If you liked Bleach add

...then you might like Genkaku Picasso add

Bleach is about a living guy that helps the dead. Genkaku Picasso is about a dead guy that helps the living! There are some things that the Bleach fans might find rejecting at first sight about GP. GP is drawn in a style a bit like shojo, although it's shonen. Also, it's a bit weak at first. But when you get into it, it's a really good shonen manga. In the third and final volume everything is put together and you see the whole picture (pun, hehe) and that's when the manga reaches it's highest level.

If you liked Shinseiki Evangelion add

...then you might like Danza add

Neon Genesis Evangelion is full of refences to other works. Among them, the Odyssey. The distant and estranged relationship between father and son gives the story vibrant energy and this energy is canalized through violence. But what happens in real life where sons and their fathers see the great distance between them and there are no giant robots to take out your frustration? Danza is an amazing collection of short stories where broken bonds within the family is the main theme. A more realistic and modest narration about all the Shinjis and Gendos out there.

If you liked Hi no Tori (1967) add

...then you might like Negative Happy Chainsaw Edge add

In aesthetics these two mangas are very different. Tezuka, with his corpulent characters and often small squares on his pages, doesn't look as beautiful/cool/evolved as modern manga. "Negative Happy Chainsaw Edge" is far from as mature and epic as Hi no Tori, on the contrary it gives a somewhat pubertal impression. But both stories tell something about death and about living your life, and that's why I make this recommendation. Under the coat of adventure and humor, both stories ask questions that are relevant for all living beings!

If you liked Natsu e no Tobira add

...then you might like Thomas no Shinzou add

Both works are made by artists from 24-Gumi. Keiko and Hagio actually lived together! Both stories are based in european boarding schools for boys and they evolve around themes as juvenile love and desperation. Male to male attraction is a larger theme in Heart of Thomas, but also plays a (much more tragic) role in The doorway to summer.
