Well, how would you define 'gag manga'? Because if you're counting things like yonkoma, then yes.

No, nothing like Yonkama. Im talking about actual manga with an actual storyline but the point to read it is mainly for laughter.

So would something like Yotsuba&! count?

That's one of my favorites. And it's the only manga I've been able to get my whole family into. It's kind of my go-to series when I'm introducing someone new to manga, too.

I just got my sister reading it, I'm trying to convince her to cosplay Yotsuba before she's too big. She's kind of too big already, but WHATEVER. My dad even said he'd be Jumbo. XD

My sister just swore that once she's all caught up on what's released in English, she's gonna learn Japanese so that she can read what hasn't been translated officially yet. I'm gonna have to introduce her to scanlations.

Beelzebub or however you spell it looks funny. I haven't watched it yet but Im betting it's totally a gag manga/anime.

For those of you who like older stuff, Maison Ikkoku is pretty gag-filled.

While not a manga, Nerima Daikon Brothers is a fantastically hilarious anime. You have to be okay with people singing all the time, though.

(Note: There is a manga for this series, but it was made after the anime, has not been released in the US, and I have not run across any scanlations. So it might as well not exist.)
