I've started reading Love Hina.  It's pretty good, though I really can't imagine reading all of it.  Like Korean melodramas that last 100 episodes, a lot of long-running sit-com manga just runs back over its self on a continuous basis.  I'll read until it hits the part where the mangaka is obviously thinking "this is longer than I planned and I don't know what to do next".

I also need to catch back up with Himegoto - Juukyuusai no Seifuku.  It wasn't updated for awhile so I fell out of it but now I see that new chapters are coming out quickly.  It's really interesting.  It deals with--maybe identity disorder is the right term?  The main character has been a tomboy all her life, to the point that she doesn't even know how to act like a girl.  Now, in the first year of college, she wants to try but she lacks confidence and her friend continues to tease her about "really being a guy", which is like a knife to her self-esteem.  She ends up meeting other people who, though they seem outwardly more "together" than she is, also struggle with who they are, including very self-destructive behavior.

It's adult, and mostly serious, and does have nudity and sex.  Crossdressing, same-sex relationships, and prostitution are also part of the story.  It's about people who are really mixed up and it's not always pretty.
