Who is your favorite mangaka and why?
I'm interested in hearing from you guys since there seems to be a lot of debate in comments of different manga, pertaining to the mangaka.
So, I'll go first. Mine would have to be, after a lot of consideration, Harada-sensei.
I know; odd.
The reason I like her so much is not for the dark theme (in fact, I typically avoid dark like the plague), but I can't stay away from her work and she's one of my go-to mangaka when I don't know what to read. Will avoid some of her work? Yes (Nii-chan, comes to mind).
But I think the main reason why love her work so much is that she is best, as far as I've experienced, at expressing just raw, intense emotion. Example in point, the scene in Yatamomo where Momo has a break down and is just bawling his eyes out. It was the first time that I felt the pain of the protagonist rather than just watching it.
But all in all, this raw energy and emotion is the reason why I love Harada-sensei.
My favorite mangaka would be kyuugou- sensei, why you ask?
Well, aside from the fact that one of her works 'acid town' was the reason why I got so hooked up on shounen ai and yaoi, her art and STORY, PLOT ETC. is just one of the best.
You guys should definitely check out her works if you want to laugh, cry, or just ride with an emotional roller ...... reply
Hmmmm I gotta go with either Yamamori Mika (here are some of the art):
Or possibly Hinohara Meguru

Or maybe Eiji nagisa/NAGISA Eiji

haji. the stories are fun and queer, and the range of characters drawn can appeal to a sum of different preferences including himbo lovers, old men lovers, femboy lovers, demihuman/monster lovers, etc. but a lot of the time the stories have an actual plot, and the fact that the main characters are gay is more of an aside/added bonus. very much a "s...... 2 reply
I don't really have a favorite mangaka. But if I had to choose, I'd say I enjoy the works of Yamamori Mika. I like the art style and the way of story-telling, I also enjoy that (the works I've read) aren't too predictable, cliche and that the characters behave in a more realistic way. reply
I love Hana Hasumi that has made Remnant Kemonohito and Ayane Ukyou that has made the Kuroneko Kareshi series!!
They both just have such beautiful art styles ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄ reply
Absolutely Harada. Hands down. But I also agree with Hinohara Meguru, and I'll add Scarlet Beriko. I also like the Mangakas of Candy Colour Paradox and Neko x Neko for some fun fluff. reply
Harada, absolutely. Her works are very interesting, the stories, together with the art, just make it even more perfect. Unlike most people, the only Harada's work that I trie to stay away from is Yoru to Asa no Yuta. I don't hate it, but (for me, personally) It's far from being in the same level as her other works like Yatamomo (that's a masterpiec...... reply
