Okay, I'm bored to tears here.
So what I want is an awesome revenge story.
I want a main character who is wronged by someone in whatever way. Something rage inducing would be good, like a girl cheating, rape, slaughtered family or whatever.
Then after that, the main will devote his or her life to UTTERLY DESTOYING the other party.
And I don't mean the, "I'm gonna beat you at [random something the other person is good at]". No, I mean absolutely crushing them into some feeble remains.
Can't really think of a manga, but the start of law abiding citizen comes pretty close. The part where he catches the killer of his family and slowly cuts him into itsy bitsy pieces. That kind of revenge.
Doesn't need to be physical or violent. It can be running someone into psychotic breakdown, financial ruin or whatever.
Oh, just in case, don't bother mentioning yaoi or someshit. Though I doubt there are any yaoi stories like that, you can never be too carefull.

Ubel Blatt comes to mind. It takes a while to get past the 1st arc of laying down the back ground for the story (like 1 vol worth) before you can get to the revenge part. The hero suffer the ultimate betrayal from his best friends and was killed. Now, given a totally new life back, he's out for revenge even if it means bringing the world to hell with it. He seek them out and kill them one by one. Some what bitter sweets cause they were once his best friends.

I second Ubel Blatt---its pretty damn good especially after the first volume.
Rebirth--also focusing on the hero getting revenge for lover's death caused by best friend. Though i dropped it because it felt like a cheap ripoff..just don't know why. Maybe you will like it more.
The Breaker--its one of the focus...its sorta there like the sensei goonmoonryong really wants to avenge the death of his own master. you are probably already reading this manga.

If you're into samurai themed manga:
Chidaruma Kenpou Onorera ni Tsugu I think?
I think Lone Wolf and Cub might have that.
I second Berserk too.
Maybe Basara too.

Those are all fine recomendations, thanks.
But all of them are more or less pretty straight forward "on a quest to beat the shit out of antagonist No. 1" kind of thing.
I was looking for a bit more plotting and scheming, slowly working their way out of the hell they were in with vengeance as their only aim.

Thanks, I'll give that a try then.
Although, 70's art makes my eyes cry in anguish.

Lady Snowblood - though I don't think it's that great.
I remember seeing something about a manga adaptation of The Count of Monte Cristo?
