The manga in this list are a polar opposite of iyashikei and slice of life. What separates them from horror or stories about depression is that their protagonists have a good amount of agency and the overall high level of action and carnage in them.
I am only including things in this list I have read in Japanese and would recommend.
The most mainstream series on the list. It also has a good anime adaption for the first 4.5 volumes. Try the coloured version, it looks great.

Earlier work from the same author as chainsaw man. The first chapter may be the best opening to a story I have ever seen. I still think about it from time to time.
