Hey guys!
With exams being finally over, I finally got some free time and how do I spend it? Of course by reading manga since I got no life XD
Anyways, I've ran out of the manga that interest me yet again so yeah...need you dear otaku's help again :3
I'm not looking for anything specific this time, just something that gets me into it fast and is not episodic. As for episodic, I don't mean just one-shots. Like I count Iris Zero as episodic too, since new things happen in each arc. I want the story to be connected to each other and one thing leads to the other and...you just couldn't let it go biggrin
As for the genres, I like action, seinen, mystery and comedy. Pretty much everything is ok as long as there's no harem, ecchi or romance. If the romance is the sub-plot that would be ok also. I tend to avoid shoujo and josei cause of the annoying characters, but if there's some masterpiece hidden out there please do mention it. Oh and if the main character is a guy, that would be a lot better.
Of course, I want decent art so...yeah, no old manga bigrazz

Thanks in advance everyone biggrin

Oyasumi Punpun - tragic, but quitely comedic
Hoshi no Samidare - great characters
Hagane no Renkinjutsushi - brilliant plot
The Breaker - pretty art
Beck - realistic characters
One Outs - intricate mind games
Holyland - engaging fights

all completed

no romance makes it difficult for me to answer...
well anyways:
try Yumekui Merry for awesome character design and nice plot, even the typical shounen cliches (this is seinen though) are handled so well, that you don't even notice sometimes.

Hoshi no Samidare & Sengoku Youko romance is subplot in both but the plot is unique and great

Spirit Circle again the same author as the two above, well again unique and great plot, this mangaka is just that good

Bokura no Kiseki -it is a shoujo but it has a male MC and the romance is a subplot, the characters are really great in this one but a lot of people don't like it much because it is kind of wordy. and although it doesn't have much comedy in it, it does have some action.

Chang Ge Xing -i don't think people can decide if this one is seinen or shoujo because it has both genres on it. but anyway this one is mainly about her getting revenge on the people that killed her family. no male MC in this one but she is not a typical female lead, plus the art is pretty in this one bigrazz

as for comedy you should check out Ties of Compassion, its a webtoon that i have recently discovered that i loved, it has a little romance in it but its mostly about friendship and comedy.

i know not a lot of people dont read novels but ill suggest one anyway
Rakuin no Monshou (Novel) is a novel that i can not get enough of, it has no comedy in it and has a very serious feeling to it, but that is what i love about it. its about a boy that had his family taken by his own country and disguises himself as the countries prince to get revenge. though im warning, with its deep plot and characters its not a very light read.

Ok so for the suggestions so far:
I've finished The Breaker and loved it....the ending though, was so frustrating. Right now, I'm reading the sequel.
Currently reading Holy Land, but it's just the type of manga where you can't read all at once if you know what I mean wink
Watched Beck and Full Metal Alchemist, and being super duper honest, they're some of the best things I've ever watched.
Already reading Tokyo Ghoul and loving it. The gore *o*

Oh oh oh, I looooove reading novels. Haven't really read any Japanese novels except for BL ones so this is gonna be new, and since it's psychological and deep, I'm probably gonna love it. I just crave for these kind of things biggrin

Thanks everyone, will look through each and every one of recommendations ^.^

Onepunch-Man A nice take on super heroes. Plenty of action and humor.

Vinland Saga Very good action manga in historical setting, focused on vikings. Reminds me a little of the 1st arc of Berserk before all the fantasy/horror elements showed up.

20 Seiki Shounen and its sequel 21 Seiki Shounen. You like mystery huh ? Then it's a must read. Also check other works by URASAWA Naoki like Pluto or Monster, they are pretty good too.

Vagabond Follows the life of Miyamoto Musashi, the most famous samurai and sword saint ever. Very gritty, superb art.

Shi ga Futari o Wakatsu Made Modern take on the Zatoichi (blind swordsman). Pretty cool manga, with great action scenes and the MC is badass.

GUNNM and its sequel GUNNM: Last Order Female lead but honestly you should check them anyways. One of the best mangas with a cyberpunk setting.

Zetman Another take on the super hero trope but this one is pretty dark.

Drifters Take some badasses from various time periods (samurais, japanese warlord, roman generals, modern soldiers, etc..), mix them in a fantasy setting complete with magic and elves, shake it up and you get Drifters.
