I'm looking for a manga where someone who lived a normal life is put into a situation where he/she has to kill and turns out to be very skilled at it(killing that is).
NO being raised as an assassin or any previous training to kill or PREVIOUS martial arts training (figuring it out themselves is OK)
Reason to kill can be revenge, self-preservation, or just plain snapped.
Prefer it to be from said killer's perspective.
All genres are fine except Yaoi and Shoenen-ai.
Only examples I can think of are Phantom Requiem of Phantom, Guyver and Code Geass

Death Note?

Granted, he doesn't have to kill... but his ego is amazingly huge... You may like the anime for it (I enjoyed it).

1/2 Prince / 1/2 Prince (Novel) - but it's in a game, so it's not really that serious.

Highschool of the Dead - they're technically already dead, but ah well.

Tetsu no Senritsu

Haven't read Death Note but I seen the anime didn't like the ending.
Already reading Highschool of the Dead and 1/2 Prince and I really like them.
Tetsu no Senritsu is too old for my tastes.
And I get the feeling I won't like Shamo sounds too depressing
Looking more for dark or twisted instead of depressing and try to avoid manga with the "Rape" tag.
All them are close but I don't think any of them fit skilled killing with no trainig except Death Note_ as the initial situation allowed for easy killing (e.g. Highschool of the Dead the only skilled killers had previous training, 1/2 Prince the main character had played a similar game before don't know about Shamo_ though).

Gantz? I'm only 2 volumes in though, so I dunno how skilled the protagonists are at killing.

There's actually a more recent manga based on Tetsu no Senritsu, but I can't remember the name. I'll post here if I find it. ^^

Less Explicit
Involve killing monsters. Usually not as disturbing as the ones recommended below. May be off mark.

Blood+ - Schoolgirl discovers she has incredible destructive power when she is forced to kill a monster rampaging around the school.

Dawn - Tsumetai Te - Contracts a disease that renders him able to tear apart other infected individuals with his bare hands. To continue to get the medication necessary to keep the illness under control, he must cull the infected. If i remember correctly, he kills the first one out of self preservation then flips out because he thinks he's killed someone.

Explicit/Dark/Twisted
There stories may be too explicit. They do have what you're looking for, though. These stories mostly involve killing people.

Suicide Island - The main character is deserted on a remote island with many other multiple suicide attempters. There he discovers that he is a very good hunter. Very dark and twisted. I think there is some rape in it, though. It is very brief and the result of the lack of leadership and structure in the beginning.

Shingeki no Kyojin - The main character and his foster sister kill an intruder very skillfully for their young age. They grow up to become soldiers.

God's Child - Extremely disturbing. About the life of a sociopath that becomes a serial killer. Warning: explicit.

He had training.

Lots of it.

Some of the above do not fit this criteria:
