If you liked Tatakau Shisho: The Book of Bantorra add

...then you might like Shiki add

I may be the only one to compare with Tatakau Shisho, but I have my reason. Both have a good plotting, and mostly, it is hard to say whom actually the leading characters because everybody takes their role and sharpen the story. Even though Shiki is less tight than Tatakau Shisho, it still has the same quality as it also has mysteries, surprise plots, and hard to guess how it will end the story. Both have tales to told (in Tatakau Shisho, it is the children fairy tale about the man whom taking "book" from a dead and deliver to the precious one. In Shiki, it's the novel written by the monk), respectfully speak about religious approach, questioning life and death, thicken with despair and pain. Both also leave all characters in gray area. None are perfect people, each of them struggle with loneliness, the need of love, faith, and jealousy. For some reasons, I feel that Chacoly from Tatakau Shishou and Sunako from Shiki have similar loneliness. As a closing, both are originally from novel, then adapted into manga before ended as anime.
