Are most mangaka one-series wonders? The only ones I can think on the top of my head that have more than one successful series is Yoshihiro Togashi and Atsushi Ohkubo.

That's because your reference pool is children's shows.
Adrian Smith
Fujimoto
Tezuka
Kubo as of burn the witch
Kentaro Yabuki
Boichi
Murata
Being a good mangaka is not delivering 950 chapters of the same series (even if there is some credit to doing it), but rather making multiple successes
Lucas Harris
Rumiko Takahashi, Akira Toriyama, Osamu Tezuka?
Ethan Morales
>no one mentioned dowman sayman
shit taste
Jonathan Sanders
Most mangaka will deliver one success in their careers and be okay with it, be it because of comfort, fear of failure or being really in love with the idea
Kishimoto was lucky with naruto
Mason Reed
It really depends on what your idea of a successful is. Most mangaka aren't successful at all if your bar for success is top tier WSJ series. A lot of mangaka can get multiple series serialized that last to a natural conclusion and/or go on for a while. And if you can keep making series that are allowed to run to their conclusion I'd consider that a success.

I think that a successful manga is one that gets adapted into anime at some point
Jump is just easier to measure because you either get axed or adapted in jump
Brody Campbell
>Rumiko Takahashi
It's always the same story though. Even the characters look virtually the same
Jordan Roberts
hiromu arakawa she have fullmetal , gin no saji.
takeshi obata : death note , bakuman, hikaru no go
takehiko inoue: slam dunk, vagabond
Adrian Anderson
None of Fujimoto's works have even gotten an anime, that's not success
William Russell
Makoto Raiku. Not a one hit winder but going from Gash to Animal Land which started strong then went meh then to Vector Ball which died very fast.
Benjamin Powell
I mean Jojo didn't have any large scale anime adaptation until nearly 30 years after it started so I'm not sure if I'd use that as a metric. What ends up getting adapted can be pretty weird.
Easton Flores
Who's a bigger hack, Kishi or Oda?
Christian Perry
Oda
He based his entire career in one manga, he will retire having only written one piece, I dont see this as a testament of a good mangaka, only that he found a cow to milk for 30 years, atleast kishimoto had the balls to finish his cash cow and try something out of passion
Caleb Wood
>Fujimoto
think you're taking the Zig Forums meme's too seriously, user
>Tezuka
Fair enough
>Kubo as of burn the witch
Then why can't I say Boruto counts because BTW is set in the Bleachverse?
>Kentaro Yabuki
lol
>Boichi
You're just throwing out names right? Dr. Stone is a mild hit at best and Sun Ken Rock wasn't even as successful
>Murata
He's just a monkey who can draw pretty pictures. He's nothing without Inagaki and ONE.
So why'd you cite Murata and not Inagaki? Retard,
Carter Russell
Oda at least made something good.
Anthony Turner
Adachi Mitsuru's been making success after success for 40 years and most of his ongoings have gotten adaptations of some kind.
Dominic Brooks
Incidentally enough, I made a similar reply in a different thread a week ago.
>Araki has one hit (JoJo)
>Miura has one hit (Berserk)
>Hara has one hit (Kingdom)
>Oda has one hit (One Piece)
>Wani has one hit (Demon Slayer)
>Isayama has one hit (AOT)
Brayden Morales
Eh, you can have multiple successes if you get a cult following from one good work even if the next works aren't as good.
Kayden Young
Oda by far
Jayden Jenkins
I don't think Tsutomu Takahashi's stuff has ever been adapted but you're retarded if you don't consider him a successful mangaka. A success means you're able to make a living and a good career out of being a mangaka.
Nolan King
Hiromi Arakawa
One of the reasons FMA has great female characters
Kayden Wilson
Because Kishimoto isnt involved in Boruto and Boichi/Murata are considered mangaka even if they work in pairs
Retard
Owen Reyes
Also the only adaptation that Asano's had is a live action movie for Solanin but you'd be retarded to not consider him a success.
Nolan Davis
>nth post
>not a single mention about aoki ume
Ryder Rodriguez
Hiro Mashima (3)
Jose Foster
It's more impressive to make consistently quality series rather than popular ones. Takehiko Inoue. Every new manga he starts is superior to the other.
Jacob Gutierrez
>Because Kishimoto isnt involved in Boruto
Except his name is on the Boruto manga and he works on the anime
> Boichi/Murata are considered mangaka even if they work in pairs
Now list people who can actually create stories for themselves.
Ryan Robinson
Hidamari is her only success. Doing character design only doesn’t count.
Ethan Peterson
Fukumoto
Grayson Richardson
>It's always the same story though. Even the characters look virtually the same
Which has fuck all to do with her having multiple successful series, which is the point of the thread.
Urusei Yatsura
Maison Ikkoku
Ranma½
Mermaid series
Inuyasha
Lucas Taylor
Yes especially in Shounen.
This is why Oda is going to keep writing One Piece until he's too old to keep working.
Jackson Clark
Kishi since Samurai shit failed as his second several and he lost to Oda already with Naruto vs One piece.
Samuel Butler
OP is a faggot with an incredibly small frame of reference and thinks recent shonen shit is all that exists. Read more manga, OP.
Joseph Ortiz
Is there a problem in that? Making a successful manga is hard as fuck.
