Reading Lone Wolf and Cub (Kozure Ogami) lately. Pretty good, though the superhuman strength of the protagonist still annoys me. Luckily the incredible art style makes up for it. The historical detail poured into the manga is also really interesting.
Anyone got any more stuff like this? I'm looking for works similar to:
Pluto/20th Century Boys/Monster
JoJo (in particular the later parts)
Akira
Vinland Saga
Vagabond
Kozure Ogami
In short, long sagas without too much shounen BS and featuring a realistic art style. (not the immersion-breaking bland art style of many comic manga)
I still have to read Berserk, so that's one thing.
Two historical epic manga that I love are Ooku and Emperor of the Land of the Rising Sun. Both have very carefully developed characters and plenty of well researched historical details. Neither are action orientated however. There's also the classic Rose of Versailles but the art style and melodrama might not interest you.
