I want a manga where the main character is the smartest or wittiest and gets through all his or her problems with intelligence rather than will power or just sheer strength. I've always loved those Artemis Fowl characters that really are superior to there foes in smarts. the only manga I can think of like this is Gamble Fish or maybe Mahou Sensei Negima after the action picks up later in the series. Thanks for any suggestions

houshin engi -best of its kind ....might not appeal at start but its really good

how about Death Note?

forgot about death note...but yeah I've read it

u might like One Outs ...it's sport manga =>baseball. Tokuchi Toua (pitcher) always seems to have something up to his sleeves. I recently watched anime, but manga is still unfinished , but .... WATCH /READ IT lol

Liar Game...i didn't read it, but main character seems to be really smart.

Bloody Monday
Liar Game
Hammer Session some might say it's like GTO but the main character really uses his head.
Ghost Hunt
MPD Psycho sorta
Kurosagi also centers around con-artists but it's somewhat different.
Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro not sure if this really counts, but it's enjoyable as long as you get used to the art style.
Shibatora genius? maybe not, but he does use his head.
Spiral
Maou: Juvenile Remix main character not necessarily a genius, but it's amazing the different ways he thought up to put such a weak power to use
[m]Full Metal Panic[/m] and Full Metal Panic: Sigma
