I'm starting to run low on manga that interests me and I thought you guys might have worthwhile recomendations. So here are my criteria. 3t4m1b

What I love: Manga about games with specific rules, gambling, money and survival.
Examples: Liar game, Kaiji, Kurosagi and Battle royale.

I'm pretty sure I read everything worthwhile (and some of the worse pieces too) from these genres though.

What I like: Manga With no clearly defined good and bad sides, manga without a clear antagonist and protagonist, manga with a lot of character development, manga with a protagonist that isn't driven by justice and/or friendship and/or loyalty.
Examples: Dorohedoro, Death note, Shingeki no Kyojin, Berserk

I prefer seinen manga but at this point I would settle for dark shounen or manhwa as well.

What I don't want: Shoujo, romance driven plots, slice of life manga, manga that only advances plot by moving from a 1v1 fight to another, manga on my reading or complete list.

While such manga can have it's merits it is not what I am looking for.

If anyone has any recommendations for me I thank you in advance.

What about One Outs ? I wouldn't call it a really dark manga but it may be close to what you are looking for.
Since you like death note, you could also try read mirai nikki.

Doubt was decent and so the authors new manga judge. Read them both though.

I'm going to read freesia now thanks for the recomendation.

How about Kiseijuu ?
You even seen or heard of the movie, "The Thing ('82 or '11)"? Now, imagine if "The thing" took place in Japan.

Put eden from my on hold list back to my reading list, don't feel like reading the slice of lifeish stories of Endo Hiroki Tanpenshu but i put it on my wishlist for later.

Old Boy - A series based on a man finding the truth of why he was locked away. Very morbid ending

It seems like most seinen gambling manga I wanted to recommend has already been read by you 🤣 Anyway, you may try the anime adaptation of Tetsuya, seeing you have the manga in your wish list. Or you could try starting Doctor Du Ming, Japan Tengu Party Illustrated and you should read Takemitsu Zamurai now. (not gambling series - sorry)
