Blade of the Immortal. A manga about a bad ass ronin doin' what a bad ass ronin does best - killing everything in sight!

In addition to the other recommendations, you might want to try 'Offered', also by Kazuo Koike, pretty much for the comedy value. From artbomb.net:

"Pulp fiction is alive and well and living overseas. In Hollywood, the OFFERED short-pitch would go a little something like this:
Olympic-bound athlete Boy meets insane biker militia Girl, who is offspring of Hitler (whom we learn was augmented to greatness by some weird alien fetal mummy) and reveals to Boy that Gilgamesh ejaculated into elephant tusks and stored them in glaciers so that his seed would be eternal, Girl cajoles Boy into sex, believing the offspring of Hitler and Gilgamesh would rule the world, Girl is murdered by mysterious paramilitary supernazi treasure-hunting cabal while Boy believes himself to be the heir of Gilgamesh, so Boy and crew team up to unearth Gilgamesh's hidden treasures."

Enticing, no?

Yeah, check out Blade of the Immortal, it might be what you're looking for. Another great manga is Berserk, it's very bloody. Being released very slowly though.
