Captivating and kinda gothic art style. Both mangas have to do something with death and human emotions.

Two person or partners. Mature theme. Seeking a way to undo curses/deformities they suffer.

Hellsing and Majo to Yajuu share the most obvious similarity in setting, with the modern supernatural elements taken to a more witchy place in Majo. The other comparisons lie in the central characters, who both have their powers locked away, but are unleashed when danger approaches. The story is a little lacking in writing quality in both (while still occasionally hitting), but you really can't beat the art and sheer fun reading each of these stories.

Knights of Sidonia is set in an interstellar arc ship carrying the last remnant of humanity through the void, while the Witch and the Beast takes place in a fantasy-noir world where magecraft exists side-by-side with smartphones and witches posses the kind of power that can destroy cities on a whim. These stories can both fundamentally be defined as Mystery. While KoS is a Mystery / Mecha / Space Opera and W&B is a Mystery / Fantasy / Thriller, the shared appeal lies in their intricate settings, each presented with a high level of detail (in terms of world building and art style) that simply  read more
