Funouhan

Similar ambiance and themes - Dark psychological stories about murder and assassination - Both male leads lead by the nose their opponents and succed in creating a "Perfect Crime" - The Female lead (in Conductor) and the Policeman (in Funouhan) both have a strong sense of justice and naive side which get them influenched by the male lead - Few volumes (at least for now) which makes it quick to read and enjoyable As for differences : - Only one baseline scenario in Conductor while Funouhan focus on different characters each chapters - A bit of romance included in Conductor - Conductor style is more inspired by shojo / josei manga drawing style, thus become easier to read for younger people
