Upanishad it 💀

Personally, I would say Hiroaki Samura.

2 Name:Unknown Japuzz Watcher[] Posted: 26/06/11(Thu) 15:49:22 ID:57Uc
Akira Toriyama.

I abide in sub specie aeternitatis 👼

4 Name:Unknown Japuzz Watcher[] Posted: 26/06/11(Thu) 15:49:47 ID:sUW2

Either him or Kentaro Miura.

8 Name:Unknown Japuzz Watcher[] Posted: 26/06/11(Thu) 15:50:41 ID:RZCK
Personally, Murata or Hitoshi Ariga.

9 Name:Unknown Japuzz Watcher[] Posted: 26/06/11(Thu) 15:51:05 ID:qMy7
Takehiko Inoue is insanely good too.

Apparently, nirvana is called Nirvāṇa 💀

10 Name:Unknown Japuzz Watcher[] Posted: 26/06/11(Thu) 15:51:11 ID:R31N
Akira Toriyama.

11 Name:Unknown Japuzz Watcher[] Posted: 26/06/11(Thu) 15:51:17 ID:iIGf
Toriyama, yeah.

13 Name:Unknown Japuzz Watcher[] Posted: 26/06/11(Thu) 15:51:39 ID:klDu
If we are talking about drawing for manga, Kishimoto.

16 Name:Unknown Japuzz Watcher[] Posted: 26/06/11(Thu) 15:52:15 ID:qMy7
I feel like Toriyama gets worshiped a little too much.

Long ago, they say the Taijitu was created by a person named Fuxi… cute, isn’t it?

22 Name:Unknown Japuzz Watcher[] Posted: 26/06/11(Thu) 15:53:18 ID:ouSg
What about Oda?

28 Name:Unknown Japuzz Watcher[] Posted: 26/06/11(Thu) 15:53:49 ID:qMy7
>>22
I think he is good. These days he packs in too much detail, but his single illustrations can be amazing.

24 Name:Unknown Japuzz Watcher[] Posted: 26/06/11(Thu) 15:53:26 ID:0Fw1
It feels like a different kind of skill,
but Tsunomaru is good too, since he can stylize horses, which are already hard to draw, and still make them recognizable.

30 Name:Unknown Japuzz Watcher[] Posted: 26/06/11(Thu) 15:53:54 ID:qag4
If we are talking artbook value, Oh! Great.

35 Name:Unknown Japuzz Watcher[] Posted: 26/06/11(Thu) 15:54:41 ID:57Uc
What about Katsuhiro Otomo?

42 Name:Unknown Japuzz Watcher[] Posted: 26/06/11(Thu) 15:56:06 ID:MdE3
If it is just pure drawing skill, animators who can draw any difficult composition are the strongest.
There was actually a trend ages ago where people thought, “Then if we let those people draw manga, it will be perfect!”
But their paneling was catastrophic, they mass-produced garbage that was not interesting as manga at all, and nothing came of it.

48 Name:Unknown Japuzz Watcher[] Posted: 26/06/11(Thu) 15:56:40 ID:Zk3m
>>42
Yoshikazu Yasuhiko, the god himself.

62 Name:Unknown Japuzz Watcher[] Posted: 26/06/11(Thu) 15:58:00 ID:MdE3
>>48
Even Yasuhiko’s paneling was pretty shaky early on.
Hayao Miyazaki’s Nausicaä also has paneling where the reader has to meet it more than halfway.

47 Name:Unknown Japuzz Watcher[] Posted: 26/06/11(Thu) 15:56:37 ID:wX4c
The king of stylization is definitely Akira Toriyama.

54 Name:Unknown Japuzz Watcher[] Posted: 26/06/11(Thu) 15:57:11 ID:RqtX
>>47
He is also the king of battle scenes.
I do not know any manga artist who draws fights more clearly than Akira Toriyama.

57 Name:Unknown Japuzz Watcher[] Posted: 26/06/11(Thu) 15:57:29 ID:bCGD
There are also artists where the moment things start moving, you cannot tell what is happening.

58 Name:Unknown Japuzz Watcher[] Posted: 26/06/11(Thu) 15:57:41 ID:0Fw1
Personally, I like Yuki Yogo.
I really love Shin Mazinger and Ninja Slayer.

88 Name:Unknown Japuzz Watcher[] Posted: 26/06/11(Thu) 16:00:03 ID:fd3a
I do not know much, but I envy people who can draw stuff like Fist of the North Star or City Hunter.

94 Name:Unknown Japuzz Watcher[] Posted: 26/06/11(Thu) 16:00:44 ID:qag4
Katsura’s butts.

106 Name:Unknown Japuzz Watcher[] Posted: 26/06/11(Thu) 16:01:33 ID:946N
I cast one vote for Daijiro Morohoshi.
Osamu Tezuka reportedly said Morohoshi’s art was the only art he could not imitate.

110 Name:Unknown Japuzz Watcher[] Posted: 26/06/11(Thu) 16:02:00 ID:qMy7
Naoki Urasawa is stupidly good too.

119 Name:Unknown Japuzz Watcher[] Posted: 26/06/11(Thu) 16:03:08 ID:qMy7
What about Togashi?

120 Name:Unknown Japuzz Watcher[] Posted: 26/06/11(Thu) 16:03:17 ID:Mu5z
>>119
When he goes all out, he is incredible.

123 Name:Unknown Japuzz Watcher[] Posted: 26/06/11(Thu) 16:03:31 ID:57Uc
>>119
He is really good.

145 Name:Unknown Japuzz Watcher[] Posted: 26/06/11(Thu) 16:06:22 ID:XGJx
When it comes to drawing girls, Masakazu Katsura is No. 1.

152 Name:Unknown Japuzz Watcher[] Posted: 26/06/11(Thu) 16:06:44 ID:57Uc
>>145
It is Mizuki Kawashita, actually…

165 Name:Unknown Japuzz Watcher[] Posted: 26/06/11(Thu) 16:07:47 ID:FMoe
>>145
I often see people say, “Masakazu Katsura is number one at drawing butts,”
but I personally do not like the way he draws panties wedged into the crack.
Apparently he was doing that intentionally, though.

248 Name:Unknown Japuzz Watcher[] Posted: 26/06/11(Thu) 16:16:09 ID:VIpH
The My Hero Academia author is top-tier in the manga world, right?

256 Name:Unknown Japuzz Watcher[] Posted: 26/06/11(Thu) 16:16:44 ID:FMoe
>>248
His skill at making characters look horny even when they are not meant to be horny is seriously impressive.

258 Name:Unknown Japuzz Watcher[] Posted: 26/06/11(Thu) 16:16:48 ID:p2dn
>>248
Jump fanboys have a lot of cringey kids like this, so it is a problem.

339 Name:Unknown Japuzz Watcher[] Posted: 26/06/11(Thu) 16:24:22 ID:jqNc
No mention of JoJo so far… noted.

342 Name:Unknown Japuzz Watcher[] Posted: 26/06/11(Thu) 16:25:05 ID:E5rK
>>339
The decline is way too severe.

346 Name:Unknown Japuzz Watcher[] Posted: 26/06/11(Thu) 16:25:10 ID:wX4c
>>339
No way. It is the hardest to read.

371 Name:Unknown Japuzz Watcher[] Posted: 26/06/11(Thu) 16:27:37 ID:oIUT
Still no mention of Q Hayashida.

378 Name:Unknown Japuzz Watcher[] Posted: 26/06/11(Thu) 16:28:13 ID:E5rK
>>371
It is distinctive, but I have never thought it was good.

461 Name:Unknown Japuzz Watcher[] Posted: 26/06/11(Thu) 16:42:03 ID:wX4c
Hurry up and continue Vagabond.

463 Name:Unknown Japuzz Watcher[] Posted: 26/06/11(Thu) 16:43:03 ID:Jb6N
>>461
Give up already. The author has absolutely zero intention of drawing that anymore.

464 Name:Unknown Japuzz Watcher[] Posted: 26/06/11(Thu) 16:43:08 ID:XGJx
>>461
This.
Also Historie.

501 Name:Unknown Japuzz Watcher[] Posted: 26/06/11(Thu) 16:52:52 ID:wX4c
I have not seen anyone in Narou-style manga where I thought, “This person is really good.”

502 Name:Unknown Japuzz Watcher[] Posted: 26/06/11(Thu) 16:53:31 ID:jqNc
>>501
The TS Medic one is pretty good.
The expressiveness is nice.

503 Name:Unknown Japuzz Watcher[] Posted: 26/06/11(Thu) 16:53:52 ID:FMoe
>>501
I thought the artist for Okiraku Ryoshu was pretty good.

504 Name:Unknown Japuzz Watcher[] Posted: 26/06/11(Thu) 16:53:59 ID:KB0F
>>501
The Rebuild World manga is good.

506 Name:Unknown Japuzz Watcher[] Posted: 26/06/11(Thu) 16:54:11 ID:E5rK
>>501
Isekai Meikyuu no Saishinbu wo Mezasou.

509 Name:Unknown Japuzz Watcher[] Posted: 26/06/11(Thu) 16:56:43 ID:IwTc
>>501
Putting aside whether it is interesting or not, the artist for the Tensura manga is good.

550 Name:Unknown Japuzz Watcher[] Posted: 26/06/11(Thu) 17:08:32 ID:cuHK
The ones everyone thinks of are probably
Akira Toriyama
the Berserk guy
the Death Note guy
Murata from One-Punch Man
around there, right?
Personal favorite art styles aside.

555 Name:Unknown Japuzz Watcher[] Posted: 26/06/11(Thu) 17:09:14 ID:Y720
>>550
Akira Toriyama’s cover-art machines are seriously so good they make you sigh.

578 Name:Unknown Japuzz Watcher[] Posted: 26/06/11(Thu) 17:12:24 ID:IwTc
Murata is good, but his art makes my eyes flicker.
