Certainty Certainty says...

A similar story in terms of realism, something that is usually badly lacking.  

Jormangand is no where near as serious as gunslinger girl, but both are good modern war/limited war expositions.

there are good characters in both who are not wraped up in emotional issues, and are doing there jobs.

I will admit that their plots are not very similar, but if you are the kind of person who enjoyed one, you will probobly be atractedto the other.
