Here's their schedule of what they are reading in future weeks if you're interested in participating. They live stream on Tuesday nights.
I don't even read manga, but I watch this podcast every week.

Heeeeey! I've been reading GTO again (Great Teacher Onizuka) just for the laughs and general craziness. Also, Aoki Hagane no Arpeggio and Citrus. Magi: The Labyrinth is on my list, as is The Collectors
Life is above freezing and work is like uber busy as we gear up for the golf season!
I wish I travelled like that! But I'm broke most of the time (;_;) NYC is probably the furthest I'll go this year, unless I can finally have a Christmas with my family, now that my parents are back in Canada (after 18 years in Hong Kong!) I haven't seen them since 2010!



I'll recommend more later.
Naoko Takeuchi
Sailor Moon
Codename: Sailor V

Absolute Boyfriend[I wanna read this series]

However, I have recently picked up the first volume of the now out-of-print series, Kimi Wa Petto, published by TokyoPop as Tramps Like Us, Vol. 1. It's about a disrespected career woman who lets a younger guy stay with her... as her pet. It's not as sleazy as it sounds, promise! So far, it has been very cute.
Also, though I think OP has read this already, I highly recommend Fruits Basket, Volume 01, even if you've seen the anime. It may be set in high school, but darn it if it wasn't the most sad, yet heartwarming and surprising manga I've ever read.(NOTHING IS AS IT SEEMS!)

Sailor Moon Reboot.
Airs July 5th.
That is all. No, wait...
Squeeeeeeeeee!
Ok, I'm done.

The series follow two Japanese high schoolers who team up to create manga together, one writing and one drawing.
The artist is the main character, and makes a promise with the girl of his dreams, who he finds wants to be a voice actress for anime, that once their manga becomes an anime, she will voice the heroine, and they will get married.
The series is spanned over...maybe 20 graphic novels, and has a good balance of romance and non romance.
Bakuman is known for its somewhat snappy and sharp artwork, and its colored pieces being bright and flashy, in contrast to the writers other famous work 'Death Note'
I highly recommend this series, though I would suggest it to more experienced readers of manga, or otaku in general, as some of the references to other works may be missed.
