I'm sure someone will swoop in to properly apply links to this afterwards but here're a couple of my recommendations.

Have you heard of Kenshiro?



This is not him, though I can understand getting confused by the resemblance.


Super Doctor K Action, Drama, Shounen

Apologies for the triple post, but Dorohedoro just finished, and finished pretty strong. The story got pretty jumbled for a bit but it sorted itself out and the epilogue(spoilers, obviously) is excellent.

Oh, and also, and this I say with a fuckin' LOT of dread because it's one of the only series I don't think can truly be done justice in animated form, but along with the final chapter they have announced an anime. No studio name announced yet, but I fuckin' hope it's a good one, and they have a huge budget, because they're going to absolutely need it for making the world of Dorohedoro as filthy as possible, and the characters as grungy as possible. If there's a surface that isn't caked in gore, debris, rot, decay, or rust, the anime will be a failure

Remember those Ren and stimpy gross close-ups

just animate those

This manga is amazing! Thank you for the recommendation.

It’s such a deeply wistful manga, but its sweetness makes it fun to read. I know some of you are nervous about the inevitable deaths of the human characters, but considering the pace and themes of the story, I think the manga encourages you to enjoy the moment and make the most out of a good time or memory.

So don’t sweat it, try to see the merits of the story for the moment, and make the most of the moments you are left not knowing when or how it ends.

Everyone dies in the end.

except the weirdo lazy elf girl who will never die.
She would grow moss if she didnt have other people.
