Illustrator Reacts to Good and Bad Manga Art

Most of the artists I've been getting recommended lately have been Manga artists. So in this episode of Illustrator reacts, I'm going to react to the art of Yoshihiro Togashi, Masashi Tanaka, ONE (creator of the original One Punch Man webcomic), I guess a bit of Yusuke Murata, but I covered him more in depth in a previous episode, Q Hayashida and Katsuhiro Otomo.
In this episode some f the work we look at is from Akira, Dorohedoro, One Punch Man, Hunter x Hunter and the Gon manga.
Also as mentioned in previous episodes, this series is originally inspired by Corridor Crew's VFX Artists React to Great and Bad CGI series:

he can capture movement and emotion very well despite artwork being on wonky side. it shows the most in mob psycho i think. he was more experienced when he started it tho.

[@altoreuz1312]

Yep. Especially in Mob Psycho 100. I was amazed during the entirety of the Divine Tree Arc, especially the scene where Mob was walking into the divine tree to talk to Dimple. Such a simple scene and I felt like I was watching the anime rather than the manga. His layouting is amazing, and he can build tension really well despite the crude art.

[@FuzzyDlop]

Assistants are usually only brought in later into the existence of a manga when the mangaka is slowing down either due to health issues(which most of them face) or creative struggles. Still, the assistants are trained by the mangaka themselves to match their style as perfectly as possible. Miura has trained two assistans only in the last 3 years or so for Berserk because otherwise he was never going to finish it. The man has been drawing Berserk for 29 years and he still said it took him a lot of time to train his assistants to draw as close to him as possible(and they only work on backgrounds, by the way).

A lot of people I've talked to have told me that they can't get into One Piece because of Oda's cartoonish anatomy etc, but he creates such beautiful composition. His art has real movement and feel, and even his background characters have well thought out and interesting (if not a little weird and silly) designs! I mean, he puts SO much thought into his character designs. Like in one of the very first arcs, our villain can often be seen pushing up his glasses awkwardly with the palm of his hand by his wrists, but it isn't until we see his gloves that have claws on each finger that we realize that he pushes up his glasses like that with them on so he doesn't accidentally shank his face!

Three artists I would LOVE for you to react to are Georges Bess (from The White Lama), Mukesh Singh (from 18 Days), and Kim Jung Gi. All mind blowing artists. Great content as usual!

[@ShinGallon]

Gon was always a favorite of mine, the art is simply stunning. I remember when he was a hidden character in Tekken 3 for the original Playstation.

[@averyplaysthegame]

You absolutely need to check out Hirohiko Araki, you'd love how much his art has changed over time

[@AlchemistJay]

I really enjoy the message here - especially with One Punch. So many artist channels kind of beat it into you that you have to be "super good" to matter. Better, be earnest and authentic - create something that resonates with people despite your skill level.

[@hoodieinfestation]

Hiroaki Samura would be a fun artist to hear your take on. Fun video, thanks for sharing!

Even though his art style is hated, Eiichiro Odas work on "One Piece" is in my opinion some of the most dynamic, expressive, colorful and breathtaking art ive seen in manga. In an industry where perfect anatomy is preferred, he stands out by making the most simplistic yet super stylized character designs and environments. literally everything he does is Aesthetic and I would call him a genius artist.

[@Reydriel]

The only epople who "hate" One Piece's artstyle are those who never really read it or understood it lol

[@looneytunesboy101]

@@Reydriel big emphasiz on the "understood" part. Some people just cannot see the beauty of Odas art style. It oozes creativity and wonder every page and while other mangas have conventionally better artwork (realistic proportions, life like environments) I feel that odas art is the most interesting and engaging because you cant see it anywhere else.

[@user-mh6ju3pg8c]

@@looneytunesboy101 it looked simple but it's one of the greatest manga RT ever impacted this much the characters are exprrssive and it's dynamic

[@legocleo64]

I would totally love to see Kentaro Miura's work on the next one if you do a sequel video! He's a masterclass in full-page artwork

[@yeetoban]

I really really hoped you were also going to cover Oh! Great! His art is so incredibly detailed in his latest series/chapters.

[@LLLouva]

Talk about the art of Osamu Tezuka would be interesting

[@MrGshinobi]

Please review ONE's artwork in mob psycho 100, in that series you can REALLY see how amazing ONE actually is as an artist, he is so amazing at paneling its incredible

[@inarticulatevoid]

Love this series! Got some more suggestions for you : Boichi, Eichiro Oda, Inio Asano, Naoki urasawa.

[@mehdiuchiwatv2185]

Thank you man keep going and talking about Mangaka Art

[@Dyonn_]

Ishida Sui would be an interesting manga artist to look at, his art is beautiful and he redrew the first chapter of his manga ‘Tokyo Ghoul’ a few years after the first version, so his growth as an artist is also very visible :)

[@phoxal]

You should check out Boichi. The way he draws people is really unique, especially in the latest chapters of the Dr. Stone manga

[@AndrewTimelord]

I've seen all of your comic artist reaction videos, and I really enjoy them! I can't remember if you've looked at George Perez's work yet, but if you haven't I think that would be a cool one to do. He has such a distinct style, and he often incorporates the background in unique ways.

[@tiredyuuswvi]

I'd love to see you react to Daisuke Igarashi's artwork! He's incredible!

[@heatedace7494]

Need to see Oda (one piece) and Kubos (bleach) work

[@emilyxu5563]

I came here knowing my man ONE would be here.

[@ssr8555]

Wished he'd talked more about the progress of his art skills during the making of Mob Psycho 100 tho😩 I mean, just comparing the first chapter to the latest ones, he's gotten SO much better at anatomy.

[@emilyxu5563]

Eternal Mood, Big Prick, ma bois

[@tenacious1006]

What makes this video so great is that is teaching me that, I don’t need a professional drawing skills to make a great comic, just by looking at One webcomic I was completely stunned how weird it was comparing to the anime, and still it got the attention people deserve, by making a good storyline, it captures the audience attention in their head, and the art style may be a little quirky, but it also got the essence of the story itself. This gives so much confidence in me now that I can make my own webcomics.

[@mikethemarine115]

8:30 Wow such inspiration!!! 🤩🤩🤩 this is where the inspiration starts! I love you dude! One and yusuke murata are both my favorite artists! Sadly the inspiration ends at 10:36. Dude you, one, and yusuke murata have all inspired me to make my own comics! Edit: I want to be like sensei ONE

[@marsli9656]

Although ONE is not a skilled illustrator, but man, he has an excellent talent of storyboard/framing what most manga writers would dream of having.

[@fullmontis]

Just a note, the darker patches of color on Togashi's artwork aren't ink washes but screentones

[@SuzukiT]

You can use diluted ink as well

[@magamednohchi]

I'm glad that you respect Togashi. After I saw the thumbnail,I thought that you would talk bad about him but I'm relieved

[@wuvbandit1657]

Imagine doing a fan submission comic/manga reacts? As in, fans can submit a small comic or segment of a comic they’ve done. I think that could be pretty cool, and good to give some up and coming comic artists inspiration and critique, who are in your own community. Can I also mention how inspiring this episode was? Since I absolutely love manga and I wish to create my own one day, and I adore storytelling and art, your speech as you explained ONE’s One Punch Man work (for anyone wondering, that’s at 7:26) just really inspired me to use my spare looseleaf paper to start trying to dive into the world of graphic novels. Yes, I’m a perfectionist and have a fairly low self esteem, but this really inspired me to push through all of that and try to create an online presence and platform where I can show off my graphic novels and story telling. So thank you for that. Thank you for reminding me what I was trying to strive for in the future, what I wanted my career to be, and how I just need to start. I can’t get anywhere if I don’t start somewhere. So thank you, thank you a lot. Now let me wipe my tears and find my markers. I have some comics to make.

[@impactframes6514]

Same here! I’d like to get into animation, but can draw manga for the time being. Do you use Instagram by any chance?

[@CharmsYT]

You definitely need to look at more of Hirohiko Araki’s work. His evolution from when he began Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure to now is incredible. Would love to see your opinions on the poses he creates for his characters.

[@occasionalart7597]

On the topic of One, something he is genuinely good at is getting the feeling in his artwork across

[@jamesdent9057]

I’d recommend JRJR

[@PopCross]

Covered him in episode 2 😁

[@DearFreja]

This is definitely your best episode yet.

[@starberrydreams]

You should check out Inio Asano! He’s the mangaka for Girl on the Shore, Oyasumi PunPun, etc. His art is super beautifully rendered and has a lot of gorgeous scenery and imagery. Oyasumi punpun especially has an amazing blend of semi realism with a really simplistic protag. Super amazing artist, I’d love to see you talk about him ^^

[@solusquatro3448]

Take a look at One's ORIGINAL One Punch Man Damn, its the second time I comment suggesting an artist you talk about in the same video. Nice
