The moment I found the mc is bound to someone~ dropped
Ojou-sama with tsundere characteristic, both in shounen and shoujo~ dropped
Childhood friend or imouto trying to wake male lead first thing in the chapter~ dropped
Good girls as rival in shoujo (I prefer b*tches cos kind girls are annoying as rival)~ dropped
One sided love from the mc(point of view char)~ dropped
Too heroic mc and kind mc trying to be badass/reserve~ dropped
Author overdid things~ dropped
I dropped way too much manga, but it's not exactly based on these. Sometimes I feel like I just don't like a certain manga, but sometimes I might like manga with those negative aspects.
I especially hate tsundere ojou-sama tough.
PS: For minecraft addicts, mc here means main character. (-_-; )

- A sudden deep downhill and never climbs up again (Kimi no Iru Machi)
- Immediate change of 'feelings'/'tastes' of the manga (Shingeki no Kyojin)
- Dragging too long AND declining (all the Jumpy manga's including Naruto, Bleach etc)
- Too typical, predictable and boring; a story that goes nowhere (Fairy Tail)
- Just... can't stand it, no particular reasons. (Aozora Yell)

SHOUJO : That moment when it begins to drag and suck really bad. The 'parents' start to come into the picture and force themselves between any couple available.
SHOUNEN : That moment when everybody dies for the male lead but the male lead does bad decisions.
YAOI : The moment I open one and found out that the 'uke' is a 'seke'.
YAOI (PART 2) : The moment I discovered that the 'seme' is 'bisexual'.

Aside from the typical "boring" and "bad" reasons, I would definitely say that excess boobs/ecchi turns me off...

Bad or overused artwork, however a good plot can makeup for bad aesthetics.
An unoriginal plot line, which the protagonist may or may not make up for. A divergent story board is the most annoying thing in the world.
When the author kills off a beloved character unnecessarily.
The manga hasn't been updated in a long time or had been dropped I tend to not even bother picking it up.
All unacceptable in my book....

The most irritating plot device is a dumb and airheaded character having a dormant world-killing or the most powerful power/convenient plot device upgrade. WTF is this rubbish.
Then come school girls in shounen/some seinen who have stupidly large breasts. It's like the authors completely ignore what a real school girl looks like. Hell, I've never even seen a woman with such stupid proportions that are being drawn nowadays. It's ridiculous.

1) Shoujo + Harems: Read GE and SOME Kimi no Iru Machi, simply annoying. Plot dissapears, guy character goes from girl to girl and doesn't realize that the girl beside him is the best one. F*** it.
2) Bonerkillers (as someone previously mentioned), A.K.A Hiatus, neverending Hiatus.
3) Yaoi // Yuri // Shoujo-Ai // Shounen-Ai // Smut // Most Tragedy tags. Sadness power over 9000.
4) Though my reading/complete lists have tonz of titles with Ecchi // Over-sized Boobs I still hate them.
5) Huge waiting periods for next chapter. YES MIURA Kentaro I'M TALKING TO YOU AND YOUR Berserk.
6) When you find a good/interesting plot, be it Shoujo, and when it reaches certain popularity, plot dissapears into thin air like Naruto's Kagebunshin No Jutsu. YES KOMI Naoshi I'M TALKING TO YOU AND YOUR Nisekoi. Yes plot dissapeared, there is a new girl every 20chapters, deal with the truth.
7) When the manga that's over 300 chapter and has SOME Romance possible that might end up with 2 characters dating // becoming a couple ENDS UP F****** NOWHERE. YES AMANO Akira I'M TALKING TO YOU AND YOUR Kateikyoushi Hitman Reborn!
That's about it probably. Yes Caps are R A G E.

Bad/ugly art
Bad/nonsensical plot
Annoying stereotypical characters
Character template (one face + slightly different hairstyle for many characters)
Overly big eyes
Cerebus effect
... or when plot is lost and the manga becomes an Ecchi-fest
Repeating content
Looong filler arcs
Bad translation
Sloooow updates
Illogical/unrealistic character decisions/actions (mostly due to obvious forcing of the plot)
Introduction of certain plot-devices. i.e. some tragic event (like rape) 'just because'
Sadistic comedy (slapstick), imo almost never funny or entertaining, especially if it's an overreaction and/or undeserved.
etc. etc.

Rushed or Axed.
Hiatus.
Anytime an author stop working on one manga that's barely mid-way into the story, but continue to make other new mangas
The Abusive Tsundere, that beats up the MC for no reason.
Overused Tsunderes.
Harems not having a harem ending.

Worst is bad art. If a manga is not visually appealing I will not bother reading it at all.
Plot being too clichéd ("Our bonds give us power").
Too much fanservice. It just leaves the impression the artist wants to cover up the bad plot.

I drop a manga whenever the protagonist (esp if male) can't overcome his own problems and the problems always resurfaces throughout the series..

So I'm watching episode 4 of Accel World, and right at the beginning, it's a dream sequence. No, I don't mind dream sequences, BUT, and this is a pretty big BUT, WHY in the HELL is the protaginist, EVEN IN HIS DREAMS - HIS. FUCKING. DREAMS. - SCREAMING, CLAWING AT THE FLOOR TO ESCAPE when confronted with female attention!?
His dreams!
I mean, EXCUSE ME!? You're dreaming! Who cares!? Is this REALLY how men think!? Is this how ANYBODY thinks!?
"Hmmm... this is a dream. These girls I like are seriously coming on to me within this dream... Hmmm, what to do, what to do... Ah! I got it!
*breaths in*
AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! HELP!!!!! HELP ME ESCAPE FROM THESE BISHOUJO I'M FUCKING DREAMING ABOUT BECAUSE... BECAUSE... I DON'T KNOW WHY!!!!!!!!!!"
Oh, cut the bullshit! I'm already pushing the limit on what I can tolerate when the male protagonist starts screaming as if his damn life depended on it when he, by accident or otherwise, sees a naked girl, but now he's even doing it in his DREAMS!?
Naw, naw, naw... sorry Accel World, I'm out. That's the limit, right there. Sure, it might actually make sense that Haru would dream that way, that is, if the dream was lucid, because he hates himself so much, but I dunno...
It's just, too stupid for me.
I can choke down things like Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo where Sorata, more often than not, belligerently screams like he's being raped with a knife when he sees Shina naked. Why? I dunno, maybe because Shina's reaction is so damn flippant that it balances out Sorata's outrageous reaction? Whatever the case, I just... can't deal with it when the protagonist has no balls, all the way to the point that he's even neutered himself in his dreams.
His dreams!
