| I guess it depends on what you consider "good." Try the Aku no Hana manga. Starts off like Sundome, but gets much much deeper and darker. |
| Lost Canvas Meiou Shinwa an Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood are quite dark for battle shonen Legend of the Galactic Heroes is similar to Death Note but its not a shonen |
 |
| Fullmetal Alchemist Rurouni Kenshin (from Kyoto arc onwards) |

| Try Shiki. It has that really dark feel in it. Also it keeps you guessing. Also, try out Kara no Kyoukai, it is basically Shingetsutan Tsukihime but with the MC (Shiki) as girl. Just try it, it's a really good anime, and not only does it perfectly fit what you're looking for, it's also one of the best looking animes ever made. |

| Deadman Wonderland - I highly recommend the manga, recently started reading it from the start and am actually enjoying it a lot and the art is pretty damn good especially the way the artists draws the branch of sin. Devilman - manga of course Claymore - watch the anime then read the manga.

ArchVince said: The manga is considerably darker though I think the continuation: Trigun Maximum which tells most of the story but it's a seinen so dunno if it counts.yazio said: Doubt Trigun Devilman Mirai Nikki Trigun is Dark? As far as I remember, Vash was clumsy most of the time. Berserk is not shounen >_> On the subject those that come to in mind as dark and worth checking out are - D.Gray-man. Exorcists fight the suffering souls of the dead. - Mirai Nikki. Twisted romance in a survival game where everybody can die. - Deadman Wonderland. Happens in prison where the prisoners can use "blood bending" - Claymore. Sword fantasy where warrior women fight monsters. - Shigurui. Brutal samurai manga and one of the most horrifying manga I've ever read. Oh, forgot Pandora Hearts. It's a manga where nothing is what it seems and will definitely give you couple of surprises. |

| Yet Berserk is the closest to the thing you want, even if it's for people that are more mature. |
that^^ |

| Definitely Gintama. It has a slow start though. |
 |
| Darker than Black Fullmetal Alchemist Akame ga Kill |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Most of them are already mentioned except for: The Breaker Sengoku Youko Kurenai Ouji Gunslinger Girl You can also try seinen manga, because seinen manga is much darker than shounen in general. Some examples: Berserk Monster Pluto Dorohedoro Mugen no Juunin Kiseijuu The Voynich Hotel All You Need Is Kill Zetman Toukyou Kushu Sugar Dark - Umerareta Yami to Shoujo Kokou no Hito (this more a dark sports manga) Ajin Blame! Rainbow And so on... Most of the dark stuff are seinen. |
