20th Century Boys
Kokou no Hito
Oyasumi Punpun
Battle Royale
These are my personal favorites, but it's good to enlight all of Inio Asano works. That guy is a freaking genius! Shinobu Kaitani's translated works (Well, Liar Game and One Outs) are pretty good too

Quote from sarah-eats-cupcakes
the best seinen is, without a doubt, Eden: It's an endless world!...it has everything i ever wished for in a story; politics, concrete science, realistic relationships and interactions between characters, characters weren't either "black" or "white", amazing psychology and insight into the characters' personalities and finally, the mangaka obviously did tons of research, all references to different religions and cultures were 100% accurate
so yeah, eden is my number one seinen...there are many other good seinen manga ive read but listing them in order of preference will be really hard
at the time i wrote this i completely forgot about oyasumi punpun and not simple......those three are the BEST seinen i have ever read 🙂

I really enjoy YKK, Gantz, and Akira. I could read Hitoshi Ashinano all day... and I often do! 😀

- Gantz
- Usotsuki Paradox
- Kimi no Knife
- Nana to Kaoru
- Kanojo 51
- Onani Master Kurosawa
- (does Yuri count?!) - Hoshikawa Ginza Yonchoume
- Gunslinger Girl
Honourable mention (awesome stuff...supremely entertaining, but just not serious or emo/wangsty enough for a seinen top, imho):
Beach Stars
Btoom!
Magetsukan Kitan
Boku no Futatsu no Tsubasa - badly axed
Claymore - too shounen-ey
Vinland Saga - ARC 1 ONLY... screw farmland saga.
Non-Seinen for Seinen lovers:
- Kimi wa Petto (Josei)
- Mako (published now, it'd be "Borderline H/ Seinen"... in 2002, it was H-manga plotporn)
- Dokuhime (Josei?)
