If you liked xxxHOLiC add

...then you might like MANA add

Mana is like a xxxholic distant cousin. The cultural and historical aspects are presented a similar way on both works, one focusing on Japanese an the other Korean folklore. Both protagonist are taken by a experienced mentor, and get immersed on the spiritual world, while learning more about themselves and personal relationships, in the end, both end up finding a new kind of love on their guides. (In addition, there's also a similar trouple, jealousy kind of interaction with a folklore university student/professor on both stories). While reading, I kept being reminded of their kin elements and it was a really good refreshing feeling, despite its similarities, both are unique well rounded authentic works.
