What are some of your favorite series being done by the same aritst or what series you notice are done by the same artist? Also maybe it's something to take notice because of how well thier series is respected. Also a lot of times, the japanese name are hard to remember that you don't even notice two of your favorite series are by the same artist.
Yuriko Nishiyama Tokyopop licensed 3 of her work: Harlem Beat (got cancle, about basketball) Rebound (sequel, next best thing to Slam Dunk) Dragon Voice (havn't read, is it any good?) Takehiko INOUE Vagabond - Doing well and still being released. One of my favorite. Slam Dunk - on hiatus indefinitely. One of my favorite. Hyun se Lee All his work seem to be licensed by CPM Armageddon (Havn't read, doesn't look interesting) Hard Boiled Angel (Havn't read, doesn't look interesting) Nambul: War Stories (Read, fairly interesting.) Mythology of the Heavens (Will pick up) Ken Akamatsu A.I. Love You (never read, looks like more fanserver. Love Hina (Didn't like the typical story, like the fanservice) Negima (Okay story that's enjoyable, like the fanservice) |

I don't want to mention manga that hasn't been licensed yet unless real is licensed by a company outside of japan.

Sure it is, unless you think that out of Japan means USA.
I don't expect anyone to understand that site, it is just a proof. |

The big name that pops in my mind is Katsuhiro Otomo. Akira, Domu and Legend of Mother Sarah have all been written by him and released in America. I've always admired his talents as a manga-ka for his incredibly deep and complex stories. Both Domu and Akira are filled with concepts and ideas that most manga doesn't even touch upon. Domu contains subtle social commentary and rather distubing ideas about evils relationship with innocence. Building upon the foundation laid out with Domu, the epic Akira looks at many of humanity's darker aspects and goes into complex and contrasting views on individual beings. Breaking the mood of his other works, Mother Sarah's underlying theme is hope against all odds, as Sarah searches for her children in a brutal world.
Rather than mearly listing authors and their works, why doesn't everyone compare their works (otherwise this is basically a list thread). I'll post more authors later. |

Guys, give reasons and GOOD ones or else this is just a list thread, which means I'll have to lock it. You can easily find this info in the encyc or elsewhere on the web if you just want a list.
Dragon Voice turned out to be funnier and more decent than I expected. It's a pretty ridiculous idea, but it's alright if you're looking for a way to pass spare time. And A.I.Love You, for some reason, is the least annoying Akamatsu work I've read. Not that that's saying much... Haven't had a chance to look at the Korean titles in depth yet. I hope to get around to reading Mythology of the Heavens soon, though. It's so fat... :p |

All right.
Well, expanding on my mentions. With Fujishima, you have one of the best character artists in manga. Period. His works are very character driven and very fulfilling to read. Oh! My Goddess, in particular, shows the man's love of his characters, as well as his love for fine motoring equipment. With Sonoda, you have a man with attention to detail and one very fun sense of humor. Gunsmith Cats was probably brought stateside first because it's a very "western" manga. It's story is set in Chicago, its characters are gun-wielding chicks who cruise around in a Mustang, and it's filled to the brim with action and humor. Through that, I do believe Sonoda has achieved some prominence in America, if not in Japan. |
