I'm looking for a manga or western comic (or anything) where the villain is manipulative and plans ahead so everything is according to his keikaku. Preferably a series where the characters have abilities or powers of some kind.
No abilities or powers or anything like that, but I think a pretty good example is the movie 'Oldboy".
Berserk.
