Hi all!! I am posting after a long time... oh well here goes

I am looking for a martial arts manga set in current/near future/sci-fi

Titles similar too these would be The breaker, The Breaker NW and Until Death do us part

these are the pretty much the only martial arts manga that i have read and i love them !!

Please suggest something similar

PS: complete or ongoing/scanlated series only as I cannot read japanese/korean

Tokyo Crazy Paradise is exactly what you're looking for

I'm just throwing this out there Change Guy
Its a martial arts manga but I'm not quite sure that its what your looking for.

@cowsrawesome
thanks!! will definitely check it out

@BlackBlaze
thanks, change guy fits my criteria somewhat. But what I meant is i don't want martial arts manga in a historical setting (like middle ages etc, though Drifters was awesome) for this topic, it should be current, or near future/sci-fi borderline

All Rounder Meguru, Holyland are manga that set in this era, and very realistic. Both don't have super power/ magic thing.

Beelzebub: hilarious and crazy, it has supernatural elements.
Kure-nai
Tenjou Tenge: the story become so confusing halfway, it has ecchi and supernatural too.

Shijou Saikyou no Deshi Kenichi
aiki
They are martial arts manga. They have some ecchi stuff though. Hope they will fit your criteria.

I think Change Guy and Veritas are probably most like what you are looking for.

others maybe worth looking at
Karate Shoukoushi Kohinata Minoru
Aiki
Grappler Baki (The first series of Baki isn't scanlated but there is an anime for the parts missing)
Tough
Shamo
Riki-Oh
Shura no Mon
Teppuu
Garouden

Tokyo girls destruction takes place in the future on an isolated island where girls are brutally fighting.

If you don't mind comedy you could also check :

Aiki : great start, but becomes boring after a while, you might like it tho

Tatakae! Ryouzanpaku Shijou Saikyou no Deshi and Shijou Saikyou no Deshi Kenichi : you probably already know them, if not they're worth a read but the 2d one is just too long and lost its fun for me

Hakaiou Noritaka! : Very fun manga about muay thai

Karate Shoukoushi Kohinata Minoru : Comedy and Karate


Now some more serious reads :

Shamo : Very dark, violent manga. Main character's personality takes a turn for the worse after a while tho, still worth a check

Sun-ken Rock : Street fights, gangs, violence. Decent Manhwa if you like the genre.

Ultra Red : For once a complete martial arts manga (although the ending was a bit disappointing for me).

Grappler Baki : A very successful manga in Japan, about a boy trying to become stronger than his monster of father. While the fights are based on real martial arts, don't expect something very realistic.


If you like boxing try Hajime no Ippo : Long time favorite of mine, great humor, great fights, very nice characters. I was very disappointed in one of the later fights (vs the monkey guy) and dropped it but definitely check this one.


I'll second Holyland, the only manga in the genre that I still read regularly although the protagonist can be annoying sometimes. But the realism is a nice change.

wow so many recommendations

@p3pelepe
thanks for the suggestions, but i have already tried belzebub , didn't like it
will try the rest, holyland looks particularly appealing to me

@strauss
thanks for both the suggestions, but both have ecchi oh well if the plot is good enough then it wont matter

@liquorice
thanks for so many suggestions, i remember i had watched baki the grappler anime, dint know it had manga parts

@caozhi
thanks i will try it

@oneeyed
thanks for the detailed suggestions I have read hajime no ippo, and i really like it but i would consider ti as sports

as for the rest, i have seen baki the grappler anime, will try scanlated mangas

and holyland sounds awesome will definitely try it.

Zippy Ziggy Not so sure though but is definitely in a modern setting.
Samurai High School Might not fit but is definitely set in the future.
Nabari no Ou I never really watched/read it but it should fit.

Well, I don't read much martial arts manga.

Made the set. Credits to Rae from Offrecord who drew Dante in my Avatar.

Girls of the Wild's - Great, however the setting is Martial Art's but the main charater doesn't pratice it himself.
