mythic manga recs?

[meganbmoore]

Anyone want to rec:

1)  Manga that takes specific myths or legends and turns them on itheir heads and readapts them, either subtly or blatantly, or even just heavily myth based(thinking of things like Saiyuki, Hoshin Engi/Soul Hunter, Shin Angyo Onshi, Otogi Zoshi, etc...)

1A)  Or applies them directly to the modern world(such as Ayashi no Ceres...I'm sure I'll be appalled later for not having more examples of this)

(note:  I'm familiar with One Thousand and One Nights, but am uninterested as making Scherarazade male and leaving the sultan male loses the entire point of the framing story)

2)  Wotl's that are near-direct allegories for ancient asian-or other-societies or myth-based worlds(ex: Fushigi Yugi, Juuni Kokuki/Twelve Kingdoms)
