Hey,

Write your favorite horror manga down, write reviews, discuss about seinen and horror manga, write recommendations and recommend which manga you do like to have in the relations list.

I think we should include Vinland Saga and Pluto. Vinland Saga because it was the most realistic manga I've ever read with its medieval europe theme, sex,nudity, and brutal kill. Pluto because, same like monster it is also a journey of a man (Detective in pluto, Doctor in monster) to find mysterious serial killer.

Vinland Saga and Pluto are good relations, i just didn't thought of those because i haven't read them yet. And I will include them on our relations list! I heard Vinnland Saga is similar to many manga I've read so far and there are many gorish pictures on the net. Everything of Naoki Urasawa has the right to come to our list. Thank you for your recommendation :) Oh and I have a question, where does Pluto play? I like the fact, that Monster plays in Germany. Everything looked so german, i can assess it - i live here in Germany lol

Pluto set in Duseldorf Germany on the near future where robot do exist. Robot has an absolute law "to never kill human" and Our hero here is robot detective named Geslicht. The main cases here is several murder to 7 strongest robot and the member of robot foundation which all of members is human. The main problem here is that there were no traces of Human and Gesicht sure that robot never kill human with exception a cases 8 years ago.

Same like monster, Pluto is also a journey of mystery. From Dusseldorf to Turkey, from turkey to japan so on so forth. There's also a character named Dr. Tenma here XD

I think Vinland Saga will suit you well Shino since you like berserk. The amount of nudity of Vinland Saga is less tham Berserk but There's no magic on it. It only took me 3 days to catch up from chapter one to now 108

I tried Vinland Saga out, but i stuck on chapter 1 :/ i started to read something else. I want to read it as well, but freesia, leviathan and now Pluto uugh it has to wait again. And i can resemble it with berserk, when guts was still on his journey with the band of hawks, there was no magic or it was minimal. But i hope you'll like the art, the future story and the development of guts character.

Yeah, It was a rough start. Vinland Saga first chapter consist 88 pages, no doubt someone will be tired.
Plus, I forgot to mention Annarasumanara, It's seinen romance and I think it's worth for relation. Sorry for the many request :p

actually there are even very rough sex scenes lol it will be difficult to find another manga with such vibes and no sex, sex is very common in seinen. Try Kingdom out, well it will have very few sex scenes, but the atmosphere is similar (and no magic as well).

And don't worry, our list is till not finished, it's nice to find many new titles we could add! :) i'll take a glimpse on Annarasumanara.

May I request to include This and This manga It doesn't have gore, nudity (well ookami has actually) or anything like that, but I think it's perfect example for good seinen drama.
Both manga is very short you know, so I suggest everyone to give it a try. even though you didn't like it in the end. It's not waste much of your time

I added Harukana Machi-E, the story is very good. A 48yo drunkard got back to the time when he was 14 and is a teenager again. I only read 6 chapter and i'll finish it today for sure. The story is like the wish to get to your younger self and do everything better in school, sports and social, because you still know almost everything and you more mature than yourself some years ago. Thanks for the recommendation Kira! This Relation should also show, that this blog is not only about bizarre stories and horror. Mature stories are welcome as well!
And to be honest, i know less of those kind of seinen manga, i run a horror manga blog on tumblr and i read almost only horror and seinen manga with lot of gore, because my blog contains only gore and horror. Oh and i'll read Annarasumanara till tomorrow, but i have to go to a birthday now :)

I just finished Harukana Machi-E and it's a beautiful story about a men, who time traveled coincidentally back to his teenager year. I know i wrote it in the post above. The story is more about the familiar problems of the happy family of Hiroshi (the man) and it's shortly before his father has left his family. He is doing his best to know why his father left them suddenly, because the family suffered very much of this loss. It's very nice to see how a 14 year old boy acts like a normal kid, who's mentally 48, he finds a new love, he has a great friend and everybody praises him how he matured in a short time. But because of his mentality he understands all situations better as a kid, and this drives him to depression -then he knows what the outcome is. All in all, the manga is very nice to read and tbh, those 16 were not as lightly to read as other manga. Normally i would have finished 16 chapters in a hour and half or less, but this took me over 2 and half hours read.

Glad you like it. If you want a manga with same vibe as that, then I'd suggest to check suiiki. Just recommendation.

i put Suiiki on my plan to read list, but now i want to finish Annarasumanara ^^ i'm on chapter 8 and it's good! the way the webtoon is illustrated is very cool, using many so abstract drawn perspectives. And the storie is not bad either, i'll add it to our list.

oh and i want to wait before i start reading Suiiki, i want to finish the other manga i'm reading already and wolf children. With Annarasumanara and Harukana Machi-E, there would to many Drama Seinen at once for me ._. btw. have you read some mangas with gore?

It's been a long time, since someone recommended something. There is less than 2 months left to my final highschoolexams, and all other exams are going to be in this those 2 months... that means i'll be as absent as previously :( but anyway, i started to read Eden - it's an endless world. If you're into sci-fi, seinen, action or psychological, then you will like this one. I'm only at chapter 20 and i don't really understand the whole plot.. I can't really summarize it, but i give it a try.
There was an outbreak of a new pandemic virus, which is even with the plague, i can't remember the real name, but they gave the synonymous 2nd plague. The whole world was panicking and 15% of humanity was wiped out. Now the whole story plays 20 years later, the whole technological state of art has progressed immensely and there are cyborgs, new military weapons and etc. The new generation of the human race is immune to the virus. Now a boy called Elliah is the protagonist and he dumps into an organization called nomades and fights with them, the goal is still unclear and there were fights with guerrillas and so on.
The Art is really cool, sometimes very brutal, nice drama, the manga is kinda deep, it has many connections to the bible and their myths.

My Exam is next monday and this two weeks was a hard weeks, so I maybe often inactive aswell. but I still manages to read Gunnm (currently at 13) which is a good manga especially if you like Sci-fi and Martial arts.

Eden sounds interesting and it's on Divine (I essentially have same taste with him) favorites. I'll probably will check it.

It's been a while! i'm about to write my final exams for school which are important for entering uni.. wish me luck ^^
but well i simultaneously read some manga and i found an underrated horror manga. School Ningyo is the title. It's about a rumor of a school, that you can call mermaids at night and they have a letter on them. If you kill the Mermaid with a letter and eat it's flesh, the person you think of who starts with the letter will start to fall in love with you. But if you don't make it (because the mermaids run away of you), you turn into a mermaid, when the sun rises. Anyway there is not a single story, it has many different plots with different characters. They're not connected to each other, but they're in the same situation and it has always a different ending. It has nice plot twists, gory scenes, many struggles, good vibes of horror. Even though the mermaids are little girls in swimsuits, (no ecchi) the backgrounds do their job at creating a dark atmosphere. It has a rating of 6,82 or something, but i would give it a 9. I only read the 8 chapter from Batoto, but there are still 6 chapter left and i really want to see the end, since it gets pretty scary at the moment. Check it out :)

i think i'm going on short hiatus again, i'll read manga and watch anime, i'll be active on tumblr and i'll try to give always an answer, if you write me. But writing recommends and updating the relations list, won't be possible :/

Today the last chapters of Shamo were published on online manga sites.. It started to read it this year and it found a place in my favorite list. It starts with the with a boy called Ryo Narushima, who gets in a juvenile camp for murdering his parents and nobody knows why he stabbed his parents with a knife, so people start to call him parentkiller and give him a hard time there. He starts to learn Karate in a program from the camp. That's where Ryo founds his enthusiasm to Karate and started to train everyday and night, he easily overwhelmed everybody from his program and that changed his whole lifestyle. After the juvenile camp he found out, that his karate was not a typical style, his had many forbidden and unfair moves. That's why he couldn't be a normal karateka and because of his past he had no other choices except of being a bodyguard in the underground, he was some kind of yakuza.
Ryo turns to the most anti-heroic character i ever know, he takes drugs, kills people, rapes women and he is very anti social.
Afterwards some scouts find him and want to make Ryo a professional karateka.

The Art is extremely gloomy, so the atmosphere turns to be gloomy as well, the fighting scenes show no pity and the story shows the deepest depth of desperation.
I have to admit, that this Manga Shamo, is not perfect, it has arcs that are not that important and there are many open questions. But i enjoyed reading it! Almost as much as Gantz, and Gantz is my top favorite ^^

Hello any and everyone. Recently got invited to this club and am glad to join.

I have yet to read a lot of horror and sinen related manga, since there are very few that were available to me at my local bookstores. Hopefully that changes and if not there's always online.

Anyway, probably the only manga series that I have yet to finish and that caught my eye years ago is Arm of Kannon (Birth). There is a page for it here on MAL, but I know there's not a lot of talk or information on it. It seemed like a pretty interesting story about one of the many arms of Kannon that held mystical powers and would curse those who possess it. Needless to say there is a lot of gore, brutality, some sexual innuendo, and a lot of wonder with this manga. I do hope to try and find online versions, but if not I plan to buy the books one at a time when I can find them in order. I only have 1, 2, and 4.

god damn, i finished the manga Leviathan and i don't understand it. People if you want to read something with nice art, many myths and cool ideas, but an extremely complex plot then read Leviathan. And don't forget to explain me what happens after all :'D

wow. I people, go and read the manga Smuggler. This one has 4 chapter, but it's so deep! You get to know all the important characters, they're unique and they're all connected to each other. The story shows drama, twists, action, gore, good dialogs, very good suspense and an extreme dark atmosphere. Imagine Ichi the Killer's Yakuza Plot and Himizu dark story fuse together and show the maximum potential in 4 chapters.
That Manga is very great, i put it instantly in our relation list and btw, i got plenty titles to add!

It could be, that i'm hyping this manga to much, but give this one a try (there are only 4 chapters).

And now i took the time to read Tomie by Junji Ito. And it's a pity that i read it that late. Tomie is very good manga to start with horror manga! There are several short stories of a girl called tomie. She's very beautiful and has some mysterious powers, like her splitting and regenerating power, and the power to make everybody obsessed with tomie, so much that they want to kill her.
There are 20 short stories and everyone is individual, original, fucked up and has a good story!
The art is great and the gore scenes as well!

Well just try to read, if you have the time to! you won't regret it!
