To understand oneself. This is the concept behind these two manga, as we follow the journey of the imortals mage protagonists inside their beautyfull magical world. As the journey occur, different relationships are formed, always being able to fill our hearts with warmt. 

Both have the fantasy genre and similar themes of magic, witches, and immortality. However in Majo no Shinzou there is more adventure while Hibiki no Mahou is set in one area with many reoccurring characters. 

Lonely individuals that see what others can not, usually passing by unnoticed and having as company and protection an object that can turn into human form, reencounters with acquaintances from long time ago, myths, rumours and mysterious books. Whereas Majo no Shinzou has a more fantastical setting both manga have a Historical touch with occasional comical moments and decent art particularly in Majo no Shinzou, where it's outstanding especially because of the detailed backgrounds and the coloured pages that are missing in Monochrome Myst. The stories are formed by a series of cases that the characters get involved in through variety of scenarios, though the episodic format is more noticeable and better treated in Majo no Shinzou. Death is in both cases represented as a black substance that's composed solely of darkness that consumes life, which has a deeper meaning in Majo no Shinzou.  read more 

Characters: The characters, Mika and Victorique, have similar personalities (cool, knowledgeable, and somewhat cold). They also both have loyal, dorky companions (Lumiere and Kujo). Story: Both are fantasy/historical type stories but Majo no Shinzou is more focused on magic and Gosick is filled with legends and solving mysteries. Majo no Shinzou also has more adventure since the main character is constantly traveling without a home to return to. Both stories also have a dark tone to it. Style: The art in both manga's are very cute and light (lolita style?).  

These are Stories about traveling with a talking object and meeting interesting places and people. Both have a similar philosophical undertone. 

This follows a similar idea, a strange young women travels the world on a quest followed by strange companions, a talking lamp in "Majo no Shinzou" and a talking bat and odd children in "Hitsugikatsugi no Kuro". Both of them follow an episodic structure and have some fairy-tale elements. "Shoulder-a-Coffin Kuro" is more consistently dark in terms of tone whereas "Witch's Heart" flip-flops between light and heavy themes more often. That's not to say that either can't manage emotional scenes or comic relief either. 

Both are about immortal main characters going on a journey. People come and go, there are two main companions in Majo no Shinzou whereas Fumetsu no Anata e switches around. Majo no Shinzou is definitely more lighthearted than Fumetsu no Anata e, but it definitely doesn't take away from the story.
