Dr. Ensatsu-ken

Excel Saga- Volume 1 was good, and I plan to read more as soon as I'm done with college by next week
Full Metal Panic! Sigma- A surprisingly good adaptation of the light novels in light of a new anime that we'll never get
Kaiji- Insanely addicting for what it is, though admittedly it does use a lot of cheap writing tricks, but I still enjoy the fuck out of it
Psyren- Pretty decent shonen from what I've read of it, but so far I haven't read enough of it just yet to rank it over the others

Enigma: The concept is intriguing and the artwork has a nice, clean look to it. I think it has potential.
