What are your left wing manga/anime recommendations? I only got Ninpu Kamui Gaiden, because it is communist and ninjaic? You may shrug you shoulders, but a communist created all the ninja cliches, like a dude named Sasuke and the "Izuna Drop"! Unfortunately, the manga is from 1969, when the United States still had not erased all left-wing presence in Japan.

I like to describe I'm in Love With The Villainess as 'Lesbian isekai with Marxist-Leninist Characteristics', as it has a revolution lead by a vanguard party in the first two light novels (which the manga has yet to get past the first two LNs). 'Part 2' of the story does get away from the same precise political themes a bit but it's still entertaining (and it'll probably be nice if/when the manga gets there).

I haven't gotten to the politics yet beyond a couple of mentions of trade dependency, but it's pretty entertaining so far. Thanks for the recommendation.

Yeah it takes its sweet time to get into the juicy politics. I definetly think the light novel does it better, but it might just be the translator. It also has a lot to say about queer love as well, putting aside the class structure critiques :)
