Ok guys, i've gotten into action manga these days and im really in need of a good action manga to get me through the week biggrin . Alrighty then, im gonna be a bit specific about the manga im looking for;

1) Should be an action manga.
2) No effeminate or willowy male characters (in other words, no bishies, nuh-uh, nope, can't stand them anymore but I'm fine with them being villains or side characters, but not the lead)
3) Characters should not be children or teenagers (its alright for them to start off as children and late teens if fine)
4) Supernatural, Sci-Fi, Fantasy (preferably dark fantasy)
5) No historical manga
6) Strong female characters who are'nt used as fanservice.
7) Decent art
8) should be at least 70 chapters.
9) Less ecchi the better.
10) No high school setting (i kinda hate these)

The one manga (IMHO) which met all these requirements was until death do us part. The guys looked masculine (not a bishie in sight,lol) and the ladies looked beautiful without being over sexualized, good action, Sci-Fi, great art, hardly any ecchi and most of the characters were adults.

Action manga that i've read;

Beserk

Jojos bizzare adventure series (ok the guys in this were "fabulous" but they looked like guys at least and the action was great. However, later on the art style started to change and in the end everyone had the same face and all the men and women looked like they had the same daddy "yikes"! )
Veritas (gorgeous characters but the story was weak; dropped it)

Ubell blatt (no no no no! ewwwww shota and loli fanservice! dropped it after the first chapter)
Flame of Recca (my first manga, it'll always have a place in my heart )

Jackals (loved, but it was too short)

Bleach (dragged on for too long, but it was fun)

FMA (Loved it!)

Crying freeman (gorgeous art. The men and women in this very beautifully drawn. Sadly it turned into an ecchi fest after the first volume)

Gantz ('twas a strange and frightening affair)
Shin angyo onshi (wish it went on a bit longer, loved it)

Basara (beautiful story, albeit the sloppy art style)

Claymore (GIRL POWER!!! Seriously, we need more female leads in action manga)

Feng Shen Ji (beautiful art, coloured pages, great character designs, epic)

Fist of the north star (A bit too hyper masculine, but i kenshiro was hot....hehe )

Gansta

Battle Royale (Its like three different artists worked on this; The main characters were good looking, the bad guys were super ugly and the less important characters were wacky/looney looking. But i liked it)

Anyway, im gonna stop here, lol. So What are your recommendations? Sorry im being way too specific, but think of it as a challenge!

Completed:
Bokurano and Blame! match with all of your criterias except the chapter (only 65 chapters)
Gunslinger Girl

Ongoing:
Keyman - The Hand of Judgement only 48 chapter scanlated, but it's still ongoing. The ecchi's level is minimum, but it contains some over-sexualization of a child body and I find it disturbing. Other than that, it pretty much fits with all of your criterias.

There weren't a ton of these I could find/remember. But I did list some below that were really close to matching everything on the list since there haven't been a ton of suggestions.

Mother Sarah - 67 chapters
Rain - Ongoing at 55 chaps
Magician (KIM Sarae)

Doesn't meet one of the criteria:
Jiraishin - not fantasy, sci-fi, or supernatural, but it is dark
Killer Stall - again, dark, but not fantasy, sci-fi, or supernatural
Shibatora - baby-faced MC
Konjiki no Gash!! - probably not your preferred art style
Vinland Saga - historical
Mugen no Juunin - historical

Also might try ES. I don't recall there being a ton of action here, but it has that genre listed.
