Some of the technique is really impressive to me, it's basically an entirely different visual tradition. Especially the way motion and sound are depicted in manga I find just totally fascinating. It's so creative and effective at portraying these dynamic elements in a static form.

Unfortunately still I've never really found any that worked for me as complete works of art for all the common reasons. Bad dialog and plotting, off-putting tropes, juvenile subject matter etc.

Try Chainsaw Man. The first ~100 chapters make up the first "arc" of the series and it is incredibly well done. The story starts to meander and the art seems more rushed in the second arc (currently ongoing), but the art of the first arc alone makes it well worth a read.

Dungeon Meshi is also really good from beginning to end. Especially if you like D&D inspired material. It has a clever take on fantasy settings and avoids the more annoying anime tropes.

Drop the zero (the most popular shonen manga) get with the hero (the works of Taiyo Matsumoto).
