My comic book store seems to come between Mekurats and Super rats (the two rats?)... it has a single display, quite small of graphic novels, plus a selection of new individual manga issues as well as some related magazines. However, you can orde through them - I finally got around to ordering Appleseed vol 2 and Blade of the Immortal 5 and 6, so I'll be very happy in 2 weeks when they arrive. After I finish what I'm reading know, I'll probably get some GTO... since Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon is relatively new I might just buy it now (depends how my wallet's doing). Thanks for the suggestion!
I forgot to include any online manga with my list. Megatokyo, of course (I actually just got the graphic novel), Under Power, Errant Story, Exploitation Now (waiting for that in print...stupid keenspot), Poison Wind, Tsunami Channel(which is kind of obvious is you go to the TsuChan forum, which is, in fact, hosted here... just scroll down the list). I can't think of any more right now, if you know any more, Beast, Higlander and Otaku (I think that was all that mentioned online manga) I'd like to know about them. The ones I mentioned are all excellent, and best of all they're FREE!!!! (sure, I still pay for them, but thats because they're so good)
Edit: yukito, I didn't see your sig before... got Duvet on my MD player, it really rocks!

Anyway...
El Hazard - funny, some cool action, but not as good as the others. Lacking in fanservice too.
Gunsmith Cats - having already read Cannon God Exxaxion, I knew what to expect from Sonoda - very accurate gun desciptions, and LOTS of fanservice. I wansn't dissapointed... damn cool action manga about two bounty hunters in chicago, one is a 19 year old girl likes guns and cars, the other an 18 year old girl who likes explosives and men.
3x3 Eyes - its... odd. A well balanced manga with lots of action, some fanservice, and some good humour too. Since there are a couple people here reading it, I was wondering how much is out, and wether its still being written.
Blood the Last Vampire 2002 - After Xeo's recommendation, how could I not buy it? Yes, there's fanservice galore (YURI!!!!), cool action, and unlike the movie actually goes somewhere... also helped explain some of the movie for me.
Didn't get GTO because my comic book store has all of it, so I'll wait on it... but now Bersek is finally being released in English, and it takes top priorioty.

If I'm not mistaken, the last chapter of 3x3 Eyes (a.k.a Sazan Eyes) had only been released last year or so. Since it's quite a long series, you get to see the art improve as well (I really like the cover illustrations). The plot twists quite alot in the first couple of volumes. Yakumo slowly progresses to not getting himself mauled often too ^^;;
There are 2 anime OVAs based on it... but those only cover the first couple of volumes.

It was a lot of fun. ^-^

Well, first it was supposed to come out last christmas, then Poe said late february/early march... there haven't been any uptadates lately. However, I already paid for my limited edition hard cover copy... no, that wasn't very kind to my wallet, but Exploitation Now was one of my fav webcomics.
There are 2 anime OVAs based on it... but those only cover the first couple of volumes.
less mauling? but thats the best part... I especially liked how his idea of stopping a police car was jumping into it.
Actually, its seven OVAs, split into two series. I actually have both OVA series, just haven't gotten around to watching them yet. I heard the first is supposed to be decent, the second a little better.
Did someone mention Warmth?!? Where did you get a hold of Warmth?
Oh yeah, and my local comic book store called today, saying that my Blade of the Immortal: On Silent Wings 1&2 were in... haven't read 'em yet, but they look really good. Lets just say, though, that I'm not looking forward to my next credit card bill.

X1999 (I have three more volumes and I'm done with the series thus far)
Tokyo Babylon (MY FAVORITE! I just need to get tankouban six)
HunterXHunter (I love it!)
Hikaru No Go (They're all so adorable! Well, except Akari, that is -_-;; )
Chobits
Gouhou Drug
Those are just the ones I'm reading currently, though...
Kiryuu- You really should read Tokyo Babylon, it's AMAZING.
Mekurat- Really? It's that understocked? My Borders is fine, but then again it's the world headquarters _-_;;
