Parallel (manga)

A manga, typically categorized within the science fiction or alternate reality genres, where the core concept involves the existence of, or travel between, parallel universes or timelines. These parallel worlds often feature variations of the protagonist, other characters, or historical events, creating a narrative driven by comparison, contrast, and the exploration of "what if" scenarios. Common themes include the impact of choices on different realities, the nature of identity, and the potential consequences of tampering with alternate timelines. The narrative structure can range from simple character swaps to complex multiverse plots.
