hello everyone, I am looking for a manga about betrayal to the protagonist. be it from the protag's friends, family, spouse, etc that he/she trusts very much.
the story follows how the protag deals and comes in term with it, may it be forgiveness or revenge, both is okay.

EDIT:
I wanted to make a thread about this but I remembered I've made this kind of request once and I found this thread, so I bump it while I add some new information

already read:
Übel Blatt
Bitter Virgin
Deadman Wonderland
Kami no Kodomo
Shin Angyo Onshi

D-D-D-D-DEALBREAKERS:
-shoujo/josei
-yaoi/yuri and the like
-web comic
-manghwa (korean)

It would be better if the setting wasn't fantasy

Thanks everybody

sorry , because i don't know many manga

without yuri/yaoi & ai :http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?category=Betrayal& exclude_genre=Hentai_Shoujo%2BAi_Shounen%2BAi_Yaoi_Yur i&perpage=50

Bitter Virgin is a quite harsh example
Deadman Wonderland by his attorney -> has to go to prison
Waraenai Riyuu sort of

well the rest that comes to my mind doesn't start with betrayal... so I leave it out

in need of romance?
uncommon, sad, sweet

God Child a little on the dark side
Pretear a lot of angst
Hana no Kishi near the ending but crucial to plot
Max Lovely a couple times...sorta?
Arisa not finished and recently revealed

there are a few! Hope you enjoy them!

thank you for the many recommendations! My respect to you all.

and even though bitter virgin doesn't really pass to my request, god am I glad I read it.

Seconded. This is an amazing manga and I highly recommend it. The genres are action, adventure, and seinen. The story is about a swordsman with a sad past (although he looks feminine). The description alone is exciting. Think Rurouni Kenshin with revenge instead of repenting; he is a really strong swordsman (the strongest of his time). Note that there is only a little ecchi at the beginning, but then it dies down (which disappointed me, but whatever).

________________

Dämons - I'd describe it as betrayal to the max. I don't know how they could've made it any more painful for him.

Shin Angyo Onshi.... I remmember smt like that (or im wrong) dont know I read it a while back but its good read so check it out

Liar Game not sure if it counts but deception is a big part of this manga and the lead a little too gullible
Black Lagoon not a major focus point in the story but the guy starts a new life because of it. really good story currently on hiatus
