Nowadays we have some people who consider themselves above others, vile in their attitudes, and unjust to the normal folks, so one would think the story in this dark fantasy manga is focused on these dark truths!
But that’s not an exact fact in this manga whereas it’s more about torturing, sadism, backstabbing and cannibalism, a general lack of empathy, where it feels just like a caricature of dark Evil!
However, when Raul had defeated the demon king as the strongest hero, he should have become the savior of the world, having his treasured companions and family killed by powerful hungry aristocrats, he was executed with false charges brought against him by the princess, and just before his life collapsed, at last, his heart fell into darkness!

5. The Death Mage Who Doesn’t Want a Fourth Time
To start this off, I have to say that this story is dark fantasy manga is quite unique! it’s an Isekai one but at least changed the concept a bit! Even though the protagonist had gone through all that torture, he didn’t really go like the typical edgy MC way, and still befriended the other characters giving them a hand!
However it’s sad when you read this dark fantasy manga, sometimes you will think it talks about you! When you don’t find anyone to really understand and care about u, it’s a manga full of dark fantasy which will probably make you sad a lot!
Anyways the MC Hiroto is unlucky, his life consisted of misfortune after misfortune, he gets killed in an accident on a school boat trip, after trying to save a girl he barely knew, after his death, he meets a god of Reincarnation who sent him to another world, it’s like his misfortune will never end!

4. Berserk of Gluttony
In this manga Fate, Barbatos has never tasted or tried real power before! He was born with the magical skill Gluttony, he constantly hungers in a way that can’t be satisfied, and has been shunned and looked down upon his entire life.
Once as he was working as a gatekeeper for a noble family and also fighting trespassing thieves, there he discovers Gluttony’s true power, whenever he kills someone he devours their skills and feeds his gnawing hunger at last! Now he knows his true powers and potential, so you will just keep counting how many lives he will be feeding his hunger!
However, the backgrounds are a bit too empty, the hands and feet feel off, and the movements look a bit stiff, but the art is overall of good quality with a very cool fight, so it’s a great dark fantasy manga to read may amigos…
3. Ragna Crimson
In this action-packed dark fantasy, humanity lives under the threat of annihilation by immensely powerful dragons, so the dragon hunter Ragna embarks on a revenge-fueled quest to eliminate that threat once and for all, dragon: warriors armed with special silver weapons who kill their prey for bounty.
The lowest among their ranks is Ragna, who forms an improbable partnership with the young genius Leonica, a master dragon slayer with more kills to her name than almost any other, so now Ragna wants to stay by her side, but unfortunately, his dream will collapse when the deadliest dragon attacks!
I will say just one thing, this is an absolutely amazing manga, amazing story, the battles are awesome something you see once in a while guys so do not skip this dark fantasy manga.
2. The Executed Sage Is Reincarnated as a Lich and Starts an All-Out War
The story is about a sage who has saved the world alongside the hero but ended up getting betrayed by humanity! The way I see it humanity is just an empty symbol that people use to make themselves feel a bit comfortable!
Anyway, the sage then got revived as a skeleton or can be called a lich, upon his revival the sage now wants to get rid of the humans who have strayed into the wrong side by killing them, after he was dragged into the dark world, he had some great powers that even surpasses the demon king himself!

1. Killing Me / Killing You
Ever since a meteorite fell, the world has become strange, two young immortals, one of them is Meteor and the other one is Youthanasia! They are traveling through this Crazy world in hopes of finding a way to die! So now I have to say this: what made them go for this goal? And why this weakness?
However, if I had to read a dark fantasy manga that will impress me I would choose this one as my first read, because it has a pretty good set, and very exciting to read as you imagine the apocalyptic version of the end of the world! Moreover, the characters are unique and unlike having something special like being op or stuff.
They have experiences in life that make them totally different and fun to read about, some are fed up with life and some grow too long for life! Some kill some die to protect the one they love! Overall, it’s just the best dark fantasy manga that you could read with exactly what you’re expecting it to represent to you.
