hi ,
I am looking for any manga series suggestions in the style of Devilman,Berserk,Dorohedoro
ie .Big battles and big hair...
I particularly like well drawn demons and monsters,not to keen comedy but dont mind a bit of weird naughty stuff...
I enjoy manga from the 00's but find that amongst the darker titles theres a lack of action and frantic fighting in favour of psychological 'horror' and emo sulking.
Obviously the internet is a relativly new phenomena and info about 80's and 90's series trickes out as you go back so the titles I am looking for are more likely to reside in your distant memories than comprehensively referenced on the web ,but I am up for some detective work.
thanks for any help.

Well... there's always Violence Jack. Unfortunately, I'm more a fan of the classic sports stories (something like Nozomi Witches or Kyojin no Hoshi). There are some darker 80's stories that I'm familiar with, but none of them that I'd actually recommend. If you want some dark psychological seinen, you may want to look into Auction House, about a guy working in auction houses... lots of gangster stuff and sex and lies and intrigue. Has something for art buffs, too, but it's not over the top violence, that's for sure.
