Basically, I want a manga with characters behaving realistically, for example:
- reacting to some events in a realistic way: Dawn - Tsumetai Te or Fullmetal Alchemist- unlike other shounen manga with "Okay, someone important died so we will be sad for one chapter and then move on to another arc and forget about it" attitude, tragic events in FMA have a big impact on Al and Ed.
- having a realistic personality, in other words characters that are not black-and-white: Vinland Saga. There are very few completely evil and completely good characters (Askeladd is my personal favourite).
- realistic relations between characters: Beck (except for the first 6 volumes or so) - although the band members are friends, there are also some conflicts between them, which is very natural. It's the same with the Koyuki-Maho relationship. Also 7 Seeds, but I won't explain why because this topic is already too long
Manga that is psychological but not what I want:
- Liar Game: I can't imagine characters like Yokoya or Harimoto existing in real life.
- 20th Century Boys: The manga is great, but there is too big difference between good and bad characters (too black-and-white).
Sorry for this overly long topic, but I wanted to give as many details as I could
And please no ecchi, smut, yuri. Shounen-ai is fine.
I gave action manga as examples so that people wouldn't think that the manga itself has to be realistic.
