Favorite Mangaka?

I don't got no favorite manga author.As long A's the manga is good;that's all it matters to me.And you spelled "manga"wrong.People are think you're talking about an anime series.^_^

I would say Rumihiko Takahashi, but I've really started liking Suzuhito Yasuda ^_^

Masashi Kishimoto :)

Favorite artist: About 20 or 40 that aren't well known in America who's style I like so much that I will buy anything they publish. But I guess I'l give a shout out to Minami Ozaki for her unique Art Deco layouts & Limited Pallet color schemes. She also caters to my "sexy hands" fetish, even if she does make them too large.

Favorite manga writer: Right now it's a tie between Yoshihiro Togashi (Hunter x Hunter, Yu Yu Hakusho) & Matsuri Akino (Petshop of Horrors, Genju no Seiza, Kamen Tantei).

They both make me go through aggravating withdraw between volumes. they're aces at storytelling, character development, & suspense.

Favorite to collect: Then there's the ones I have the biggest collections of; I have between 150-200 mangas my Aoike Yasuko & Mineyo Maya (the only 2 mangakas ever to get their own bookshelf in my library).
