Hi^.^
So I am here again, and I was wondering if u can help me somehow...
As the topic says, I´m looking for something dark, where supernatural stuff is involved, it can be horror...but not seinen, preferably shoujo/shounen...
It would be great if the main character was a girl, but boy is ok too. And it´s okay if it contains some action, but not too much...I want it to have an interesting story...with (lol) or without romance, but it shouldn´t be the main genre.
Thank you in advance ^_^

Hmm. Probably not evil enough, but quite disturbing:
Fetish
Mukashi no Hanashi
Couldn't think of any series >.<

Variante - fits perfectly
Franken Furan - dark, interesting and hilarious
As to shoujo, Yuki Kaori's works might interest you. I don't see Count Cain and Godchild in your lists. They are must reads. Also try:
Yumekui Kenbun
Dokebi Bride (girl as main character)
Pity that you don't want seinen and non-supernatural ones. I mean, there are good ones that are not supernatural. O_O
Also Ao no Futsumashi should fit too?

She wants supernatural, otherwise I'd have a lot more to recommend. 🙂
Kaguya Hime is also dark and supernatural, and shoujo with a female protagonist.

Omae ga Sekai o Kowashitai nara, Coelacanth (not technically supernatural, but there is oddness), 7Seeds (sci-fi), Doll Star, DRUG-ON (only moderately dark...), Gareki no Eden, K no Souretsu (very weird, more eccentric than supernatural).
All of those are shoujo/josei except for Doll Star, DRUG-ON, and Gareki no Eden (shounen/seinen).

base_coat: hmmm...I started to fill my lists just recently and totally forgot about Yuki Kaori ^.^ I love her works 🙂
Ok, it can be also non-supernatural but then it has to be really good 🙂
So what can you recommend?
Kalendel: I liked Coelacanth, and I´ve once(few years ago I guess...) started to read 7 Seeds, but dropped it (cant remember why though)...is it that interesting? From the start or later?

Try Switch and 12 Nin no Yasashii Koroshiya - Leo Murder Case. They are not supernatural and have guys as main characters.
Tista has a girl as protagonist and fits your request perfectly.
And you might be interested in Deadman Wonderland, which is dark and supernatural.

deep, dark, supernatural shoujo with romance, thats almost as rare as otsuka eijis work that isnt incomprehensible garbled mess 😉
but so that the post wont be completely worthless some additional recs:
Mamonogatari
Kagen no Tsuki
Hyakuman Tsubu no Namida
Mekakushi no Kuni
Missing Piece
Please Save My Earth
all supernatural and dark (somewhat) and shoujo

A lot of those I'd consider more "bittersweet" than dark (which I usually associate with horror or some sort of violence).
As for 7Seeds, I actually just started reading it at v6 (which is sort of the end of an arc and another begins...), and I love how dark it is. Er, though I don't know what kind of a recommendation that is, since I never felt compelled to go back to the start and read the first arc ^^;
Bittersweet (manga that make you cry):
Sorayume no Uta
Anything Yumeka Sumomo aka Sahara Mizu
Lonesome Eden
Neko Mix Genkitan Toraji
Shokugyou Tenshi
Tamashii no Futago (more on the dark side =D)
All the above are supernatural, though only some works by Yumeka Sumomo/Sahara Mizu are.

Liar Game is very deep, and very very thoughtful and extremely smart. It focuses of the inner evil of human and how we can never change it.
I love it!
