Yagi Norihiro

Manga master of dark arts and dark humor 21 August, 2010 by

Having already covered several high profile Mangaka names like Toriyama Akira and Oda Eiichiro, this time I’ll be introducing a lesser known mangaka: Yagi Norihiro (八木教広). Calling him a lesser known mangaka might not be exactly appropriate, since anime fans should be rather familiar with the Claymore animation that appeared during 2007. What most people didn’t really take note of, is that the anime adaption of Claymore was derived from this mangaka.

Oda Eiichiro

And the legendary One Piece 22 July, 2010 by

Oda Eiichiro (尾田 栄一郎) easily takes the #1 spot on my list of favorite mangaka and it is easy to see why. As the creator of the insanely popular One Piece, he currently stands as the most wanted man in the manga industry. While (as mentioned before) Toriyama Akira brought forth the golden age of manga when he was serializing Dragonball, Oda Eiichiro is now considered his spiritual successor and has brought along the 2nd golden age of manga in Japan. I’m sure crazed fans will protect him from any harm just to make sure that he churns out their favorite manga chapters every week without fail.

In this guide, I do hope to do justice to this artist of the highest caliber. As a vivid manga reader, there was no way that I would not write a piece on this famous, talented mangaka who (it could be said) shaped the industry during the peak of his career and brought forth the golden age of manga in Japan and perhaps worldwide.

The hand-of-god in the Manga industry 15 April, 2010 by

At some point of time you might have heard of Death Note and even possibly had seen the Live action film in theaters. What you might not know of, is that Death Note was a manga collaboration between writer Ohba Tsugumi and the mangaka Obata Takeshi. In this guide, I will like to focus on the mangaka Obata Takeshi (小畑 健).

The Princess of Manga 18 February, 2010 by
