The Heart of Thomas

r/mangarecommendations · Looking for Manga Recs that are not Shonen or Seinen.

It sounds like you are maybe into works with a more serious tone? Or would comedy/romance shoujo interest you too? Don't Call It Mystery by Yumi Tamura is a josei mystery series that also touches on psychology and various societal topics. Moto Hagio has many groundbreaking shoujo works like The Poe Clan and The Heart of Thomas. The Rose of Versailles by Riyoko Ikeda is an incredibly influential work of shoujo historical manga.

r/mangarecommendations · Manga that are like Oniisama e, Revolutionary Girl Utena, Nana or Bannana Fish?

Rose of Versailles, has an anime adaptation and you'll probably see how it influenced Utena. The Heart of Thomas, The Poe Clan, and A Cruel God Reigns by Moto Hagio. Made around the same time as Oniisama e, Heart of Thomas has a lot of that mysterious school drama stuff going on. A Cruel God Reigns covers some of the same topics as Banana Fish, although it's not an action series. Requiem for the Rose King. Has a lot of shocking dramatic turns like Oniisama e does. Medieval setting. Has an anime adaptation too.
