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
