Another-wallpaper-300x207 Novels Like the Anime Another [Honeyfeed Recommendations]

Many anime fans have seen the popular mystery series Another, in which protagonists Mei Misaki and Kouichi Sakakibara must solve the secrets behind the terrible curse that has taken the lives of many of their close ones. Unlike the more popular manga to anime adaptation, this school horror story first began in the format of a light novel; a Japanese novel that is published in volumes. We're all clear that the Japanese have great ideas when it comes to creating stories to be adapted into anime or manga, like so, western authors often write stories with the same intentions. When a writer creates a story and publishes it for free on the internet, this is called a web novel.

Like the light novel Another, there are great reads that also feature chilling cases of death, curses, and mysterious characters all centered in a school theme. If you want to read similar stories to Another, we recommend the following web novels brought to you by Honeyfeed!

Like Another, Galaktika Gamble: Stolen Light centers on the ‘curse’ surrounding a mysterious character, a curse that causes the death of anyone that comes too close to them.

But, they are not truly alone, as the protagonists of both novels seem to not be directly affected by their friend’s 'curse' and are more than eager to help them figure out the cause behind their misfortune.
