Berserk Vol. 1: The Black Swordsman
2.  Berserk Vol. 1: The Black Swordsman by Kentaro Miura

Hellsing Volume 1

Battle Royale Volume 1: v. 1
4.  Battle Royale Volume 1: v. 1 by Masayuki Taguchi

Eden: It's an Endless World!: 1
5.  Eden: It's an Endless World!: 1 by Hiroki Endo

5.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (1 customer review)

Uzumaki: Volume 1
6.  Uzumaki: Volume 1 by Junji Ito

GYO (The Death Stench Creeps): Volume 1
7.  GYO (The Death Stench Creeps): Volume 1 by Junji Ito
The list author says:

Claymore volume 1
8.  Claymore volume 1 by Norihiro Yagi
The list author says:
  "Often badly and unfairly compared to Berserk - as most manga look bad in comparison to Miura's Magnum Opus. Great stuff, though later volumes released in Japan have been poor in my opinion."
£4.97   Used & New from: £1.49
4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (5 customer reviews)

Trigun Volume 1: v. 1
11.  Trigun Volume 1: v. 1 by Yasuhiro Nightow

£7.69   Used & New from: £0.01
4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (4 customer reviews)

Basilisk: v. 1
12.  Basilisk: v. 1 by Masaki Segawa

Black Lagoon volume 1
14.  Black Lagoon volume 1 by Rei Hiroe

Gantz Volume 1

Noise
16.  Noise by Tsutomu Nihei

Naoki Urasawa's 20th Century Boys volume 1
17.  Naoki Urasawa's 20th Century Boys volume 1 by Naoki Urasawa

Snikt!: 5 (Wolverine Legends)
19.  Snikt!: 5 (Wolverine Legends) by Tsutomu Nihei

Shin Angyo Onshi - Der letzte Krieger 01
23.  Shin Angyo Onshi - Der letzte Krieger 01 by Youn In-Wan
