I'm sure everyone has a few choice series that they come back to every month or two to give it another read. Usually these types don't have too much story and mainly just have one chapter stretches of comedy, awesome fight, or romance. Most likely cuz long stories are hard to hold an interest in when you know what will happen :/.
Anyway I decided to make a thread for people to post their small list of series that they think fit, with maybe a little explaination as to why on some. For mine id have to say kyou kara ore wa definitely gets a mention, but as its so long I usually just pick a random chapter a read a stretch of it, then skip to its awesome conclusion(which I wish was a little more grand in the afterword ). Next would be ai kora hands down one of the funniest lead characters ever, and the gag humor is just plain hilarious no matter how many times you read it. angel densetsu is definately eligable for rereading, but maybe not extremely often as the slightly slower paced story can get very stale if over read... anyway I've got a few more but ill leave it at that to get things started, and I'm going to go finish a stretch of kyou kara ore wa, or maybe AIKI(not really a reread as it's not complete :/)

Eyeshield 21 can never get tired of this manga. I must have read it at least 5 times over and over again.
Koi dano ai dano only 7 chapters until now, but 7 great chapters at that.
Coelacanth the characters, the plot and the drawing are appealing.

Beast Master, this really could have been a lot longer.
I ♥ HS: It went so fast that I couldn't really enjoy it, the story wasn't great at all, but I really liked the set up. I just didn't like the way it was executed, but I like re-reading so I can have inspiration to do fan fiction in my head (the type of person that daydreams manga). I enjoy my versions much better though.
Yakuza Girl: It was so short, and the characters were so likable, wish it had gone on for a while longer.
I guess the series that have the biggest impression on me are the ones that tease you with like 14 chapters and then leave you just hanging there. That also goes for SWOT too.

Pandora Hearts. I have all the English versions of it, so it's no doubt I'd reread it over and over again. I used to reread it to make some fan art or because I didn't understand something, but like now, since I've read all the current chapters, I reread it for the laughs and scary, dark scenes =3

The Laughing Vampire
I really, really, like the art. I can't really say much for the story. but the art is...the perfect art for me. And the gore in it doesn't hurt either lol.
While I'm reading it my mind just goes crazy imagining things.

Eh... doesn't this entirely depend on your personal preference...
Ichigo 100%
Girl Friends
Pastel
Shingeki no Kyojin
Ichigo 100% and Girl Friends both read the whole thing like 4 times...
Pastel is great for reread if you have time
Shingeki no Kyojin reread all available chapters after I realized it was so well written.

Usually I reread series that have either one or more of these characteristics:
1. episodic
2. comedy/mystery as genre
3. entertaining (for me) and awesome story. Sometimes includes surprising twist
Detective Conan, Kindaichi Shounen no Jikenbo, Sket Dance, One Piece,Yotsubato!, Pet shop of Horrors, xxxHolic, Gintama, Natsume Yuujinchou are those which have characteristic 1 and 2.
Glass no Kamen: the story is classic, I learn acting (sort of) from this manga
Harlem Beat: hilarious, but sometimes it has tearjerking moments
Shingeki no Kyojin: interesting premise and the execution is done well.
Durarara!: great twist, I enjoy this series

Out of the top of my head i'll say Angel Densetsu is definatly a rereadable story, i did it 3 times already.
Real is also so damned good that whenever a new volume comes out i read it all again from the beggining.

Berserk easily.
Blame!
Trigun Maximum
Old Boy
Dragonball
Although, if I didn't purchase them, I probably wouldn't have re-read any of them.

As p3pelepe has mentioned, I'd go for Yotsubato! simply for its episodic nature (plus the comedy).
I have a somewhat good memory and if I were to reread a series with a continuous plot, I'd usually skip huge chunks of it/scan through it just to get to the good parts. Unfortunately, that is the reason why many of my manga remain on the bookshelf in pristine condition and mostly untouched...
Another one to add would be Nijigahara Holograph - it's nice to learn something new everytime I pick up this manga.

Anedoki I really loved the whole thing and probably cause I have a slight crush on Natuski.
Girl Friends Ah what can I say. Mari x Akiko = Cute Couple :3 Loved the plot, the art, well basically the whole thing in general.
Ares One of my favourite shounens easily.
