Im bored and Im hoping someone can give suggestions on what to read. Im looking for action, it can be a manga or manhwa. I prefer something mature but it is not a necessity. I have read/reading tower of god, the gamer, kingdom, berserk, vinland saga, breaker... damn near what feels like everything. And by mature I meant on the gore level of kingdom, berserk, vinland.. Thanks in advance for any help.

High gore level action...

How about Hellsing. Monstrously powerful vampires and such really tearing some shit up.

More about guns and somewhat less graphic in nature, but still properly violent: Black Lagoon, Jormungand

Claymore Somewhat similar to Berserk, though not quite as dark or graphic. Still plenty of blood, guts and dismemberment.

Edit: Gah, I can't believe I didn't remember Gantz. The latter part of the series goes nowhere fast, but up to a certain point it is a good read with ok shock value.

Seinen: Berserk
Shojo: Mars Finished
Shonen: Rurouni Kenshin Finished

Action: Hellsing Finished + Shi ga Futari o Wakatsu Made
Adventure: Shingeki no Kyojin - Before the Fall Better then the main series
Chambara: Azumi

Some genres are stretches because most are the best authors or franchises japan has to offer. Thus the double posts. As always good ongoings lead to good past works.
Happy reading .

Thanks guys, any other suggestions?

Akumetsu is Death Note on crack and Gantz is a must yes. How will you like Phase 2/3. None knows. Dear community plese stop removing the mature tag on Vinland Saga or Historie by the way. These ones need it.

Onepunch-Man : Not always focused on action but it's a must read.

Shingeki no Kyojin : Interesting premise, OK story, good characters and some great fighting scenes.

Until Death Do Us Part : Blind swordsman trope in a modern setting.

Sengoku Youko : Great fantasy/action.

Tokyo Ghoul : Action/Horror. I doubt you haven't read it, but you never know.

Ares : Decent fantasy/action.

BM: Nectar : Really nice survival/horror. The science-fiction part was also well though out.

Shigurui : You wanted mature/gore, didn't you ? Check this one then. The 2 MCs are insane.

Priest : It reminded me somewhat of Berserk : demons, revenge-crazy MC, betrayal, etc... And all of it in a Western setting with guns, indians and such. Quite good.

Blame! : Good cyberpunk manga. The story can be at times difficult to understand but it's definitely worth a read.

Zetman : Superhero manga but very dark. Great art, interesting characters and plot.

Drifters : Get various historical badasses from our world and pit them against a pseudo roman empire in a fantasy/magic world. Sounds a bit cheesy, but it works...

Red Storm : Started this one recently. A shounen webtoon, so not as mature as some of your examples, but it's decent. The teacher is a bit too OP to my tastes but he's not the MC so it's all good.

Jackals : A decent manga if you like action. Don't look for a deep story there though.

Trace : X-men as a manhwa. Not a bad webtoon, although I haven't checked the sequels.

Btooom! : Survival, a la Battle Royale. Not as good but decent.

Dendrobates : Vigilante story.

Dice (YUN Hyunseok) : Another survival-game story, not as gore as the others but the premise kinda similar to The Gamer is interesting.
