* Though most people in ''[[Naruto]]'' don't bother with the details, there is clearly a pretty strong effort to understand the exact nature of chakra. Most of its basic workings can be found in textbooks.
* Much of the early part of ''[[Death Note]]'' consist of Light conducting tests with the Death Note to see what it's capable of -- he takes it to such rigors that he's able to determine restrictions and abilities that even the [[Shinigami|death god]] it formerly belonged to didn't realize it had.

* In ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)|Fullmetal Alchemist]]'', alchemy is studied exactly like a science. Alchemists do research like scientists, and those alchemists employed by the state are required to demonstrate the results of their research once a year in order to continue receiving funding (although the main characters do less research and more fighting with alchemy).
