Manga Favorite Manga-Ka?

For those who don't know,a Manga-ka is a manga creator.Who are some of your favorites?Mine are:

Mitsuru Adachi(Short Program)
Ken Akamatsu(Love Hina)
CLAMP(Chobits)
Akira Toriyama(Dragonball)

And for those of you that have not read Adachi's Short Program,I STRONGLY recommend that you do.It's an absolute masterpiece!
You can buy a copy from Viz's Shop-By-Mail Catalog for about $15.
I also heard that he's making a Short Program 2!I can't wait!

 

which one...

I love so many! So i'll say:
CLAMP - Magic Knight rayearth, Cardcaptor Sakura, Wish, Chobits, Angelic Layer, X/1999
Yuri Harushima - Planet Ladder
Wataru Yoshizumi - Marmalade boy, Random Walk
I have more but those are my fav. right now! My ABSOLUTE favorite though is CLAMP! They have so much and so good!

 

Takahashi Rumiko (Inuyasha, Ranma 1/2) and Minekura Kazuya (Gensomaden Saiyuki, Wild Adapter) are tied for my favorites, with Yuu Watase (Fushigi Yuugi, Ayashi no Ceres) a close second.

 

Hmm... I like Akira Toriyama(do I really have to say?), Yuu Watase (FY, Ayashi, Alice), Rumiko Takahashi (Maison Ikkou, Ranma 1/2, InuYasha), Eiichiro Oda(One Piece), Yuri Narushima (Planet Ladder), and CLAMP (huh, here goes: Clover, Angelic Layer, Chobits, X, Rayearth, CCS, Wish, Tokyo Babylon)...and this isn't anime, but Jhonen Vasquez (Johnny the Homicidal Maniac)

 

I cant believe no one mentioned:


Katsuhiro Otomo(Akira)
Masamune Shirow(Ghost in the Shell)
Osamu Tezuka(Astro Boy,Metropolis,Pheonix)

 

Koisuke Fujishima - Ah Megasima (Oh! My Goddess), You are Under Arrest...

Akira Toriyama - Dragon ball

 

Ken Akamatsu for his outstanding love hina.
CLAMP, always a pleasure, never a chore.
Masakazu Katsura, I"s, DNA^2, Video Girl Ai. He cool.

 

I think my two favorite would have to be Rumiko Takahashi (Ranma 1/2 and others) and Yu Watase (Fushigi Yugi and others). There is certainly other mangas I like but not sure if I would say that the manga-ka's of those works would be my favorite.

 

The ever-so venerable CLAMP-tachi [X], Watase Yuu [Ayashi no Ceres], Yuki Kaori [Angel Sanctuary], and Matsushita Youko [Yami no Matsuei] are among my favorites...

 

My new favorite manga-ka is Takaya Natsuki the creator of Fruits Basket!

 

id have to throw my vote in for Ken Akamatsu as well, love hina is fantastic :dizzy2:

 

My Top favs: (not in any order of preference)
Masakazu Katsura
Yuu Watase
CLAMP
Rumiko Takahashi
Takaya Natsuki

 

Maki Murakami: Gravitation, Gamerz Heaven, & Kimi no Unajini Kanpai

My favorite artists:

Otsuka Tomy(Slayers Special and Knight of Aqualord)
Tanemura Arina(Full Moon o Sagashite, Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne, and Time Stranger Kyoko)
Okuda Hitoshi(Tenchi Muyo)
Moriyama Daisuke(Chrno Crusade)
Koge Donbo(Digi Charat, Kamichama Karin, and Pita Ten)
Kanan(Galaxy Angel)

And, if it can count, I like Kanzaka Hajime's works. He's the storywriter of Slayers, Shreiff Stars, Lost Universe, and many other series ^_^.

 

Ken Akamatsu= Love Hina, Magister Negi magi

CLAMP=Chobits, Angelic Layer

Koge Donbo=Pita Ten

- Kaiyon

 

CLAMP (Chobits, X, Clover, ...)

Ken Akamatsu (Love Hina)

Arakawa Hiromu (Fullmetal Alchemist)

 

I can't say I was all that impressed with Yumisuke Kotoyoshi's work on the SMJ manga, but if it counts, Tsukasa Kotobuki, the character designer of SMJ, definately holds the top.

Other than that, I liked Rikdo Koshi's (Excel Saga) work. He'd probably have second place, and I'm not sure who did Mahoromatic, but the artist for that would be in third.

 

Moriyama Daisuke
and CLAMP......because everyone else loves them as well.

 

Rumiko Takahashi
Guy who drew Rurouni Kenshin
Mangaka of Shaman King
Mangaka of DN Angel
Mineko Ohkami
Mangaka of Fruits Basket
