We always talk about Mangaka's drawing backgrounds and shit but let's talk about what really matters.
Which Mangaka make the best character designs?
I love Togashi's designs, besides Gon and Leorio who look gross as shit.

Satorou Noda manages an excellent balance between striking and easily distinguishable designs without being gaudy or too busy

What's gross about Gon or Leorio? Especially Leorio, he's just a guy in a suit

I fucking loved Kishimoto's character designs.

Kubo shits on all, His designs are superb, my fellow plebbitor

>besides Gon and Leorio who look gross as shit
I've had multiple normie friends who were specifically filtered because they didn't like Gon's character design. I don't really agree with the sentiment, but I guess it's not lying to say that Gon turns people off initially.

I do love Togashi's designs though, a very unique combination of styles.

Togashi's even makes nobody characters seem distinctive.

I love Keisuke Itagaki's designs. Also how are Gon and Leorio gross they look fine

This is probably the only answer when it comes to Jump, Naruto designs are some iconic shit.

Whenever you want best in the same sentence when describing something, the answer is always HxH. Why even make this thread if we already know?

>CHADlorio
>gross

Yah, he made great designs. Simple yet memorable.

Even late into the War arc his designs were top notch
I know he already designed these characters back at the start of the series, but they still look great, possibly even at their best, here

I dont know how to describe it with Gon, his skull shape and hairstyle look weird, like a fucked up Bart Simpson.
As for Leorio his face looks weird, like it's been stretched and the small glasses don't help.

Togashi has great designs when its a character he cares about, there's a lot of shitty designs that might as well be background characters (Genthru's goons)

Gon looks like he belongs in some pokemon knock off

Idk why Kubo has so much soul, it basically carried his whole shitty story

Kubo can only draw like 5 faces

Just some standouts off the top of my head

Kubo. Same face syndrome and all, but damn he make people look cool
Araki. The amount of flair he manages to imbue into every character is astounding
Fujimoto. I usually think the characters look fairly normal, but they manage to be highly memorable despite it the more time goes on

Yet his character designs are godly
Miura has some cool monster designs along with Fujimoto

Eh that´s more at the end when he had no passion.

Also who else can draw lots of body shapes and knows all their strengths??
Tell me when was the last time someone drawed pears user??
When??

Toriyama's Dragon Quest designs are kino too, except for Luminary.

Daromeon of Kengan Omega/Ashura

It's not that the designs are particularly good, but damn can he stretch a character to display any and all emotions convincingly. He isn't afraid of contorting a character's face or proportions to fit the scene and it makes almost all of them super memorable because they all have super memorable moments no matter how inconsequential they end up being because of how larger than life he can make them seem. I'd argue the art carries the series honestly

This

Chainsaw Man designs are so fucking dope, shame they all just get killed off.

Omega art quality has gone down a bit, but Daro is still a beast when he tries.

kobu more like copu

I don't even like Naruto and I love Kishimoto's designs.

>normie friends who were specifically filtered because they didn't like Gon's character design

That happened to me back when I first started getting into anime/manga. I just hated Gon's design. Thankfully I grew out of it, and now HxH is one of my favorite series.

I agree with Kubo and Togashi but Oda? If I have to put him on that ranking he would be Y or Z instead. He literally draws the same face in all his male and female characters, only with some little variations and the bodies are basically the same, big torso, small head on males and basic hourglass figure with big titty, big hips on females.

Try reading the series first.
Downvoted.

have you never seen One Piece? cause everything you just said isn't true

The males are good, but the females can get pretty embarrassing

But that's one of Nami's best designs.
Read the series first.
