My favorite would be 20th century boys, because of the way the mangaka does faces, its the best I've seen in manga. I also liked KCDS. I began to lose interest in Vagabond where he keeps slashing seventy guys for twenty chapters without being scratched, but well, the art is still the best I've seen.
Post yours.
No contest.
An old standard.
>>111998869
One Piece and One Punch Man
Every other manga is just either okay, or shit compared to those two.
>>111999320
I can almost tell this is a female mangaka. It might be the excessive focus on tapestry and making the background rich.
>>111998869

>Putting One Piece and OPM in the same league in terms of art.
Oh! Great has great art.
I was always amazed how good this guy is at drawing yet so poor storytelling.
>>111999970
I just don't like this art. It looks so fucking dirty all the time for some reason.
>>111999970

Most of his works have traced backgrounds. This thread isn't about tracing

You mean they're the two ends of the scale?
>>112000174
No, Wan Piss drinkers are delusional enough to believe it has the best art in the universe.
And since he hasn't read more than 5 manga the only other candidate is OPM which is an /a/ favorite, so of course he has to read it or else he won't fit in.
>>112000207
Nihei's art is truly glorious
I especially love the way he handles architecture
>>111999970
Background is good, body is realistic but face is generic. Its really hard to do faces well. That's where 20CB and Vagabond stand apart from stuff like this and gantz.
Maybe Nihei doesn't have the best detail, but his style is fucking amazing. Not talking about Sidonia though.
The later volumes of Bastard!! look like stills from an anime adaption.
>>111998869
Nihei for regular manga
Endou Okito for lewd manga
>>112000308
I just think the guy's lost his ruler some time ago, and just went with it.
>>112000330
>body is realistic
I never can tell whether or not this is meant to be praise.
Who grass here?
>>112000466
I just love his style
A big fan of Eden and All-Rounder Meguru. Both by Hiroki Endo, both have incredibly detailed art.
>>112000330
Nah man, that might not have been the best example but I wouldn't say that Asano Inio draws generic faces. Definitely one of the better more unique styles I've seen.
>>112000545
>>112000067
It's still art even if it's traced.
>>111998869
Takehiko Inoue is a fucking god.
>>111998869
Sanctuary.
>>112000116
Yeah. I felt so uncomfortable reading that shit. Like ''What the fuck are you thinking Ogure??"
The body-switch part was painful.
>>112000636
That is the best manga ever, period.
>>112000511
Depends on what kind of manga are you doing.
>>111998869
can any manga compete with oda level of detail on a weekly schedule ?
>>112000550
Eden had some very goot art.
All rounder Meguru seems complacent by comparison.
Sure Endo does deserve praise for managing to convey complex, technical, real floorwork choreography, but otherwise he's really resting on his laurels.
I hope he makes something else in the future on the same level as the first say 12 volumes of Eden, or better yet the first 8.
>>112000647
I kept reading after that just to watch that delicious art and I think the ending wasn't that bad. He kind of got his shit together. But idk what he's thinking with his new manga, shit makes no fucking sense.
>>112000670
The best out of all 5 that you've read?
>>112000717
Vagabond and late Slam Dunk are were all weekly, though Vagabond only release on a weekly schedule when Inoue fucking wants.
>>112000752
No, out of the all 500, but yes it is the best.
>>112000670
No, it isn't.
Good politics, but it's literally "muh Japan!" the manga.
>>112000799
Of course, it is written by fucking Buronson. But its pro far outweighs is cons.
>>112000799
Not the OP, but just because its a "muh Japan" manga doesn't mean its not objectively the best.
>>112000799
Let me know of a comic, Japanese or otherwise, that isn't full of itself in its own nationalism when it comes to these things.
>>112000878
Berserk.
>>112000890
shingeki no uncanny valley
>>112000737
I felt that the ending was kinda rushed and anticlimatic. He even finished Tenjou to focus on Air Gear...
Didn't kniw he's making a new one though.
Probably my favorite manga.
>>112000919
It isn't a political manga/comic at all.
>>112000717
Have you seen the latest chapters of one piece? they look like shit.
>>112000955
Yeah, he started a new one, has like 10 chapters or something, some really crazy shit that makes no sense, the only thing good is the art.
>>112000978
I have the scans since shit ages ago, but I can seem to dig into it. I always ended up readon Shin Angyo Onshi or Yokohama again every time I have time to read a lot of volumes of a series.
>>112000461
>Endou Okito
Can't fap to his stuff m8, too artistic for me.
>>112000997
It does have an element of politics actually. And pay attention to what you said.
What kind of an idiot doesn't even realise what he is saying?
>>112000890
He can simulate motion and that's about it.
>>112001052
>>112000978
I feel the same. I read a bit as a kind of buffer series, but just ended up putting it down in favor of something else. Though to be fair I didn't get into the real meat of the story, so I still have a ways to go.

It's retarded to say which manga has the best art. There are hundreds of great artist with vastly different styles and different charms. You can say which one is your favorite but you can't say which one has the best
>>112001092
You mean that Berserk isn't full of nationalism when it doesn't portray politics in any fucking way?
I love Berserk, but the point of the manga is being a fantasy action story, is being ages since it barely touched political stuff in its plot or setting.
sameface out the ass but his shading is amazballs
>>112001192
nope
>>112001268
Yeah it is. That pyramid shit in the center and the platform it's on is literally just sketchup.

>>112000308
>>112000545
woah
I think its unfair when people's art is compared to Inoue though. That guy is like a classical painter who happened to become a mangaka. It shows in every panel almost.. the art takes precedence over the story.
>>112001243
I just wish the story was better. You're right though the art is great
Not even close to being the most detailed but it is my favorite.
>>112001220
>is being ages since it barely touched political stuff in its plot or setting
If shelf-life was relevant here, then Sanctuary isn't even applicable here.
Fucking kids.
>>112000890
I can't stand the snk manga. He does shadows and lightning so poorly, and it feels like he changed his artstyle to match the anime.
>>112001107
Indeed. Needs more correct human anatomy.
>>112001068
I can't fap to it either
I just daze at the backgrounds and characters clothes
>>112001506
>it feels like he changed his artstyle to match the anime
What?
>>112001411
yeah, probably a culture thing
>>112001503
Your point is idiotic. I'm not the OP, but you are comparing a manga which is entirely based around national politics to a fantasy manga. Who is the kid again?
>>112001215
Yes you can. Just look at this thread.Vagabond
>>112001539
>>112001068
Same here. It may give me a boner, but actually fapping to his stuff is impossible.
>>112001449
GTO does look really good sometimes
>>111998869
I liked Eden.
>>112000978
Ah, how could I forget. I thought it'd be hard to keep a well known story engaging, but the story and the way he weaved fiction into it, the art and the environment he creates is beautiful. This and Mushishi were exceptional on a level hard to describe.
>>112001506
>He does shadows and lightning so poorly
What? What'w wrong?
>>112001505
I fucking love the artstyle of this series
Which is especially suprising since I wasn't that keen on the idea of digitally drawn manga at first
>>112001550
I dunno, it's not too much. But if you compare how it used to look early on to how it looks now I think it looks like he's trying to capture some aspects from the anime.
I dunno, I'm bad at putting things into words sometimes.
>>112001774
Me too. The character designs are god tier.
>>112001617

I understand but I disagree. For exemple levi in the anime looks like levi during the female titan arc in the manga, not like the current Levi.
>>112000308
When I first saw Nihei's work I thought he budded from Enki Bilal or something both in style and in prevailant themes, flies fish wired clothes and damaged skin

>I had to take a break myself to be able to continue reading it.
Definitely, I started reading about 9 or 10 chapters and once I realized that it was actually happening and not a dream or something, I took a pretty long break from it.
>>112002986
>>112003012
Now we're talking. Look at how beautiful that turkey is.
>>112002832
Just look at this shit.
Prison School is fantastic in the character department, it's ecchi but it comes off amazingly well made, every shot he does is masterful. On the overall, Innocent has jaw dropping quality.
>>112002931
I also forgot Shamo and Until Death Do Us Part (Atleast in terms of showing varying ethnicity)
Maybe not best ever, but I'm really fond of the art, specially the costumes
>>112002781

The guy probably likes drawing ecchi, and he does it pretty well, I can't blame him.
Irie Akie have a good art, although not really realistic. The way they draw characters is great though, and they avoid sameface.
>>112002917
Agreed, wish she didn't cut her hair. Stupid short haired looking generic Jap, even though she's supposed so be nord.
>>112002782
When it comes to motion as well, none can beat Vagabond methinks. That scene where a young Kojiro is mimicking the movement of Kohei couldn't have been drawn better.
>>112003000
Haven't read Manhua, but those colors remind me of American comics, not for the better. I think Dr. Frost has shitty art but beautiful colors in some scenes.
>>112003202
I agree.
It's an example of art that isn't the best technically, but it's got a really great style to it.
He is pretty inconsistent though, it was only looking very good since part 7 and bits and pieces everywhere else
>>112003274
I know, the manga and the girls are hot as hell, but his other work was way better. I hope to see a new release of Devil Blues, that shit was great.
>>112003465
Well you are, because hes coming back to devil blues.
>>112003416
Yeah, because making her look like Griffith was any better.

>>112003428
>Haven't read Manhua, but those colors remind me of American comics, not for the better
You should give Feng Sheng Ji a read the art looks great in some parts
>>112003465
Wasn't it cancelled, though? I loved it and it's probably in my top 5, but I really doubt we'll ever get to see it again.
Maybe if Prison School does really well he'll get some leeway to do something without ecchi.
>>112003563
Sort of. It's pretty short, though. It's by the same guy who did Hideout. The white lines really give it away.

I also wait for sequel
>>112002066
Stay delusional, guy. You make it sound like any of these manga artists are any good at perspective or other aspects of art. Even concept artists and illustrators use some cheats to make things go easier. Especially for a mangaka who has insane deadlines, they're not going to waste time figuring out the perfect perspective for something of that complexity.

>>112004123
This page is pretty normal by Togashi's standards.
>>112003963
Goreinu was such a breath of fresh air during the Greed Island arc. He has a simple design and wasn't introduced as particularly important and yet he was both competent and rational. Like he didn't know in what kind of manga he was before teaming up with two crazy kids, their granny trainer and their pedophile clown stalker.

But he redraws pretty much everything for the tanks.

All according to plan...
>>112004847
Yup, the first part of Zetman is ending in a couple of chapters (1 or 2). Then Katsura will continue in a second part some time later. Twenty years for just the first part. I am hyped as shit. This particular scene you are talking about happened in chapter 220, it's like the culmination of the first part. It's the same scene as the beginning of the series.

>>112004987
Honestly I can't think of any of Nihei's works that don't look amazing
>>112005014
I had high hopes for Zetman but I find there's something off about the pacing and story telling. Like it fails to build suspense and it ends up slow and fragmented for the purpose of wasting time. I don't know if it's just me.

>>112000339
>>112004987
Sidonia art is different from the other Nihei works, but that's also because as whole it's a different manga.
If you compare it to Blame (first Nihei work) the theme is similar (shreds of mankind struggling to survive) but Sidonia is much less "oppressive". It's also much more streamlined and simple in terms of exposition and storytelling (for Nihei standards at least: Sidonia can still be a little hard to follow at times if you don't pay attention to details), there is like 10 times the amount of explanations and dialogue.
The art has changed to be more fitting, given these differences, and it's not like is bad in Sidonia - it's just "lighter" than Blame or Biomega because the whole manga is like that.
>>112005226
It's the inconsistent scanlation. I've been reading the raws every month and the past year or so every chapter has been huge hypefest, it's unreal. And the story is in a super interesting stage at the moment.
>>112005014
>It's the same scene as the beginning of the series
Yeah. That's why I thought the series might have reached its end.
I won't say it's the best, but I fucking love Kouta Hirano's artstyle.

It may not be the best, but it does a lot of things right with facial expressions and making all the genitalia abuse really gruesome

>>112005663
I like how Nihei used to draw people with legitimate downs in BLAME!
>>112006497
If you want lazy and shit, there's only the master himself, ONE.
>>112003657
>>112003487
I like this, but the face of the protagonist looks so incredibly stupid. It's all angular, and looks like a completely different art style that's been slapped onto the page.
>>112006395
Always and forever.
>>112006776
All part of Nihei's charm
Any other Dorohedoro fans
I personally can't get enough of the artists style
>>112007024
Yeah, I was really suprised when I found out she's a woman. Apparently she was Nihei's assistant at one point too.
>>112005932
Beat me to it.
It's debatable whether he's the best artist in all manga, but I don't doubt for a second that he's the best panelist.
>>112000308
its too bad his shitty daughter is a shitty fujoshit that prefers the shitty SnK shit
>>112004326
>The Doge's Galley
That God Damn Inu.
>>112007100
she can't seem to draw faces really well in my opinion, but everything else looks really cool, even though it can sometimes be hard to tell what's going on
>>112005958
He can draw some pretty cute girls, they tend to be a bit samefacey but not always.
But then he still fails at elementary stuff like ears, hands and even chins sometimes to be considered one of the best.
>>112004554
Because little kids don't buy manga for the detailed art, theu buy it for explosions. Most artists styles are probably killed by wanting to make money. Horror writers can ignore that though, and still have a built in audience.
Also, if you can't hear the scream, you better be able to see it on their face.
A few artists I like:
Sakamoto Shinichi (Kokou no Hito)
Sakurai Gamon (Ajin)
Inabe Kazu (Apocalypse no toride)
Fung Chin Pang (CAT)
Yugo Yuuki (Wolf Guy, Akumetsu)
Chen Mou (The Ravages of Time)
>>112007100
>Apparently she was Nihei's assistant at one point too.
I always knew she was a woman, but I never knew that
I wonder how hard it would have been to be Nihei's assistant, imagine having to draw every single window in this image
>>112005663
I like his derpy faces. I actually consider them a pro to his work instead of a con.
>>112007448
I don't like it.
Masamune Shirow can handle both beautiful machinery and girls.
>>112002307
yeah, a lot of manga artist tak inspiration from european artist, moebius was another great influence to manga
Soul Eater had brief moments of awesome.
>>112006792
ONE is lazy, but he's not shit when he tries.
>>112007630
No, then he's barely decent.
>>112007288
>ears, hands
Ever tried drawing them to be anatomically correct? It's hard as hell even for pros.
>chins
A little easier, but manga tends to subdue them to make them look softer and "cuter"
I don't think anything has been posted that beats Vagabond yet. Murata and Miura are great, and their style's match their series better than Inoue's would, but Vagabond comes across as art rather than feats of skill or the brutal intensity Berserk is known for.
Honorable mention to Yabuki
>>112007100
I think that is unsubstantiated rumor. That's she was Nihei's assistant not that she's a woman.

He's average when he has assistants. His action always has good flow too despite the shitty drawing.
>>112007696
Sure, it's hard. But when the ears look as uncanny like this it's a bit too much to go unnoticed.
Granted he messed up here, it's usually not this bad.
>>112007609
Shit, I was going for a madness moment
I won't say it's the best, but I've always liked Yotsuba's art.
Here he comes.

>>112008150
I always liked the general style. It's obviously far from being one of the best art around, but it's so soothing and comfy.

>>112007699
I don't understand why TLR Darkness gets mentioned so rarely in those threads.
No one can draw the girls as well as Yabuki, that's why he's called "god" by fans in Japan.

the chinese also have a lot of well drawn manga, like ravages of time

>I don't understand why TLR Darkness gets mentioned so rarely in those threads.
We are all too distracted from the art thanks to the SUPER INTERESTING story
>>112009877
>>112008578
I dunno. The backgrounds in the more recent chapters could definitely give some of the better series a run for their money.
In terms of improvement in the art over the course of the series I think it's easily in the top 5.

You are dumb the pyramid doesn't need to be in perfect perspective, it hardly need any perspective at all. Unless you are talking about the road, but it just freehand. Nothing in the picture is really difficult to draw except maybe the little dots as the grassland/desert area.

>>112010028
I think most of the improvement has been in the character designs. Everyone seems much more life-like and full of expression now than they did before. Also Yotsuba doesn't look like Chiyo-chan anymore.
If manwha counts, then The Breaker may be one of the best.
Not sure if it's the -best- though, looking through the others in the thread.
>>112013589
If manhwa counted, there's literally hundred of better ones.
Some might say Tower of God, for example.
>>112013463
Let's be honest here, the guy just wants to draw his waifu. She's in all his works.
>>111999970

>>112011584
Know what you're talking about before incessantly spouting nonsense. The triangle and the blocks on it aren't hard at all but the perspective for the platform it's on as well as the outer circle will take quite some time. It's one thing to draw an ellipse but to maintain the established perspective on both sets of ellipses and it be correct. The road and everything else is easy mode if you actually knew anything. Now fuck off.
>>112013661
There are better examples but Tower of God is not one of them
>>112010611
>>112013839
>Sun Ken Rock is a manga

>>112010611
>>112014202
>>112014077
No, it easy if you knew how to draw. I'm not saying that he drew the ellipse free hand, but it super easy with a ruler. But yes the shading is done on the computer.

Anybody has something like that for Hellsing? Hirano's art leveled up a lot through the years, it'd be nice to see on a clear chart
>>112014619
Honestly, I just picked the first page of the first chapter because I liked the theme (and I was too lazy to look for a defining moment) but it's pretty consistently good throughout.
Definitely not good enough to contend for "best art", but we moved well past that point to "just general good art" and even into "bog standard" a hundred posts ago.
>>112014559
I like how these Korean webtoons are so smooth to read. They finish quicker and the transition between scenes is easy.
Which online reader provides vertical scrolling btw? Batoto did but all Naver stuff was pulled off the site recently.
>>112014806
None that I know of, unfortunately. I pulled this page off mangareader, but later chapters are chopped in pieces I believe.
>>112014806
I recommend reading Webtoons on a device like the Nexus 7 or some other tablet it makes it much easier than on a PC

Huge fan of Tsugumomo. His girls are all so fucking impossibly cute! And the lewd, of coure, is top notch.
The mangaka has a ton of great videos where you can watch him design, draw, and render scenes and stuff. It's really cool to watch how he works.
He uses sketch-up a lot, and it IS all digital, but 99.9% of working mangaka use at least some form of digital assistance to draw their manga. I don't think it really detracts from the art at all. It still takes a ton of skill. It's just a different skill set, (which they have learned on top of already finely honed traditional drawing skill).
As far as best art, I couldn't say. Some artists I am enjoying right now for stylistic or sheer skill appeal include Nihei, Asano, Hiramoto Akira, Hiroaki Samura... Shit, too many great artists to name. Everything posted ITT has its undeniable strong points.
>>112014806
Download it and read it on CDisplay or get a javascript script.
>>112015387
That's because it moved to a monthly magazine. It's about the same length in volumes as the others, I think.

But for your information drawing digital isn't really easier than drawing by hand. It just faster to clean if you make mistakes. Most animators still use paper because it not really any faster if you are professional and don't make mistakes. Coloring on the other hand that is done digitally is mostly because it is more cost efficiently than buying copic markers or color ink.

I'm kind of amazed by the fact that the use of digital tools (to make/animate in 2D, not 3D shit) haven't become more popular among anime studios.
Especially after some quite great examples like YZQ, which was absurdly good looking and well animated - especially considered to the budget it had.
>>112014979
How do artist draw magic circles? Doesn't it get trying when they have to draw it every single time. I know some are CGI/digital, but where do they get the letters from? As in do they make it up on the spot or is it some kind of ancient language?

>>112007263
I see her style as being closer to older artists. Otomo circa Akira, for example. It looks sort of off when compared to a lot of "modern" manga art, but to me it has a sort of nostalgic charm to it that makes it more appealing.
I didn't know she had been Nihei's assistant, but it totally makes sense, looking at their styles I can see his influence in her stuff.
>>112014369
Holy fuck you're delusional if you think those are helpful when figuring out proper perspective for a circle. Just stop. You've made it very clear you have no idea what you're talking about. If you're an actual artist, I suggest you read more books on perspective and start drawing more. Because you have a LONG way to go.
>>112002217
Holy shit i've seen this image so many times,why have i never noticed this.
I've always liked Takei's art. He has the same style as Oda (the truly black, completely filled clothes and not a lot of greytones) and some other Jump mangakas, just slightly more detailed when it needs to be and not inherently comical. His mecha designs (X-laws, Jumbor and Ultimo) are really neat to. It always gets kinda confusing and detailed but he never goes the all the way movie-poster tier like Oh!Great.
A guy who aspired to be a mangaka and was drawing all day in high-school claimed Shaman King was all done by hand (bar KZB). This one is with the PC level-up.
Haven't seen it posted yet, but Witchcraft Works consistently looks amazing and is always filled with subtle details in the art
>>112001539

>>112015967
God, that is an awful cliche to use, isn't it? Sorry. Making a note to purge that from my writing. Seriously.
On the other hand though, your point is exactly what I was saying.
>I don't think it really detracts from the art at all.
Maybe I worded it clumsily though, I haven't slept in a long time.
>>112017719
>delusional
You sure like this word.
I like how you are attacking me with no regards on what I said wrong. Assuming you are the same poster as this >>112001192, I'm just trying to say that there would be no point in using 3d models when murata is capable of drawing things much harder than that. I'm not sure why we are even talking about the perspective, but it not really as hard as you make it out to be. You are talking about these lines right?
Suehiro Maruo in general has a really great art style

>>112006330
ONE does have extremely great human anatomy so he is a good artist.
That excuse does not work though, most mangaka can do better if they try. I would say almost all of them could. Part of being a great mangaka that separates it from artist is that they have to pump out a certain amount of pictures in a week or whatever time it is. Laziness and quickness are a deciding factor.
>>112021230
He probably likes the recurring exaggerated faces for the characters which I admit is pretty interesting.
>>112021825
Yeah it looks nice, but overall I think the art is really average and doesn't really have a unique style so I just can't imagine someone saying that it's their favourite
>>112005067
Innocent is so great, I assume you read his mountain climbing manga too? The art (or scans maybe?) start pretty shitty but they become so beautiful in the second or third volume. It is probably my favorite and I am disgusted at myself for putting off reading it for so long because of the lackluster synopsis.
