The comic called "Tenken" is a perfect one. I've read both in Japanese and English version just released last month. It is based on Japanese mythology "Yamata no Orochi." The one chosen woman has to sarcrifise herself to protect entire villege. But this manga goes deeper than that. The author is using the mythology as a outline of story to show about today's society. There is no such a sarcrifese now days, we think. But if we think about it, we are still doing same thing. One person goes war to protect the country...
It is very beautiful manga. The picture looks like it was written by Japanese brush paint. The author won Japanese media award with this manga.
