The world is in ruin: street gangs and guerrilas straight out from Kenshiro roam the land, there are scraps and deserts just about everywhere and it's much like living on Pandora, except no one finds these Borderlands so funny. On the contrary, we have lonely female heroes dealing with both major dramatic stories and side events, which serve either as world building or establishing characters, combined with beautiful sci-fi and cyberpunk imagery. 

about the Protagonists Both protagonists are in a journey, a Quest, that is powered by feelings from deep in their hearts. Both are rather lonely and the silent type but have a companion more talkative and fun, the perfect complement to balance their traits. Both have a strong determination and arms, and are tall, broad, and wear a long cape. about the Story Also, both the stories can become crude at points, yet Berserk is more violent, the Legend more moving. conclusion Apart from this, though, bear in mind that the plots are very different. If youre the sort who cares just for the action, then try the Legend if you feel like it, but I dont you might enjoy it. Thanks for reading me.  read more 

Both works received great influences from western sci-fi while also being of capital importance for their own genre: Eden was a milestone for cyberpunk, Mother Sarah for post-apocalyptic fiction. They share various degree of political undertones and individual struggle in the midst of bigger events, but while Eden has a multi-layered complex plot about life and evolution, Mother Sarah resembles more a Hollywood blockbuster directed by Michael Bay, like most of Otomo's stuff. 

Katsuhiro Otomo is much like the japanese son of Michael Bay and Robert Rodriguez's sensible sister: it doesn't matter how much something is already shattered and destroyed, you can always find a way to blow it up even more if you need drama. 

A stoic, unstoppable warrior wanders the post-apocalyptic desert, striking down crazed, hulking enemies in a world gone bad...never get between a mother and her children. Apart from the obvious 'Mad Max'-like shared theme, Kenshiro and Sarah stand out for their righteous compassion as much as their strength. While Mother Sarah lacks the extravagant martial arts and strong well-backstoried supporting cast of Hokuto no Ken, it does convincingly show a world at war, and how so many tiny but vivid characters are tormented by it. PSA: Please obtain manga legally. 

Mother Sarah is in a very different time period, and on a far smaller scale, but shares Lone Wolf's stoic, unbreakable hero, wandering through a world of bottomless corruption. Ogami and Sarah are both strong fighters, unfailingly righteous, defend and strengthen the innocents they meet, and also very much practise the 'sink or swim' school of parenting...
