I can have a field day with naming 'manga better than anime'
Manga whose anime does a pretty good job, but is incomplete due to limited episodes or whatnot... the manga tells the full story, which these imo, are very very much worth checking out:
GTO - since you liked the anime, you'll be in love with the manga
Kare Kano
Fruits Basket
Angelic Layer
To Love RU
Rurouni Kenshin - past the Kyoto arc
Spiral - Suiri no Kizuna
Mahoroba
Eyeshield 21
Hayate no Gotoku!
School Rumble
Manga whose anime is just a butchered shadow of its original self - the plot was changed completely or it was given a rushed non-canon ending. The original manga version, of course, is worth reading:
Love Hina
Mahou Sensei Negima
Galaxy Angel - totally different. For one thing it actually has a serious plot.
Tsubasa ~ Reservoir Chronicles
Chrono Crusade <- ymmv. I liked the manga a lot more.
Get Backers
Fullmetal Achemist - exception: the anime adaptation's (original one) story isn't bad at all, but it is different, and I think the manga's story is still better
One Piece
Other mangas that I think are worth checking out: (most of these are currently ongoing)
The World God Only Knows - my current favorite
Bakuman - my second current favorite
Beelzebub
Dengeki Daisy
Angel Densetsu - seconded because I loved it that much
Kimi no Iru Machi - if you're into neverending drama
Liar Game
Skip Beat!
Fairy Tail
Air Gear
1/2 Prince
Mirai Nikki - if you're into psycho yanderes. Good story either way
RAVE
One Piece
