Duranki? That's interesting that it's someone's top manga, it's really a shame we couldn't see it's full potential I've actually been reading a nice manga called The girl from the other side and I highly recommend it!Berserk, Duranki, Akira, Ghost in the Shell and Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind to name my top favorites.
As a "lighter" read, I really enjoyed Gokushufudō (aka. The way of the Household Husband) and Gokusen. Both depict people in the middle of Yakuza families, have interesting characters and are very funny. I am searching for light and smart mangas to fill the reading void...
Yes it is heartbreaking to be honest. I loved the idea of how myths are made and how the birth of ideas (for tool making for example) was depicted. I also loved the whole idea of being an outsider or rather... In between (genders, human/God etc). Miura truly was brilliant and brave and it's a shame we never get to see his vision.Duranki?

Ditto. I'm a really big fan of Toriyama's comedic sensibilities; his dry sense of humor, his comedic timing, and the elaborate gag-based naming-system he employs in Dragon Ball. I also really like fantasy martial arts/kung fu media, and Dragon Ball has Toriyama applying his Dr. Slump style shitposting to things like Jackie Chan films, Bruce Lee films, Journey to the West, and Fist of the North Star.I am a huge Dragon Ball fan! And by extension, Akira Toriyama's work in general. I have just about every book he has published in English in my collection, and once I get a sewing machine I plan on making some custom DB-themed clothes too! Something about the art style and the carefree nature of the writing sucks me in, just a big fan of Toriyama's style
I've been reading Chainsaw Man. It's the first manga in a long, long time that I've been reading regularly. It's been the anime/manga that lots of people have been talking about lately, so I decided to check it out. There's so much to love about this series.
All those manga are steeped in Japanese sensibilities of style and aesthetics, though. They're not really Western save for the facial structure of some characters. I've never read Claymore, but maybe it's something you're looking for, since all the stuff you mentioned have grim stories, and I think it's the same with Claymore. Seirei No Moribito and Otoyomegatari (A Bride's story), too.I'll be honest, the concept seems stupid to me.
Btw, are there any manga, fantasy or historical that are similar to Berserk, Vagabond, Vinland and/or Guin Saga? Something with more realistic/ western style looking characters like the aforementioned manga.

Claymore
Kingdom
Not realistic/western looking but Shin Angyo Onshi is pretty good.I'll be honest, the concept seems stupid to me.

I see, sorry I wasn't of help. Kingdom is a battle shounen, it has some cool stuff, though and I remember Shin getting better as a character in later chapters.Aye, that's what I meant.
Read it several years ago, though I found it to be mediocre.
I think I watched one season of that but I didn't like the main character, too shounen-ish.

Nah, no biggie. I think I'll search for some historical/fantasy books.I see, sorry I wasn't of help. Kingdom is a battle shounen, it has some cool stuff, though and I remember Shin getting better as a character in later chapters
Blade of the Immortal, perhaps?Btw, are there any manga, fantasy or historical that are similar to Berserk, Vagabond, Vinland and/or Guin Saga? Something with more realistic/ western style looking characters like the aforementioned manga.
Yep. https://www.skullknight.net/forum/i...similar-fates-of-guin-saga-and-berserk.16308/Has anybody read Guin Saga? I got my hands on the first volume of the manga but couldn't find anything else until I found this YouTube chanal where a lady reads the English translation of the books. Really interesting! Since Miura liked the books, it's fun to think about that while listening to the audio version of it.
