Just recently got into manga. In the past whenever I found a series I wanted to read, there was already an anime adaptation for it and I prefer anime. I have a habit of reading manga like I watch anime, reading the dialogue and glancing at the art, but I've slowed down and learning to appreciate it more. I read Naruto; started back when there was a year straight of filler, or at least felt like it, and now just read it since it's ending this year and want to see how it ends.

Last weekend I found Wolf Guy - Wolfen Crest while randomly searching through a manga webstie and read all 117 chapters in one day. Could have gone without the 20 chapters of rape, but other than that it was amazing.

Then after a quick search I read that the same guy made a manga called Akumetsu, but I'm having trouble getting into it, most likely going to drop it.

Short version: looking for a manga similar to Wolf Guy (perhaps with less/no rape). I guess action/romance/supernatural with a similar protagonist to Inugami. Or similar to Hei from Darker Than Black.

Planning to read Zetman; watched the anime a while ago and wasn't satisfied with how rushed it felt, was hoping the manga wouldn't have the same feeling.

Berserk is a must-read, but it's heavy on sexual themes and gore.
One-Punch Man is really short, but it's also pretty great.
Green Blood is a good Wild West story, if not a bit gory.

All those pay good attention to details and backgrounds, other than that, there's plenty of good shounen you may want to give a try:
Beelzebub could be the light version of Wolf Guy based on the synopsis.
Magi: Labyrinth of Magic is a good shounen slightly based on the 1000 Nights.
The Breaker its a pretty good battle manwha.

Good luck finding anything of your taste.
