@akari_mizunashi, you continue to keep this thread alive with awesome recs... Thank youuuu! <3
But lol, no, I didn't create the based-on-a-classic category - someone else must have seen this thread and done it... I wish they would come forward so I can thank them for making my life so much easier!
@Highway-STAR... Yes, I'm female. Others probably know about it because occasionally I talk about my personal history on forums like Chatter Box, and I have revealed my gender there.
@Divina, thank you so much for finding stuff that isn't even on BU yet... Hopefully those titles will be added soon!

I skimmed through and i'm shocked, no one mentioned Houshin Engi?
Awesome stuff there (very) loosely adapted by a Chinese (some claim Japanese) classic. Character and plot driven, it's a old series that has interesting art (it gets better, really) and characters that most people would like.

Glass Mask has been mentioned, but I'll expand on it a bit.
The protagonist is an actor, so there are plays like "Little Women" and "The Miracle Worker" in there. Other famous plays in the series:
