I’m not quite sure how to explain any further than that? I’m looking for books that feel like anime (in any genre) because I do think anime tends to kind of… have a feel to it.
I always thought House of Blades by Will Wight had that anime vibe. It’s the first book in the Traveler’s Gate Trilogy
>Simon can only watch, helpless, as his family is killed and his friends captured by enemy Travelers—men and women who can summon mystical powers from otherworldly Territories. To top it off, another young man from Simon’s village discovers that he’s a savior prophesied to destroy evil and save the realm.
>Prophecy has nothing to say about Simon. He has no special powers, no magical weapons, and no guarantee that he’ll survive. But he sets off anyway, alone, to gain the power he needs to oppose the Travelers and topple their ruthless Overlord. It may not be his destiny, but Simon’s determined to rescue his fellow villagers from certain death.
>Because who cares about prophecy, really?

Your best bet is light novels that were adapted to anime.

The anime movie “Howls Moving Castle” is based on the book “Howls Moving Castle” by Dianna Wynne Jones. So to have the anime feel you can watch the movie first or look at pictures from the movie to see that world in your head, if that makes sense.
