So, basicaly I´m looking for a manga/book, whatever, where the protagonist has a dark past effekting him/her greatly. Or, no, correction, if the dark "thing" happens considerably fast in the plot, then it dosn´t matter if the charcter has a dark past, but still I think I´m most to the dark past.A lot of dark and strong feelings is required, hidding them behind a facade isn´t a bad thing, even a plus deppending on how it´s done/performed/executed, whatever.Some seriously emotional "outbreaks" is necessary, especialy if the feelings are hidden for the rest of the world. Violence, maybe because of distress, would be great, revenge to 😃The genre dosn´t matter, it could be anything from Übel Blatt to Watashitachi no Shiawase na Jikan, actually, the reason I just need to read a lot about other peoples sufferings is because I just reread Mars, and thought I just had to ask all these fantastic people out there after a littel glimps of their knowledge about this topic, since it seems I failed to do a good search myself.Psychological plots with a lot of "special" complicated persons and relationships could be another way to express my need? 4x4g16

I sincerely hope to get a lot of great recommendations, please do not hold anything back, and share with me, what you think belongs to this topic and help me greatly 🤣

Thanks in advance - and sorry for my english

berserk

Revenge is a major plot point throughout the whole manga and you see plenty of characters pursuing it. Quite dark

I´m very grateful for your recommendations, through I have already read Flowers of Evil and Kareshi Kanojo no Jijou. I have never really been able to start reading Berserk, I have no idea why, but now I hope I can get started with it 😀

Skip Beat! Not quite sure how you will feel about this one because it's overall message is "learning to love" but it can be quite dark and sad at times because the main girl has "lost the ability to love" plus she had a very bad childhood. I'm mainly reading it because she has "hate demons" and she can be very evil at times.

You could also try Ayashi no Ceres it has a lot of dark undertones and is very tragic

I second this; especially when

Ren's whole dark past comes into it.

Seconding this, but I recommend watching the anime; it's better than the manga.
