Me, I’m head-over-heels for Osamu Tezuka’s stuff, and a big fan of Hayao Miyazaki’s work, both for a long time now, altho of course Miyazaki only made a small amount of manga, I believe. (“Nausicaä” etc) And of course, mad respect to Katsuhiro Otomo for the legendary “Akira” series, plus his other works.

For sure, I also enjoyed “Death Note,” and a couple others, here and there. Moebius’ and Jiro Taniguchi’s Icaro was good, but stretched on forever, at least for me.

Anyway, if you’re passionate and/or highly respecful upon certain manga, I’d love to hear your thoughts!

    My favorite manga are probably:

    1. Nausicaa
    2. Vinland Saga (though the 2nd half isn’t quite as great as the 1st half)
    3. Vagabond (but unfortunately it’s in hiatus and will probably never be finished)

    Shoutout also to Berserk, Akira, and Uzumaki. They’re great but not quite as good as my favorites. That said I’d recommend any of the top 3 to literally anybody.

    Oh, and Planetes which is included in the pic is also a great read for sci-fi fans.
