I've already looked at
Godchild
Vampire knight

What about the other manga of yuki kaori?
And KUSUMOTO Maki.
Also manga by MIHARA Mitsukazu like DOLL: IC in a Doll, Tamashii no Futago.
Hrodulf and Bjornolfr, you will not be forgotten.

Quote from Coluche
If one day you feel useless and depressed, remember: one day you were the fastest spermatozoon of all.
The speed of light is faster than the speed of sound, which is why sometimes people look bright until they start talking.
Great, I wasted more than half an hour on this... 🤢 I had included other characters, but the manga itself wasn't as gothic.

Vampire Kisses: Blood Relatives
Gothic Sports
...maybe even Princess Ai and The Tarot Cafe (though it's been quite awhile since I read either).
If it weren't for the gutter, my mind would be homeless.
not sure if this works but
Dance in the Vampire Bund

DOLL: IC in a Doll, Beautiful People and the works by Mihara-sama are the 'hidden gems' that you're looking for.. some of her works are licensed by Tokyopop but HAH, if you're a fan of gothic-loli manga, then her works are a **MUST-HAVE. ** 😐

I'm not into Vampires especially since I wan't to stab Edward Cullen and his weirdo girlfriend/follower Bella to death. I hate the movie, the books and the theme of extreme "romeo and juliet"ish love , the story is not creative and doesn't interest me( and the cult of fangirls that follow this sh*t doesn't make me liek it either). The whole "damsel in distress" theme makes me wanna puke too, so I'm not that into Vampire Knight and such, the heroine is too girly, which is why, on a random note, i like shonen-ai, because the romance usually features strong characters and can go either way, if you know what i mean.I'm a sadist sometimes. I usually go for shonen titles if I want to read a horror title that won't make me fall asleep by page 3. Romance and horror don't mix, there are rare expetions. I like somethinmg with a storybook feel to it. If it has a carnival, zombies, a James Dean type character and murder-mystery , i will read it until i faint from exhaustion. I'm weird. i know.

uh...Thank You?
I'm not into Twilight either..it's so darn f*cking overrated..but anyhu, ppl often associate "Gothic theme' with Vampire or victorian themed manga, which is WHY I mentioned some of the mangas that I've previously mentioned...
If you're looking for carnival-zombie mangas then I think you've alredi read:
Ningyou Kyuutei Gakudan
(which obviously fit the criteria)
Others?
Franken Furan
Dragon head
Doubt
Shounen dolls
Deadman wonderland
Dazzle
Karneval
Embalming
Vampire girl <-- has carnival + vampire theme. Very dark tone.
Murder msytery?
Suicide Island
Island <-- most definitely fit your criteria..

thank you so much for taking your time to find and link titles, and sorry for the pointless ramble i put up above, i wasn't feeling myself...ps Island sounds interesting but the cover art is kind of,um, strange,
😢

Thank you for the suggestion but Rozen maiden isn't quite my taste, i'm into more macabre "sends a shiver down your spine" stuff.
