My top seinen is still Bitter Virgin right now.
I admit to not having read a lot of seinen yet, though.

Erm... I feel kind of lazy to name all the seinen I like...
I'll try though.

Those are the ones that I'm more fond of, from the other seinen titles in my lists.
(order doesn't really matter)

Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou
Yotsubato!
Vinland Saga
Berserk
Iryuu - Team Medical Dragon
Blood Alone
My Girl (SAHARA Mizu)
Bus Hashiru
Nanairo Sekai
Hourou Musuko
Hoshi no Koe
Eden
Endo Short Stories the god one was just so great...
Emma + sequell which is great. (Emma Bangaihen)
Otoyomegatari only one chapter, but damn...
Homunculus
Blame!
Chokotto Sister
Kiseijuu
Nijigahara Holograph
Ichi the Killer
PositioN
Majo

Mmmm... I've probably missed some....

I don't know if I watched/read too many of these days but the ones that have and are to my knowledge definitively identified as seinen are among my favorites...

  1. Mushishi (perfection in every sense of the word)
  2. Moyashimon (funny, odd, slice-of-life)
  3. xXxholic (mysterious, magical...although the latter manga chapters have started to grate on my nerves a bit on account of the usual CLAMP cliches)

I'm pretty sure from the lists I've seen, Shin Angyo Onshi, Tenjou Tenge, Skyhigh, Alive, Ubel Blatt, and Gantz can be added to the popular list.Those are my favorites, but I hope these others add to the lists of others:
1.Bestia(be warned, i've only seen the first 3 chapters.hoping for more)
2.Kanokon(in my top 20, but most of the top are taken)
3.Nana to Kaoru (hilarious circumstances, but it has started to develop lately)
4.Mysterious Girlfriend X (similar to the last one, but takes it way further)
5.Sundome(same as Nana to Kaoru, but the roles are reversed)
6.Yakuza Girl(although its over, it was a great series.)

What I love about seinen is the thought provoking ideals and complex characters. You always have to be on the alert for ulterior motive, just like in real life. I hate the 2D characters in Shounen, they always only have one goal(which they tell you) which leaves you unprepared for the complexities of real life.

Why isn't Japan Tengu Party Illustrated in anyone's top ten?
one of the best manga I've ever read...

otherwise I would be like, 20th Century Boys, Vinland Saga, Berserk, Planetes, Blame, Blade of the Immortal, Mushishi etc... but then everyone knows they're good. Must get around to reading Monster..

Akira is probably seinen isn't it?

Also things like Gyo, which is horror but probably targeted at Seinen readership..
