9. Mermaid's Forest (Viz Graphic Novel) by Rumiko Takahashi

The list author says:
	"Very under-rated, and also one of the most twisted series I've ever read. Rumiko Takahashi fans were probably shocked, but it's very dark and clever."

10. Mermaid's Scar (Viz Graphic Novel) by Rumiko Takahashi

The list author says:

11. Mermaid's Gaze (Viz Graphic Novel) by Rumiko Takahashi

The list author says:

12. Lone Wolf and Cub Volume 1: The Assassin's Road (Lone Wolf and Cub (Dark Horse)) by Goseki Kojima

The list author says:
	"Possibly the best on the list, although I slightly preffered Akira because it was one big storyline. Lone Wolf and cub is very mature and deep. Possibly the most grown-up manga that exsists..."

15. Black and White: 1 by Taiyo Matsumoto

The list author says:

16. Ghost in the Shell (Ghost in the Shell 1) by Masamune Shirow

The list author says:
