Ok so just finished a dark urban fantasy style book called Demons Lexicon and has left me craving more. So I'm looking for an urban fantasy/supernatual style manga, or any supernatual/fantasy really but it has to be dark. I like lots of emotion and character development. Romance is ok but nothing slushy please. Ideally I'd like tha main character to be male and to posess powers or be a demon/angel/other supernatural creature. I also like stories where the boundries between good and bad are blurred, grey area type plots. No one has to be right or wrong.

No hental, yuri, yaoi, ecchi, not a lot of comedy but some comic relief is ok. I also read pretty quickly so the longer the series the better but I do like shorter series if they have a good plot. I like good art but if the plot is good enough I can put up with weird drawing styles.

Examples are Angel Sanctuary, Akuma no Ororon, 07 Ghost, Death Note, God Child, Eternal Sabbath.

All suggestions are greatly appreciated.

The pen is mightier than the sword...and considerably easier to write with.

Fairy Cube - This should be exactly what you're looking for, actually all Yuki Kaori works are dark fantasies;

Another Kingdom - It's not really dark, but you might like it;

Goth - Well it's dark, I give you that, but not a fantasy;

Mikan no Tsuki - It's fantasy, but it's shoujo and you know what that means. Surprisingly it doesn't have much romance in it or untill later in the story, so you could say it's not that slushy;

Mekakushi no Kuni - This one it's not really centered on the supernatural elements, but more on the characters; a pretty good read;

B-Eyes - Another supernatural story;

Pet Shop of Horrors - This one is pretty long, but it's actually made out of separate stories, but still very good ones;

Zombie Loan - I think this is what you're looking for;

xxxholic - My favorite ongoing manga;

Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle - The sister series of xxxholic. The first 100ch or so (don't get scared) might seem a little boring, but after that the story takes on a much darker tone, I think you'll enjoy it;

Note: Except for Zombie Loan, xxxholic and Tsubasa, all the other works are completely scanned.

I've read Pet shop of horrors and have Tsubasa Chronicles, xxxholic and Zombie loan on my 'on hold list' until they're completed and I love them all. The rest of the suggestions were a great help. Thanks so much. I'll start working my way through them.

zetman?

I second Zetman

Also, i don't know how well this fits, but it might...Wolf Guy - Ookami no Monshou...its definitely pretty dark, but might not be the type you are looking for. It does have supernatural/fantasy though XD

Lost+Brain-you will probably like, but its not too long yet

😀

Top 3 favorite manga right now:
3. Ao no Futsumashi
2. Wolf Guy

1. Ubel Blatt
   !!!!!

Ningyou Kyuutei Gakudan
Both dark and humerous. It changes moods very fast. But it is a very dark world.

mmmm..... not really sure but how about hell girl.... 😕

Yumekui Kenbun
Category: Freaks
Deadman Wonderland
Skyhigh + Skyhigh Karma - main character is female but I recommend them

And why don't you try Toukyou Akazukin too? It's definitely dark. I thought I wouldn't like it but it's alright.

Kurobara Alice is quite good

Thanks for all the suggestions guys. Some were already on my wish list so it was nice to have the reminder. Further suggestions are always welcome but I can already see myself loving most of these. You all saved me from hours of boredom!

Kurozuka
Tokyo Akazukin I second this, but it's a little disturbing, I'm advising you.
Nephilim
World Embryo

Anyway everything else already mentioned is not what I think of a Dark Urban Fantasy (Mekakushi no Kuni?!?) but you seemed ok with that, so I'm suggesting something else that could fit, even if I don't think of them as a dark urban fantasy:

Shin Angyo Onshi
Ares
Vampire Juujikai
Chrno Crusade
Spiral
Superior
Dance in the vampire bund
Kurogane
Eureka Seven
Vampire Game

What I like in Trivial Pursuit style. Pick your category:[img]http://i379.photobucket.com/albums/oo233/Reid4891/Manga/trivia-1.jpg[/img]

Thanks for the great suggestions. I'm already reading Vampire Juujikai and love it and I'm waiting for the last part of Spiral to be scanned but both interest me. I'm ok with anything that isn't strictly dark urban fantasy as long as it's supernatural/fantasy and darkish.

If you're okay with manhwa, then I suggest:
Model
Arcana
Dokebi Bride
The Tarot Cafe

I have to thank you again. It's been a while since I've had this much d**k on my computer. :'3

Manhwa is fine as well. Thanks for the suggestions, I'll check them out.
