The perfect example for what I am looking would be Sanctuary or Heat. I would only prefer Seinen as they are able to catch the reality. I did the genre search and the results were too unsatisfactory as they are also showing where yakuza/crime isnt even the main theme or the mangas which doesnt really fits my taste. I also searched the forums, and found this and this which really didnt helped much. So in short~ Pros: Crime/Yakuza (Main Plot) Seinen/Josei (no boys love). Intelligent Plot (if possible) Romance/Mature (Both Optional) Completly Scanned /Actively Scanned (No point in reading works which I cant complete or the release frequency is one in hundred days) Cons: Stereotype Protagonist (Preaching about lives/Killing is wrong/& other craps) ->Absolute No Unrealistic Elements (not another City of Darkness or Akumetsu) Sports Shonen-ai/Shojo-ai (Only Straight pairings please). I really didnt liked Black Lagoon, Kimi no Knife, Killer Stall so please dont suggest them or their similar types as crime themed mangas. ------------- Thank you.

Josei is fine too as long as pairings are straight, and it suits some of the requirements posted in first post. More Yakuza mangas are really welcomed. -------- Thanks.
