It's kind of tough with manga, since it varies across a wide spectrum, it may be easier to filter your request if you tell us what kind of genre you like; i.e., horror, scifi, action, romance (ick), sports, etc. I personally like the action, fighting, demon fighting, tech stuff. but I also like some of the funny/silly scripts they have (there are a ton available).

Here are a few available (a quick wikipedia will tell you more than I can about them):
Elfen Lies - action
Kaeru gunso - comic
Homunculus - action

There are a ton more, but I haven't really gone through enough of the scanlations to see what meets my tastes. Your best bet would be to d/l a chapter and flick through it real quick to see what you like. Hopefully more people here will make suggestions. I believe there's a manga thread in here somewhere too.

Lastly (RE: JE-Comics Convertor):
I think I read earlier about someone asking if the prog supports png or not. While you can only filter by jpg or all files, I thought I'd throw it at a directory of png's just to see if it'd choke or not... suprisingly, it didn't! I now have a compiled manga that was originally comprised of png-formatted images, not jpg.

[Edit] I did notice a post stating that the program choked with mixed formats; i.e., png & jpg in same folder, my test actually had a mix of the two and when the resultant PDF was checked, they were all there intact. Not sure if this was fixed in a version update since the original post.
