Both the manga and the anime are about abandoned children who turn feral, but are suddenly reintroduced to society. Both are shown to be wild, ugly creatures who are beguiled by something the world of man. Both are fairly melancholy with some action sequences.

Stranger: Mukou Hadan

Stranger: Mukou Hadan

Kotarou is a brash young orphan in war-torn Japan, on the run from mysterious pursuers with Tobimaru, his faithful canine companion. Clueless as to why anyone would want him, much less imperial warriors from mainland China, a chance encounter with a strange wandering swordsman could not be more unwelcome in Kotarou's skeptical eyes – especially when the stranger has a secret past that has caused him to seal his blade. Forced by circumstance to work together for survival, the unlikely duo forge a tenuous friendship that is threatened all too soon when Kotarou's pursuers thrust the two into a dizzying whorl of clashing ambitions between men both big and small. Will the stranger manage to overcome his past and save them both from peril with his blade?
