Other slice-of-life manga you should read but I am too tired to write out recommendations for: Solanin, What a Wonderful World! (bunch of short stories, very very very good, same guy who did Solanin), House of Five Leaves (I love this about as much as I love Utena, anime and manga both), Hikaru no Go(though it does not contain nearly enough ladies! but there is a ghost from the Heian era), and Hourou Musuko (adorable trans kids, yessss).

Other things you should read: Detective Conan, if you like mysteries and don't mind episodic series that go on for-ev-er. The Scarlet Chair, by the same lady who did Natsume Yuujinchou -- has a badass girl who is searching the country for someone, political intrigue, and despite the other major players being guys passes the Bechdel test by a mile. 1/2 Prince, about a girl in a VR game who gets the admins to give her a male character because the female ones have 'advantages'. Penguin Revolution, a crossdressing entertainment-world shoujo thing by the same author as Land of the Blindfolded.

And now I have to go to bed & get up early so I can wash before my flight in the morning. I hope you're finding lots of nice things to read. :D
