Beelzebub (manga) Decent
Black Lagoon (manga) Good Mature audiences only. Action packed, very violent, nihilistic with a lots of graphic language and some T&A (but no actual sex).

Darwin's Game (manga) Excellent
Death March to the Parallel World Rhapsody (manga) Good
Death Note (manga) Not really good Unusual and complicated plot that is viciously indiscriminate and immoral. Maybe it's necessary for the examination of evil, but I didn't find it entertaining. Completed through Volume 2.

(The) Earl & the Fairy (manga) Decent

Fairy Tail (manga) So-so Interest concept of juvenile wizards but the premise and fighting still lacks a defined central arc. Good characterizers and good art but weak plot. Completed through Chapter 70 of 281+ (on Manga Rock).
(The) Faraway Paladin (manga) Very good
Farming Life in Another World (manga) Good

Gantz (manga) Very good Mature audiences only. Bizarre, exciting, action-filled plot with graphic violence, some graphic sex, and very good art. Completed through Chapter 223. (If you liked this try: Black Lagoon)
Genshiken (manga) complete, 9 volumes
Girls Saurus (manga) So-so Light comedy fare with plenty of over the top fan service. Stories move quickly but there is no plot. Includes Girls Saurus (Chapters 1-17) and Girls Saurus DX (Chapters 1-25). Decent art.
(The) Greatest Magicmaster's Retirement Plan (light novel) Decent Completed through Chapter 13.
Hachinantte Sore wa Nai Deshō! (light novel) Very good
Hanaukyo Maid Team (manga) Not really good The first few chapters are awful but it does come up to an even keel after that. Unfortunately the standard is mediocre although potential is always just out of grasp. Completed through Volume 3 of 13.
Hayate the Combat Butler (manga) Good Lighthearted comedy with lots of sly manga references and comments that break the fourth wall. Interesting characters and not much plot, but it moves quickly. Decent art. Completed through Volume 6, Chapter 59. (If you liked this try: One Piece.)

In/Spectre (manga) Very good
Interviews with Monster Girls (manga) Good Completed through Chapter 37.

March comes in like a lion (manga) Decent 17 year old boy coming of age story using professional Shogi as the driving force. Good plot, still too early to see how all the characters play out, poor art. If you liked this try Hikaru no Go (using a middle school protagonist).

My Boy in Blue (manga) Good
My Dress-Up Darling (manga) Very good
My Hero Academia (manga) Very good
My Little Monster (manga) Decent Teen angst in full force with reciprocating on again, off-again romance that is, quite frankly, hard to follow the intentions of the main couple. By Chapter 20 I no longer care for the main characters. Decent art. Completed through Chapter 20.
My Room Is a Dungeon Rest Stop (manga) Decent
Nagasarete Airantou (manga) Not really good Plot never changes through Chapter 15. I got bored. Decent art.
Neet Princess Terrass (manga) Not really good Interesting concept of a Royal Guard who has to convert a NEET princess that just never hooked me. Poor art.
Negima! Magister Negi Magi (manga) Good Interesting concept (think Harry Potter meets Love Hina) but too many characters to keep track of. Completed through Volume 16. (If you liked this try: Love Hina, Mahoromatic)
(The) New Gate (manga) So-so
Nidomeno jinsei wo isekai de. (manga) Very good

Otogi no Machi no Rena (manga) Decent Completed through Chapter 4.
Pandora Hearts (manga) Decent Interesting plot setup but it never goes anywhere, and takes a long time doing it. Good characters. Good art.
Platinum Garden (manga) Not really good A convoluted plot and the character development shrouded in mystery makes this a confusing read. The panel layout often makes it hard to tell who is talking, only adding to the difficulty of trying to figure out what is going on. Completed through Volume 6.
Rave Master (manga) So-so
Re:Monster (manga) Excellent
REC (manga) Not really good Mature audiences only (sex). Interesting setup but something about the main relationship just doesn't hold water. So-so art. Complete through Chapter 31. (If you liked this try: Dance till Tomorrow, Living Game)

Reincarnated as a Sword (manga) Decent
(The) Rising of the Shield Hero (manga) Very good Completed through Chapter 63.

Seirei Gensouki - Spirit Chronicles (manga) Good
Seto no Hanayome (manga) So-so Standard over-hyped teen boy roped into forced marriage with super-hot girl which, of course, must be kept secret. Only the reason for keeping it secret adds any interest, which soon fades into the standard episodes. Decent art. Completed through Volume 2.
(The) Seven Deadly Sins (manga) Very good
Sewayaki Kitsune no Senko-san (manga) Decent
Shibatora (manga) So-so Completed through Chapter 8.
Silver Nina (manga) Very good
Silver Spoon (manga) Excellent Patient and thoughtful comedy with excellent characters telling a story that you end of caring about. Excellent art.
Skeleton Knight in Another World (manga) Decent
Slow Step (manga) Not really good The reluctant girl being pursued by three different suitors just never got to the point where I cared about the main protagonist. Completed through Chapter 27.
Sola (manga) Decent All the characters seemed so depressed, it just didn't entice me to stuck with it. Completed through Chapter 14.
Soredemo Sekai wa Utsukushii (manga) Excellent Completed through Chapter 119.
Soul Eater (manga) Good Slow moving, hasn't captured my interest. The overall plot arc is still developing, but it seems like it's going to long and drawn out. Sigh. Different but uninspiring characters, so-so plot (so far), good art.
Spice & Wolf (manga) Masterpiece Completed through Chapter 29. Now following light novels.
Stepping on Roses (manga) Decent Fairly typical setup with a slowly building storyline. The premise is set now it's just trying to flush out all the motives through the tribulations. Completed through chapter 32.
Strawberry 100% (manga) So-so A nice setup of a boy with a dream but the manic pace of the story turned me off. Your typically spineless protagonist and bevy of overly excitable friends don't bring anything new the story. Decent art. Completed through Volume 2.
Tegami Bachi: Letter Bee (manga) Decent Nice setup and decent characters but the background story arc is taking a long time to build a compelling hook and I'm starting to lose interest. Good set. Completed through Chapter 54.
Tenjo Tenge (manga) So-so Mature audiences only (violence and sex). An attempt to combine the [a] family destiny maiden [b] high school group power struggle [c] and "i want to be stronger" male character. Contains lots of fight scenes and lots of fan-service. But I'm still waiting for a real plot to emerge. Completed through volume 2.

TRAIN+TRAIN (manga) Decent Completed through Volume 1 of 6. Can't locate remaining volumes.
Tsubaki-chō Lonely Planet (manga) Decent

Umi no Misaki (manga) Good
Unbreakable Machine-Doll (manga) Good Completed through ?? (licensed)
(The) Unwanted Undead Adventurer (manga) Very good
Vagabond (manga) Decent Graphic fight scenes, some sex, a hint of romance, and mysterious & humorous benefactors make for a good central story. But the side stories drag it down, instead of expanding the story they end up diluting it. Good characters, good art, but the longer the series goes on, the weaker the plot becomes. Completed through Volume 26. (If you liked this try: Samurai Deeper Kyo, Blade of the Immortal)
We Were There (manga) Very good
World’s End Harem (manga) So-so Completed through Chapter 47.
Wotakoi: Love is Hard for Otaku (manga) Good Completed though Chapter 28.
