Not mentioning the series that update often, I usually read one series slowly in physical form and one in digital in a tablet that I bring to work.
In physical form I am currently reading Great Teacher Onizuka as I read it when I was around 20YO and I still consider it one of my few 10s in manga. Onizuka is one of the best characters in both manga and anime IMO, and the manga is not just a fun read but a life lesson.
Digital I am reading Capeta, and I find it very interesting as it explains very well the struggles for someone to become a Formula driver. The series starts with Capeta driving kart, and going through the series to become a Formula 1 driver, but it explains challenges both technically (overster, understeer, etc) and outside the track (money, connections, sponsors,etc). Might finish it next week depending on the workload this week.
If Onizuka interests you as a character, I strongly suggest reading “Shonan Junai Gumi”, prequel to GTO. The art is crude in comparison, and the story and characters don’t really take shape until a few volumes, but it gives you great insight on both Onizuka and his pal Ryuuji
