Biomega...:D That is dark...
Xblade doesn't seem bad either.

Both have serious gore, and biomega also is sort of apocalyptic and like I already said, DARK... Read for a while and you know what I mean, plus it has cool bike:D

It of course depends on whether you like action or romance?

Basilisk(Not exactly seinen but oh well..) , Berserk, Tenjou Tenge, Hellsing, Elfen Lied are some that will stand out for action.

But for romance and comedy, you can try UnbalanceXUnbalance, B-Shock and a few other "Ecchi"s are a good time pass.

P.S: Tenjou Tenge is extremely detailed. The manga is very painful to read due to the excessive average text in each panel :???:

P.S*: I hate Shoujo as well :heh:. Its just the one plot rinsed and repeated in different settings :mad:

Yeah, Tenjou Tenge has some...heart wrenching moments, but the art is beautiful. The only pet peeve I have with it is that most of the time, it has way too much text. Which is another reason why I stopped reading Air Gear. It's gotten too emo and all the text is just killing it. Also feels like the artist is trying out a new art style recently, trying to make everything look "cool" and "slick". Looks like crap IMO. The earlier art is much better.

The reason I dont like shoujo is because of the art style. Also the way the story is told. " The male is depcited feminime and says really senseless and stupid lovey dovery stuff. Bottom line, I dont care if your gay just keep your ass out of the air. I HATE FEMMY MALE HATE

Berserk and Vagabond are very good. Vagabond is great especially if you like really well done art. Berserk's art is kinda on the crappy side in the beginning but about half way through the artist hits his stride and everything is amazing after that. Overall though, the story in Berserk and Vagabond are the best.

Basically anything by Naoki Urasawa represents a mature work in the intellectually mature sense of the word. I'd personally recommend Monster and 20th Century Boys, however his more recent work, Pluto is said to be very good as well.

Other than that, give Bokurano a try. A very depressing essay about human psychology and its reaction to an inevitable catastrophe...

Any on the level of the author of gantz? He started out real newby and perverted. Atfer a few hundred chapters his works were less perverted and oh so detailed 0_0. I admire his artwork :D.

I'd like the anime to be like that :(

Regardless, I wanted to recommend Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle, but seeing Clamp is a girl group then you don't want it. Other than that White Clouds is a very good one shot manga, just a chapter long, so you could waste a few minutes to read it. Quite pretty really... Right now I'm reading Mirai Nikki and Shadow Star. The first is Fate/Stay Night with cellphones pretty much, it's ok if you're into the genre. Shadow Star is the killer loli type. Drawings are cute, everything is cute but then you have a girl being forced a test tube up her vagina. I don't know if you watched the anime, but it's sort of ass. The manga closes events at least... Read about it to see if it interests you as I can't really say what happens without spoiling much.

TRC is mature? Certainly it's more mature than Card Captor Sakura, but I'd hardly call it 18+

Basically, I agree with all that Proto suggested, actually. Couldn't have put one better.

Battle Royale. About a bunch of highschool students trapped on an island and have to kill each other off 1 by 1. Kinda like survivor only alot more deadly.

Of course its available in all major languages.
