Personally it would be claymore, often hailed as a female centric berserk.
A story about the lowest class of a generation of engineered superhuman woman fighting monsters to save humanity.
The art gets better and better as it goes on, with stunning panels everywhere(example below).
The intrigue struggle and strive the characters go through is a stellar example of simple yet effective storytelling.
Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou is maybe not your typical recommendation, but very laid back.
I come and re read this every year. The quitensensial laid back manga.
