From Anime News Network:
In a near future, technology has firmly taken root into society at large. Cybernetic implants are nothing uncommon and robots roam as plentiful as humans, all connected through their "ghosts" to the electronic datastreams of the net. Major Kusanagi Motoko and the Public Security Section 9 find themselves in a constant battle with the newly created wave of technological terrorists and cyber-hackers. But things take a turn once Motoko gets involved in a certain case involving an extremely dangerous "ghost" hacker nicknamed the Puppeteer, as she dives deeper and deeper into the limitless reality of the net, to reach her own startling conclusions.
Even by today's standards, this is a startlingly dark, bleak, violent manga about a justice-seeking hitman and his associates. It has more than enough action, sinister bad guys, and occultish themes to satisfy any action manga fan.
A squad of soldiers receive a distress signal from an abandoned mining facility where they soon have to face dangerous creatures in a battle of survival.
Starts February 7th.
The year is 2206, and mankind has only 100 years left on planet Earth. The "Nation-Toppling Battle", a war with the survival of each country on the line, begins!!

A disturbing manga inspired by an even more disturbing movie of the same name (aka Suicide Club). As you might expect, they both deal with the theme of suicide. However, the plots of the manga and movie are significantly different, so don't wory about spoilers and such. Finally, I'd just like to point out that the manga isn't for the faint of heart, and the movie even more so.
Garouden is the story of a muscular man named Bunshichi Tanba who trained hard for five years to get his revenge on Kajiwara, the only man to have defeated him in a fight.
The storyline follows a-team of pirate mercenaries called Lagoon Company, that smuggles goods around the seas of Southeast Asia in the early to mid 90's. Their base of operations is situated in the fictional seaport city of Roanapur in south-east Thailand (someplace in the Amphoe Mueang Trat district, probably on the mainland north/north-east of the Ko Chang island or on the isle itself). The isle is home to an extensive range of all kinds of pickpockets, thugs, mercenaries, thieves, prostitutes, assassins, and Gunmen, the Triad, French and Cuban cartels, and the Yakuza. They transport items in the 80-foot (24 m) Elco-kind PT boat Black Lagoon. Lagoon Company does business with various customers, but has a specially friendly relationship with all the Russian crime syndicate Hotel Moscow. The group assumes many different assignments--which might involve brutal firefights, hand-to-hand combat, and nautical conflicts--in different Southeast Asian places, even going as significantly as Phu Quoc island of Vietnam and when not doing much, the members of the Lagoon Company spend much of the down time in The Yellow Flag, a pub in Roanapur which is usually ruined in firefights.
