Dude, I'm not even half done.
Real Talk, it should be illegal to have this discussion without mentioning Murata.
Yeah that's cool and all, but it lacks the angst of Asano art or the beauty of Mori's art or the uniqueness of Matsumuto's art

C'mon I can't be the only one who was heartbroken with the eclipse. I felt like shit for hours. You knew something bad was gonna happen but how brutal it was, specially regarding Caska, was unexpected for me.

We need some Mor now.

Fortunately, I had Yotsuba to pull me out of it.
I love Tomoko Yamashita's brand of humour and the way she draws her girls is beautiful. Have you read her oneshot Mud (or Satanic Sweet)? It has one of the best artistic interpretations of love at first sight.
I did actually read 10 or so chapters of the manga. The art was great, but it didn't have my kind of humour. I do, however, love the gifs that come out of the manga.
no igarashi?

I am Korean.
I don't think you're replying to what I was referencing.
I was saying that the king never tried to sex up his daughter until Griffith planted the thought into the king's head. Things went way worse for Griffith after the king tried to play bed intruder.

Oh wow I didn't know that
Murata is godlike with color, that's for sure. Anyway, I'd like to nominate Kakizaki Masasumi (Rainbow, Hideout, Green Blood etc.), Kenji Tsuruta (Spirit of Wonder, Wandering Emanon etc.) and Oh Great (say what you want about his stories but his art is very nice to look at) as some of the finest manga artists out there. Katsura and Obata maybe deserve a mention too.

Suki mo Yoi 01: I Tried Making a Doujinshi
That was pretty funny. Girl basically gets pressured by her mother into making a doujin and then selling it at a con. The style works for it and it was a fun read.

This is an explanation I'm okay with. Looking back, it makes sense and I like it.
I can't say it was predictable, because literally all of my predictions were wrong. :lol But it just wasn't shocking. Terrible? Sure. But not shocking in a way that my jaw dropped. I never trusted Griffith to begin with and we were already shown that he turned into something (my least favorite design, btw) and that Gutts would love to tear him apart. And then you had Zodd, who made it very clear that something life threatening would happen during the eclipse. For me it was all a question of how everyone died, not if.

Every time I see all these OPM gifs I just feel like Murata just wants to do an anime and not a manga
We must clone him to avoid another disaster (aka the Eyeshield 21 anime).
EDIT : have some more Murata goodness.
Completely slipped my mind. I read Witches ages ago and his short story collection wasn't super memorable. I do need to get around to reading Children of the Sea. His enviromental art is phenomenal especially when he goes all out with the double pages spreads.

Yeah I remember reading and liking it. Guess I'll look through her other series and oneshots, the non-yaoi ones at least.

Maybe he just likes watching the gifs and in order to get more gifs, he keeps making these panels, so he can watch more gifs.
So A Girl by the Sea volume 2 hasn't been translated yet as expected (please anyone translate the volume, I beg you translator-kun), however the raws for the second volume have been out for some time. I did skim through it very fast making sure to not spoil anything and it was very hard holding back the temptation to just "read" the entire volume.
There were 4 colour pages that appeared in the magazine when the last chapter was published I believe. You can view them here courtesy of MH. They look awesome, especially the first one.

I guess my favorite artists for characters and expressions is JUNKO. For other manga not in that genre, guess Id give kudos, accolades, and encomium the one of Tegami Bachi, (ASADA Hiroyuki), love the environments, details in the attacks and just small details like stars, the shindan, and more. Ah and Akira Amano for character designs too and her detailed art of the boxes and rings.
Yeah the water is crazy.
Gosh... I forgot that Musashi had such an insane level of swag. He's so fucking cool.
Money!
What's the middle one from? I'd read that. I'd read a lot of that.

Honestly before OPM whenever someone refers to murata I thought they were talking about range murata.
Nah, I thought it was pretty cool.
10% funny.
25% badass
50% cool
10% :O
5% fucked up.
Now that I'm off work, let me continue with the Lost Children arc. Or whatever it's called.
I swear I feel like I have read a Junko manga before, but I'm not sure. I'm gonna read the Umbrella one however.
His architectural designs are amazing, not to mention he draws some nice action poses. Really he just needs to team up with a good writer and we will end up getting an awesome sci-fi manga.
It appears that it's just from an artbook but I could be wrong.
Asano is a good storyteller but his art isn't anything to write home about.
Sorry to disappoint, but its not from anything.
Check out Blanc et Noir, Obata's artbook. He has Death Note stuff in it but also original stuff, Hikaru no Go and Yoshitsune Ki art.
Adventure of Sinbad
This was pretty neat but not too crazy until Ja'far (which was OMG WAT OH OHHHHHH OH). There's no way this is it, right? Even part 2 or part 5 won't be enough, I need everything. Hell keep the artist if you must, it wasn't even that bad.
I can sort of imagine now how everyone important and their mother know/have met Yunan, haha. Dude just jogs around the earth. And maybe I understood it wrong, but it seemed like Yunan was the one who made the first dungeon appear.

Adventure of Sinbad
Sinbad is a boss since the beggining. Surprised to see Drakon there.
I wonder if they will do more adventures of Sinbad.

I think asano is great at creating incredibly beautiful symbolic and emotional scenes. Just needs to Photoshop photos into his manga less.
Art doesn't have to be just technical. Being able to compose images full of meaning is another aspect of art. Though I do love his character design.
The ending panels of solanin's final concert was incredibly emotional to me.

Will they look as good as Matsumoto's or Igarashi's backgrounds?
True.
I remember being overwhelmed when I read the final pages of Scott Pilgrim. It was just Scott and Ramona slowly fading away, then you had a blank page and still... Powerful.
