I am looking for mangas with murder or death in them, but not tragic ones. from extream like battle royale to just a little bit of blood. But something with blood or violence, thanks ^.^

edit: by not tragic i mean emotionally tragic, like a girl who's in love and her boyfriend is killed/dies kind.

Hmm, you can try Detective Conan. I don't really know if it is what you are looking for. Also Fist of the North Star i guess.

I'm not quite sure what you mean either, but currently I'm reading Bio meat which is something like a horror-survival manga. I'd say if you enjoy zombie movies, you'd enjoy this.

I second Detective Conan, that manga can be a lot of fun. Akumetsu is a manga about a superhero who violently kills white-collar criminals. And maybe even Deadman Wonderland which is about a super jail.

I'll try to think of some more later. I know the authors of Akumetsu are currently making a werewolf manga that looks interesting too. (Edit: It's called Wolf Guy - Ookami no Monshou)

You migh be interested in:

Alive!
Blue Heaven
MPD Psycho
Goth
Toukyou Akazukin
Chevalier
Freesia
Shigurui (I think you should read this first judging from your taste XD)

Edit: Add Shinsengumi Imon Peace Maker - death and murder play a major part and not all cases are sad, I think.

From a bumper sticker I like:

Cynthia the Mission
Blade of the Immortal
Vagabond
Parasyte
Gantz
Shamo
Shut Hell

Are you looking for gore/horror? Because if you are, there a lot of seinen that is like it... I just listed these off the top of my head... Battle Royale is pretty tragic, though.


Edit: Berserk is a classic, and I almost feel redundant for adding it.

One Piece, thousands must have died in what we see already.

hellsing and gantz are awesome, I will look at the other links soon, I love gore... and i updated my first post. >.> from what I have seen of One piece NO ONE has "died"...they like just show up later....

Cage of Eden might work
i also second Gantz

When your love life goes nowhere, where do you escape to?

How about Kurosagi Shitai Takuhaibin (or Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service)?

It's actually one of my all-time favourite mangas. Does it deal with death. Why yes. Quite literally in fact. Your body (though a single organ will do, if there are no other options available) is their business.
Never has morbidity been so fun!

Lots of (Blood + Violence + Deaths) = Koroshiya Ichi
You might want to look at Basilisk as well. It is kind of tragic, but it would be heavily outweighed by the violence/action portion of it.

Eden is somewhat like Gantz, as in there are no restrictions to who lives and who dies (i.e., if a character can die, chances are they will).

I second Vagabond and Blade of the Immortal.

X/1999
Death Note - for the most part but not a lot of action
Diabolo
Number
Nabari no ou
Pet shop of horrors - but a couple of deaths are tragic
Kuroshitsuji
Aflame Inferno
Break Blade
Dogs
Zero
[m]Full metal Panic[/m]
Akusaga

Most of these are fairly light action manga which happen to involve death, a couple a little darker but for the most part they aren't tragic.I second/third Gantz, Basilisk and Blade of the Immortal as well.
