I realise that what I'm recommending is outright fantasy but Shin Angyo Onshi is very good and worth a read. Akira too if you've only seen the film.

Vagabond has some of the best art you'll see in any manga. Vinland saga is great and a pretty big departure from Planetes for most of the series. Lone wolf and cub is a classic but Dark Horse's translation can be pretty annoying at times due to the sheer amount of untranslated japanese

Chas McGill posted:After reading a bunch of josei recently*, I want something to redress the balance. What are some good cyberpunk/near-future mangas with a dark outlook? I'm planning on trying Akira already, and I didn't particularly like the manga version of GitS. Blame is on my list as well. Riki-oh and Damned are both fairly entertaining and fit what you want

Read Akira if you've only seen the film. Everyone read Akira if you've only seen the film.

Everything Burrito posted:Usogui: Usogui is pretty violent a lot of the time and also gets updated so slowly you forget whats happening, its great though. No idea why its updated so slowly since afaik the manga is hundreds of chapters ahead of the scans

Its George Bush rather than a generic US president and you forgot that Che Guevara is in it. Obama also appears later on

Prison with Che Guevara and Neanderthal man were both the third series. Series 2 is serial killers then Chinese kung fu tournament then Muhammed Ali. The anime if you can track it down covers the entire first manga series and introduces almost all of the characters that appear later on, but honestly isn't particularly necessary since the series is entirely people beating the poo poo out of each other. Garouden is by the same artist but based on a series of light novels and features similarly muscled people beating the poo poo out of each other, slightly more realistic though. Teeth get smashed out all over the place because nobody wears a mouth guard

No idea, I think its written way more serious than this manga adaptation since there is some other more serious manga series based on it but I've not read the novels, since I don't know any Japanese

It may turn out to be terrible, but with WSJ starting a manga with people beating the poo poo out of each other it seems fitting. Kengan Asura is about corporations hiring people to fight each other or something its only got 2 chapters so far but has 12 volumes http://bato.to/comic/_/comics/kengan-asura-r15089

I think I might have asked before, but whats the deal with when Drifters gets released it seems completely random. Does the guy just have freedom to produce a chapter when he wants as a result of how popular hellsing was?

There is definitely another city because the main characters visit someone who had been a victim of a magic user in another city iirc. Its a minor complaint really

the baki anime covers the entire first manga series, if not quite in the same order. Also read Tough, both what is translated of the first series but especially the sequel which is Baki as done by the guy who made riki-oh

Ytlaya posted:I kind of think that it's supposed to. Dorohedoro doesn't really take place on the Earth, and as far as we know their world really is small. i know its not meant to take place on earth but there are 2 cities the magic users materialise in and then clearly a huge world that isn't just these cities that is never explored. i don't mind en being ruler of the world so much even if it makes it small but i'd like it to be a bit bigger
