I'm looking for manga's or comics with realistic art styles.
Please post names to go with any pictures.
Also the more violent and sexy(no porn) the better.

I don't know if others consider it to have a realistic art style but I'm looking for stuff similar to Sin City tone wise.

Thanks in advance.

edit: I've read and love Berserk before every other post mentions it.

 

[SkyOdin]

You might be looking for Berserk.

 

[sunshine and gasoline]

Would Kokou no Hito be up your alley? Not really violent or sexy but I did find it to be a rather enjoyable manga.

Vagabond is all around amazing.

 

[Host Samurai]

I think Gantz has realistic looking characters. No doe eyed women. The first few arcs especially, later on the artist went a little bit on the bishonen side but not by much

 

[Glin]

Homunculus. Just search in the Seinen category. You have the biggest chance there of finding your preference.

 

[thefatness16]

Real looks nice

 

[ASilentProtagonist]

Berserk for sure, but plenty of other increabile Seinen manga with gorgeous realistic art (Vagabond, Kokou No Hito, Vinland Saga)

 

[TheGreatDirector]

Me and the Devil Blues is is a damn masterpiece when it comes to this.

 

[Calvero]

Me and the Devil Blues is is a damn masterpiece when it comes to this.

so damn good

 

[thefatness16]

Also Innocent is great as well. Fits your violent and sexy criteria as well.

 

[Pyrrhus]

Crying Freeman?

 

[TheFlow]

VAGABOND

 

[foxuzamaki]

Me and the Devil Blues is is a damn masterpiece when it comes to this.

I cant believe the same person who does this also does prison school

 

[NCR Redslayer]

Me and the Devil Blues is is a damn masterpiece when it comes to this.

Don't forget to post his other work, Prison school.

I cant believe the same person who does this also does prison school

He learned the best way to appeal to the mass market and won.

 

[wamberz1]

I AM A HERO is pretty great.

 

[my name is ed]

Also Innocent is great as well. Fits your violent and sexy criteria as well.

who is the artist? I can't tell from the tiny type

 

[thefatness16]

who is the artist? I can't tell from the tiny type

Shinichi Sakamoto. Also known for his work on kokou no hito.

 

[TheRealTalker]

Vinland Saga

Kingdom

 

[double jump]

wow, everything looks awesome so far. I don't even know where to start.

 

[HardRojo]

I'd say Death Note but Misa has bigass eyes. I am alive looks incredible, I might check it out.

 

[n0razi]

Blame

 

[TheRealTalker]

wow, everything looks awesome so far. I don't even know where to start.

for me after reading Berserk

I felt that the two above had the most similar aspect to it

with less fantasy though and more Viking or Warring China

 

[NCR Redslayer]

Ayesha's Secret Manhua has some pretty amazing art.

 

[-Horizon-]

Prison School?

 

[Moodz]

Subscribed.

I need something in this style when I finish Berserk.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

I have no idea what "Blame" is but I'm seeking that shit out with the quickness right now.

 

[How About No]

So in 50 yrs

 

[Frozenprince]

wow, everything looks awesome so far. I don't even know where to start.

Be warned.

Almost everything linked here likely has no ending and will likely never have an ending.

Looking at you Vagabond.

 

[Erevador]

Tremendous thread so far. Loving all the beautiful artwork.

Keep it up, GAF.

 

[Rushersauce]

So in 50 yrs

You're being wayy too positive.

 

[rpmurphy]

Inuyashiki

 

[Kvik]

Don't forget Mugen no Juunin (Blade of the Immortal) by Samura Hiroaki

 

[Haly]

Eden: It's an Endless World

 

[Frozenprince]

OT I suggest anything by Boichi, here's a few stills of his volume run Sun-Ken Rock (which did just end, horribly, but it did end):

He's supremely gifted as an artist. And if you're looking for Sin City, he's the dude you want.

 

[zeshakag]

Some fuckin great art in this thread.

I should really get into reading manga.

 

[Einchy]

I know these have already been said but I wanted to post some more art.

Vagabond

Berserk

[edit]

Oops, didn't see your edit about Berserk.

 

[Krammy]

I wouldn't call Green Blood as realistic as some of the other suggestions here, but it's definitely more than you get with your day to day manga. If you like Westerns, I highly recommend it.

 

[Semblance]

Try Innocent by Shinichi Sakamoto.

 

[Rydeen]

Check out anything illustrated by Ryoichi Ikegami, I'd post dsome samples but I'm at work and some of his stuff is very NSFW.

Among series he illustrated are:

Crying Freeman
Mai the Psychic Girl
Sanctuary
Wounded Man
and the manga version of Spider-Man.

 

[Ninjimbo]

Look towards Inio Asano: Solanin, Oyasumi Punpun, and Nijigahara Holograph.

Thank me or hate me later.

 

[zebaz08]

Read Gantz, great manga

Spoiler

except the last phase

.

 

[OniBarubary]

I have no idea what "Blame" is but I'm seeking that shit out with the quickness right now.

Blame is top fucking tier manga. Just...don't expect an entirely cohesive story. It's there but it's really...softly told. There's reams of pages without a single word spoken.

 

[Messofanego]

Prison School?

 

[Pennywise]

Besides the already mentioned Vagabond,Berserk and Inio Asanos work, I would strongly suggest Homunculus :

Among my favorite Seinen mangas.

 

[Lorr]

This is a really great thread. Are any of these available digitally? For iPad/comixology?

 

[Semblance]

Homunculus is a very good pick. Some of the conversations in that play out like the most intense battles you could possibly imagine - but it's just two men sitting in chairs, talking. Paneling is superb too.

Want to also add as someone who read it for the first time earlier in the year that it's worth reading very, very slowly. Like two or three chapters a day, max. It's easy to miss things and some of his earlier action scenes feel disjointed to say this least.

Blame! owns though.

 

[Qvoth]

aku no hana, boku wa mari no naka, happiness
i really like shuzo oshimi's artstyle

i am a hero is pretty good as well imo
edit: historie as well

 

[Sesha]

Satsuma Gishiden

Almost anything by Naoki Urasawa (pictured: Happy, one of his lesser known series, and Pluto)

Anything by Kazuo Koike and Goseki Kojima, in particular Lone Wolf and Cub, Samurai Executioner and Path of the Assassin.

(Samurai Executioner)

(Lone Wolf and Cub)

Lady Snowblood

The Climber/Kokou no Hito

His characters are somewhat stylized, but anything by Jiro Taniguchi

(The Time of Botchan. An adaption of the novel by Natsume Soseki)

I guess that's enough for now.

 

[cyanide4suicide]

Berserk and Gantz, and if you had good taste, you would have read these titles already.

Not sure what Gantz has to do with good taste.
