might like Sora no Mannaka add

Both are stories about a middle school kid that's standing in the shadow of their dazzling family members. Both of them have issue's with being not so pretty or talented as their parents or siblings, unable to realise they are the center of their family-universe.

If you liked Petshop of Horrors add

...then you might like The Tarot Café add

Both of these mangas are about a shop or cafe with a mysterious owner, which gets mysterious customers. These episodic manga's are about the stories connected to the customers, and sometimes to the owners. Both have a mysterious horror feeling, and both are an awesome read.

If you liked Petshop of Horrors add

...then you might like Waraenu Douji - 108 no Gou add

Waraenu Douji - 108 no Gou is a episodic manga that is about a human with a certain desire, gets helped by a Zashiki Warashi. However this help doesn't have a positive spin. In this sense the manga reminds me of Petshop of Horrors, which is about humans with a certain desire, and come to the rumoured petshop for extraordinary pets... with nasty consequences...

If you liked Petshop of Horrors add

...then you might like Hyakkiyakou Shou add

Both are supernatural stories about the main character meeting supernatural beings, and people involved with them.

If you liked Natsume Yuujinchou add

...then you might like Hyakkiyakou Shou add

Both are about a teenage boy involved with Yokai. Both have a youkai/spirit as a bodyguard, and both have a grandparent that had way more spiritual power than them.

If you liked Sleeping Flower add

...then you might like Corsair add

Harrr! Pirate yaoi ahoi!
Corsair is completed, Sleeping Flower (sadly) isn't.

If you liked Her Majesty's Dog add

...then you might like Yurara no Tsuki add

When reading HMD I was constantly reminded of YNT. I guess it is because both of these supernatural shoujos are dark, but won't get you really down. These stories both evolve around a naive girl who is followed by two men with colliding characters - and of course - see the girl as their love interest. Add some spirit exorcizing or other supernatural activities to the mix and you'd find them surprisingly similar.

If you liked Night Exile add

...then you might like Memory Eaters add

Memory Eaters is a manwha, while Night Exile is a manga. Both of these beautiful drawn stories have a central theme about needing memories to live, and forgetting the memories one has. They are also comparable in length: both are 2 volumes.

If you liked Saigo no Door wo Shimero! add

...then you might like Doushitemo Furetakunai add

I second! I was going over here just to make the very same recommendation but for total different reasons. If you ask me the alcohol doesn't play such a significant part in these stories. Both are yaoi about a relationship between men that is plausible. You could actually imagine this story is about real people. Their uncertainties will not remind you of a shoujo manga. These stories aren't stitched together from one fallacy to another. The characters in these manga's act like adults and have a mind of their own, which they actually use. These stories are definitely a must read!

If you liked Saver add

...then you might like Threads of Time add

These stories are about a teenager from our time that excels in kendo. The similarity between the stories doesn't end here: Both of them drown, but wake up in a medieval era and realise they are tangled up in karma, faith or destiny. So these teenagers engage in war and use their kendo-skills to save the day.
Threads of Time has a realistic setting - the Korean war with the Mongols.
Saver has a less realistic setting: there is a fantasy-like race with inhuman powers.

If you liked Shokugyou Tenshi add

...then you might like Kon no Ki Konoha add

Ki Konoha is a one shot, Shokugyou Tenshi is a volume with several oneshots. The first story of Shokugyou Tenshi is about a tree, just like what the one shot Ki Konoha is about.

If you liked Kareshi Kanojo no Jijou add

...then you might like Gakuen joou add

Both are a shoujo manga about a boy and a girl that are admired, and the boy finds out the girl's image is a complete sham. Gakuen Joou is a one shot, Kare Kano has 21 volumes.

If you liked Kimi wo Watareba add

...then you might like ≠ add

Both are yaoi mangas about someone that time travels, unwillingly getting stuck in another era. And of course: in both of these mangas guys from totally different eras will fall in love. NE is about a guy that goes to the Showa era. KwW is about someone from the Taisho era stuck in the present.

If you liked Sakigake!! Cromartie Koukou add

...then you might like Angel Densetsu add

Both are comedies about a goody two shoes and his delinquent friends.

If you liked Fruits Basket add

...then you might like Mekakushi no Kuni add

I'd like to second this recommendation. This is a combination I couldn't have thought of myself but there are several similarities. It may have been in different magazines, but these shoujo's were published around the same period. Both of these series are supernatural and have a triangle love situation because all the boys love the super kind-hearted female leads. And last but not least: Both of these shoujo's have a fairly high ratings.

If you liked Shin Petshop of Horrors add

...then you might like Ludwig Kakumei add

Although these are two very different stories, they do emit the same kind of ominous feeling. Both are fairly high rated and rather disturbing horror stories. While Count D seems to have lots of very influential connections in the underworld, Ludwig is a flamboyant prince that has connections because of his royal blood. The settings are very different though. Petshop of Horrors is set in a Chinatown-building in Japan, while Ludwig Revolution is set in fairytale land where you'll meet Snowwhite, Red Little Riding Hood or Rapunzel. Both stories are definitely worth a shot!

If you liked Nemureru Tsuki add

...then you might like Sugiru Juunana no Haru add

Please do note: I am recommending a josei with a yaoi. SJnH is josei, NT is yaoi. Both of the stories are about cousins that have to deal with a family curse for they are the first born sons.

If you liked Threads of Time add

...then you might like Boku no Chikyuu wo Mamotte add

This recommendation is about two stories that are extremely well written. These stories have in common that they are about teenagers getting stuck in their
past lifes. The lives they have lived before their reincarnation to who they are right now. Those past lifes aren't concluded because they died with regret. Both are about teenagers that somehow relive their past life, or become stuck in it. Both are about love that blossoms again after reincarnation. Please do note these are two completely different stories. PSME is about a past life set in a sci-fi environment while ToT is in a historical setting.

If you liked Endo Hiroki Tanpenshuu add

...then you might like Illumination add

Both are short stories/oneshots with a pessimistic feel to it.

If you liked Border add

...then you might like Acid Town add

The way the manga is drawn reminds me of one another. Both of the stories are about young people who live their lives trough hardships. ACID TOWN is shounen ai, Border is yaoi.

If you liked Fruits Basket add

...then you might like Sex Pistols add

Do note: Fruits Basket is shoujo, Sex Pistols is yaoi.
Both are about people representing an animal. They both have animalistic traits.

If you liked Howl no Ugoku Shiro add

...then you might like Aru Tabibito no Nikki add

Howls Moving Castle is similar to Aru Tabibito no Nikki for their music, and dreamy pictures/landscapes. Both of these animations have the power to put you under a spell.

If you liked Mainichi Seiten add

...then you might like Sumanai!! Masumi-kun add

Both are beautiful yaoi's about a man who's female family was supposed to marry his editor/author. The female family turns out to be a runaway bride, and the almost-husband comes to live with the man.

If you liked Tokyo Crazy Paradise add

...then you might like Love in the Mask add

I see lots of resemblance in this manga and manwha. Both are about a girl raised as a boy, and being a live-in bodyguard to survive in their cruel world. TCP is a comedy. LitM is a drama.

If you liked The Change! add

...then you might like Samurai High School add

These two manga's aren't alike at all. Why do I make this recommendation? Both are gender bender comedies that are about girl-boy twins with the girl acting like a notorious tomboy and the boy acting like the stereotypical girl every domestic man dreams of. In both of these manga's their father opposes to their behaviour for he is deeply concerned by the grave consequences of them being found out.

If you liked Threads of Time add

...then you might like Amatsuki add

A teenage boy gets sucked into the past. Fate does exist, and he has a important role he has to fulfil. Amatsuki is a manga placed in the Edo era. The manhwa Threads of Time is placed in the era of the Mongol invasions in Korea.

If you liked Mekakushi no Kuni add

...then you might like Yamamoto Zenjirou to Moushimasu add

Both are about a girl with supernatural powers. These girls both try to help people in their own way.

If you liked Natsume Yuujinchou add

...then you might like Yamamoto Zenjirou to Moushimasu add

YZtM: A ten year old girl is able to see the spirits of the deceased. She tries to help them in her own way.
NY: A teenage boy is which is able to see spirits. He tries to help them with everything in his power.

If you liked Oshioki Gakuen add

...then you might like Oni ni Hatsujou add

Screwed up student-teacher relationships.

If you liked BROTHER X BROTHER add

...then you might like Ano Hi no Kimi wo Dakishimeta nara add

I feel I should recommend these yaoi's because they both treat the subject physical abuse. Please do note these manga's differ from each other as night and day.

If you liked Natsume Yuujinchou add

...then you might like Kobatotei Ibun add

I'd like to second.

If you liked Mekakushi no Kuni add

...then you might like Natsume Yuujinchou add

Both stories are about a teenager that sees things (s)he isn't supposed to see. Both of them are haunted by childhood memories of being bullied and alienated for being either weird or creepy when they just told what they saw. In both stories kindness prevails.

If you liked BROTHER X BROTHER add

...then you might like Nanahikari add

Both are series that have to do with a famous show bizz man dying, and the long lost child trying to find out who his father was, while dealing with inheritance and brothers he never knew of.

If you liked Higashi no Eden add

...then you might like Summer Wars add

Summer Wars reminds me of Hisagi no Eden because both are sci-fi in near future and both show you the usage of user accounts and internet in a whole new way. Summer Wars however, completely lacks realism.

If you liked Threads of Time add

...then you might like Legend of Nereid add

These two Manhwa's are similar for several reasons. Legend of Nereid, and almost the whole story from Threads of Time are placed in a society or a cultural setting from roughly 1 millenium ago.
Eventually you could say both of the stories are about a normal teenager that excels in armed combat practice, who later on will be dragged down to the battlefield.

If you liked La Esperança add

...then you might like Komatta Toki ni wa Hoshi ni Kike add

Both are set in a boys school. The relationships of Takara x Kiyomine and Georges x Robert are similar in; Takara and Georges both are rejected from Kiyomine and Robert for features of their face. Takara and Georges are both naive and have their complexes. Takara is afraid to be a burden to people and hated for it. Georges is afraid for just 'not being liked'. Kiyomine and Robert are unlikable guys that change for the better when interacting with Takara and Georges. Komahoshi is comedy, La Esperança is drama.

If you liked Doushitemo Furetakunai add

...then you might like Ashita mo Tanin add

Both stories begin with a gay guy falling in love with a straight guy (orphan) that has a really strong family wish. When the straight guy is hitting on them they are very scared to begin a relationship for they believe it is doomed to fail.

If you liked Vanilla Star add

...then you might like Calling add

Both are couples with one of them working in the AV industry

If you liked Endo Hiroki Tanpenshuu add

...then you might like KIZU add

I feel Hiroki Endo's Tanpenshu and Kizu are similar to each other in their ambiance. Subjects like abuse are also treated in both manga's.

If you liked Death Note add

...then you might like Akumetsu add

Both are about a high school boy with a unlikely, supernatural power they will use to "improve" the country by killing everyone that is evil according to their judgement. Death Note's kills have their focus on your every day murderer, rapist etc while Akumetsu has it's focus on politicians, CEO's: what's wrong with trias politica, economics, the pharmaceutical industry etc. Death Note is more of a psychological blockbuster and a thriller focussing on mind-games while Akumetsu is a good action. Akumetsu is especially cool to read if you are into politics and know a little bit about the economic crisis we have, or have seen Michael Moore's Sicko. It makes you want to go "whoohoo, you go Akumetsu!"

If you liked Tista add

...then you might like Anonymous add

Stories about kids that were raised to kill.

If you liked Hands Off! add

...then you might like Komatta Toki ni wa Hoshi ni Kike add

The relationship Kotarou and Tatsuki have reminds me of the relationship Takara and Kiyomine have. They argue a lot and get into a lot of trouble together - but they deeply care about each other. Also do Kotarou and Takara have - as well as Tatsuki and Kiyomine - character traits that are alike.

If you liked Hands Off! add

...then you might like Mekakushi no Kuni add

Hands Off! is a somewhat darker manga than Land of the Blindfolded. Nevertheless is the main character Oohira Kotarou almost as naive and trusting as Ootsuka Kanade. Naito Arou and Oohira Tatsuki have the same gift: They see the past. And both of them are troubled with many unhappy pasts they see.

If you liked Bus Gamer - Pilot Edition add

...then you might like Wild Adapter add

When you read both of them again and again, you'll find out the characters from Bus Gamer were inspiration for the characters from Wild Adapter.

If you liked 07-Ghost add

...then you might like Uragiri wa Boku no Namae wo Shitteiru add

A supernatural anime about an exceptional orphan. A shoujo with a gothic feeling to it and a little bit of boys love to make it all complete!
Sounds familiar?

If you liked Okane Ga Nai add

...then you might like Datte Ai ja Nai!? add

A university student (the uke with no backbone whatsoever) gets somehow entangled in a debt of a friend/familymember. The evil yakuza loan shark tells the uke to pay him with his body. Doesn't that sound familiar?

If you liked Yubisaki no Koi add

...then you might like Hikari to Yami no Logic add

Solving (police) cases with a supernatural talent.

If you liked Nekrateholic add

...then you might like Vassalord. add

Gay vampires/hunters and their whims. Vassalord is shounen-ai. Nekrateholic is soft yaoi.

If you liked Mekakushi no Kuni add

...then you might like Kobatotei Ibun add

These series are similar to each other for being a supernatural shoujo manga. Both of the stories lack evil. As if it never existed.

If you liked I.S. add

...then you might like With the Light: Raising an Autistic Child add

Serious real life conditions are explained and conveyed by manga.

If you liked Komatta Toki ni wa Hoshi ni Kike add

...then you might like Mainichi Seiten add

When I was reading Mainichi Seiten and it's side stories that fit perfectly into each other I began thinking about Komahoshi. Both are shounen-ai and have several volumes. While Komahoshi is placed in a boys school dormitory Mainichi Seiten is placed in a familyhome. Both of the stories have characters that grow, and when reading further you discover that the seemingly normal characters all carry a buried past. Both are definitely a must-read!

If you liked Hoshi no Yakata add

...then you might like Partners add

Both are good BDSM manga's, with realistic subs and semes. Hoshi no Yakata has very girly characters, while the characters in Partners look like real men.

If you liked Elfen Lied add

...then you might like Variante - Requiem for the World add

Elfen Lied and Variante are similar because they're both about humans with superhuman powers, caged as lab rats. Both of the main characters have some attachment to a deep buried past, and both the of main characters are afraid of their own gifts and try to escape the facility.

If you liked Hikaru no Go add

...then you might like Katana add

Katana and Hiraku no Go are similar because a boy can see the spirit attached to an certain object and therefore gets interested in things to do with the object. Hiraku no Go is about a boy that meets a spirit attached to a Go board, and gets interested in Go. Katana is about a boy that can see the spirit of any Katana and gets interested in katana's. Both have a certain educational level for you can learn a lot about some aspects of Japanese culture.

If you liked Birthday add

...then you might like Kare no Niwa ni Saku Hana add

Birthday is similar to the first chapter of Kare no Niwa ni Saku Hana for being a boys love manga handling a subject like terminal disease.

If you liked Passion no Tsuki add

...then you might like Gochisousama add

Yaoi and parenting.

If you liked Shijou Saikyou no Deshi Kenichi add

...then you might like The Breaker add

Both are about a boy that gets bullied and tries to overcome bullies by studying martial arts. Both of them are trained in several martial arts. They both have spirit, and don't give up easily. The Breaker is seinen, HSDK is shounen.

If you liked Kakumei no Hi add

...then you might like I.S. add

These series are similar in a way of both dealing with being an inter sexual. While inter sexuality is the bottom line of I.S. and making it a serious series, is it in The Day of Revolution a steppingstone for a nice comedy story set-up.

If you liked Ai no Shintairiku add

...then you might like I.S. add

These series are similar with being a serious Gender Bender. While I.S. deals with being inter sexual, Ai no Shintairiku deals with being transsexual.

If you liked Fake add

...then you might like New York New York add

Delicious gay cops in New York. Note that Fake is shounen-ai while New York New York is yaoi.

If you liked Border add

...then you might like My Life With You add

For everyone who liked the yaoi - special ops part from Border, do read My Life With You!

If you liked Brother add

...then you might like Ai no DNA add

yaoi, brothers, incest

If you liked Fake add

...then you might like Mezase Hero! add

Both are stories about a comic cop-duo and their troubles. Nice detail: there are bets on the progression in their relationship in Fake as wel as in Mezase Hero!

If you liked Bus Gamer - Pilot Edition add

...then you might like Duds Hunt add

People doing crazy things, for lots of money.

If you liked Let Dai add

...then you might like Boku wa Konomama Kaeranai add

When reading 'Boku wa Konomama Kaeranai' I couldn't stop thinking about 'Let Dai'. The main resemblances in the story are:
- a very dangerous friendship that leads to homosexuality
- a boy trying to end things with a girl so he can start a gay relationship
- rape
Both stories have a great tear-factor, though I have to say: compared to 'Let Dai', 'Boku wa Kaeranai' has a rather happy ending.

If you liked Petshop of Horrors add

...then you might like Ludwig Kakumei add

Although these are two very different stories, they do emit the same kind of ominous feeling. Both are fairly high rated and rather disturbing horror stories. While Count D is 'just' a human-hater and seems to be connected to several occasions of death, Ludwig is into necrophilia. The settings are very different though. Petshop of Horrors is set in Chinatown in America, while Ludwig Revolution is set in fairytale land where you'll meet Snowwhite, Red Little Riding Hood or Rapunzel. Both stories are definitely worth a shot!

If you liked Wild Adapter add

...then you might like Hotel Harbour View add

For everyone that is dying for more "film noir" kind of mangas: here you are.

If you liked Koi wa Ina Mono Myouna Mono add

...then you might like Koyubi wa Amaku Sasayaku add

Both the stories are about a guy that can 'see' the future in some kind of way. And both the guys are utterly confused when they realise their fate is to end up having a gay relationship. Koiha Ina Mono Mouna Momo may be rated 'yaoi', but many people say it should be called shounen-ai. Koyubi wa amaku sasayaku is a oneshot, but is really worth reading.

If you liked Good Morning Call add

...then you might like Ichigo Jikan add

Ichigo Jikan and Good Morning Call both written with the same idea:
By some twist of fate a popular boy and a normal girl have to live with each other.

If you liked Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge add

...then you might like Hana to Akuma add

Hana to Akuma and the Wallflower are very different manga's with very different settings. While Wallflower is about an eccentric girl surrounded by bishies, Hana to Akuma is about a dumb (but very sweet) girl, that was raised by a demon.

There is a reason for recommending these very different stories though. These stories aren't like Bleach p.e. that it is never-ending. I recommend these series 'cs every chapter is a story on its own. Sometimes it is a few chapters long, but you'll never get the idea you read a manga stitched together from cliffhanger to cliffhanger.

Both are definitely worth a try since they are both very sweet, romantic and enchanting.

If you liked ES add

...then you might like Elfen Lied add

Elfen Lied and Eternal Sabbath are both about escaped lab rats. Except for the fact that these lab rats are human beings, who have mutations. They have a supernatural powers, and some are gone totally crazy, and some don't. The main difference? Elfen Lied isn't as mature as Eternal Sabbath.

If you liked Parasyte add

...then you might like Telepathic Wanderers add

The two main characters (female) are bullied by their peers and find peace in something else.

If you liked Mizu no Kotoba add

...then you might like Noisy Birth add

They are both a short film. Even shorter than the average OVA. And most important; they are both fascinating!

If you liked Mononoke Hime add

...then you might like Giniro no Kami no Agito add

In both the movies nature has got a conscience. Both make you think about what is right or wrong. And they both of the movies are just... incredible!

If you liked Hana Yori Dango add

...then you might like Kyuukyoku Venus add

Two stories about a girl that - against her own will - gets sucked into the world of the rich. There are also lots of unrequited love.

Don't think these stories are alike though. This recommendation is for the people seeking the same elements. HYD is longer, and therefore it has more depth and drama.

If you liked Lost Child add

...then you might like Every Day Every Night add

Twincest. Yaoi. Every Day Every Night is more sex. Lost Child is much more discreet.
