looking for a character driven story with action

-needs to have: flawed & proactive protagonist, action
-can't have: protagonist with black & white moral value, yaoi, clearly poor artwork
-would be nice to have: some sort of powers or sci-fi technology,

good examples: Gantz, Vagabond, Shamo, Fullmetal Alchemist, 12 Kingdoms, Parasyte

-on a side note: would also be interested in a good recent gag manga
my tastes as far as that goes would be: Beelzebub, Sket Dance, Angel Densetsu, One Punch Man, Ippo

-side note 2: haven't read any good romantic comedies in a while either, anything recent worth reading?
my tastes have been: Nana, Koukou Debut, Kimi wa Pet, Kimi no Todoke, Beck

thanx in advance

________________

hmm maybe Bokura no Kiseki I would say its story is character driven,but even though it has action sometimes its nothing like other action manga's. Its more about the mystery then action i guess.

Like educational manga? take a look at Ed U. Manga's list of manga here

Hoshi no Samidare sounds like it would be of interest to you. Story is all about the main characters growth and the action is interesting enough.

Birdmen is a recent series that seems promising, and the main character is pretty good.

- Bokura no Kiseki looks like what i'm looking for, thanx

- i've tried the first one, wasn't big on the MC / however, didn't know Tanabe Yellow had a new manga out, i'll definitely check Birdmen, thanx

I understand your complaint, but if you can endure the beginning, the MC gets a lot better as the manga goes on. I would say it's worth it, depending of how much you've read, of course.
