I basically only read romance manga, so I don't have a variety of recs. With the longer series I'm most likely not completely caught up, but I'm recommending
them anyway because I liked what I read.
Also my manga recs list will probably be shorter than my anime recs list my goldfish brain can't remember what I've read
* = completed, > = less than 20 chapters
