Hi guys. I've been wondering if there are other depressing mangas like Oyasumi Punpun? I want it to include elements like suicide. I've read Orange and loved it but I'm searching for a manga completely darker than that. Thank you for your time! :D

Oyasumi Punpun is my favorite manga. With that being said, I've read many more manga along the same lines, and most of them aren't as depressing as Punpun. They're still good, though, but don't expect much crazier than that.

Aku no Hana (The Flowers of Evil)
Ningen Shikkaku (No Longer Human)
Kamisama ga Uso wo Tsuku (The Gods Lie)
Watashitachi no Shiawase na Jikan
Koe no Katachi (A Silent Voice)
Homunculus
Onanie Master Kurosawa
Jisatsutou (Suicide Island)


Along with Inio Asano's other works, of course.

Nijigahara Holograph
Umibe no Onnanoko (A Girl on the Shore)
Solanin


A bit less depressing, but you may also like Naoki Urasawa's works, along with some of Osamu Tezuka's. 20th Century Boys and Monster are both great. As for Tezuka, just read whatever peaks your interest.

Ludwing Kakumei had one first chatper. Enough to scare me off totally, but maybe you'll love it.

Wow. Thank you for the recommendations. I have only read 3 of them and watched No Longer Human; I have a feeling I will love the rest of them.

I'm not sure, since I haven't read any of the above-mentioned manga.
I have a thing for tragedies, but the manga I'll recommend isn't even one (the ending is somewhat "optimistic"), yet it is by far the most horrible/painful manga I read until now: Zankoku na Kami ga Shihai suru.

Just a heads up, the manga for No Longer Human is so much better than the anime they put out, and they're nothing alike. I would definitely suggest reading the manga. But keep in mind that it's a bit hard to find online. You'll have to find the right one.

The synopsis is interesting... I'll read it some time. :D

I see. I have already loved the anime adaptation, I'll read it too if you suggest me to. :D
