>Great manga artists were the topic of Charapedia’s latest fan poll! 10,000 fans participating in the poll and voted for a variety of modern and retro artists. A majority of the artists chosen worked on shounen manga, but there are a couple of seinen and josei artists.
I can't even remotely begin to comprehend how this list came to be. It looks like a popularity contest to some extent, and at the same time it doesn't.

Fujoshis were a mistake

Akira Amano should be higher

>10. Hajime Isayama – SnK (254 votes)
?
His art looks like shit
Ian Mitchell
You can really tell the sample demographic of this poll is mainly composed of females.
Which surprises me since I don't think females would be interested in One Piece given the art style but somehow it came out as number 2.
Might consider putting Takayuki Yamaguchi, Takeshi Obata, Akira Toriyama, Ken Ishikawa, Go Nagai and Tetsuya Chiba in some order after those lot.

Don't cherry pick you faggot.
When he isn't on a pain binge his art is better than some there. Its better than OP and Gintama for sure
Levi Stewart

that chapter is purposefully drawn in that style. obviously he can be a lazy shit and this list is horrible in the first place, but him not being able to draw is a meme
Liam Sanders

Oh man, I'm gonna enjoy all the salt from this ranking list.
There it is. Well deserved.

IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT ART, PEOPLE. IT'S ABOUT THE WHOLE PACKAGE: ART, WRITING, DESIGN, ETC.
The list elected mangakas, not just illustrators. Stop talking only about drawing skills.
Landon Fisher
>Oda NOT making it
Say what you will about One Piece, it's pretty amazing that he's been drawing it for all those years with barely any breaks and the quality hasn't taken a nosedive like the vast, vaast majority of other long-running series.
Brandon Perry
This is what threw me off. Even Isayama admits his art is terrible.
Dylan Powell

>Yuki Midorikawa Nice.
Wyatt Miller
>pain binge You mean when he's being a lazy fuck. Why should he be considered a good artist when he doesn't even put effort into his work? Stop sucking his cock.
Carson Sullivan
>the quality hasn't taken a nosedive Ha ha oh wow
The word "artists" is in the poll's title for a reason you dip. Not mangaka or manga authors. Manga artists.
Asher Rodriguez
This.
Luke Turner
Somehow that makes the list even worse than if it was just about art. It's like the japs have never even read manga before.
Ian Sanchez
Do you know what a nosedive is, fucktard? See: Naruto and Bleach for obvious examples
Ryder Rodriguez
>muh JoJo
Blake Diaz
That makes Isayama being up there even worse.
Mason Hill
Only people who genuinely have no fucking clue about art think Togashi is bad at it. Even the best artists can be lazy (or physically incapable due to health) and publish a scribble on occasion, but only good comic artists have his grasp of composition and flow. His technical skill is good too, it's not like anyone has criticisms about his anatomy or perspective or anything like that. People just see low effort first drafts and think it's bad because it doesn't look like Berserk.

Daniel Cook
>The word "artists" is in the poll's title for a reason you dip. Not mangaka or manga authors. Manga artists. What? A writer is also an artist. A singer is also an artist. Art does not only correspond to the plastic part.
Plus: in the original poll it is written "mangaka".
Isaac Allen
This is just a fucking list of manga in order of popularity.
Any list that doesn't have Masanori Morita in the top 5 at least is immediately not worth looking at
Too many people credit artists who put out a lot of mediocre or shit work just because their best stuff is amazing, but Morita was always consistent for like thirty years of serializations and always top notch in his spreads and covers

This. I hope that trash ends already. It's the only filth left tainting Jump.
Benjamin Powell
Uh, the quality has taken a huge nosedive, as a huge One Piece fan who still follows the series, I can assure you I do not read it for the art, if I didn't love the series, I couldn't even recommend it to anyone for its current art
The years of amazing stuff was already hundreds of chapters ago
Jonathan Cook
>huge nosedive This is a hyperbole and you know it.
Decline? Yes. Huge nosedive decline? No.
Gavin Peterson
Of course, because Sup Forumsnimes and m/a/ngas have no soundtrack and no plot.

Andrew Morris
>The word "artists" is in the poll's title for a reason you dip. Not mangaka No, it literally says mangaka. Blame OP or whatever English source he got this from.
Owen Morris
Bkub > all
Cooper Campbell
The poll is about "mangaka" as a whole, not just their quality as an artist. The English headline translated "mangaka" as "manga artist" which is half of what a mangaka is.
Though, knowing the nature of your post you will most definitely post something like "HURRR THE STORY IS SHIT TOO WAN PISS FAG" because you have decided to just blindly shit on it no matter what.
Isaiah Roberts
The Japanese have shit taste
This list is just awful

Nathan Anderson
There may be a masterpiece among manga which is not translated. If Sangoku Hiroko's work has been translated... If Suzuki sensei has been translated...
Aaron Powell
Not a chance. Togashi in his prime doesn't even approach Oda in his prime. Oda is heavily stylized but he's a fantastic artist overall and not just in technical ability but with composition, balance, flow he's very good.
Evan Sullivan
>Mikazuki Who?
John Butler
Moirta is the undisputed GOAT. People need to realise this. There's almost nothing that any manga artists can do that much better than him.
Not surprising since he was the assistant to the former GOAT Tetsuo Hara.
Even if that is the case, that list is still total fucking shit. No one in their right minds would say Gintama is the best manga of all time in terms of anything, art, story, comedy, whatever.
Jacob Mitchell
Damn, hope that bitch returns soon, only that panel made my dick rock hard
David Barnes
>No one in their right minds would say Gintama is the best manga of all time in terms of anything, art, story, comedy, whatever.
B-b-but it's #1 on MAL!

Is this one of those jokes where people filled the number one spot with a joke vote. The gintama manga looks so bad, comparatively speaking.
Dominic Lewis
>3. Sui Ishida – Tokyo Ghoul (539 votes) Sasuga nips. Two nukes.
Tyler Harris
Joking and trolling aside, what is wrong with these people. Is it that they have only read 4 or so manga in their lives, or they just highly rate everything they read. Or maybe people have a hard time differentiating their favourite manga from an 'objective' opinion about what the best manga ever is. For example, Fist of the North STar is my favourite manga of all time by miles, but I don't think it's the best manga ever made (but it is up there).
It's also sad that this list didn't appreciate Hara's incredible art. How the fuck did someone put out shit like this on a weekly basis.
Carson Sanders
>no bleach >no kengan ashura
Wyatt Lopez
user, I see you flipping out over Morita all the time, and it's great that you like him so much and all, but let's not start with this "he's the best at everything, everyone needs to understand that!" shit. He couldn't do Blame, he couldn't do Takemitsu Zamurai, he couldn't do BotI, etc. He's excellent at what he does, but he's not some sort of master-of-all-trades superman.
Ethan Price
...
Samuel White
Not that guy but to be fair, none of those people could do what he does either
Obviously, you can't objectively rate artists because they all do different stuff but Morita does have the quality, quantity and consistency that is pretty much impossible to find in manga, there's people who will be better than him at all three but you'll struggle to find someone better at all three put together
Asher Brown
Would that shading have been done with charcoal or ink wash, or something else?
Eli Moore

Andrew Powell

Asher Thompson
>to be fair, none of those people could do what he does either I agree. What I'm taking issue with isn't that he likes Morita the most, it's the hyperbolic way he's playing him up with "There's almost nothing that any manga artists can do that much better than him," which is just not true.
Nathan Garcia
Where is Samura?
Andrew Butler
murata..?
Jeremiah Lee
>at the same time it doesn't What part of this doesn't look like a popularity contest to you?

No one likes a lazy piece of shit. I don't know how on god's green earth togashi got on this list. His work ethic sucks ass.

One Piece's art is utter crap and nothing you say will change this basic fact
