If you liked Beck add

...then you might like Ashita no Ousama add

Despite their differences in protagonist age and target audience--Beck is for and about teenage boys, Ashita no Ousama adult women--both manga follow slightly dorky, down-to-earth main characters growing up and learning to follow their talents in creative fields. Both of the series show realistic ups and downs but maintain a basically optimistic tone, and both also have a nice but mostly background romance subplot.

If you liked Kodomo no Omocha add

...then you might like Ashita no Ousama add

Kodocha focuses more on romance and comedy, and Ashita no Ousama shows more of the details of the acting world, but both series are about strong female characters pursuing careers in show business. They're both well-written stories, cute but with enough emotional depth to keep them from being fluff.

If you liked Warau Kyuuketsuki add

...then you might like Nijigahara Holograph add

Both are fascinating, somewhat confusing trips through the worst side of human nature and its violent collision with youth. Insanity and the paranormal element are important in both stories, with a blurry line between them.

If you liked Otona no Mondai add

...then you might like Suna no Ue Rakuen add

Two underappreciated works, Suna no Ue Rakuen is a collection of short stories and Adult's Problem is a single-volume story. Though they have few surface similarities, they're linked by the author's excellent sense of characterization and by the themes of family ties that occur in several of the stories.

If you liked Bokurano add

...then you might like Saishuu Heiki Kanojo add

Both are about the psychology of adolescents given terrible weapons of war--SaiKano focuses on the development of one relationship, while Bokurano follows a larger cast.

If you liked Coelacanth add

...then you might like Undercurrent add

Both are thoughtful, short but well-paced stories about people who have to work through a mystery in the past so they can move on with their lives.

If you liked Endou Hiroki Tanpenshuu add

...then you might like Kakumeika no Gogo add

Both collections of short stories with a psychological edge and some dark humor (the latter more overt in Revolutionist).

If you liked Vitamin add

...then you might like River's Edge add

Both look at the ugly side of school and growing up, although River's Edge is generally a rawer story.

If you liked ES: Eternal Sabbath add

...then you might like Nanase add

Both are stories with strong female characters, where psychic powers and the isolation they bring are important themes.

If you liked Tenshi Kinryouku add

...then you might like Seimaden add

Both stories are about the reincarnation of troubled love and the questionable value of "holy" gifts, and both have some very nice art with similar ornateness.

If you liked Mars add

...then you might like Pietà add

Similar themes of two people helping each other cope with their various past damage, although Mars is a much longer story.
