I've tried so many mangas but I just haven't gotten hooked on any lately.

I'm more of a sucker for shounen manga/ but the occasional shoujo is okay too.
I really liked Bakuman, but that has finished.
I'm currently reading Noblesse, One Piece, Girls of the Wild's, Shibatora and a couple others


I'm also a sucker for Skip Beat as a a shoujo.

Also /weird anatomy, stiff characters, or all in all super shoujo sparkly eyed charactered manga is kinda a turnoff.

Any suggestions?

Well... this might be a little random, but you might enjoy Eternal Sabbath. At the very least, it might prove to be a little something different.

I second Green Boy (IM Jin-gook), especially since you like Girls of The Wild's

Shounen (some of those might be senien):
Classmate, Kamimura Yuuka wa Kou Itta.
Fujimura-kun Meitsu
Gan-Kon
Hito Hitori Futari
Kaibutsu Oujo - unlike the anime, the manga is quite good. If you won't like it after the first chapter I recommend reading a few more before dropping.
Kandachime - kind of generic, but you can give it a try if you feel like it
Kiba no Tabishounin - The Arms Peddler - so awesome
Ashita Dorobou - has some minor mature parts, but it's quite awesome
Blood Lad
Koi Neko - rather funny
Kurogane (IKEZAWA Haruto) - somewhat like Green Boy
Magico (IWAMOTO Naoki)
Otoyomegatari
Pumpkin Scissors - or try the anime
Ratman
Rising Impact - too bad there is only a handful of chapters translated
Silver Spoon
Suashi no Meteorite - so awesome
Tasogare Otome x Amnesia - if you're ok with something more ecchi
Change 2! and W Change!!
Witchcraft Works
Zeroin - this one is highly recommended
Maoyuu Maou Yuusha - Kono Watashi no Mono Tonare, Yuusha yo Kotowaru
Superior
Unbalance x 2
Kamisama Damono
Gokusen
Dageki Joi Saori
Karin
Toradora! - or try the anime
Hoshi no Samidare
Zippy Ziggy
She's Gon
second Yanki-kun to Megane-chan

Shoujo:
Meteor Methuselah - reads very much like shounen though
Please Save My Earth
Dengeki Daisy
Kaichou wa Maid-sama!
Dear mine
Bitou Lollipop - the art is weird, but the story is good, give it a try
Gokusen - that one is a josei, but it's really good
Beast Master
Kamisama Hajimemashita - a bit generic, but still pleasant read
Oresama Teacher
Otomen - tough I only read one chapter...

I hope that at least one of those will spark your interest.
I omitted some series that have a bit more gore and ecchi, but if you're ok with those I can post a few decent ones.

As usual - The first one that comes to mind these days, if it's about favourites and such, it's for me Gangsta., but it's tagged as "Seinen". However, maybe you want to give it a try? Also, there are some others, which have been worth the while, if you haven't already seen them ...

* Yanki-kun to Megane-chan
* Kiben Gakuha, Yotsuya Senpai no Kaidan
* Cerberus Jam
* I-Revo
* Time Killers
* Blood+

And, those following, but I'm not too sure, since they are mostly still on my wish... ^^"

* Again!!
* Busta!
* Kimi to Boku.
* SWOT
* XBlade
* Haikyu!!
* Sayonara Zetsubou-Sensei
* Shinobi no Kuni

Alaena Night;; that one looks really interesting! I'll have a go at it!

jedinat;; I've read all of those //shotdead

lust9; Oh! I like that one actually/ never got around to getting up to the most recent chapter though.

jahu; I really like green boy. /hate waiting for new chapters to come out XD
I've read a lot on your list actually
Although these look really interesting - Kiba no Tabishounin - The Arms Peddler; Zeroin, Hito Hitori Futari, Meteor Methuselah
I think all the others I've read a good amount into/ either put it on hold or dropped for some reason or another. Or completed XD. I know I finished gokusen, for all its weird art and stuff. It was a fun read. Superior is absolutely gorgeous, so maybe I should pick it up again. I think I got really far into it, but I don't entirely remember why i stopped.

Yankee-chan: Oh Gangsta. looks good! I'll definitely give it a shot. Kiben Gakuha, Yotsuya Senpai no Kaidan looks good as well. I read I-revo, but the manga's been discontinued ;__; because some copyright reason or something, but it was definitely an enjoyable read. I haven't read Time Killers either but it looks good. SWOT was pretty interesting too, as was XBlade. I think the others I've touched on
