Houshin Engi is AWESOME! I have a few vols bought but I like the fan translation a whole lot more. Too bad Fujisaki Ryuu's other works aren't nearly as cool as Houshin Engi. Warning though, the series is extremely wacky and confusing (lots of people with difficult names for eg), but I love it. Taikoubou (the protagonist) is still the most kick-ass manga chara ever and the other charas are also great. I cried, I laughed and I loved reading HE. There are two parts of the story, volumes 1-15 and 16-23 (the latter  is absolutely crazy!).

Urasawa's MONSTER is great, never watched the anime till the end though, but I have read manga several times. My favourite Urasawa series must be PLUTO (8 vols).

I read a lots of manga, so if you wanna know if "insert series here" is good, just ask

One thing about Houshin Engi though, DO NOT WATCH THE ANIME. It's the most awful anime adaptation of anything ever. They promised to make a proper remake of the anime years back but looks like that promise was empty.
