Space. The destination of dreams and glory. Humans. The curious pathfinders. Friends. The companions with whom we share ourselves.

...then you might like Inari, Konkon, Koi Iroha. add

A small but intriguing exploration of Japanese folkrore as a background to the light-hearted, cute and romantic story of a child growing up from frailty and humbleness to sensibleness.

...then you might like Sarah: The Legend of Mother Sarah add

Katsuhiro Otomo is much like the japanese son of Michael Bay and Robert Rodriguez's sensible sister: it doesn't matter how much something is already shattered and destroyed, you can always find a way to blow it up even more if you need drama.

...then you might like Sarah: The Legend of Mother Sarah add

The world is in ruin: street gangs and guerrilas straight out from Kenshiro roam the land, there are scraps and deserts just about everywhere and it's much like living on Pandora, except no one finds these Borderlands so funny. On the contrary, we have lonely female heroes dealing with both major dramatic stories and side events, which serve either as world building or establishing characters, combined with beautiful sci-fi and cyberpunk imagery.

If you liked Eden: It's an Endless World! add

...then you might like Sarah: The Legend of Mother Sarah add

Both works received great influences from western sci-fi while also being of capital importance for their own genre: Eden was a milestone for cyberpunk, Mother Sarah for post-apocalyptic fiction. They share various degree of political undertones and individual struggle in the midst of bigger events, but while Eden has a multi-layered complex plot about life and evolution, Mother Sarah resembles more a Hollywood blockbuster directed by Michael Bay, like most of Otomo's stuff.

...then you might like Eden: It's an Endless World! add

The world is ending, facing its imminent demise in the form of a major natural disaster caused by the wrongdoings of humanity. Meanwhile, a considerable amount of characters struggle to survive, understand and restore the world before the imminent Apocalypse takes place, all the while crossing their paths and reflecting about the meaning of life and the faults of human beings, with not-so-subtle religious and philosophical themes and the bellic setting enriching the stories.

If you liked NHK ni Youkoso! add

...then you might like Umibe no Onnanoko add

The main reason behind the similiarity between these two stories might be spoilerish, but it ultimately lies in the relationship between the two main characters and the mutual use and abuse they make of each other.

If you liked Gogo Monster add

...then you might like Satougashi no Dangan wa Uchinukenai: A Lollypop or A Bullet add

The path to adulthood is often harsh and requires the sacrifice of dreams and innocence. Are children really able to do this all alone?

If you liked Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu add

...then you might like Kyoukaisenjou no Horizon II add

Both titles deal with sci-fi themed war stories, a huge cast of equally well-developed characters, a multilayered narration of political intrigues, country management and a rich side dish of historical references and battle of wits. Horizon might seem more light-hearted, action-oriented and dumb at first, but it shares with LoGH the same epic (as in "full of heroism and grandeur") atmosphere, typical of this kind of tales.

...then you might like Vampire Sensou add

Both are made by the same (in)glorious staff and deal with first class horror plots which make absolutely perfect sense. They also leave the viewer with a fuzzy and warm feeling of self-realization when completing them, mostly for the achievment of surviving after all those plot twistes, breathtaking fights and stunning dialogues.

If you liked Octave add

...then you might like Prunus Girl add

Though Prunus Girl tends to narrate more about sexuality issues and is far more light-hearted, both of these manga have lots of good shoujo-ai elements and delicate relationship.
