hi everyone, I would like to ask if you know some scifi/dystopian/future dystopian manga/graphic novel in a totalitarian setting.
totalitarianism is a political system where in the government (or even higher than the government) holds total authority in a society where people cant oppose to it.
Preferably seinen and completed. But any other genres are welcome.
Thank you everyone!

Full Metal Alchemist - Not exactly totalitarian, but it depicts the Elric Brothers going against a certain someone in the government.
One Piece - Its Monkey D Luffy vs the Pirates vs the one-world Government

Kokumin Quiz
maybe 20 Seiki Shounen turns into a state wide cult iirc
Battle Royale more of a survival
Ikigami not complete tough
v for vendetta is the obvious one for graphic novel

Can't think of any overtly totalitarian manga off the top of my head, but if you're interested in dystopias in general, there's:
Mother Keeper -- has rebel armies of impoverished outsiders trying to bring down the walled paradise inhabited by the government and upper class. I love that this manga isn't as black and white as you'd expect from that setup.
[10 volumes/complete but not totally scanlated]
Husk Eden -- haven't read too far into this one yet, but there's wars, child soldiers, and a pretty grim and tragic atmosphere. It's shoujo, but according to the tags, it's also "Borderline Seinen."
[3 volumes/ongoing]
No. 6 -- has a pretty messed up government system, though I can't remember the details. I couldn't really get into this one, but a lot of people seem to like it. Fair warning: While it's not explicitly BL, there are some slashy undertones. [9 volumes/complete but not totally scanlated]
I also suggest you peruse the "Dystopia" tag and maybe the "Cyberpunk" tag if you want something gritty and futuristic.
