i'm am so spoiled i can't just read average manga anymore. Hani-Kimi has spoiled shoujo for me and Let Dai has ruined all other shounen ai for even my yaoi has been tainted by the shadow of Totally Captivated 😔
I am in desperate need of a totally awesome manga that will captivate me and make me want to keep reading....something reaaally long at least 8 to 20 chapters...and yes i am already reading wallflower 🙂

Could you give some details about the characteristics you are want and don't want in a manga? And do they have to be shoujo, shounen-ai or yaoi?

Or you could just do a search for long manga threads or find those shounen-ai threads in the yaoi/yuri section that contain long shounen-ai recommendations.

Hmm...I don´t understand what u really want, but these are few of those manga which I really like...I mean that I didn´t feel like "Oh gosh...I guess I´ll drop it..."
shoujo/josei:
Red River
100% perfect girl
Chiro Star Project
Kindan no Koi de Ikou
Midnight Secretary
Shinobi Life
The Bride of the Water God
The One
Ayashi no Ceres
Can't Lose You
W Juliet
Mars
Kare Kano
Ciel
Meteor Methuselah
Gokusen

shounen/seinen:
Id
Blood+
Ga-rei
Pandora Hearts
Saver
Superior
Threads of Time
Immortal Regis
Psyren
Vampire Juujikai
XBlade
Code:Breaker
Rozen Maiden
And for shounen-ai/yaoi...maybe You're my loveprize in Viewfinder or Koi wo Suru...
It would be better if you made your lists public so we can see what genres you like and what you´ve already read...Because there are few series which are really famous (I guess that almost everyone knows them, like...for example Bleach or Nodame Cantabile...) and I don´t whether I should write them or you´ve already read them.... 🙂

I don't read a lot of shounen, seinen, shounen-ai or yaoi but I do read alot of shojo and josei. I have to agree with alot of same mangas that weronique mentioned.
Some that I have and or like are:
Mars (my all time favorite)
From Far Away
Red River
Fushigi Yuugi The Mysterious Play
Hot Gimmick
Angel Sanctuary
Ceres Celestial Legend
Immortal Rain
Skip Beat (a lot of people seem to like it)
Kare Kano
Midnight Secretary
Marmalade Boy
Vampire Knight (a lot of people seem to like it)
Tramps like Us
Kodocha
Peach Girl

I gave the names that you'll see in the book store or American names. These are just some that I can think of but bought/read most of my comics around 5 or 6 years ago, so there going to be a little older and these all of these have 8 or more volumes.

Berserk So Awesome... So long. I made one of my buddies read this, one who was mainly a shoujo reader, and she couldn't put it down. 😀

Glass Mask and Skip Beat! are defiantly some of the best shoujo manga out there.

Also, Tokyo Crazy Paradise isn't very long, but its pretty awesome.

Nana - most awesome shoujo romance. It's quite popular and you might have read it. I am usually not a shoujo romance fan but like it
Gunslinger Girl - I would recommend it. Even if you are not an action/sci-fi fan, it will probably captivate you.

And this thread is suitable for you: some good AND long shounen ai mangas

I'm totally going through that right now. No more average / okay manga for me!

A lot of people like sap and this one is all sap.
