Do you think Kishimoto is the greatest manga artist? I'm talking about drawing wise and not story wise! I personally do not read a wide variety of manga to be able to judge but so far I'd say he's at the pinnacle but there must be someone better than him. If you know anyone else who does a better job or is unique, talk about it. If Kishi doesn't draw the best in manga world than who does?

Oda > Kishimoto.

Oda spits in Kishimoto's eye and shoves his manga pencil up his crack.

You can't say someone stands out. It's just a matter of taste. Kishimoto is very good but not the best for sure.

We are talking about art here, not mathematics. .

No. Beyond style matters, Kishimoto seems to have trouble to create the panel composition and vary it. While it's true there are some awesome pages, they follow the same formula.

So personally who do you think does a better job than? And who really is the best? I don't think there is a best but he stands out alot I think.

Well, his art is better than oda's, the one piece characters all look stretched and extremely wacky

Death Note had great art. I think I liked that one more. But I don't know, maybe it's because I liked the series more too.

I also liked Monster's art. But it's a different, more old-school style.

Basically I am not the best suited to judge because I haven't read that much manga. (Last but not least, they say as far as the art is concerned, Liar Game (my avatar and sig) is terrible xd )
