Well, I've noticed I put a lot of things that look interesting on my wish list. And then, I never read them. Ever.

Lets solve that.

I've made my reading and wish list public, see anything on my wish list you feel I should be reading? Or see something on my wish list that you hated and feel I shouldn't bother with?

All suggestions welcome, the only thing is I currently have "Tsukihime" and "Fate/Stay Night" on my wish list. Please do not suggest reading or dropping those two manga, as I've already beaten the visual novels and do not plan on reading them any time soon. I just like having them on there as a reminder.

Also I'd rather your suggestions come from my wishlist, but if you feel there's something truely amazing that isn't on my wishlist but fits my tastes, feel free to suggest it (But to avoid this turning into a topic that only increases my wish list's size, please avoid too many of these).

Thanks for any help!

I second Chain Saw Edge, Pretty Face, and Elfen Lied.

Other things I reccomend on your wishlist:
Koe de Oshigoto! funny, but rather mature ecchi
Yanki-kun to Megane-chan definite read
Hayate the Combat Butler very funny, but cliche shounen humor 😀
Half & Half Sweet, cute oneshot

Drop:

Shoujo Sect- Unless you're new to yuri you're not going to see much here you haven't seen before.. I read a bit and it felt just typical and rushed.
Yanki-kun to Megane-chan- It's interesting at first, but it gets old after a while. I finished the 1st volume and I'm not going to continue. It's mildly amusing overall but not really worth it.
Negative Happy Chain Saw Edge- What a waste of a cool title D: It's name might be unique but the story is nothing you haven't seen before. It has a fairly high rating on the site though, and some of the reviews surprised me, so maybe I'm missing something good about it XD

Read:

Undercurrent- Although I'm behind on this, I've enjoyed it so far, it's quite peaceful and I like the theme of water.
Doubt- It's thrilling and scary, just don't read it in the dark if you get creeped out easily like me >_<
Tropical Citron- Rather confusing, but also amazing.. a little depressing too sometimes though.
Shamo- I'm not into martial arts manga, but this is great. It's dark, serious, and dramatic.
Ressentiment- Depressing.. but the little girl is cute :3 I also like a protagonist who isn't handsome and sexy. It's refreshing to see a non-model leading character sometimes.
Himizu- I think by now you get the feeling I like depressing manga.. well this one is too ^^; I read it a while ago, so I can't remember much, but it's good, give it a try.

Yotsuba&! -- That's definitely a keeper. The premise sounds simple, but it's extremely well done (in a different league from the typically saccharine sweet, overly sentimental mangas that involve small children). I've never read anything that gives me as big of a morale boost as that manga. 😀 The 500+ people who gave it an average 8.9 rating aren't wrong. 🙂

Thanks for the suggestions guys, and please keep them coming.

And Odette, don't worry, that's on my reading list so it's safe. It's also one of my favorites.

And everyone else I realize my wish list is tiny compared to yours. But man, I swear, it morphs. Every day it gets larger without me even realizing it. Gotta start clipping it soon.

I'll start going over/reading/replying to the suggestions soon but keep them coming. I'll most likely bump this topic in the future when I'm done reading what you guys suggest, as I'm sure my wish list will get bigger. Thanks everyone!

Read these immediately:
Gunslinger Girl - amazing, emotional manga.
Shoujo Sect - high quality, enjoyable yuri hentai series
Hoshi no Samidare - inventive, amusing.

Read these also, but more leisurely:
Dame Ningen Jan - hot yuri hentai; only two chapters.
Sugar wa Otoshigoro - interestign and unique light shoujo-ai series
CAT - very high quality despite being painfully incomplete
Negative Happy Chainsaw Edge - unique.
Dogs - a fairly entertaining short series.
