So, I'm looking for a manga (book, film) which takes place in the real, contemporary world, but has fantasy/supernatural elements and a lot of action. A mysterious, surprising, crime story plot also would be nice.
The reason why I'm asking for this is that I really got into the Supernatural TV series (and it's thanks to some person from this forum who had an interesting quote from it in his/hers signature). It's about two brothers who fight demons, ghosts, vampires and other creatures like this. It would be great if your suggestions were similar to it, but they don't have to be.
Some more examples:
- from manga/anime:
Ghost Hunt (but there's not that much action here);
Death Note (but aside from the Death Note and Shinigami thing there's not much supernatural here);
Island (I like it because of the demon hunting);
Please save my Earth (again, not much action here);
Shingetsutan Tsukihime
- from books
The Dresden Files series by Jim Butcher - it's about a detective, living in Chicago, who is also a wizard (spells, talking skulls and everything);
The Felix Castor series by Mike Carey - it's similar to Dresden Files, but the detective is also an exorcist, fighting demons.
Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman
- from films
I think there's plenty of films which are not 100% realistic and are not set in an alternate universe, like The Sorcerer's Apprentice. Even films like The Matrix, Transformers and Inception, which are more sci-fi than fantasy, or horrors like The Ring or A Nightmare on Elm Street may fit. Although some of them are not very good.
I know I'm not very good at explaining things, so I hope you can understand what I'm looking for. If not, I'll try to explain again
