Is there like manga or manhwa that is about main character. Like, he is lonely, silent, mysterious, normal common life, realistic, and that story about him and his life, and we can read what are his thoughts, kind of depressive?... Eh, if you got anything to suggest please post it. Thank you.

You might like H by SAKURAI Machiko, too. It's not a light read, filled with emotions and lots of dramatic issues, bound to the two main characters becoming a trigger for each others hidden weaknesses. Still, it is a great read and cleary creates an intense atmosphere. You get characters, that have to face their fear of abandonment, loneliness and unexpressed feelings again and again, while they are trying to find their way. It's also pretty realistic and has depth, which may not be expected from the Shoujo genre, so that it's a rare one worth a look IMO. ^^

"Bungaku Shoujo" to Shi ni Tagari no Douke its a bit light, not really dark or depressing. And art style is pretty cute. So it might suit anyone tastes

Agreed. Most of ASANO Inio's works (e.g. Umibe no Onnanoko) should fit since he's well-known for his bleak realism with a glint of hopefulness.

I also second the other suggestions except Angel Densetsu. They all carry their own, unique expression of loneliness.

If you liked H, you should give SAITOU Ken's Hana no Namae a try. A silent orphaned girl comes to live with a reclusive writer, and their solitary souls start moving again. Where will live lead them?
It has a similarily angsty relationship, but the atmosphere is even more depressing due to the main characters' psychological flaws.

In spite of its splendid artwork, Orange (BENJAMIN), which deals with the everyday life of an urban Asian girl, might be the most hopeless and nihilistic story among my recommendations. Sadly, it mirrors the truth for a whole generation of youths.

Surprisingly, Kanojotachi no X-Day by MIZUSHIRO Setona is not as dreary as the description makes it seem because it focuses on how to live on in the face of all personal misery people might come across. However, it remains dark enough to be mentioned here.

Iris Zero by Pro Shiki/ HOTARU Takana may look out of place at first glance, but trust me, once you look past its supernatural premise and those high-school elements, it reveals its poignant undercurrent about human nature. Fortunately, it has resumed publication.

Last but not least, there's an one-shot called Koe no Katachi by OOIMA Yoshitoki. It reads like a simple story about bullying, and it is a plain story about bullying and being bullied, no hidden plot twists, no pointless drama.
But this simplicity is what makes it special. This debut work dares to serve us the unadorned reality. Which is so painful to most ears that Japanese publishers refused to print the award-winning piece for months. So check it out, it's worth your time.
