Personally I think Urasawa Naoki is the best mangaka because he is prolific, consistent, a strong storyteller, and a profoundly good artist with an instantly recognizable style. But maybe you think someone else is better at creating manga and want to share your thoughts. Great news! I made a thread for you to discuss those thoughts in. Set sail for fun!

It’s dang near impossible to say who my favorite it is but I have a couple that I think are top tier. Ryoko Kui, author of Dungeon Meshi and a number of anthologies is really good. She creates settings and characters with real charm and wonder, and her art is gorgeous. Satoshi Mizukami is another of my favorites. His best work is, imo, Spirit Circle, but Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer and Sengoku Youko are also really good. He’s also done a number of pretty good anthologies. His stuff is more offbeat and his art style is different but he always has a really unique approach to the themes he works with. Yellow Tanabe is my final name, they made Kekkaishi and Birdmen, which are really good and criminally underrated. Unfortunately the team that was scanlating Birdmen has dropped of the face of the Earth so I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to finish it. Tanabe’s works have really strong world building and big casts or very interesting characters trying to change a world much bigger than them

Definitely going to have to add those works to the pile. Dungeon Meshi is of course phenomenal and its unique concept/exploration of fantasy tropes has been super influential. I feel like there must be at least a half dozen mangas of varying quality running currently that owe Dungeon Meshi a lot of credit (and I also think the overall creativity of Dungeon Meshi may have helped cleared the path for the explosion of isekai that currently pollutes manga).

Urasawa is real good, 20th+21st Century Boys, Monster, and Pluto are great. Asano Inio is also really good, Oyasumi Punpun is perfect and Solanin and It's a Wonderful World were also good. Need to read other stuff by them.

Asano was probably the first that came to mind for me. Also ONE.

Yoshihiro Togashi and Mitsuru Adachi are two personal favorites of mine, although Togashi wins it for not being obsessed with incest-like relationships.

It doesn't really get more mainstream than this, but I'd go with Akira Toriyama. He had great fight choreography in his panels, told an obviously enthralling story, and I like that he was able (and willing) to recognize that he wasn't going to be able to out-do Dragonball and just kind of kept chipping in on that here and there while transitioning into cashing fat checks to design characters for things like Dragon Quest. I'd consider Akasaka Aka to be the best in the romance manga category, he's found the perfect mix of romance and comedy and it always captivates me. Kaguya is the manga release I look forward to the most week to week right now.

Kentaro Miura. The man who writes Berserk. Hes successfully released two chapters this year and everyones really happy that coronavirus has had no impact on his schedule. Srsly though, his work at its best is absolutely top tier fantasy horror. We will not speak of his other work, which is divisive at best. McGrady posted:Go Nagai because he creates what he loves: sexy violence I've become a big Go Nagai fan since watching crybaby, having seen the original OVAs at far too young an age.

I think yuri manga is the best so here are two yuri manga authors I like: Milk Morinaga has that stereotypical incredibly sweet and soft school yuri romance genre covered. Girl Friends is great, but she also drew a bunch of other shorter manga. Takemiya Jin's yuri manga is more serious in tone (including addressing actual LGBT topics) and also way more diverse in its cast (that's right, yuri manga not with teenagers exists).

Kind of a cliché answer but there's a reason Osamu Tezuka is so well regarded. While in America he's mainly known for stuff like Astro Boy or Black Jack I would recommend his works from the 70s when he focused on the darker side of the human condition. Ode to Kirihito a young doctor at a prestigious hospital tries to navigate the politics of medicine and is sent to an isolated village where there's an outbreak of a mysterious disease that turns people into animals. MW Michio Yuki lives a double life. By day he's a rising star at his job as a banker, by night he kidnaps people for ransom and then kills both the person he kidnaps and the victim who pays the ransom. The motivations for his actions stretch back 15 years to an isolated island shortly after the end of the war. For more modern stuff I'm a big fan of Makoto Yukimura. Planetes is just straight up one of my favorite manga and his ongoing series, The Vinland Saga, is also really good. Planetes is cool for its realistic depictions of the dangers of space travel.
