I want something emotional and realistic, something that feels unfair toward the main character (I like it when the author doesn't mind killing off and/or making their protagonist miserable). Angst is a bit boring but I don't mind if the series is insanely good. I want a deep main character, not some hypocritical goody two shoes or seemingly smarty pants that are ridiculously dumb. I would definitely prefer it if the art's realistic. Thanks

It's indeed very tragic and a LOT unfair towards the main characters despite ending Spoiler (mouse over to view) with a message of hope which "rewards their death". Trust me and give it a shot. ________________ What I like in Trivial Pursuit style. Pick your category:

Shin Angyo Onshi kinda fits but somehow, it didn't catch me at all. I don't know why, but it's the same for Vampire Juujikai. Sundome was in one way or another very distasteful also, probably because the main guy was so dull and weak. Gunslinger Girl I've read too, I didn't enjoy it that much. But I appreciate your recommendations, really!! Sorry I'm so unpleasant guys Dx!!! But I'm really desperate!!!!
