I want to read something nice for a change. Something similar to Noragami, Tokyo ESP, Vampire Juujikai, Shin Angyo Onshi, Alive - The Final Evolution, ...

In other words - something with very good art, consistent and interesting story, with fantasy/super power hint to it.

Second type I`m looking for is mystery/crime/horror manga. Maybe with some shoujo/josei as well but not mandatory. What come to mind as examples: Conductor, MPD Psycho, Psychometrer Eiji, ES, Kimi no Knife, Shiki, Shiranui Kitanroku etc...

I don`t want any harem, echi, yaoi, yuri titles, however a mild shounen ai is fine(ex: Kuroshitsuji, Amatsuki, DN Angel etc)

Please give me only titles with at least 10 chapters or completed.

Thank you smile

If you don't mind a little gore, try Battle Angel Alita and sequel. Personally, I like the sequel more.

It doesn't have many chapters, but you may want to keep your eye on Kanshikan Tsunemori Akane.

Some others (completed):
Kiseijuu
Kurozuka
Shingetsutan Tsukihime

Everything with exception of Psycho pass I have read.
As for PP I prefer waiting the second anime season.
BAA - I read it long ago so I could possibly re-read it since I don`t remember all that much. I know that I liked it in spite of the hardcore sci-fi setting.

Here are some others that I can think of that have interesting stories:

Dimension W
Btooom!
Deadman Wonderland
Until Death Do Us Part
World Embryo
Zetman sorta

Your reading list isn't public, so don't blame me if you're already following these. smile

I'm just going to list series I like that I don't see on your lists for the first one...

Acony
Are You Alice?
Arpeggio of Blue Steel (sci-fi)
Bokurano (more sci-fi than fantasy)
Dusk Story - Tasogare Monogatari
Golden Days (the fantasy isn't very prevalent)
Husk of Eden (nothing fantastical so far)
Kekkaishi
Murasakiiro no Qualia (again, sci-fi)
Mushishi
Ookami ga Kuru!

Also, this is a semi-serious and semi-joking recommendation, but you should read Donyatsu. It has good art, an interesting story, and, um, hints of fantastical things happening. Yeah.

For the second request, I literally just plugged in "horror" and "mystery" and took the series I read and liked, so your mileage may vary with these...

6000, seinen
Ajin, seinen
Ark, shounen (though this one hasn't been updated in a long while)
Dantalian no Shoka, seinen
Dawn - Tsumetai Te, shoujo
Doll Star, seinen
Motto, Ikitai..., shoujo
Shuuen no Shiori, shoujo
Toukei Ibun, seinen
