De lo 1ero que pedís lo más parecido que se me ocurre es "To aru Kagaku no Railgun" (trata sobre una ciudad llena de espers y la protagonista es la 3era más fuerte de dicha ciudad, donde le toca enfrentarse a diferentes enemigos). Y de lo 2do se me ocurre "Slayers", aunque es antigua y bastante conocida, muy probablemente la hayas visto ya.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
