Kind of a cliché answer but there's a reason Osamu Tezuka is so well regarded. While in America he's mainly known for stuff like Astro Boy or Black Jack I would recommend his works from the 70s when he focused on the darker side of the human condition. Ode to Kirihito a young doctor at a prestigious hospital tries to navigate the politics of medicine and is sent to an isolated village where there's an outbreak of a mysterious disease that turns people into animals. MW Michio Yuki lives a double life. By day he's a rising star at his job as a banker, by night he kidnaps people for ransom and then kills both the person he kidnaps and the victim who pays the ransom. The motivations for his actions stretch back 15 years to an isolated island shortly after the end of the war. For more modern stuff I'm a big fan of Makoto Yukimura. Planetes is just straight up one of my favorite manga and his ongoing series, The Vinland Saga, is also really good. Planetes is cool for its realistic depictions of the dangers of space travel.
