@ampzz, I'm bored, so lets see how obscure is the stuff I recommend
siesta - one of the few action shoujos that I approve of (Not super epic like what you want though)
Extra Existence - a random manga written by the guy who wrote Ubel Blatt (only 1 chap is scanlated)
Hayate x Blade - a manga that talks about sword fighting, but it mostly focuses on comedy...
Judas - one of SnO's author's earlier works.. Not as good as Watashi no Messiah-sama, but it is decent series with more talks about religion and wondering who is right.

I'll go through more of my list later.

Ah, I guess I should have said a bit more.

I have seen hundreds upon hundreds of manga, my MAL account doesn't even begin to show how much stuff I've read.
This might actually be incentive to finally get both sides of my lists completed.

This isn't even a complete list:
http://www.mangaupdates.com/mylist.html ... &list=read

1. Real-life applicable vocab - The story should be set somewhere in today's real world or at least no hugely fantastic setting or timeline. School life, slice of life, stuff like that usually works well.
2. Vocab should be reasonably difficult/easy - A bit harder to pin down, but as long as you don't give me stuff targeted to babies or super-convoluted dialogue-driven plots that you'd need a university degree to understand it should be okay. As a point of reference, Death Note is barely okay - anything more complicated than that will probably exceed my skill level.
3. I prefer Seinen manga, but am generally okay with anything really. It's for learning after all. However, if you give me shoujo manga at least have the decency to choose more mature ones like Life.
4. No sports manga; despite fitting my criteria quite well this is the one genre I absolutely cannot stand.
5. If it's romance, try to stick to romantic comedies or something.
6. Preferrably no furigana since they get me to cheat involuntarily, but this is really just a minor point.

1. Scan your manga onto your computer or likewise search for a Japanese raw available on the internet.
2. Use Gimp, Photoshop or any editing software to remove the furigana.
3. Save it as an independent folder and only reference back to the correct raw for quality checking.
4. Profit?

1. No yaoi (since, well, we forbid porn recommendations)
2. Features more healthy relationships, less implied-rape-is-love type relationships
3. Preferably more towards the bara body type?
