Hello, I wanna read a dark fantasy manga. I'm currently reading Berserk but I'm doing it slowly because I don't wanna reach the hiatus chapter X_X so I need something else to read meanwhile. Would be nice if it's dark fantasy as berserk.

Do not recommend me Ubel Blatt, gave it a try and didn't like it.

Also I tried Zetman but it boried me X_X

It's not so quite dark in the sense of gory, but it's still very mature. The manga is Shinsekai Yori. Masked as a children's manga, everything seems allright until you realize that something is horribly wrong... The themes get pretty dark and bruh so many tearjerker moments. I liked the anime better tho.

Yes it is, the anime adapts the whole manga.

I’m very surprised no one has mentioned the manga Claymore.

I strongly suggest you read Claymore; the protagonist is basically a female Guts, but a little bit more badass! She hunts demons and has someone she protects fiercely. And the setting is a perfect Dark Fantasy.

The manga is pretty lengthy and it’ll keep you busy for quite some time.

Anime is bad; the manga is SPECTACULAR. The anime was rushed due to constraints. Things are way more fleshed out in the manga and the events where the anime concluded are 100% different in the manga.

I get where you’re coming from though, as I’ve seen the anime.

IF you can't wait for the anime, Goblin Slayer is a good manga to pass time while reading Berserk

then there's Akame Ga Kill, though it's the same as Ubel Blatt

Shin Angyo Onshi, branded as Korean Berserk

Then Stravaganza - Isai no Hime which is quite similar to Claymore

Thanks for your answer. I'm not interested in Goblin Slayer since it has very few chapters and i'ts not finished.

I used to read Akame Ga Kill like 4 years ago when it was still publishing but I got bored.

I didn't like Ubel Blatt X_X

Shin Angyo is too old, I'm pretty picky in regard with old art style :(

Stravaganza: Same as Goblin Slayer.

For those who recommended me Claymore, I don't have so much interest on reading this since I've read a lot of bad reviews :/

Vinland Saga, while more historical, definitely fits the feel of dark fantasy, without a doubt. While not on hiatus though, it does come out pretty slowly (but you've still got 20 volumes to get through in the meantime!)

Wolfsmund is actually by one of Miura's assistants. Also historical, but also one of the goriest things I've ever read.

Yona of the Dawn is on the shojo line of things, not quite as dark, but still epic fantasy

Basara is similar to Yona, being on the shojo spectrum. But the woman can hella draw, pretty sure she does draw a horse getting cut down at one point (also, there is a beheading in the very first volume), so it's darker than Yona.

Fire Punch, I've only read the first volume so far, but it seems to be going along those lines

Seconding Threads of Time, it needs more love

If Claymore doesn't work out, then you can always drop it later. I would still give the manga a try though, becasue as others said above, while the anime is crap, the manga is done really, really, really well. But hey, it's your time so you do what you feel like, if you don't want to read it then that's fine as well.

Other recommendations:
Vinland Saga (I've heard this is alright from otehr people who've read it and berserk, haven't read it myself though)
Gantz
