Looking for recommendations on action heavy manga

Hey guys,
I’ve been pretty disappointed with a lot of recent anime. It feels like many of them are missing the things I enjoy most, so I decided to get more into manga since I haven’t read that many before.
Some of my favorites are Bleach, Berserk, Jujutsu Kaisen, Kengan Ashura, Majo Taisen, Tenkaichi, Rosengarten Saga, and Jackals. I also really enjoyed Shinmai Maou no Testament before it went full-on hentai 😂. And of course Solo Leveling, if manhwa counts.
I’m looking for manga with:
Awesome, over-the-top fights.
Badass protagonists (especially ones wielding ridiculously huge swords or other crazy weapons).
Busty, attractive female characters.
A darker, more mature tone is a huge plus.
Also, I’ve had my eye on Tensei Colosseum and Seikon no Qwaser for a while. Are they any good, and do they fit what I’m looking for?
I’m open to both popular and underrated recommendations!

Question regarding Guts’ Dragonslayer

One of the most iconic swords, has me questioning reality of wielding such a weapon. We all know that Guts’ height is around 204 cm, and the sword length is 183 cm, weighting around 180 kgs…

But the main thing that eats at is that, such blade can hardly be sharpened, and likely it’s used more like a blunt weapon because of its mass, no matter how skilled the wielder is, he most likely will have a problem using it to slice the foes…

Second, using a sword of this height and weight, most likely will cause a very strong fatigue on the users shoulders, traps and arms, considering Guts eternal struggle for survival (esp. with the brand) and with very limited recovery and rest time wielder simply won’t last long (although we know Guts is made different)

Third, most similar blade to the Dragonslayer is Japanese Odachi, which are again usually are between 130 - 175 cm long, but compared to Dragonslayer they have very thin blade, making much lighter weapon

The blade which Guts used in the beginning of the series feels more natural and able to slice.

I’m not very proficient with swords, even though they’re my passion. So if you can share some knowledge of the user of similar swords in history or if it’s actually possible to wield such a sword please share your thoughts
