| I realize this is potentially an oddly specific request, but I'm in the middle of reading the manga Monster and looking to see what other manga titles I should check out that also take place partly in countries like Germany and Czech Republic. Historical fiction definitely welcome, doesn't have to be in the same vein as Monster genre-wise. |
| Versailles no Bara Cesare Historie Emma Vinland Saga Adolf ni Tsugu Not sure if any of these are good (or too accurate) lol. i just did a quick internet search for you. Good luck! |
| Hitotsuhegiheini hegihoshi hajikami - bonmame bongome bongobou - Tsumidate tsumimame tsumizanshiyou - shoshazannoshasoujou kogomenonamagami kogomenonamagami konkogomenokonamagami - shuzu hijuzu shusu shuchin - oyamokahei komokahei oyakaheikokahei - kokahei oyakahei - furukuri no kinofurukirikuchi - amagappaka bangappaka kisamanokyahanmokawagyahan - shikkawahakamano shippokorobiwonoranyorai noranyorai minoranyorai minyoranorai.................... |

Most of those don't take place in the parts of Europe I was looking for (Eastern Europe is countries like Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Poland, Romania, etc.), but thank you for the recs anyway. getsallad said: There's a Kafka short-story that's been animated some time ago, I don't know how good it is, but it's called "A country doctor". I found it in the database. Thanks, I will check it out! |
| Spice and Wolf takes place in a pseudo euopean setting, with strong influences of late medeaval Germany and it's guild system, religion and pagan culture. Seikon no Qwaser is a story about breast sucking, flavored with Russian Orthodox culture. [just noticed you're already reading it] And if you're into non-manga fantasy, you could check out Sapkowski's The Witcher saga which is dark fantasy based on Polish/European culture. Maybe these are too much fantasy and less historical. |

Numi said: Most of those don't take place in the parts of Europe I was looking for (Eastern Europe is countries like Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Poland, Romania, etc.), but thank you for the recs anyway. Actually Germany, Czech Rep, Slovakia and Poland are considered rather as central europe ( Poland has geographical center of europe aswell as I remember ), while Russia is eastern europe, arguably along with Romania ( even if looking timezone wise ). |
| I'm surprised nobody has yet mentioned Fullmetal Alchemist. It's enough to make me think I'm misremembering, but I was fairly certain it was set in something that suspiciously resembled fantasy-Germany. I know the movie included Nazis and Hitler. And then, of course, there's Axis Powers Hetalia, in which Germany is, himself, a character ^.~ |
ShortTermCrook said: Actually Germany, Czech Rep, Slovakia and Poland are considered rather as central europe ( Poland has geographical center of europe aswell as I remember ), while Russia is eastern europe, arguably along with Romania ( even if looking timezone wise ). Eastern Europe are more the Balkans (though, they're officially Souteastern Europe) and Central Europe is Poland and Germany with France. Denmark, Holland and above are Northern Europe. And no, I don't know any anime except for Monster... :S |

| Master Keaton. Well, I guess MK takes place all over the world (it's episodic so it's a case by case basis), but I recall Europe as being the dominant location. Legend of the Galactic Heroes takes place in Space Europe/Germany though! There's also Space America and Space Switzerland (or some other neutral country) too! Yes, it's all space, but the places are almost certainly supposed to be representations of said places. |
Valkyrie-Ryu said: Gallia, so more close to France, but at least the Imperials have a clear Gothic/HRE feel to them.pretty sure Valkyria Chronicles takes place in an alternate world Germany.. Anyways, there's also this manga about Napoleon form the author of Rose of Versailles, which does supposedly include his fatal Russian campaign. Sadly, it doesn't seem to exist scanlated, much less translated, anywhere. But hey, the more people that cry for it, the bigger chance someone might pick it up. Jormungand jumps around a lot, but it did take a tour into eastern Europe somewhere, probably the Balkans, though I don't think they actually named the country in question. |
