I'm looking for a manga where the main character/protagonist is a hitman or an assassin.

Something which is similar to Golgo 13 would be nice, but I don't mind a little variety as long as its about hitman/assassin.

Gunslinger Girl was the first thing that came to mind. It's not really similar to Golgo 13, but it's still awesome.

Black Cat and Jackals are good, an both assassin manga, though BC is more about the ex-assassin and Jackals is rarely scanlated
Edit: Code: Breaker as well, there's also Number
hmm, there's just soooo many assassin manga out there, I'm pretty sure there's a category of it's own

Is there any manga where the male lead has an illness known as stomach ulcers.Yaoi are fine top.

You might wanna try Freesia though it can be a bit disturbing at times.
Yay first post 🙂

Tista and possibly Ichi the Killer

Ordinary+-.

[m]Angel Heart[m], its a bit long but youll enjoy it, i promise!

Luck Stealer - the protagonist's method of killing is pretty unique, so you should check it out.

Kilico
Luck Stealer
Ichi The Killer

Dendrobates is really good, no romance, completed also. I haven't seen a manga as good as this one yet for assassin category, then again i'm picky, like main characters that are OP/or the best and consistency... very surprised it's not listed yet.
