Example: "As long as there's trust in a relationship, there's hope in the war." - Stendhal Sorry if this manga is not really what you're looking for...and it's smut.

My personal recommendation would be the anime adaptation of Gankutsuou , though. It was based on Dumas' Count of Monte Cristo, and the artwork is stunning. ________________ It's a story of my birth in the morning and death in the evening. Ah...this loneliness of ours is a jewel bearing a color similar to the story.

All stuff I've ever heard, mostly because it aired as an anime too, was about young erotic/incest writers (R-15, Oniichan dakedo Ai Sae Areba Kankeinai yo ne, Kanojo wa Kanno Shosetsuka), so the main point isn't really literature. The only one I know about a writer who suited my tastes is Mahoraba, but that's hardly the main focus of the story. He wanted to be a children author and that's pretty much all, still the manga is nice. ________________ What I like in Trivial Pursuit style. Pick your category:
