How about Angel Sanctuary by Kaori Yuki and Basara by Yumi Tamamura. The former has enough angst to power an entire public high school for a semester, and is based on a very cracked version of Christian cosmology. The latter has less angst (it could hardly have more) but is set in a low-fantasy setting which happens to be post-apocalyptic Japan and has a strong heroine. Both have been completely scanlated as well as completely translated in official volumes, which are still in print.
