There's a manga that I'm surprised (and at the same time, relived) isn't more popular on this forum and many others in general.
It's name is Toriko and focuses on a Bishokuya (Gourmet Hunter) of the same name that is trying to amass food items for his world class Menu. The plot sounds a little ... iffy, but it is really unique and just a fresh breath of air. It involves many interesting characters that also have the same goal in mind as him (they want different foods on theirs) as well as an elite class of villains that are super exciting.
The manga bears a lot of similarities to Hunter X Hunter and One Piece (no doubt, all three authors are really good friends). Some things they have in common are; unique art, two different types or worlds (OP = New World, Toriko = Gourmet World, HxH = Dark Continent), and characters that make readers care.
It's on chapter 236 and hasn't run into any plot holes or ass pulls like ... erm, Naruto. There's even a crossover between other series.
Some more stuff that might intrigue you is the action is awesome, the manga has a good idea of where it wants to go and doesn't stall, or lag on. It offers a variety of different characters that are really cool and mysterious like one of the villains Tommyrod (an individual who contains different insects and parasites that he can send out to fight).
Something that might interest females is an actual powerful and not over-sexualized female character (granted she comes later.)
The art and story are really good and I hope that everyone will try and read it, past the first four chapters at least!!!
