Okay, I've read Berserk, had cries and laughters, but vomited from the Gantz. What another manga should I read?

I have a deep connection to Junji Ito’s works and realy enjoy beautifully drawn graphical violence. But not that cheap and stupid like it’s done in Gantz. I strive for something more meaningful, moreso if it’s a long manga that is availiable on the bay. Do you have some suggestions akin to Bers or Ito’s Spiral?

Maybe try Dorohedoro

Hells Paradise is great, while the anime looks okay, the artist does great work with all the different forms of Buddhist mythological representation.

Vinland Saga should be up your alley if your up for something still running, biolence is graphic but serves to move everything forward

Into some horror? Bio-meat should be good. Monsters as disgusting in detail to a point i cant read to musch of it, but give it a spin

edit If you just want exploitation, check out DeadTube. All about T&A on a surprisingly popular underground site. Trigger warning for most anything you can think of that would be offensive to the average reader

editx2 Ajin is also great for fun violence with crazy kills

Kolli,

Claymore is good fantasy with a bit of darker elements. Barely any service. Not for everyone, I enjoyed immensely.

You could try the Akira manga if you haven’t read it already. It certainly has some body-horror elements, although not to the level of Ito, and it’s a lot more substantial than something like Gantz.

Mayyybbe Gunnm (Battle Angel Alita) as well? Hard to say. It can be a bit fluffier than the rest at times, but it certainly has it’s share of hyper-violent parts too.

(Full disclosure, I haven’t read those in years, so YMMV.)

Ito really is in a class of his own, so if that’s your bar, it’ll be pretty hard to clear.
