Objectively the best art in Manga

At least Berserk is updating.

It's funny.

Inoue is so good at so many things.

Then he tries to draw a fight scene and you realize that Samura makes him look like a child.

If Samura bothered to put half as much work into his manga as he did into his torture porn, there wouldn't even be an argument.

Vagabond is overrated. Read the better best art samurai manga.

I like Vagabond but I think the actual book Musashi is the better read so far as that story goes.

>I think the actual book Musashi is the better read so far as that story goes.
Wow, someone else has this same view as me.

Musashi in Vagabond, although very humane, is nothing like the real Musashi either. If you read the book of seven rings, you can tell that Musashi was a very pragmatic man, who won because he only trained endlessly and use every possible way to win. His famous double sword is a literal representation of his philosophy.
>why have one small sword that you don't use hidden the entire fight? Use everything at your disposal

Like, he went to fight some legendary fighter called the Monster of the East, or something, (it's the deaf guy in Vagabond) who had a long sword and waited an hour for Musashi to come. Musashi came late with nothing but a wooden stick and beat his to death.
Musashi, in his book, talks about not making fancy dances or other shit, just focus on being the best and quickest while sharpening your skills.

In the manga, you get nothing of that feeling. He's just humane and that's all there is to him.
Boring.

It's very detailed, but don't call it realistic. That just makes you look like a 'tard, since it's quite obviously still rather stylized. Realism doesn't look like that at all.

it's hyper realistic in terms of a manga/comic.
You're being a tard for not realizing that.

"HUURR DURRR DOESN'T LOOK VERY REALISTIC TO ME"

The reason it doesn't reach hyper-realistic levels you'd see in drawings or paintings is because it's not one image, the mangaka has to draw pages upon pages of this stuff.

You've got to view it in a manga setting.
Innocent is by far the most realistic it has ever gotten in a manga.

Doesn't he use photos to make his backgrounds, textures etc rather than just drawing them? In which case it's about as realistic as black and white art can get. And if not, he's just crazy skilled.

But what I love most about Innocent is how he mixes in unrealistic/fantasy elements too for the sake of symbolism, it looks great. I like it a lot more than KnH, which was so dark it was sometimes difficult to see the details clearly.

Then you should have qualified it in the first place by saying "[...] for a comic". I'm more than aware of the limitations of having a deadline for art, my man. Anyway, the image you posted (and the manga in general) exagerates lighting very heavily to make use of the natural qualities of black & white contrast. This by itself is enough to differentiate it from art attempting to be realistic by instead trying to be larger-than-life, more dramatized. The proportions and stylization of anatomical details and such IS relatively realistic (excluding the lips) relative to most other comics, I'll give you that.

You should probably not go mouthing off at me for making a mistake that you yourself made. Also stop strawmanning people's arguments by typing it in caps with a bunch of HURRRs as if they're a loud autist, since again, it makes you look like a 'tard.

>>143728891
There's videos on youtube (I can't find them now) that show either him or an assistant of his drawing a background. They just used 3d assets and drew over them. They might use photos as well, I don't know, but I'd assume it's a similar case as with Asano where he's using them to reach higher levels of detail rather than as a lazy shortcut.

>>143729134
>Also stop strawmanning people's arguments by typing it in caps with a bunch of HURRRs as if they're a loud autist, since again, it makes you look like a 'tard.

Kiyoushirou Inoue and Daisuke Igarashi are both unquestionably better than Inoue or Miura.

>>143721395
Let me gues. You saw people shit on the new movie, so you throught everyone hates Berserk? That7s the contrary. Everyone is angry because this manga deserved the best Japan can do. But Vagabond? That's a dead manga people sometimes speak about because it was good very....VERY long ago.
Berserk has done as good, and even better, largely better. Its world scale only is so huge Vagabond looks like a 50 pages light novel.
The art style is excellent, and the atmosphere was immersive, but what about originality? Innovation? Research? Development of every single detail or character?
Don't make me laugh.

Varies person to person, but mostly dedication. Most of the examples in this thread have been drawing for decades to get to the point where they're putting out what's being posted, but you'll be able to draw stuff of comparable quality within 5 years with dedication.

What makes their art good isn't so much what you're seeing, it's that they're able to draw them in a few hours in order to meet deadlines, and they're able to do that consistently for years on end.

It's even crazier the more you know Chinese. I say this as someone who is not even half baked as Chinese, but more like quick minute dinged in a microwave baked at Chinese. Just that little knowledge alone from like two months of chink class years ago for language studies made me appreciate those pages so much more and I'm sure I missed 90% of it.

The guy may not be able to claim he created something original, but when it comes to adaptations this guy is off the charts. And to top it off unlike most mangaka in this thread, he didn't start out as one or thought about being one. The guy was a graphics designer working in marketing and just got bored one day watching wuxia and xianxia films and said to himself "I can do better than that" and the rest is history. The guy did it literally because he was fed up with mediocrity.

Innocent whatever you think of the art, the truth is the story is just boring melodrama

>>143721395
Always thought Nausicaa had sublime art.

>>143730726
I don't know I thought the scans were mostly decent at the start, it was a 2010 series in China after all I don't even think they had giant scans back then for the early volumes.

Early groups like Fiftay do a good job if you are like me and know enough that you can fill in, but I imagine that the lack of Chinese would make those early volumes grueling. Hell for me it was practically a revision course where I go "Hey, I know that word, ohhh I get it."

The golden age is definitely when HMK picked it up, they were basically Turnip Farmers on Kingdom. Merc still translates to this day, but the hole left by Ki Shodar who did proof reading, redrawing, editing, typesetting, etc etc was pretty big and also that Merc stopped buying the volumes making redrawing for Yudy a lot harder.

Then when you think about how Hox scanlated Sangokushi by himself, you gotta wonder if there's something in common with people who translate chink shit and being hyper competent on the clock.

I do wish it was more like Sangokushi, Kingdom, etc where they actually had pages where they showed the maps though, since navigating Baidu for threads connecting the various maps and events is harder than my day job.

For a while the scans were great, but they were pretty LQ and hard to understand at the start. Now they're terrible, there is no fucking excuse for the comic sans. Shit is fucking cancer to the eyes.

>>143731093
Yeah cause Merc stopped buying volumes, and therefore the scans are at the mercy of chinks at baidu themselves. And the guy replacing Ki Shodar only took it up cause no one else would.

The comic sans is mostly Yudy being hyper clueless and new at everything. That he a 3rd world nammer who barely knows English and only took up photoshop for Ravages is the only person willing to help Merc says a lot about the situation.

But then again I guess I'm more grateful since I'm even more clueless than he is at scanlations. I don't even know all the functions of MSPaint.

The best manga art I've ever seen. It's simply perfect in every way and has a dynamism that some of the other manga in this thread lack and I say that as a huge fan of Berserk and Vagabond. I haven't even read it but the artwork is off the charts.

miura is somewhat overrated

>>143738231
that's not really the way to put it, but igarashi's "looseness" is just a little too loose imo. drawing like inoue is a bit harder than drawing like igarashi, as igarashi's style is simpler and easier to maintain.
for example, kiyoshirou style is "loose" as well, but his is also incredibly dynamic and hard to draw. (not to say that igarashi's is easy)

igarashi is more like tsuruta kenji in terms of technical level i guess.
they are still better than a lot of other mangaka (art wise), but not inoue.

it's probably a bit subjective, but eh.

That's not really a line of thinking I think is conducive to art criticism. Thinking on how much effort the artist put in or how difficult the drawing was pushes you into dangerous territory of speculation and assumption.

>>143725414

>>143735271
The Shigurui anime was perfect.
The sparsity made it even better by showing how quick the fights would be in reality. In the manga, the fights took awhile, because of all the keikaku. In the anime, you see the whole thing with any narrations and it's amazing.

>>143740700
well in art it's really hard to tell "who is better?" when both artists are competent and professional. that's why i only judge based on who is more technically skilled.
but yeah you're right. this can be dangerous. when i try to define it my logic becomes kind of wonky.

but then again i don't see any other way around it. every other way is even more subjective.
that being said, comparing great artists to each other is retarded anyway.

As far as art goes I find it much more impressive when artists manage to find an iconic style that's instantly recognizable, even if it's a simple minimalist one.

>>143753236
Because it takes more work/time, and /a/ is obsessed with the idea that effort is quality.

>>143753236
It's more about fitting the tone. I can pick details out of a single panel of berserk for example for a minute or more at a time. I can scroll past what you posted and get pretty much everything I need out of it, but that's fine if the dialogue is the focus or whatever.

There's no discussion, no monologue, just BAM, and death. The anime feels brutal and realistic as though you were there yourself while the manga is told more as a historical feat where the reader can see what happened.

It's perfect.

Of course it's about fitting the tone. I'm not arguing that Berserk isn't well-drawn.

My question is why every time there's a thread like this it's always shit like Berserk and Vagabond that gets posted immediately, instead of manga with more stylized art.
>>143753278 was an fine answer.

>>143753807
What I was trying to convey is that you're more likely to spend time looking at the detail pieces so you're more likely to remember them. I really enjoy YKK for example, but I spent less time looking at the panels so I would probably think of something like Berserk or Vinland Saga first.

/a/ has no fucking clue about art. As in, the actual concept of art itself, they know less than most high school students learn in their first art lesson (because I distinctly remember learning straight off the bat that it's hard to even define art). As a result, they have an insanely limited idea of what makes it good or bad. It has to be detailed, clean and realistic or apparently it's no good, regardless of how effectively it conveys the story.

>>143735119
What's manga is that from? Googles giving me nothing

>>143753278
>/a/ is obsessed with the idea that effort is quality.
I've noticed this, too, and not just for art but also for stories/content. Anons really do tend to fixate on the process behind a thing (how hard it is, how much talent it would require, whether the creators got lucky or "earned" it, etc.) rather than just judging on the effect/end product.

What? Not only was the story great, but he was an asshole and I don't think the manga disagreed. The pedophilia didn't even factor into it, honestly - he was just an all-around dick, with a couple redeeming aspects that still didn't redeem him enough to keep him from being killed off. Are you just an SJW annoyed by a pedophile having some positive traits, or what?

>>143756297
What redeemable qualities? His only quality was that he loved a 10 year old girl, and I'm not even sure you can call loving someone a positive character trait. The dude was an asshole and had shown no relatable traits and then at his death the author made it seem like it was the saddest thing, when he failed building his character to be even remotely likable. The worldbuilding and artstyle were great, he just had too much focus and was a bad character, and not only because he was a pedo.
