Wow...
Sort of peripheral to your point, but...
Heavenly Delusion was new to me, so I looked it up and discovered the original manga is by Ishiguro Masakazu, the author of one of my all time favorites, SoreMachi. I don't know how I didn't know that this existed, but I'm all over it now.
SoreMachi is a sort of breezy SOL with bits of weirdness tucked around the edges and an absolutely stellar cast of characters. I'm looking forward to seeing what he does with the weirdness front and center.
Anyway - Kemurikusa is indeed broadly similar to Usuzumi no Hate, but with the significant difference that the characters themselves know next to nothing about the world - aside from what they've gleaned in the time they've lived there, it's as alien and inexplicable to them as it is to us. Actually, in some ways, it's even more alien to them. We can recognize that they live in a derelict railroad car and travel through city ruins, but to them, it's just a box with round things that they found and the world is just a place of open spaces and enclosed spaces.
But now I'm off to binge the Heavenly Delusion (Tengoku Daimakyo) manga.
The anime adaptation of Heavenly Delusion is excellent and I highly recommend it. My main complaint about it is that the season ends at a really interesting point and there has yet to be any season 2 announced. After watching the show, I quickly binged the manga because it is always setting up tons of mysteries and presenting clues that only pay off way, way later.
I read through the first two volumes of the manga yesterday - through chapter 13 - then went back and reread the first volume, since I unsurprisingly could make no sense of it at all the first time through. That was all my brain could take.
I should get through quite a bit more today, since I have a feel for what's happening now. And I'm absolutely enjoying it - thanks for the heads-up.
