Seinen Anime and Manga Recommendations

No.1267366 View ViewReplyOriginalReport
I'm tired of looking at godawful shonenshit, moeblub rubbish, slice of life boringness, and monthly flavor mediocrity.

Give me some good seinen, preferably a "genre"/"speculative fiction" title. I don't want "slice of life" shit, I don't want "sports" shit (imagine reading a golf manga, for example), I don't want coomershit, and I sure as shit don't want increasingly gimmicky, yet still dime-a-dozen "accidental travel"/"portal fantasy" garbage (or as people call them today, "isekai").

And for god's sake, don't recommend me the surface-level shit that everyone knows (i.e. every title listed in this Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seinen_manga).

While a "gekiga" art style isn't necessary, it is preferred. And while I'm not particularly fond of comedy manga as a whole, I am open to trying to things to see if one works out for me.

Korean manhwa/webtoons, Hong Kong comics/cartoons, Taiwanese comics/cartoons, Chinese manhua/cartoons, and even Vietnamese comics/cartoons are fine, just as long as they're sufficiently "seinen-y" or "mature" enough (not necessarily in a "tits, gore, body excretions, and shock value" way, but definitely in a "high art" way, the same way the Illiad and Odyssey are considered "high art").
