My suggestions will include examples and reasons, so it's all under a spoiler tag.

Well, you can help by adding manga. It would be great!
And on a personal level, I really want to add Happy Mania to my want to read list, I do so love Moyoco Anno.

Berserk and Gantz? (Though that is probably a given)

Elfen lied definitely needs it.

I think battle angel alita should probably have it, but it's somewhat borderline. There's a lot of violence, and some scenes with severed heads, but at the same time most of it revolves around androids/cyborgs, so you see wires & lubricants instead of blood & guts.


How exactly is "mature" being defined for the purpose of this tag? Sex? Violence? either/or? Is there any particular cuttoff between what you would call "mature" and mere pg13 type stuff, or is it all a gut feeling kind of thing?
Hellsing might count, IIRC it was pretty violent/gory. I only read about half a volume though (wretched pseudo german accents), so someone who's more familiar with it will need to chime in

edit: nevermind about the fushigi yugi one, I didn't realize the one on the site was some sort of gaiden series.
