I'll throw mine into the ring...

Ranma 1/2 (Classic, plenty of action and slapstick)
Negima (Harry Potter with slapstick and boobs aplenty)
Eiken (Borderline hentai, but there's no actual nudity and it's completely outrageous and funny)
Battle Royale (Classic, action-packed and very emotional)
"I just followed standard video game logic and assumed that the weapon made of gold was the most powerful."

My recommendations on series' that I enjoy and I think are under-appreciated by the more casual to avid manga readers.

-Beelzebub
>A bit strange at first glance, but once you read for a while it's likely that you may start to like some of the characters. It's may not be all that interesting at first, but if you can brave through a couple of chapters, you'll reach something good. Later on, you may need to brave through some rather uninteresting chapters, but it'll be worth it.

-Kamisama Hajimemashita (Translated and published by Shoujo Beat as 'Kamisama Kiss'.)
>It's a very sweet and enjoyable supernatural, romance shoujo manga. If you've read Black Bird, well. I'll tell you now, that series got awfully boring/over-dramatic. So I stopped and when it comes to good supernatural, romance shoujo manga, if you use Black Bird as a base, well, Kamisama Hajimemashita has kicked it into a muddy ditch...in my dreams.

-Noblesse
>This is a webtoon. Webtoons are Korean web comics (Oh dear lord! I mentioned Korean comics/manhwa when the other recommendations are all manga. How dare I~. 8-) ) that follows a certain style. (Like manga does in it's artwork, reading order, page design, and such.) Once you start reading this, you will not be able to stop. The characters are really enjoyable; almost every character has caused me to laugh more than once. There is never a dull chapter that you have to force yourself to read. The fight scenes are spaced very nicely. The series features mutated human beings and a mythical race that are superior to vampires.
I highly, highly, highly suggest reading this to you.

...I may post more recommendations later on if I feel like it. ;)

I really like Ao no exorcist, but this is one of the vary few I'm watching so if I end up reading it, I most likely won't watch it.
