Bradherley no Basha tragic shoujo (?), not work safe
Ludwig Revolution generally subverts/inverts clichés, the one that's played straight is Handsome lech+Straight edge servant
Cesare is a historical manga, one glaring cliché is genius country bumpkin, but that's easily ignored, based on history (the mangaka is working w/an european historian)
Freesia is generally cliché free except for one glaring one

choku! is pretty subverted.
Angel Densetsu is hilarious, and a subversion of battle manga and average guy in the wrong place.

No one's mentioned Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer yet?
Try it, it's great. One of the only manga that's completely surprised me. Most manga that have surprised me, I at least expected to be surprised given the nature of the story. This one though, I went into expecting a fairly generic shounen only to be presented with a manga that gradually but completely subverted all the typical cliches in a thoroughly entertaining way.

Operation Liberate Men has gender roles so reversed that it cant be cliche (very interesting too)
Savage Garden
(both are shoujo)
Edit: Also After school nightmare is very unusual. Forgot about that one.

One name comes to mind;
Tezuka Osamu
Since he's the Father of Manga, you cannot call his works cliche, right?

Pretty much all of the Matsumoto Jiro works i guess
Though i must say this topic is kinda useless for people who are into manga and have some experience...all of u have read those...and everyone knows about those titles even without this topic-_-
U can just check every highly-popular manga and that would be it -_- Not that hard
And just for lulz...
Onani master - bullied girl cliche
Sundome - weak male lead,ill female lead
Mysterious girlfriend - pretty weak male lead,anrdoid-type female lead
Saru lock - perverted male lead
Cage of eden - strong male leader lead,battle-royal-like plot cliche\
Until death do us part is full of cliches too
and on and on...
I'm just messing with it ofc,but still ...the thing is - the other parts of the manga are compensating those cliches,and in the ecchi manga the thing that compensate it - are boobs,pantsu,harems and bit of a romance

I totally second Mushishi and Bakune Young! The former is mystically beautiful in terms of both art and story, while the latter is just...plain weird, but in a good way.
I feel that Tsumi to Batsu (OCHIAI Naoyuki) is going to be pretty un-cliche as well; but the scans are still at the beginning so I can't be 100% certain.
Anything by Matsumoto Taiyo and Furuya Usamaru can be considered fairly cliche-free, too.
Oh - and K no Souretsu and Goth are both rather odd and very much unlike the normal manga in their respective demographics.
If you don't mind anime, be sure to try out Mononoke and Mouryou no Hako. Both are very unique and interesting.
Edit - Forgot to add Discommunication Seireihen and Astral Project
