i am looking for a manga where there isn't really a bad guy, but instead all of the characters seem to have their good and bad side. Kind of like Elfen Lied where you just kinda felt sorry for everybody. Or at least a manga where the bad guy(s) aren't really all that bad, like for example a man who kills without blinking an eye, but is the perfect father. ah, I hope i explained all that clearly.

Please and Thank you 🙂

Have you tried Kuroshitsuji? The main character is a demon who works for his master (who's 12 or something like that) disguised as a butler. He's completely fascinating even though you know he's no good. His master has a very dark personality too but he is very human.

The art's beautiful as well which is an added bonus. Geh I don't know, just give it a try 😀

Dorohedoro sounds exactly like what your looking for. It's very good, follows a conflict from both sides of the story, with both groups being ruthless for their own reasons.

Vinland Saga is another I would recommend. There are no clearly evil characters and the characters in it often fight for their own personal reasons.

If you haven't read Berserk it's a bit like that at the start. Though calms down after a while and sets up some moral boundaries and clear rights/wrongs it didn't have in the beginning.

Then of course there's more well known stuff like Death Note.

perhaps Shamo

or Code Geass
but for Code Geass I recommend the anime, as I found the manga paler in comparison

Shin Angyo Onshi -- I see Munsu as the epitome of the "hero in spite of himself." He is cynical, flawed, and doesn't see himself as the good guy, but in the end he finds redemption.

Monster -- This manga demonstrates the opposite, where the villain starts out "good" and can't be hated because he mirrors the potential for evil in all people.

Both series have supporting characters who are also morally ambiguous.

Thanks for all the great recs! These all look really good, especially Dorohedoro and Junk i will definately check those out. I have also heard that Monster is really good but have never gotten around to reading. I'm a little worried it won't be able to grab me and then i will just give up. 🙄 Oh! Shinobi Life looks good too 🙂
oh and i wonder if there are any you might suggest that have a bit of ecchi??
