Out of the ones currently running?

No. Any.

 

[Stivie]

 

[OtterBrigade]

Question for everyone.

In terms of character designs, which WSJ mangaka is your favorite?

overall probably the later parts (4-6) of Jojo. Ongoing probably either MHA or Jujutsu Kaisen.

 

[Rouk']

Question for everyone.

In terms of character designs, which WSJ mangaka is your favorite?

Of the currently running manga, there are so many that I love for different reasons. HeroAca, Act-Age, JJK, Dr. Stone.
I also unironically love One Piece's character design, how goofy it looks.
I liked Neverland's and HQ's too, especially the demons in Neverland. And although I didn't really like the manga, Kimetsu had really solid designs.

That said, my absolute favorite would have to go to Stone Ocean (Jojo Part 6), it has by far my favorites designs of Jojo, and even the other parts have great designs. So Araki it is.

 

[Roacher]

Question for everyone.

In terms of character designs, which WSJ mangaka is your favorite?

Kimetsu have nice character design especially when Ufotable animated it.

But I would love to see in current Jump some crazy fashionable design like in Appare-Ranman.

 

[savethecat]

Question for everyone.

In terms of character designs, which WSJ mangaka is your favorite?

My personal top 3(in no order) are

Horikoshi
Oda
Toriyama

Side note, but whenever Horikoshi done with MHA, I would like to see him go in the same route as Toriyama and be lead character designer in a few JRPGs before he jumps right into a new series

 

[Chuck_Atlas]

Question for everyone.

In terms of character designs, which WSJ mangaka is your favorite?

Current ones I would say Horikoshi, Yabuki and Date.

Tozuka and Komoto are also proving themselves with their first series

Other favorites would be Murata and Kawada

 

[WyldViolet]

Iwashiro perhaps.

 

[KennyKuro]

Question for everyone.

In terms of character designs, which WSJ mangaka is your favorite?

Horikoshi-sensei. He is going Plus Ultra in this current arc. Each villain and hero has their own and unique design without repeating the concept of them.

Spoiler

The same thing happened in the villain arc. Something that I must emphasize is the originality of Horikoshi about thinking of a different quirk and reflecting it in the character design. That's really cool.

[therocomotion]

I can definitely see FLCL in CSM. Makima's relationship with Denji being very similar to Haruko's relationship with Naota.

 

[OniluapL]

Question for everyone.

In terms of character designs, which WSJ mangaka is your favorite?

Oda's really up there. It's actually a big part of what makes me enjoy One Piece, even with his shortcomings (on female designs, for instance - although when he really wants to, he can do very, very well)

But my favourite is probably Murata. Every character in Eyeshield 21 pops out of the page, they are so varied and expressive, cartoony in the absolute best way.

 

[Tamil]

Question for everyone.

In terms of character designs, which WSJ mangaka is your favorite?

Oda, Togashi (characters like the zodiacs & PT have strong character designs) & Araki (parts 4/5 & onward) come to my mind immediately.

The fact that Oda made the Supernovas on a whim still blows my mind.

 

[SharkBait]

I mean, it's already frequently trending on Twitter. Word of mouth is helping it, and there are lots of passioniate fans. It could definitely use a major push, though.

dont really know if trending on twitter is really that important at face value (you can trend on twitter with just 3K tweets if nothings going on...you can trend on twitter for 8+hours with >400K tweets, if you're Haikyuu ending... see the difference). No one said how many CSM got while it was trending so...

 

[Halloween]

I'm shocked no one here mentioned Kubo.

Like, what the hell?

 

[ItsSamu]

Question for everyone.

In terms of character designs, which WSJ mangaka is your favorite?

The King of Cool himself, Tite Kubo. As he's said in interviews, characters come first to him, and few match him in terms of the creating fashion for his characters as well. I always thought after Bleach he should make a fashion manga instead.

I'm shocked no one here mentioned Kubo.

Like, what the hell?

It's the correct answer.

 

[Minsel]

Question for everyone.

In terms of character designs, which WSJ mangaka is your favorite?

Togashi
Gondaira
Tozuka
sometimes Horikoshi

Chainsaw Man has 3 Million Copies in Circulation

Congrats for CSM. I can't wait for the eventual anime announcment.

JJK has been a drag for me to read lately so I'm going to get caught up with CSM again lol. I'm about 35 chapters behind on CSM so I'll reread from the start.

 

[lazybones1717]

Question for everyone.

In terms of character designs, which WSJ mangaka is your favorite?

Togashi, easily. Outside of his great designs for major characters, I especially love the effort he puts into background characters. Like, look at this portion of a character sheet for the current HxH arc:

90% of these characters don't have any dialogue, but they're so well realized. And this is only one of several unique factions! It's really cool how much individuality these random background characters have.

 

[savethecat]

I'm shocked no one here mentioned Kubo.

Like, what the hell?

I consider Kubo and amazing character designer as well.
I just think the ones I mentioned have more range when it comes to their characters. All of them have designed everything from Humans, to fish people, to aliens. Where as Kubo’s characters have mostly been humans and hollows(from what I’ve seen).

Regardless Kubo is still top notch and probably one of the best in the industry as a whole. I was just trying to narrow my list down to just 3 ppl

 

[Koni]

I'm shocked no one here mentioned Kubo.

Like, what the hell?

I was thinking of him when I asked you if we only meant currently running series or just in general. Kubo I hear is great at this, but I need to reas more of his work.
