So here is the deal guys i can enjoy a good shounen every now and then but honestly what keeps me in anime/manga are seinen. my only problem with them is most of them release slowly,( some slower then others ahem) and im running out of stuff to read.
so i decided to ask on here if anyone knows a series or two i might of passed up.

i am currently upto date with berserk, vinland saga, gantz, zetman, and honestly of what is still being released thats all i can think off :\

also light novels might be good too.

I was going to suggest Vinland Saga, but you're already reading it.

Other than that you've always got\;

Vagabond
Blade of the Immortal
Historie

Those would be some of the current I'm reading. Historie is being scanlated by the same guy who does Vinland Saga as well.
Steeples scrape the sky, Praising God.
Everything here exists for God, is sacrificed to God.
For those who have nothing to sacrifice,

You probably saw the Monster anime already, right? One of my favorite "mature" mangas/anime.

The World is Mine - currently stuck at volume 11 of 14 due to the project's translator disappearing - their site is requesting a new translator
Jiraishin - I think it was Omanga that did this one... or The Hawks... 19 Volumes and completed
Ressentiment - stuck at volume 4 of 4... this one certainly hit close to home for some.... which is why so few actually enjoy it
Golden Boy - If not for the social commentary, then the chicks in this are outstanding
MPD Psycho - another detective manga... still ongoing * if you get chance, watch the short live action series done by The Hawks... inebriated... in the dark...
Anything by Junji Ito; horror manga 'specialist'
Lone Wolf and Cub - samurai manga spanning 28 volumes
Shigurui - still ongoing... volume 14 tankoban is supposed to be out already so hopefully it's being processed as of now
Soregashi_Kotsujiki_ni_Arazu and Chidaruma_Kenpou_Onorera_ni_Tsugu done by your's truly, EG
Devilman - 4 volumes ... if you can 'get' what what Go Nagai was trying to portray then you'll have read one of the best manga's ever WARNING this is old school so if you're a sucker for pretty artwork then this won't be easy to read

FYI Jiraishin Diablo got started up recently but with only the first chapter being processed . Thats right Jiraishin has a sequel.

Ubel Blatt is a really great seinen manga up to chapter 98 now
Wolf guy is up to chapter 64 now and one of the best werewolf mangas I've seen (Probably the only one I've seen to be honest.) Almost hentai it's so graphic.
Read a bit of hellsing and liked it, chances are you've already read it but throwing that out there as well
Parasite 10 volumes pretty good read. (Warning though then ending seemed premature imo so if you don't like that shit don't read this.)


Well that's all I got right now, had to pull these outta my ass just to think of a few lol

As Fujin recommended, Parasyte(Kiseiju) is a good read.

Also, try looking into "The Breaker" it's a korean manga.
