Since there are manga covering every possible topic in the world, it depends on what you like. I recommend any of the books by Vertical Inc, Fanfare/Ponent Mon, or the Viz Signature line.

Black Jack is good, but you have to have a tolerance for medical drawings. Tezuka shows off his medical degree in that work.

Try Kikaider Code 02 from CMX.

Other than that I would suggest looking at Viz’s catalog, especially the shonen advanced, viz media, and editor’s choice books. Also Del Rey has some great stuff too.
