Bokura no Kiseki reminds me a lot of A Game of Thrones.  

I mean, there is like 1/50th as much fighting and it involves one class in high-school rather than several countries, sure, but other than that ...

What gives me the similar feel is that everyone is scheming.  Everyone is suspicious, everyone lies.  Even the main character has moments where he seems very manipulative.  You'll realize someone is hiding something and you'll think, "ahha, THEY are the culprit," but then it will give you a logical reason for what they're doing and it will make them seem like they're trying to protect themselves from betrayal by someone else.  I think I might know who the main bad guy actually is but I'm well aware that it could be a red herring that's been planted behind the other red herrings.  Then again, even with those close to the main character, it's plausible that some of them are lying and/or hiding something.  

The art gives me a Final Fantasy Tactics vibe, which itself was VERY Game of Thrones before Game of Thrones even came along.

My favorite characters are the girls.  Not a surprise given that the author only cares about female school uniforms (heh) but she seems to construct the female characters with more unique personalities.  One of them is very confident and upfront but she's not an overbearing type.  Another is stoic (reminds me so much of Agrias from FFT) and has a blank expression most of the time but she has her share of conflict below the surface and still manages to be one of the few character you know (hope) is genuinely good.

There are 50+ chapters out, I've read up to chapter 20.  Oh, and if anyone ever wants to try this manga, do not read the comments.  They're literally filled with spoilers.  The very first comment I read spoiled something for me.  Not that big of a deal, because it was something that was hinted at being possible earlier, but I'm not reading comments until I'm caught up.  That's why it also hard to find pages to post here.
