elf_fu picked, of all the bizarre choices...
Angelic Layer: A manga series, later serialized into an anime, from CLAMP (Chobits, Card Captor Sakura, Wish, etc.), that essentially epitomizes cute and spunky. A young girl enters the world of fighting robots (Angels) the size of dolls, and through perserverence, dedication, and so forth, manages to become the Japanese champion in five easy volumes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angelic_Layer
Flame of Recca: Recca Hanabishi, ninja-obsessed teenage boy with the power to make fire come out of his hands, ends up in massive conflict with wielders of ancient talismans of elemental and magical power. About as coming-of-age as any shonen manga, it also features plenty of fighting (of course), overlying a plot of ancient ninja clan control and the wielders of the ancient birthright of power. Oh, and an evil corporate guy tries to gain immortality, just as a bonus. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flame_of_Recca
Gene Catlow: A webcomic I began reading some years ago, based on links and references from and to other webcomics I read. Succinctly, a 'furry' comic inasmuch as it features anthropomorphic animals -- part of its initial interest is their extremely uneasy relationship with the humans. There's also magic coffee which gives a main character psychic powers -- which, unfortunately, gets diluted down to a generic psychic power which literally every character can access. It's hard to summarize a webcomic that's been going on for years in a paragraph, and to be honest I only read the comic these days out of habit rather than specific enjoyment.
Sinfest: There are people left on the internet who don't know http://www.sinfest.net/? In brief: Creator Tatsuya Ishida takes a whack at just about everything through the vehicles of would be pimp-daddy Slick, attention-eager Monique, God (hand puppets only), the Dragon, the Devil... Seriously, just go read it. Sinfest is practically the ur-webcomic.
You Damn Kid!: A now-defunct four-panel webcomic about childhood life -- of a more cynical and realistic bent. The protagonist deals with, at ten, the more unpleasant reality of growing up, parents' and adults' behavior (often hypocritical, seldom quite as wise as they ought to be), overlaid with a sort of nostalgia and innocence that a child ought to have about such things. The archives are still up, but it hasn't been updated in months, more's the pity.
