Afterschool War Activities is beautifully emotional in the same way as Aisopos, though they take up different genres, they are both manhwa from the same era of Webtoons. They both explore human nature in very different ways and I recommend Afterschool War Activities if you enjoyed the more philosophical side of Aisopos. If you enjoyed Afterschool War Activities, the apparent serenity and more melodramatic plot of Aisopos might not immediately speak to you. It's not war-filled (at first, this is Ancient Greece though...) nor is it starkly horrifying. Still, I think Aisopos has an interesting take on humanity that Afterschool War Activities readers might appreciate, as both shed light on humanity's darker sides. read more 

Aisopos is a story about a young boy who was taken away from his family. In this way, he starts out similarly to Sita, though they leave their families in different ways and for different reasons. Watching Aisopos grow up was just as cute as watching Sita struggle was heart-rending. If you liked the characterization in For the Sake of Sita, you may enjoy Aisopos, a well-thought out adaptation of Aesop and his fables. If you're looking for a webtoon that has a sweet transition between timelines in the way that we see adult Aisopos, child Aisopos, and Aisopos's parents then For the Sake of Sita is an awesome romance to try out! We get to watch Aisopos grow up in the same way as Sita, and both stories are heartachingly realistic. Readers of Aisopos may enjoy watching how Sita changes over time. They both examine different cultures and share similarly beautiful art of different worlds.This recommendation leans more into the romance that you find in Aisopos.  read more 

The main characters are slaves, partially because of their parents. They are being thrown around and (ab)used by their masters, who've unmistakably got enough power and authority to be scared of. *The tragedy is strong! 

Although Song of the Long March has not finished, I find that it's similar to Aisopos in it's careful exploration of another culture, and takes you back in time while keeping a sweet fantasy! Filled with scenery, plot, and romance it's like watching a Chinese historical revenge drama, except with a higher quality plot, and you're reading it. I enjoyed that they were both historical in nature. If you're looking for a finished series to help get you through the wait for our unfortunate mangaka to win her legal battle, I highly recommend Aisopos! Historical, exploration of another culture, a cute romance that subtly works its way through the story, and lovely art. Great characters, a compelling story beat... though it doesn't have the very spicy political intrigue, I'm sure you'll enjoy Aisopos' revenge. There's a lot of character to Aisopos.  read more 

If you enjoyed Annarasumanara, you might like the beautiful art concepts within Aisopos and the compelling story. Both webtoons do an excellently heartwrenching job at depicting emotions and capturing life, though Aisopos is a bit more action filled. Aisopos quite beautifully captures the essence of Greek painting and combines it with more modern comic styles. Another webtoon in the same heartwrenching vein as Aisopos, I feel that this webtoon evoked strong emotion in a similar way. They were both enjoyable, though I must caution that Annarasumanara is also more romance centered than Aisopos, and speaks with a more abstract language at times in beautiful art panels.  read more 

Politics, scheming, fight for power - if you enjoy those, you will likely enjoy these titles. Both also have larger cast of characters that come into play as their stories intertwine with each other. 

Set in ancient Greece/ancient Rome, these comics cover battle of wits of the clever characters as they have to deal with difficulties. 

Self-made-young-MC. Smart and ingenious they are looking for their place in the world and building it by themselves. Playing with the themes of war, slavery, commerce, revenge,...
