    On and off reading: Hayate the Combat Butler, Toriko, Kenji, Until Death do us Part, Hajimete no Aku.

    Going to try: DRUG-ON, Drunken King, Izaykaku, Kugutsu, Melty Blood series, Monk!

    My issue is that even though above is a huge list(and I probably forgot quite a few, also), several have just disappeared, or I'm still waiting weekly/monthly for them.

    I try to limit what I buy bookwise on my nook, so even if I go through and read allthe things I've half assed so far, and the new ones that caught my eye, In a month or so, I'll have nothing but weekly releases left.

    You can see if you actually read all those that I'm not really picky, and there are probably a number of shoujo mana I've read and still read that probably aren't listed, so I'll take anything that's interested enough to get hooked on.

    In my opinion, Eden - It's an Endless World is the best manga ever released. But I don't like most mangas, so we must have very different tastes.

    Quoting from wikipedia:

    Eden is set in the near future, following a pandemic called closure virus which killed 15 percent of the world's population, crippled or disfigured many more, and upset the world's political balance greatly. [...]
    Elijah's father has become a powerful drug lord, feared and despised by many, including, to an extent, his own family. During a terrorist attack, Elijah, at the time aged 15, is separated from his mother and sister and now has to handle things on his own.
    Eden is about his coming-of-age as a man and trying to survive both bodily and morally in world that is too complex for mere "black and white". He encounters many other characters, both allies and enemies, all sharing the same struggle to survive in a post-apocalyptic dystopian world. [...]
    Eden was named Wizard magazine's best manga of 2007. David F. Smith of Newtype USA has called Eden one of the best manga American money can buy.

    The only manga I've read that isn't on your list (just scanned it, so might have missed) is Berserk.

    Quote Originally Posted by Mangareader.net

Aided only by his titanic strength, skill and sword, Gutts must struggle against his bleak destiny, all the while fighting with a rage that might strip him of his humanity. Berserk is a dark and brooding story of outrageous swordplay and ominous fate, in the theme of Shakespeare's MacBeth.
    Unfortunately, the chapter releases are somewhat inconsistent. Went 4 months w/o a release, then 3 chapters in 1 month. It's a bit random.

    i might suggest Prince of Tennis... personally im not a huge sports manga fan but i definately would recommend it... the main character is just so cocky and full of himself that it makes me laugh... completed (although a part 2 is ongoing atm)

    the Elfen Leid manga carries forward from the anime (the anime finished itself about 2/3 through the manga's plot) - very gory/horror about girls that use invisible hands to decapitate people due to the girls natural violent tendancies - with a love story included O.o completed

    one i particularly enjoy, is a korean manga called Noblesse - its about a vampire that wakes up in todays society after about 400 years... rather different to most vampire stories, these vampires are nobles... just read it left to right, full colour too! ongoing

    also if u try hard enough u can find The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya light novels on the net... technically not a manga but definately worth a read (considering this is what the anime was based off, which i loved) ongoing


    EDIT:

    also Rosario + Vampire is about a human boy that gets accidently transferred to a school of demons... his attempts at survival all along while making friends with the hottest girls around (a vampire, a succubus, a witch, an ice demon etc etc) 1/4 ecchi, 1/4 romance, 1/4 comedy and 1/4action... much worth it! season 1 is finished with season 2 ogoing

    OH! and To-Love-Ru, by the same author as Black Cat (which is awesome btw)... basically an ecchi/romance about this boy who helps an alien girl escape from kidnappers, however, this girl is the daughter of the king of the universe! very, very, very ecchi story, with characters from Black Cat make appearances (although with different names and different back stories) - season 1 is complete however season 2 is ongoing, although the main character changes to another person from the first season

    I've read PoT, and I read the second part as it realeases. Elfen Leig I saw the anime of, but since the plot is incomplete I coul go finish it.

    Noblesse I'm definately going to read. I've set a tab for it multiple times and always forget to read it. There are actually quite a few entertaining Korean Manwha worth reading.

    I like R+V, but I never read To-Love-Ru, although I know it's popular, so I'll have to check it out.

    I'm really glad, the stuff mentioned on here should give me another month or two, especially since I'm going to pick Gantz back up as well.
