Synopsis

The Empire of Brittania has invaded Japan using giant robot weapons called Knightmare Frames. Japan is now referred to as Area 11, and its people the 11s. A Brittanian who was living in Japan at the time, Lelouch, vowed to his Japanese friend Suzaku that he'd destroy Brittania. Years later, Lelouch is in high school, but regularly skips out of school to go play chess and gamble on himself.

One day, he stumbles on terrorists 11s who've stolen a military secret and is caught by a member of the Brittanian task force sent after them, who is Suzaku. As the rest of the squad arrives, Suzaku is shot for disobeying orders, while the military secret, a young girl, gives Lelouch the power to make anyone obey any order. He takes command of the terrorists and leads them to crush the approaching Brittanian force. However, Suzaku is secretly made the pilot of Brittania's brand new test model Knightmare, Lancelot. Lelouch becomes the masked king Zero to lead the rebellion to defeat Brittania.

I will be comparing the anime to the manga because I believe that anything made after the original should be critically reviewed.

Lelouch vi Britannia (a prince of Britannia), hiding under the alias Lelouch Lamperouge, is given a great power--the power of Geass--by a mysterious girl. The power grants him the ability to give an order to anyone. He realizes he could change the world through his power to become emperor of Britannia and create an ideal world for his sister, Nunnally. However, the Geass he was given is far more destructive and powerful than he could imagine.

The manga for Code Geass doesn't do justice for read more

Manga: Death Note
It is similar because in both mangas, there is someone that is trying to bring justice to the world in such ways that you would have never thought of. They both have main characters who go to the extremes to get what they think is better for the world.

Manga: Vampire Juujikai
These two manga are so alike to the point that the story is absolutely amazing.

Record of Fallen Vampire is about a vampire king name Strauss who had abandon and destroy his own kingdom. Code Geass is about a disowned prince name Lelouch vi Britannia who has a deep hatred for his birth empire.

In both manga, it talks about how both main character have to use their mind, strength, and sheer will power to obtain their goal. They both have a lonely role where they are always in the position of losing someone they loved. The role that is known as "The  read more

Manga: Zennou no Noa - The World of Lostmemories
zennou no noa haven't got too far for scanlation but both of the story have the same kind of ideal, a boy as a main character and intelligent, wanted to change the world with their power, a girl who would support that main character... Noa and Lelouch have the same kind of sanity ( i guess but no offense to any of the fan out there okay~~) and characteristic. so if anyone who love to read/watch either of these manga are welcome to read the other one if you haven't ...!

Manga: Onanie Master Kurosawa
In many ways, both Kurosawa and Kitahara stem their mannerisms from Lelouch. In regard to Kurosawa, we have someone who is relatively cunning and has a justified purpose. In regard to Kitahara, we have someone who wishes for revenge and would do what it takes to exact her wishes. In fact, they both parody Lelouch in the series.
