That old book Instant Japanese with Duolingo (section one Japanese) would be great for starters.
I had to learn Japanese arduously so I can understand what's going on in Silent Möbius (deeper storyline and more original than conventional cyberpunk) volumes 9-12. The '98 anime didn't cover those while leaving out details. Now I'm excited to use Japanese for exploring Grand Knights History. I don't want to play that game with a translation patch at all.
Other than that! You may like indie comics such as Monsters, The Furry Trap, Beautiful Darkness, The Nao of Brown, Panther (not Black Panther, that's Marvel), Clyde Fans, Stray Toasters, The Incal, Uzumaki or The Black Monday Murders.
They all explore similar themes to Speed Grapher than conventional graphic novels and mainstream manga.
East of West is an entirely different animal, but it's also very suitable for adults.
Great! Thanks for the link.
Yeah, I might need help with designing them. I've always had a rough idea of their images, but it's hard to translate it onto paper y'know?
Anyway, I'll see if I can come up with something soon.

Have you been studying Japanese too and what do you love most about Speed Grapher?
