The Earth's in danger because something's approaching (or just waiting ominously)? People and animals working together in order to prevent it or make it happen? If you are interested in such fantasy course of events, you may find both manga interesting. 

I love how both Abe Youichi and Dowman Seiman can indulge so freely in their hang ups and still do great art. The obsession for school girls, sea creatures, mafia, quirky nerds and whatever turns the reading experience to an orgy of tropes, like when ordering junk food at a high class restaurant; you're amazed that you crave for more even after the fourth serving... These two works both tell a small story in each chapter, where comedy and tragedy are so intertwined that you'll end up laughing and crying without knowing if it's because you're so happy that you're crying or so sad that you're laughing.  read more
