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!

Berserk is a great example of artist shining while not having to care about 18+ or political correctness. It just wouldn’t be the same if it was toned down
