 If you liked
Gunslinger Girl

 ...then you might like
Ai-Ren
|
The two series feature characters who try to make the most of what's left of their short lives despite their miserable circumstances. Both contain a unique mix of despair and hope although Ai-Ren explicitly favors optimism with its didactic and somewhat verbose text while Gunslinger Girl gives only a few hints and may be more morally confusing for some readers.
