Once again i have nothing to read anymore and i'm looking for some nice manga recommendations. I don't have a specific genre or plot in mind, but please no yuri/shojou ai and shotacon/lolicon or incest. I regularly look through the "I'm looking for"-Section, so i probably already tried most of the manga that are mentioned there very often... that's why i hope that someone has a similiar taste to mine and is able to tell me about some new manga or not widely known gems
It would be nice if the story is already finished and complety scanlated or still active and getting scanlated. I'm not looking for storys that are going on endlessly and seem to have no goal/ending (like 30+ volumes and still ongoing...).
Here are some examples for the kind of manga i'm looking for or the kind of feeling they should have:
Uchuu Kyoudai --> found it only a few days ago, came to me as a great suprise!
Ashita no Ousama
All Rounder Meguru
Capeta
Vinland Saga
Gangsta
Love So Life
Horimiya
Haikyu!!
Otoyomegatari
Team Medical Dragon
Flat (AOGIRI Natsu) --> sadly the scanlations seem to be on hold
Sangatsu no Lion
Barakamon
Clover (TETSUHIRO Hirakawa)
Last but not least:
- I would prefer manga, not manhwa etc.
- if possible, no webcomics or full colored
- i would like the artwork to be similiar to the examples given above
- i really enjoy it, if the main character has some hobby or goal that he/she really loves and tries to work for/reach it
- violence, blood and death is fine as long as it's not the main purpose of the story
Well, i hope you guys can help me and thanks to everyone who tries to think about a recommendation
Edit:
- i'm not really interested in harem/reverse harem, GenderBender or Mecha

Bonnouji not being mentioned is intended?
similar feel to horimiya:
Nijiiro Days (MIZUNO Minami)
________________
in need of romance?
uncommon, sad, sweet

If you like Clover, you will probably like Crows and Worst, mabye even QP. Theres a spin-off of Crows (Kinda like a prequel) Crows Zero II: Suzuran x Houen, the artist is same as Clover for that spin off, but the story comes from the Crows Mangaka.
The protagonists of Crows and Worst are very similar to the MC of Clover, Especially in Worst

Already read all the QP, Crows and Worst etc. But thanks for the reminder, maybe i will once again look at the spin-offs. And maybe i should clean my reading list....
I'm not interested in anime but i started the Shingeki no Kyojin manga, good stuff! Harem and GenderBender isn't really my thing and perhaps i already read Hana Kimi can't remember anymore.
Ore Monogateri and Life is Money sound very good.
Thank you both for your suggestions!

Wa ga na wa umishi-similar feel to team medical dragon or uchuu kyoudai, its a career quest type about salvaging.
Miyori no mori has a similar feel to barakamon, with the countryside theme but a bit more drama and supernatural elements.
All the works by KASAI Sui, such as Witch of the flower forest have a similar feel to barakamon as well...though more for the light sienen and sweet characters.
Chichi kogusa-another with a similar atmosphere. Its based around the life of a travelling herbalist and his son.
Saint oniisan as a general light comedic manga.
Bouken erekitetou-she works as a delivery person with her plane and really aims to find a certain place, to the point of obsession.
If you like the one above you may like Omoide emanon, Magi and Children of the sea as well.
In terms of careers there's Kokou no hito which all based on mountain climbing
Wild life but it may be a bit too shounen for you..
Bremen- Its a career quest about a rock band. There's something different about the atmosphere, but its page turner, read it in a huge block.
Moyashimon is enjoyable, set in a school but still a lot of info specific to the field.
Gin no saji-though tbh there was something about it that's kept me from going back to it (read first chapter only), not bad or anything though.
Kurosagi-has cool scenarios, definitely a favourite...all about swindling, could call it a hobby lol.
Jisatsutou-from the cover it doesn't seem it but is actually a lot to do with hunting and honing survival skills on a deserted island.
Golondrina-bullfighting, though quite character based.
Yokokuhan-not a career but has certain goals and reasoning which make it interesting.
For vinland saga i second Historie and maybe try Kingdom, Me and the devil blues (dropped though) and Green blood.
