Witches

Witches

In a world that is now dominated by religion, few exist who still believe in the old ways of magic and even rarer are those who still practice the ancient arts. Though branded by the majority as heretics, witches still exist across the world and come in many guises. From vengeful sorceresses and a shaman calling upon the spirits to protect her homeland from invading soldiers, to provincial witches in tune with the very world around them, these magic users remain relentlessly shunned by the institutions around them. But while religious heads and pompous rulers see their very existence as a stain on humanity, these witches have more to teach the world than we could possibly know...

Memories of Emanon and Majo explore fringe phenomena, all while maintaining a thoughtful, subdued mood. Both are very philosophical, and intrigued by eternality and the esoteric. I think they would appeal to the same audience.

Immortal memory. Omoide Emanon and Frieren at the Funeral both follow individuals who outlive the mortals they reside with, quite a lifestyle has been shown in both manga to be slightly depressing as such a preternatural being.

Omoide Emanon does this with the mind, as Emanon's memories go back to when life began. Frieren at the Funeral does this with Frieren simply living as a regular immortal being would.

Both are quite depressing manga, though they do have their light moments to spare for the audience. Would recommend both.

I found these two manga to be somewhat similar in tone. Both are classic science fiction stories, for starters. They detail the daily lives of women that aren't quite human and will live for much longer than a human could ever hope to, but in different ways. Emanon is a much more self-contained story, whilst Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou is slice-of-life.  Both also had highly-detailed backgrounds. I would definitely recommend both.
