My Favorite Manga Artist is......?

Well, I cannot be sure if this is an new topic or not but I thought why the Frack not. SO, question time; who is your personal favorite manga or comic book artist and why? Currently im Bouncing between a lot due to new mangas coming out and even underground artist making oneshots or even adaptations. However one in particular stands out at the moment to me because everything he seems to do is rather golden to me. That Artist would be none other than Boichi. His current work that I am reading happens to be an ongoing manga called "Sun-Ken Rock". It is in a word "AMAZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!" So to reintroduce the question, Who is your favorite manga or comic book artist and why? also feel free to share some of the projects they worked on.

Great topic, I was wondering though if this would include your inspirations as well, like you you two list? Favorite artists and inspirational artists I mean sure I have some favorite artists, but then there are those that have inspired me

Hmm... I'd say Ken Akamatsu holds a pretty solid spot for me. I first got into manga thanks to Love Hina before I really knew what sort of otaku life style I was gonna get myself into, lol. I don't remember when exactly I started to read it, but after discovering Love Hina, I looked for more things from Akamatsu and I found Mahou Sensei Negima. Pretty much inspired me to start writing seriously as well as start to draw. Cute girls kicking ass and sudden genre shonen flavoring got my creativity jolted. That reminds me, I should try to catch up on UQ Holder...

Currently, I'd say Yūsuke Murata, the guy who does One Punch Man. You should check it out.

i feel so offtopic, but I actually only red the Dbz Manga's, so i cant really comment on this. Im more of a book fan and watch rather the anime's :D maybe because Manga books are hard to get around here and online manga's give me a headache, ( cant read long texts on a computerscreen, first world problems XD ))
