You should really try to read more of Death Note. Or just watch it, since the anime is great.

Besides that, Soul Eater always looked cool to me, but I never tried it.


What I recommend to everyone:

Manga:
Gantz
Btooom

Anime:
Welcome to the N.H.K.
Gintama
Detective Conan

Manga-wise I recommend-

I am a Hero (first 15 chapters are quite boring but help you understand who the main character is). If you don't like horror not recommended so much. Although that said I don't like horror but like it....actually sorta gave me daymares last night.
RRR if you want a short boxing manga. When I say short I mean in comparison to Hajime no Ippo. It's about an aspiring rock star who ends up becoming a pro boxer.
Holyland which is basically about street fighting but also the journey of someone from an unconfident underdog to a respected (but not necessarily liked) fighter. I've on chapter 30 and it's very technically sound so far in its covering of some boxing techniques. Judo and Karate have so far been featured a little too, and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu has been mentioned.
All Rounder Meguru if you want a good MMA manga. Two highschool-aged former friends training and fighting amateur MMA in different gyms. One is just doing it for fun or at most to be successful in the sport and the other is doing it to better equip himself to get revenge on someone in the Yakuza. Like Holyland this is technically strong and different aspects of training are covered.

I haven't read much manga. I dropped Fairy Tail after about 70 chapters I think, and I dropped Subarashii Sekai and Loveless I suppose. I'm also reading No.6 which is ok so far. The anime was quite good apart from the last ep which wasn't all amazing.

Wow, I just realized how much of a Manga noob I was, back then... :P

I still don't read THAT much, but my horizon is quite a bit better, now.

Berserk, Toriko, and Slam Dunk are all Manga I'd recommend.

Read Slam Dunk with the intent of finishing each of the basketball matches at once, BTW.

Seven Deadly Sins (or whatever the hell it's called in Japanese) is awesome.
