I like a good delinquent protagonist in my manga, but I've run dry. I'd prefer something either funny or at least shounen. I've read and enjoyed so far:

Midori no Hibi
Angel Dentetsu
Yankee-kun to Megane- chan
School Rumble
GTO
Onidere
Kongou Bancho
Beelzebub
Hanza Sky

That I can remember.

Akira - Not so much a comedy. Or shounen, really.

Cromartie - Yes, forgot this one. I have both read the manga and watched the anime.

Death Note - Light Yagami is an A-grade student. Not so much a delinquent.

Veritas - Looks good. I've just skimmed the first chapter. Bit annoyed with the translation. Why translated won as dollars? I'll give it a chance though.

Yu Yu Hakusho - I have read a good chunk of this over two sessions. Kinda lost interest both times. I mean, it's alright, but the plot didn't really grip me.

High School of the Dead - I do read this (well, when it actually updates), but it's not really a delinquent manga.

I would say YYH as well, but you said manga(and good), and the manga of YYH just is kind of wacky, especially at the end. The anime on the other hand is awesome and much better.

Kaiji stars a sort of-kind of delinquent in that he quit the rat race of Japanese education, but he is a bum.

I find Kaiji hard to read. It just takes sooooooo long for it to get anywhere. I mean, there's like sixty-seventy chapters about a game of dice.

It's Sensui.

I actually don't like Season 3 as much as the first two because I thought that some of those new psychic characters introduced were boring, but it did like that the important characters were together unlike Season 4. Plus, the Sensui fight just dragged on, and on, and on! It felt like the creators were saying "we need to find a way to make the sensui fight better than the one with Tugoro (or however you spell his name), so let's make it twice as long!"

Imagine Liar Game, with someone far less competent than Akiyama as the main character just trying to survive through the game. I prefer Liar Game in that the games are more interesting, but Kaiji has got better character development and all.

Yeah he was one of my favorites, but apparently they snubbed him since Japan hates him or something, but Hiei was definitely better in the fourth season just because we learned more about his past and stuff.

Here's how I would rank the four main characters:

Kurama>Kuwabara>Yusuke>Hiei

But I liked all of them, however.

Hiei was always my favorite. Kuwabara is cool, but unfortunately I have to rank him last.

Hiei > Yusuke > Kurama > Kuwabara.

Kuwabara is easily the manliest of the bunch, but the other three are just way more badass, which is more important to me.

Oh yeah I forgot that apparently Yusuke basically isn't even Yusuke in the manga... At least not the Yusuke I prefer to remember.

I looked at the epilogue for the manga once and it was just weird, especially with things Yusuke says during the final scene. The anime did a much better job at ending the series.

You might want to watch the dub instead of the sub for the YYH anime; Funi actually improved the dialogue.

I thought the YYH manga was pretty great.
I mean the anime is particularly amazing for a shounen adaption, especially since it cleans up the beginning and end, but there's just no substitute for Togashi art in certain scenes.

Nah bro.
Not only does Link's voice actor do Hiei, we got the Buggy voice actor for Kuwabara AND the Luffy/Krillin voice actor for Koenma.
And no silly accents!
