Memories of Emanon is a cool rear end one volume scifi manga.
Based on the award-winning novel by Shinji Kajio, Memories of Emanon tells the story of a mysterious girl who holds a 3-billion-year old memory, dating back to the moment life first appeared on Earth.

It's got a sequel too. http://www.batoto.net/comic/_/comics/wandering-emanon-r3796

Read Matsumoto Taiyou's manga. He covers a lot of different ground but they're all excellent stories with amazing art. You might like Takemitsu Zamurai.

Natsume Yujin-cho would work. City Hunter fits the bill too, but you probably wouldn't like it. Dirty Pair as well if you take an extremly broad view on the whole solving problems thing.

Ohh yeah you should check out Blackjack if you haven't already. Can't go wrong with Tezuka.

Yeah Lodoss is based on an actual d&d session the creators ran if I remember correctly.

I need more food manga in my diet. Food battle, food porn, food reactions, everything and anything.
Here's a list that I've already read so far, although I may have forgotten some:
Toriko (love the parts that focus on the food, fighting is lackluster)
Yakitate Japan
Shokugeki no Soma
Iron Wok Jan (although it's almost impossible to find this one anymore)

Writing that list down, I have come to realize that I require more food manga than I previously thought.

I will kill you dead if you don't read Cooking Papa right now. http://kissmanga.com/Manga/Cooking-Papa

Has anybody read Kingdom? It won this years Tezuka prize and I was wondering if its worth reading. Also dubs suck.

And on an unrelated note: Rose of Versailles. Is the manga or anime better? If they're on the same level I'd probably default to the latter because ~moving pictures~, but I want to be sure nothing got lost during adaptation.

They are both great but I'd say that the manga is better than the anime. You should really check out both versions.

I dislike manga and anime to a great degree, but I just read Azumanga Daioh and Yotsuba and those were just absolutely wonderful. Anything similiar out there? Nothing supernatural or high adventure, just fun stuff.

Try Yokohama Shopping Trip. http://www.batoto.net/comic/_/comics/yokohama-kaidashi-kikou-r1110

The Walking Man is also spectacular.

Another of my favourites. Another series with a dubious future in terms of translation. Ugh! The chapters that are translated are completely worth reading, however.

Actually there is no question about its translation since Viz is putting out the first volume on July first.

Sadly, I think you've tapped out good music anime with Beck & KotS. All that's left is mediocre idol stuff like Idolmaster & Love Live and moe slice of life like K-On. I guess some of the Macross stuff might count? The music in the Macross I've seen is peripheral to the plot but central to the themes.

There's nothing mediocre about Love Live
