I recommend Blame. Kickass action, almost no dialogues at all and light on the story. You can probably finish each volume in 10 minutes.

Considering how much you post about manga here I guess it works lol
How about:
Glass mask (shoujo to wash all that shounen away.)
Soredemo machi wa mawatteiru for laughs.
I'll also recommend yokohama kadiashi kikou if you just want to read something relaxing.
Wiseblade had me interested in Glass Mask, what exactly is Soredemo not heard much of it.
Also I just used a random thingy chooser and got JoJo's Bizarre Adventure as my completely random option lol.
I always read mangas concurrently. It's much more efficient as you can read 3-4 chapters of Manga A and then right as you get enough of it switch to Manga B, then to Manga C and after that you can go back to Manga A. Rinse and repeat. You can read a lot more chapters a day with this method. It shouldn't be too much though, my sweetspot seems to be three series at a time.
Pretty good option.

Soredemo is just a pretty funny slice of life manga.
Great characters, with some pretty amazing interactions and scenarios.

Is it better then Yotsuba? Was thinking of checking that out soon
Same artist. He has a problem with the sameface syndrome, but his architectural art is great and he got some amazing style with the details and grittiness.

Huh.
It's kind of hard for me to put one over the other actually.
Personally they're on par, but yotsuba has the cuteness x-factor.Mouryou no Hako 2
Nasty.
I'm still confused as to what is happening, but everything is really fucking creepy. Also the characters seem deliciously deranged.
Stuffing people into boxes seems to be a recurring theme.

I wish I could do that with manga (far easier with anime for some reason). A new series at chp 1 pops up and I swiftly abandon trying to read another Eyeshield 21 chapter or start Medaka Box/Beelzebub, and instead target the new manga.

This suddenly became a very long and very complicated dissertation on the role of a religious medium, psychic, and diviner, what their goals are and the methods they use in order to make people believe them.
It's kind of awesome but I'm a little lost at the moment.

There's an anime series?
I might hunt it down once I'm done with the current translations.

I knew there was a Yume Nikki manga, but I didn't release it was by Hitoshi Tomizawa. This is going to be amazing.
Yup and it's quality stuff too. It's a shame nobody watched it.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Phantom Blood 1-3
The art for this is very dated, but it still a fairly unique style even if it hasn't evolved into the more iconic JoJo art you see today. Dio is a glorious bastard and JoJo is a likeable sap. I've already seen all of Phantom Blood in the anime release and for a most part it did an incredibly accurate job of adapting this from what I've seen.

I hope someone will translate Ballroom e Youkoso one day...
The covers are beautiful.
Is this a shounen ballroom dancing manga?
Super interesting.

Eyeshield 21 20-22
This mostly is establishing who the fourth main player on the team is going to be, a baseball star who is incredible at catching but can't throw for beans. His personality seems like he'll fit in well with the DB's.

Get Inside Her!
Jeeze I forgot all about Crona killing Medusa. (And I don't think I'll ever fully understand the black blood.) I stand by my disappointment in the lack of Maka's mother, though. It really felt like a Kekkaishi plot thread, where she was gonna suddenly finally appear and be super important but nope, nothing.

Mouryou no Hako 4
So after all the set up, it seems like we're finally getting to meet the main cast.
Really interesting so far with the whole dismemberment, stuffing people into boxes, and insane cults. Will probably watch the anime to see how this unfolds.

Ohkubo might show Maka´s mother at the end just to introduce her after all the fighting is done, so that the audience finally see her. I can imagine Ohkubo keeping her a mystery even after the end of the manga much like the gender of Crona.

His Favorite v4
Great color page. Another hilarious volume that seemed at times to show just how ridiculous the writer makes a few moments in the plot. The fat camp for Sato and the kids running from tigers, cheetahs, lions, etc and then many more moments there made me laugh a bit, then back in the present day Yoshida's usual reactions and the Haunted House (best). Sure no progress was made on their relationship beyond two fast kiss moments, but it was still a blast. Love the series and cant wait for v5. Taro chan, Nishida are good to have around too.

Depression. He even apologized publicly for the ending in a doujin he drew sometime after.

Ballroom dancing? Man, how in the world do you make that compelling in manga form? Now I want to read it.
What next, a horse back riding/ equestrian manga? Water polo?
. . These already exist, don't they.
This short podcast talks a bit about the ending.

Let's also not forget the length of a monthly chapter, so much more can be put into them, not needing a cliffhanger, bit could end up with lots of double pages too.

The art is a little lacking compared to the covers, but the dancing scenes are hot.

This reminds me of Berserk. I read 320 chapters in a week, and there were like 30 chapters worth of double pages which made the reading much faster

the Movie: Female Spy's Love! The Purple Rose Has a Dangerous Scent!?

Umisho !
By the author of Otogi No Machi No Rena (a.k.a. creatures in my 'gina) and Sankarea (a.k.a. Zombie smut)
She likes to swim naked, but for the tankubon's cover she complied
Story of Okiura, the manager of the Umisho swimming team
and Amuro (girl on the cover), whose floating house pulled up to the shore coincientally when the club was in dire need of members. Which was perfect since Amuro's got the habit of swimming nude, and turns out to be quite talented at it as she has lived her whole life on sea, so she joins the club.
It's not this century's manga, nor it is excellent, but it's charming at times
, there's some comedy and there is some smut (granted with that setting...). Some chapters are hilarious thanks to Shizuoka
and Captain's insanity. It's not that long either (130 10-pages chapters), so it's ideal in short bursts or to pass the afternoon.

I always like mangas where romantic issues are dealt with in relatively realistic amounts of pages

I'm still waiting for somebody to pick Bambino Secondo!. It's a shame that nobody is translating it, the first series was so fucking good.

'cept for God's Beard. He can stay out.
The Captain, and Shizuoka's parents were lulz, by the way.

It started out nice enough, then took this deep dive somewhere between a quarter and halfway in.
