Recommend a couple, eh? Well, here's a few, the descriptions, and the link to them over on Manga Updates:

Asuka Hybrid:

Quote:
 
Asuka transfers to a dormitory, but after meeting his roommate, Asuka realises that someone must have confused his gender and assigned him to the women's dormitory. Asuka's roommate, Yayoi, says that there's no problem with Asuka living in the women's dormitory and quickly brings out complementary articles of clothing so that Asuka can crossdress.

Outside in a park, Asuka bemoans his current state of affairs until some weirdly-dressed woman appears, and after listening to Asuka's plight about being assigned to the wrong dormitory, the mysterious women decides to fix things by transforming Asuka into a girl before running off. Yayoi appears and finds the newly changed Asuka, he explains to Yayoi what happened, and Yayoi believes everything and points out that now there is no problem with Asuka living in the women's dormitory.

Later, in the dormitory, Asuka discovering the good things and bad things of being a girl ; enters the bathroom while Yayoi is taking a shower and finds out that Yayoi is really a guy. Though, to be clear, Yayoi explains that he isn't crossdressing but rather wearing his uniform. Asuka then becomes worried about being in the same room as Yayoi, but Yayoi is interested in nothing but hot bishounen.

So now Asuka is living in the women's dormitory while trying to find the mysterious woman again so that Asuka can change back to normal with the help of Yayoi who, of course, has an ulterior motive for helping Asuka.




Shoujo Shounen:

Akira is a cute jr. high school boy who has a great singing voice that his sister is always raving about. She thinks his voice sounds like an angel's and in a truly sister-like fashion, she plots to get her younger brother into a dress and wig so she can see him look like an angel while he sings too ^_^ So at home one day after school, she gets Akira to sing karaoke, and then dresses him up in a frilly dress and a wig of long hair!

Nearby, a talent scout hears a beautiful clear voice. He follows the sound and can hear Akira's singing coming out of Akira's house. He is thrilled to see the voice belongs to the girl in the cute dress. But Akira tears the wig off and insists that he is a boy. After a moment of thought, the talent scout begs to recruit akira to be the next new FEMALE idol singing sensation! Akira refuses at first, but finally relents when he realizes he may get the chance to meet Ruri, a currently popular female idol singer. And thus "Mizuki" is born, the angelic new GIRL idol singer! Watch the fun as Akira attempts to be a female idol, and is surrounded by girls who like him or hate him in his various identities!

Hmm...... Bleach? I don't like the pairings there, though.

Bleach anyone? I don't remember exactly how I got into the anime...( It want anime, then manga) but, nowadays, it's my favorite. (FAIL.)

Wells, if you're looking for a diverse cast, somewhat illogical battle scenes, sword fighting, annoying fillers ( Anime only! :D) and suspense, then you have picked up the right manga.

Enjoy! And remember, Espada ftw.

Can it be that I am in fact your friend? Heh. Who else loves the Espada besides me?

Saaaaaaay.

Well. Maybe...I think I know who you are. *whispers*
Emberflame? :D

Out of all the ones I've read, the only ones that stick with me is the Phoenix series (by Tezuka), and Fruit Basket. xDD I want to read Akira, next.

I agree with Silver - Fruits Basket is really good. Shojo, comedy/romance, with a pinch of fantasy and some very dark bits in it. It's about a girl called Tohru, who accidentally walks into the Sohma household and discovers that the family is cursed by the spirits of the Zodiac...
...basically, it's about breaking the curse. It really stays with you when you've finished reading it...

Another manga I'd recommend if you just want a nice, easy read is +Anima. It's a very sweet shonen manga about four children who are +Anima - they have the spirit of an animal inside them that allows them to have animal characteristics if they so choose (eg Crow +Anima could mean you have wings, bear +Anima means you may have claws). +Anima aren't particularly liked in their society, so they have to move around all the time, and the series is basically about all their adventures. You don't realise until the very end how bittersweet it is....

For those of you into more...gory, adventurey manga, I'd say you might like Claymore. It's set in a fantasy world where creatures called yoma prey on humans. The only ones capable of destroying the yoma are women from the Organisation, known as Claymores because of their swords. The Claymores are actually half-human, half-yoma - they have yoma flesh and blood put into their bodies to give them better strength. It doesn't sound that good at first, but I got hooked on it for some inexplicable reason... maybe you guys will, too.

Yeah, I've heard of "Fruit Basket" before since my school library has it. Kind of piqued my interest, but I was confused because on every cover, there is always a different character or something. I'm not really planning on reading it right now.

What is "Fruit Basket" about anyway?
