Good Manga?

So I'm looking for some good manga. Tried searching to see if there were any past threads but every time I search I get an error message.
I like stuff that is somewhat serious and mature to very serious and mature. No gag/kid oriented stuff.
I like Bakuman but it seems aimed at just a little younger of an audience. And I liked the anime of Planetes but haven't found the manga anywhere. Death Note was pretty good.

I'm going to be really lazy here.... cuz I canz search....
GUNNM ~ KISHIRO Yukito [Also known as Battle Angel Alita]: This is what got me hooked, This is the shit! Post-apocalyptic earth, Cyber Punk, Si-Fi, martial arts, awsomeness!
Koukaku Kidoutai ~ SHIROW Masamune [also known as Ghost in the shell
] Cyber Punk, Si-Fi, Cyber Punk post WW3, Cyber Punk, Cyber Punk. If you have watched the anime [and you all should, right now!, yes stop what you are doing and go watch it!] the manga will blow your mind.. not at first but it will when you realize it's all in there...
Elfen Lied ~ OKAMOTO Lynn: Si-fi, horror-ish great mix of dark and light sour and sweat moe and psychotic.
Hellsing ~ HIRANO Kouta: Vampires and Nazis do battle
Franken Fran ~ KIGITSU Katsuhisa: Horror, comedy. This alway makes me LOL hard, cool twisted shit!
Blue Drop [all series] ~ YOSHITOMI Akihito: Alien lesbians have taken over the earth... si-fi, yuri, post-apocalyptic earth...
Mirai Nikki ~ ESUNO Sakae: Horror, mindfuck, Parallel Universe, Play or Die Situation, Yandere. I find this very endearing.
Island ~ KOMI Naoshi: One shot, READ IT, post-apocalyptic earth type thing as well...
Goth ~ Otsuichi and OOIWA Kenji: Dark mystery type thing, really hart warming.
Yakuza Girl MASAKI Motonaga and YU-GO Okuma: Weird fucked up oddness... from what I remember...
Personant ~ KOMI Naoshi: post-apocalyptic earth type cyber puck like thing...
Nana to Kaoru ~ AMAZUME Ryuta: S&M
Black Lagoon ~ HIROE Rei : Do you like violence? one liners? then read this.
Nononono ~ OKAMOTO Lynn: Cross dressing girl wants to be a Olympic ski jumper...
Shitsurakuen ~ NAOMURA Tooru: do a search... I can't describe it, I don't even know why I really read it, but it is good...
Sundome ~ OKADA Kazuto: Domination/Subordination, lots of masturbation jokes... very perverted without crossing [much] into H... I don't know if I actually like it or not, it is a addictive read.

Thank you, but most of that seems like kind of the opposite of what I'm looking for. Not really into things that are odd for the sake of being odd, goofy, twisted, perverted, etc.

Solanin and Welcome to the NHK are my favorites. Ciguatera too but nobody except me knows about it.
Anything by Inio Asano is good. I really liked his short story collection called Before Dawn and the End of the World.

20th Century Boys is one of the best things I've ever read, book/manga/comic/whatever. Great page-turner. I need to check out more of Urasawa's stuff though.

Hell yeah, this! I'm not usually a fan of manga, but these read like like visual literature!
They're the kinds of stories you wish you could forget........ just so that you can go through the thrill of discovering them again! Serious edge of your seat stuff.
Also:
-Blame!
-Nausicaa
-Akira (a billion times better than the movie)
