You may want to give explanations why you like those books, before a moderator swoops in and tells you that you have to, according to the rules, to keep this from becoming a list post.

Anyway, I love Dramacon as well, I find it hilarious and I've had the opportunity to meet Svetlana and she is so nice and funny too. As far as comedy manga goes, Dramacon is my favourite because it is set in my own culture and thus I get the jokes without them being adapted/explained.

I also enjoy Welcome to the NHK! quite a bit too, it's one of two Tokyopop titles that I'm collecting right now (the other being Suppli, which I guess I might not be collecting any more after all Sad). I think overall I actually like the anime better, but the manga is still pretty good, it's a very interesting look into the lives of some very messed up people.

Chobits was my favourite CLAMP manga until I picked up xxxHolic, so it has a special place in my heart (though on re-reading it I decided that there are some superfluous plot elements at the end. I would have preferred them to just stick with Chi and Hideki instead of adding too much else going on). I'm also a fan of RG Veda and Tokyo Babylon, though I actually forgot that TokyoPop did those (it's hard to keep track of who is publishing CLAMP, since it's not just one publisher...this seems a bit more common of late, with Fuyumi Soryo's work and Ai Yazawa's as well).

Finally, Mars was one of my first manga and I still just adore it (and the live action based on it, which IMO is actually a bit better). It's a wonderful mix of cuteness and angst and angst and some more angst Razz

One of my favorite reads is "Teh Rules". Here's a snippet:

Best seller if ever there was one. Unfortunately since this thread was opened with nothing more than a list then its fate is sealed. Remember, threads are present to initiate discussion, just throwing out a list does not promote discussion.
