Read Osamu Tezuka's ODE TO KIRIHITO.
This is a very good - but very difficult - read. Human, fallible characters are brought to (or near) ruin by their - or others - greed, lust, desire, ambition, or need for revenge against the backdrop of a mysterious medical condition creeping out of a small isolated town in Japan. Some very human unpleasantness surrounding the fantastical elements.
