I tend to only read manga that has no anime series out. It helps me develop the characters in my head and by seeing one I don't spoil the other. But some of my recommendations would be either Ragnarok, Galaxy Angel or Psychic Academy.
Ragnarok is mainly an action manga about the wars of the norse gods(thus the name Ragnarok). But it's great because the character designs are awesome looking and the story and action are very intense and gripping.
Galaxy Angel does have an anime, BUT the manga is completely different and shares only the characters from the show instead of the whole story (simular to how Tenchi seasons and manga are always different). The show actually has no plot to be honest, but the manga has a fairly deep plot that is fun to read. The characters are very easy to like and the story is just an amusing space adventure. This manga is one of my favorites right now because it always makes me laugh when I read it.
Psychic Academy is one I only picked up recently from a recommendation from someone else on these boards. (Thank you Kal!) But all in all this is more of a comedy manga where the situational humor is hilarious to read. Just so you get an idea, the plot consists of a boy, Ai Shiomi, who just recently discovered that he has psychic abilities, but unfortunately his big brother is one of the most powerful pschics ever seen. So due to that fact, everyone overestimates the powers that Ai posses and he doesn't even know how to use them yet. On top of that, his older brother is a cool, but overbearing person who constantly is babying him and exposing embarrassing childhood secrets about him. And if that wasn't enough there are two girls at the psychic school he attends who both develop a crush on him. Sounds pretty crazy doesn't it? But it's a very funny story.
NOTE: Sorry for rambling there, kinda got lost in the description. Hope this helps! Enjoy Naruto when you get it, because after you read the manga then watch the show (if it ever gets licensed) you'll be absolutely amazed.
PSU Character:
Izurei - Level 50 Cast, Rank 10 Ranger/Rank 3 Force (Future Guntecher) - Universe 2 or 15

I recommend Card Captor Sakura by CLAMP instead of Chobits. It's about a schoolgirl, her friends and her magic cards. I bet you'll like CCS better than Chobits. I enjoyed it when I was little, though. Get it if you're under 15.

I love this manga, I've only read up to Book 5/6(?) The one where at the end Chaos is going fight the General dude. Skurai owns.
So I'd recommend Ragnarok as well.
There are some that said the apocalypse would never come. I have arrived. What are they to say now?
