Actually, THE dark fantasy manga.
Berserk tells the story of Guts, the Black Swordsman. In the first three arcs, we are introduced to Guts as this no-nonsense, badass guy with a dark past who travels around killing monsters.
The manga then flashbacks to the Golden Age arc and begins to tell exactly how Guts became Guts. Turns out there is a lot more to him killing monsters than you'd think.
It's pretty damn good.
It's also incredibly dark at some points; so be prepared if you decide to go into it.
