Both Black Lagoon and Jormungand are manga about a group of mercenaries of sorts. Lagoon Company in Black Lagoon does jobs ranging from smuggling, pirating to escorting and all of those contain a fair amount of gunfights. The group from Jormungand is in arms trading business, so what they mainly do is smuggling and theft (not so far from pirating). I don't think I need to mention that those also involve lots of gunfights. If you think that such groups can only consist of people who can't really be called normal, than your right on your money. Anyway, as you can see those series are similar, so you really should go read one if you liked the other.

If you liked this, you'd like this! Both from the same magazine they feature similar takes on the dark underworld of crime with mercs and arms dealers. With similar interactions between the team to contstant high paced action you wont be disappointed.

These series are so similar that there is even a crossover manga written by one of the mangaka. Excellent mix of action and comedy, with compelling, unique characters, and a fun take on the world of international crime.

Both Arms Peddler and Jormungand (as you can probably guess) are about weapon merchants. Both of those manga also feature a young boy who joins an older female weapon merchant and thats all you need to know from this recommendation.

Grach Grach says...

Both Kiba no Tabishounin and Jormungand have a young kid who joins with an older woman and travel the world (in high action ways). In both, the older woman just so happens to be an arms/weapons dealer who give musings upon their work.

Certainty Certainty says...

  Both jormungand and marginal operation feature modern contractors in a realistic setting with realistic weapons. Well, plausible setting. But they are very very similar in many different ways: child soldiers, mercenary, central Asia, decent realism, a relatable characters, a light adventure feel, etc.

It is always a struggle to find this type of manga, so I hope you enjoy them both as much as I have.

Gangsta.

Gangsta.

In the city of Ergastulum, a shady ville filled with made men and petty thieves, whores on the make and cops on the take, there are some deeds too dirty for even its jaded inhabitants to touch. Enter the “Handymen,” Nic and Worick, who take care of the jobs no one else will handle. Until the day when a cop they know on the force requests their help in taking down a new gang muscling in on the territory of a top Mafia family. It seems like business (and mayhem) as usual, but the Handymen are about to find that this job is a lot more than they bargained for.

Guns, fighting, intriguing character development and drama.... check, check, and check.

The only downside is that Gangsta is really, really slow to update.

Billionaire Tono Ryuichi, the President of Tono Foods Group, a giant food company, recently acquired two young female assassins from the Mexican cartel.

They are absolutely obedient to their master and they are given the task of finding the killer that poisoned Ryuuichi’s wife and child. They begin attending high school to blend into society and, at the same time, read and study which helps them become even more deadly on the field. Sui and Ai encounter Matoba Imari who is a high school assassin herself and may be more skilled than both of them. But unlike the two, Imari just wants to lead a normal life. Whatever Imari wishes for her life is not their problem, because the only things Sui and Ai feed on are bloodthirst and a challenge.

Gunsmith Cats: Burst

Gunsmith Cats: Burst

Rally Vincent and Minnie-May Hopkins are two regular American girls. Regular American girls who own a gun shop, and might have dabbled in prostituion, respectively. And who happen to be a crack shot and an explosives expert, respectively. These might be odd skills for American girls, but these two happen to be Chicago's top bounty hunters. Rally can shoot the trigger off a gun from a good distance, and May generally wreaks havoc with explosions and cuteness. And together, with some very useful friends and associates, they make up the Gunsmith Cats.
