EDIT: Bitter Virgin is a good seinen. I don't remember anything that says it's not modern day.
If you've ever thought or said "Nice Guys finish last" and really meant it, then you should probably read this LJ post by DivaLion. It's incredibly insightful whether you're male or female.
From a bumper sticker I like:
"If you're gonna ride my ass, at least pull my hair."
Psyren - Definetly set in modern day~
Bleach - You've prolly heard of this
Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro - Hilarious. Set in modern day.
Reborn! (Get past the first uhm, 80 chapters and then the plot gets going~)
Rosario+Vampire - If you can bare through the ecchi.
Veritas - Lots o fighting~

ummm...
black lagoon
gantz but maybe not, i dunno...
ubel blatt but thats more like berserk and not modern
but it is fantasy/supernatural and seinen
Anima Cal Livs but ive barely read any so i have no idea...
chobits but not so much fantasy/supernatural, more sci-fi
dance in the vampire bund if you can handle the fanservice
elfen leid but once again more sci-fi (sorta supernatural)
priest i guess
Shin Angyo Onshi is really good
vampire hunter d is not quite modern day but...
you can just narrow the search for the genres you like:
for shounen, fantasy, and supernatural, disincluding historical:

likewise for seinen:

best of luck!

Here's some seinen
Kaijuu no Kodomo more modern then supernatural in this one, but it's an incredible manga.
Witches another fantastic manga from the same mangaka as the above.
Parasyte its technically sci fi but if you pretend the aliens are magical creatures it should all work out.
Inugami its like Parasyte except you it actually does have magical creatures.

Hyakki Yakoushou This one is josei.
