Zippy Ziggy: Manhwa about a boy who has a hilariously bad personality but who still pretends to be a magnanimous perfect student at school. However one day his world is shaken up when a new transfer student who happens to be a martial arts freak happens to transfer to his school and she is easily able to see through his lies.
Nononono: About a girl who wants to achieve gold for Japan after her father failed to do so in the Olympic in ski jumping but is forced to crossdress as they only allow men to do that event. This is actually one of the few sports manga I actually enjoy though its probably more for the character drama and dark atmosphere than anything. Then again it is written by the guy who did Elfen Lied.

I still remember being surprised at how 16-sai turned out to be the prequel to Sumire 17-sai. Seriously did not expect that.
Anyway, back to the topic at hand.
Looking through the previous posts, I don't think anyone has ever mentioned Piano no Mori. This is an especially strange case, as the manga (more than 70 chapters and counting) doesn't seem to have a page so far here, despite the fact that it's used as an example in both Son of a Whore and Technician Versus Performer. What?

I don't thing Serious Business series work here well due its specialization.

just finished reading the first chapter of love so life, liking it so far it is pretty cute.

"Please crush me with your heels Esdeath-sama!Found a couple volumes of something I forgot I had (sadly, too badly damaged to keep.) Go Nagai's Lovely Angel. Our heroine, Angel (no relation to the Dirty Pair) is a wandering sex therapist. She finds people in trouble and uses her portable hot tub and sexual healing to help them work through their problems. Later, her Shadow Archetype is introduced, Dark Angel, a suspiciously similar young woman who dresses more in the dominatrix style and uses her prowess to punish the wicked. Yeah, it's porn with an Excuse Plot, and I have no idea if there's scanlations anywhere.
Update: Google didn't find any, but I didn't change the search settings.

Megalomania is pretty amazing. It's a shonen manga dealing with themes of racism, civil rights, crime and drugs. Canon is a young female police officer of the demihuman crime divisio, a unit of the police that deals with crimes involving demihumans who are genetically modified beings. Canon may look like a small ordinary human but she's not. Canon is half demihuman, and a powerful one at that. The serious has very serious themes and some action but balances it out with various humorous moments and cartoon-y reactions.
I get a bit of Full Metal Alchemist vibe off it though isn't much like it in story/plot thus far it has the serious themes balanced with humor in about the same amount. It's also published by the same company so that's not too surprising.

The plot is extremely twisty with many reveals from 1000 years ago, constantly changing the meaning of everything that’s happened so far and several Gambit Pileups in the present as each of the chessmasters work towards their own ends. Somehow it also features hostile aliens
