I'm looking for some manga recommendations!

I love comics and graphic novels, but I haven't devoted a lot of time to manga despite it being in line with my interests. A lot of the stuff I come across seems aimed at younger audiences or is highly romance-focused, neither of which really appeal to me. I'd love to get some good recommendations for manga that is more meant for adults (but is not "adult manga") or that just tells really good stories.

To get a feel for what I might be interested in, here's a very limited list of what I've enjoyed so far:

My Brother's Husband was cute and resonant. I like nearly anything that tackles LGBT/queer issues.

I read a scanlation of Homunculus and enjoyed its oddness and artwork.

Ichi-F was really good too. I like non-fiction, which I realize is rare in manga.

Death Note, despite not being what I'm actively looking for, was a great page-turner.

Opus was a meta-manga that I enjoyed, despite probably not being able to appreciate it to its fullest given my lack of exposure to the form.

EDIT: I added links in case anyone is unfamiliar with those titles. Also, I forgot to add that I'd prefer manga that are finished rather than ongoing, and I'd prefer ones that don't have a huge number of volumes, though neither of these are definite requirements -- just preferences.
