Hi!
I'd make me very happy if someone could recommend me, as the topic suggests, a new-ish shounen (or seinen) manga to read. I stopped reading manga a few years ago due to crazy Uni schedule and now that I have the time again, I have no idea where to even start, there are so many new series...
Mangas I loved in the past:
Fullmetal Alchemist
Pandora Hearts
Gunnm
Death Note
Hikaru no Go
Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle
Mirai Nikki
Saiyuki
Ito Junji's works
So basically, adventure and supernatural elements with a touch of creepy
Thanks in advance!

Tower of God One of the best story manga out there. (Don't let starting deceive you).
Noblesse Free of shonen cliches. A great read.....Starting is somewhat weird in both terms of art & story so please bear with that. (I would suggest you to read this in one-strip format for best experience .... check it out on Batoto.net or egscans.com )
Akame ga Kiru! Another one of the best shonen out there.
Feng Shen Ji A great read.....A mix between shonen and seinen

These series are from 2008 onwards:
Gate 7: I see you like Tsubasa, so maybe you want to try newest piece by Clamp. Unlike other Clamp series, it's rather slow paced but still interesting IMO.
Shuumatsu no Laughter: mini series by Tanabe Yellow, only 5 chapters long.
Zetsuen no Tempest
Arthur Pyuty wa Yoru no Majo
Pre-2008, but the scanlation just started around 1-2 years ago:
Jin
Verdant Lord

In my head Magi is the spiritual successor to FMA, since it's probably the only ongoing typical shounen that I like. Much better than the most popular shounens, as the rating suggest it. I strongly recommend it.
Also, these are some of my favorites:
Other shounen:
Chrno Crusade
Vampire Juujikai
Ares
Other seinen:
Shin Angyo Onshi
Elfen Lied
Ookami to Koushinryou if you want an excellent seinen more dialogue driven than plot driven.
Vinland Saga
I realized that beside Magi they're not very recent, but still maybe you missed some of them. :=)

Shingeki no Kyojin of course
Really awesome at first... becomes convoluted and crappy IIRC...
