Anyone who reads more than one manga from different mangakas can notice that not all mangas are drawn the same. There are vast differences between styles. Sometimes the drawings are made so that they fit the theme of manga.

For instance, seinen mangas often have detailed drawings, faces are showed with many details and there are lots of dark.

Tell us what styles from which mangakas you like the most. Also, tell us what styles you don't like.

For me, I must say that I like Hiromu Arakawa's style (Fullmetal Alchemist). For some reason I am just attracted to a way she draws her character. Norihiro Yagi (Claymore) and Obata Takeshi (Death Note) also have nice styles.

As for seinen mangakas I must mention Takahashi Tsutomu (Alive! Sidooh, Skyhigh, Blue Heaven,...). His mangas are often psychological and his art creates a perfect dark atmosphere. Also, I can't skip mentioning Yang Kyung-Il, Korean who did a great job drawing Shin Angyo Onshi.

There are also styles I just can't stand. For example, Eichiro Oda (One Piece) and Hiro Mashima (Fairy Tale, Rave Master, Monster Hunter Orage, Monster Soul). They have almost identical drawings (Hiro was Oda's assistant before) and I hate it. Seriously, One Piece characters are drawn awkward. Main reason why I don't read that manga.

One piece manga is my favorite style, because of the fact that it is the most unique i have seen

edit: i really dont care what other people have to say about OP manga, cause everyone likes different things, so dont be a hater to me

Hiro Mashima (Rave master) for his ability to have very weird expressions on someone's face, and he is very imaginative.

Also, Tite kubo (bleach) , for his ability to draw anger very well.

This manga: White Clouds also have unique drawings... but you would probably say it looks like crap.

One Piece is the same to me. Characters just look awkward... way too awkward.

i can see what you mean, they do have similar qualities, but i do think it looks like crap, doesnt look like there was enough time put into it

Theres no way. White clouds makes everyone look the same with a sphere for a head and an oval body, and yeah, im looking through it...

OP gives people weird traits, like Usopp's pencil nose.

Once I see Ussop's nose I just can't see anything else on that page... It's like a Black Hole or something that sucks your attention.

I am not attracted by it... I am distracted.

Also, I can't believe I forgot to mention Hiroaki Samura, creator of Blade of the Immortal manga. The way that guy use pencil makes his manga worth reading no matter what it is about.

Best Mangakas at drawing are too me Obata Takeshi( deathnote) and Eiichiro Oda(onepiece)
I love about Obata's drawing style that its just perfection on the highest level i guess there is nothing more to say
what i love about Eiichiro's is first that he is really good at drawing his charas with individual characterristics, but the reason i set Eiichiro's drawing skills on the same level as Obata's drawing skills is that Eiichiro might not be better with the techique at drawing than Obata, but Eiichiro knows how to hide is little mistakes and the thing what made me talk so big about Eiichiro is the reason that he noticed his greatest weakness at drawing and made it into a unique drawing style which can't be compared to other drawing styles that easily .

So Obata Takeshi and Eiichiro Oda are to me the best drawers of our time and i can't chose whcih style i like more but the man who is the best drawer in Manga history is " the god of manga " himself. Yes i'm meaning Osamu Tezuka(maybe most famous work: Astro Boy) the man who set the basic for todays manga drawing style. Osamu is even better than todays mangakas because all mangakas of our days still use his drawing style as basis. And as the inventer of the manga drawing style and with the title " god of manga " he will always be the best Mangaka who ever lived.

The worst manga drawing style is to me Arai Kiyoko(beauty pop). Its not her drawing style especially is the drawing style of the kind of manga she makes. i just don't like it.
