Mangakas who became nobodies

Akira Hiramoto aka the Prison School guy

Kenjiro Hata and Hayate no Gotoku. New series is sweet though.

I'm talking about popularity, not whether a series is subjectively good or bad.

Doesn't it have declining sales? I remember seeing a graph but not sure.

We have to wait until the first few volumes are out but I have the feeling Samurai 8 will be a flop.

his new manga is good though

Miura and Togashi. Not "nobodies" in the sense of being worthless, but in the sense that they hardly exist at this point.

Masamune Shirow

Kurumada

I like Arslan

Kobayashi Jin.
Fuck that faggot.

Haven't heard anyone talking about Claymore/Angel Densetsu author's new manga, though I don't think it's getting scanned either.
Gash Bell's author was like this while writing Vector Ball. In the end he cancelled it himself because he didn't like how it was turning out.
No one cares for Seo's new manga, and for good reason.
Prison School's author started a new manga about a trap. Though due to the genre and PS's shitshow of an ending, there's not a lot of interest in it.
Mizukami's newest work got a lot of buzz when it was first revealed but the anime was a flop and the manga is monthly so discussion died out
Koe no Katachi's author's current manga is never discussed
Everyone forgot about Golden Kamuy and Ajin
Tsugumomo is way smaller than it used to be

Negi and his 5toubun will head down this path if he goes against the overwhelming favorites of the readers (Miku) and chooses a shit bride. Wouldn't surprise me to read an obit about him in a few years. If he makes that mistake.

>Nothing on that site gets any discussion besides the super mainstream titles
have you somehow been missing the constant Spy x Family threads
I didn't even know it came out this year.

not good enough for you to make a thread on it, now is it?

Happened to the author of The World God Only Knows, who fell off the face of the planet after it ended.

>overwhelming favourite of the readers
>Miku
Oh no no no no no no hahahahahahaha

What happens to mangaka after they fall into obscurity?

Either churn out new works hoping to make a comeback or enjoy their millionaire status

Is the author of Nisekoi rightfully forgotten? Has he made anything afterwards?

This is pure waifufaggotry, as long as he does a somewhat decent ending and not what Wakaki did, Negi should be fine.

>or enjoy their millionaire status

What about the ones who aren't super rich?

He made a few oneshots. Nisekoi is babby's first romcom so it won't be forgotten anytime soon.

Poverty and hikkidom like the rest of Japanese society.

I heard Mcdonalds is hiring. Re;Zero author was smart and works his job as a butcher and wasn't stupid enough to quit it while working on the novel. He knows that shit isn't a good long-term plan.

I thank the one lone user who translates it

They keep trying to milk their only successful series like GTO.

Chara design work like the KHR author and Psycho Pass

Arlan is not her own work though, she is just remaking the thing as a manga, the light novel at this point will never end.

Making Doujins like black lagoon author

Fujimaki. Golf was a mistake

>so it won't be forgotten anytime soon.
How is not already forgotten? No more anime, no more manga, no more promotional material, nothing.

It’s already forgotten.

No it's unpopular because Japan hates it.

Who did people want to win? I watched the anime not long ago and I like Haqua the most, but I feel like I would probably be the minority. Was it the "sister"? I forgot her name.

why would you promote something that's already over?

I mean it's not. It's brought up whenever a new harem is introduced. Albeit in a notorious fashion.

I'm not sure, I think people were mostly disappointed with the ending in general for being rushed and underwhelming.

Good series are sometimes unpopular, but bad manga is always going to be unpopular unless it has some way to attract the retarded fanbase, be it waifus, edge or self inserts.
Platinum End has nothing. It tried to ape Mirai Nikki and failed, not realizing what was what made it popular in the first place.

Oh! Great completely fell off the map, I think he just draws what people tell him to now.

Don't be a mangaka. Be a character designer like Tony Taka.

He's actually much more wealthy than a majority of mangaka and has much more free time and less deadlines.

I think there used to be youtube videos of his fancy apartment.

Many shows Japan hates is still popular internationally.

He's pretty good at it though. Motherfucker's come a longer way than almost any other mangaka while serialized. Up there with araki.

Oh Great is doing the Monogatari Manga adaption which gets discussion on Yea Forums.

It's pretty good. Doesn't try to copy Shaft's style.

>What Mangaka went from being well known/popular to a complete nobody
Probably most of them?
It's pretty rare to see someone with a continuous streak of popularity from one series to another.

>selling 1M per volume
>hardly exist
That's stupid. Most series struggle to even sell 300k.
animenewsnetwork.com/news/2018-11-29/top-selling-manga-in-japan-by-volume-2018/.140164

I don't know if there are other character designers as successful as him.

It's such a shame because Bakuman was genuinely one of my favourite manga. But yeah I could only read 5 chapters of Platinum End before I gave up, how can quality be that inconsistent?

Yeah, quite a few mangaka are one-hit wonders.

your post was

and it became

what happened ? can you edit your posts on Yea Forums?

I quoted the wrong line so I deleted & reposted.

oh okay, didn't know you could deleter your posts

lurk for 10 years minimum before posting

Tawawa on Monday (just monday deadlines)

Miru Tights (just draw tights and you will get noticed)

And Platinum End is not one of them.
It's bad. Really bad.

The problem is that taste in character designs changes every few years. You don't see hair intakes or 90s style character designs any more.

I might just read it just to see how bad.

Arslan Senki is not a light novel, it's a full fledged novel series

Nobuhiro Watsuki

Did castlevania judgement killed them?

Naoko Takeuchi is more well known for being Togashi's wife at this point.

He's doing Monogatari manga and it is nice, given his ability to draw sluts.

Surprised HnG is on there and not Bakuman.

>selling well
It's simply not popular even in nipland. Scanlations have nothing to do with it.

When the mc got hit with that love arrow and still helped her out after, I knew this series disgustingly bad.

What went wrong?

It's funny because PE's premise is less original than almost every fictional manga in Bakuman. They came up with all kinds of interesting stories in Bakuman but this is what they ended up with.

Guess it's because Bakuman doesn't have anything supernatural unlike the other three

Too pretentious.

I beileve that's why Oda is never going to finish one piece

Writing

It's really dull and really up it's own ass.

As it turns out philosophizing about god is incredibly boring when all you're doing is stating the basic bitch arguments about it.

Both the story and characters are extremely bland. Add pretentiousness to it and you have one of the most boring, uninspiring manga ever. I have to double check to make sure that it was written by Death Note's author and not some edgy high schooler.

I was going to say Rumiko Takahashi (from Inuyasha), but I don't know how MAO is doing.

They basically liked Mirai Nikki and decided to do something similar on their own style, but without making it interesting. So like everyone said, it's extremely bland.

I think someone like Rumiko Takahashi shouldn't count since she has achieved the legendary status in the manga pantheon. Even if her new series completely flop, she will never be forgotten.

The author of Re;Zero made a work that reached my slum in the third world, but he's still a butcher. While the woman who wrote Hunger Games is a millionaire.
It's so strange. I expected the people who wrote successful LNs to be rich.

Rumiko Takahashi is one of the richest women in Japan. Even if her new stuff is a flop she's made enough big hits to stay relevant even now.

He's rumored to do a Yuri series. I heard a lot of mangaka were praising Bloom Into You and Citrus last year. You are going to see some popular mangaka doing yuri oneshot or full yuri series.

The publishers take a big cut in the profits, not really sure how much though. It's the price to pay when you're an amateur writer who's desperate to get your ideas published no matter what.

God please no. Not because I have anything against yuri but because Komi is a hack who can't write romance for shit.

He should really just do an action series, I remember the few action scenes in Nisekoi being surprisingly good.

If Rinne can go for 40 volumes despite being awful, MAO will be fine.

Waikiki

>No one cares for Seo's new manga, and for good reason.
Probably because it's not drama ridden as his previous works
>Prison School's author started a new manga about a trap. Though due to the genre and PS's shitshow of an ending, there's not a lot of interest in it.
He deserves it for fucking up PS like he did
>Koe no Katachi's author's current manga is never discussed
It's strange. I remember the first 30 chapters or so were quite hype. What killed it?

Hata made a new name for himself with nu-anime fans with his new series, but the way Hayate fell from grace is genuinely something else.

To Your Eternity?

It got licensed. It's still pretty big but discussion kind of got killed because scans were hard to find.

>100k drop off between vol 2 and vol 7
Seriously? At this point they need to do the honorable thing and kill it already.

I like MAO a lot more than fucking Rinne. It doesn't fucking touch UY/Maison Ikkoku/Ranma territory though

The NHK author said he basically lives off of whatever royalties he gets fron the manga and anime, he pretty much admitted he ended up becoming a hikkikomori or something of the sort.
Pretty sad considering the theme of the manga.

>He should really just do an action series, I remember the few action scenes in Nisekoi being surprisingly good.

Komi should just do an Yuri action/romance series that would be better than Nisekoi. Yuri is getting more popular by the day at best and seems WSJ is starting to notice the popularity with yuri.

Do you think Isayama would fall into this shithole after he's done with SnK?

Don't waste your time. It's not even the funny kind of bad. It's as soulless as it could be.

You don't know that Hokkaido Arc is selling very well despite the CP scandal?

She will never make something that can rival Sailor Moon in popularity and influence, so why bother? I also imagine that she's super rich on her own.

I don't get it. Why does someone good enough to make a successful manga struggle to find a decent paying job? Can he just be a freelance illustrator or assistant to someone else? Is it pride?

It gets plenty of discussion on reddit and discord but Yea Forums seems to have completely abandoned it for some reason.

Curious no one mentioned Katsura, he was one of the rom-com gods at the time (I honestly loved his very unique style of drawing girls )

Sad his batman obsession with zetman dragged on for so long (dropped it half way through)

He did character designs for Astral Chain.

Akamatsu

>Tiger and Bunny was huge as fuck, was a hit due to the fledgling normalfag interest in capeshit
>Sunrise never capitalized on its popularity
>the AAA staff like Katsura went on to commit to other projects
Tiger and Bunny was absolutely wasted potential, it had the capability to go on for 1 more season at least.

What ever happened to claymore? It seemed pretty cool. I remember dropping it when they discovered they were on a separate island or something just to test monsters or something really similar and stupid.

The monster/character designs were really cool.

That guy who did Rosario to Vampire

Daisuke Moriyama.

remember Ken Akamatsu or Rumiko Takahashi? I don't.

>draws someone else's story
That's a good thing, honestly just like OP's example some mangakas really are just not good writers but their art is great, more mangaka should team up to enhance eachother's strengths

This. He needs to come back with an actual series already.

>Wakaki

I really kind of genuinely feel bad for him but there was no excuse to how badly he paced the Goddess Arc and killed the hype in the series.

Not to mention how he didn't make the ending obvious enough even though you could theorycraft why he did it. But the moist damning thing was how he wrote off everyone else with his ending. Picture related.

I hope he recovers but it's not likely with the series he produced after TWGOK. Such a shame.

Agreed. I was amazed on how drastically his art progressed between season 1 and 2. It was beautiful

Fucking this. To this day I still see how badly Natsu no Arashi flopped and can't help but smile. He needed just a couple of volumes more to make School Rumble a legendary manga with a perfect ending, but fucked fucking everything over with that retarded pie ending.
Fuck that faggot.

Katsura is doing just fine, he did character designs and some manga one-shots for Tiger & Bunny and did the character designs for the Double decker T&B spin-off as well as the character designs for Astral Chain recently.
>interest in capeshit
It wasn't just the capeshit part that made it popular though; it was the adult salary man angle since nip fans always say that they liked how Kotetsu never gave up and that they liked how his relationship with Barnaby evolved over time.
>Sunrise never capitalized on its popularity
What? They have been using it a cash cow for years now.
Tiger and Bunny is still well loved and it has been ongoing as multiple manga series with a lot of canon side materials and 2 movies; it also has new collaborations with large brand name companies regularly and has a second season in the works right now so the story is still ongoing beyond the Rising movie, it was still on the list of doujin circles this year and has rarely fallen off the list.

>Komi should just do an Yuri action/romance series

I would watch it for all the romance and all over action.

Mitsuru Adachi

Despite having a manga that sold 100M to his name, and still continues to write excellent works He's become sorta unknown, it's really frustrating. The fact no one talks about Mix is full proof.

I wonder what the Psyren mangaka has been up to. I miss Psyren deeply

>Gash Bell's author was like this while writing Vector Ball. In the end he cancelled it himself because he didn't like how it was turning out.
It got enough buzz and it was actively being translated, but people stopped when he cancelled it.

>Mizukami's newest work got a lot of buzz when it was first revealed but the anime was a flop
It wasn't? It got regular threads here and in Japan it sold well, dunno about merch, but BD sales were above average.

>and the manga is monthly so discussion died out
That's true, but it's the exact same story as anime, so there's nothing to discuss.

>Koe no Katachi's author's current manga is never discussed
I remember it getting solid discussion when user would dump the official rips, but he stopped doing it and nobody picked up.

>Everyone forgot about Golden Kamuy and Ajin
Ajin - maybe, but Golden Kamuy gets threads for every release.

>the ending in general for being rushed and underwhelming.
lmao
author isn't the one who fucked up that, it's from time when newly appointed chief editor cancelled every single series in the magazine, that's why Kenichi, TWGOK, and Hayate all ended abruptly

really sad his current artstyle is moe that looks 15 years behind the times

Isn't he doing Saike? Or did that end?

Magi's anticlimactic final arc was his fault too.
He did it just to tell them to make a new series instead.
Well, as a result, Magi's author switched to Kodansha.

It ended a while ago. He's doing Ponkotsu-chan Kenshouchuu now.

Is it any good?

Probably because Bakuman had some kind of point and they had a wealth of experiences to draw from in creating it.

Are you trying to imply that one of Jump's most popular series somehow isn't "super mainstream"?

A lot of them end up making 1 hit wonders. People tend to not give a shit about their other works no matter how popular that mangaka's previous works were but really, even mangaka's don't expect that one of their works could become super popular. They're kind of just winging it really.

Its popularity has nothing to do with being on mangaplus though. Other mangaplus series don't get discussion because they're not as interesting.

Ichigo 100% will always have a special place on my heart for being my first romcom even though the ending still makes me rage. Too bad the mangaka is forgotten only a few years after it ended.

that's completely different
Dr Slump is popular in nipland, like Gintama
its just Dragon Ball straight up outshine it

That's why mangaka like Rumiko and Adachi are legendary. They did produce multiple megahit series.

Takeuchi pretty much runs her and Togashi's shit. She's a shit artist and writer but she's a very good business woman.

>Bloom Into You and Citrus
Even though Kase-san's the only yuri worth a shit by virtue of not being a drama filled shitfest?

Akamatsu basically sacrificed his popularity for artistic integrity. You can argue the actual merits of said integrity but it takes balls to just end your highly popular series because you're pissed about the editors/publishers trying to take control of it from you.

Most writers only have a single good idea, and it's probably even harder to come up with a second hit if the previous one was popular.
It's shocking how garbage Platinum End is, though. How did anyone think that was a good idea?

Ideas are worthless. You can still have a good manga with the shittiest idea but amazing execution.

They could've done any of the series they did for Bakuman and it would've been awesome. Even if you didn't do Otter #20, I would've loved a PCP manga or even the one about the motorcycle racing.

Americans aren't largely going to know who he is, literally the only work of his available in the west to buy is Cross Game which is a crime honestly. I'm not sure what the per volume sales figures for Mix are but the only info I can find is over 7.5 million in total sales over 14 volumes so it must still be doing alright.

I mean the dude's almost 70 and his first big success (Miyuki) was almost 40 years ago. He's like Rumiko in that he's hit that legendary status and is going to be remembered for a long time, at least in Nipland.

>Everyone forgot about Golden Kamuy
It's even getting released here in my country, and apparently selling well.

The ideas I was referring to was 'let's pitch/draw/publish/print this', not the clusterfucked story, which definitely has no ideas.

He's doing the character designs for the new Sakura Wars game and given how popular that series is (and Sega's looking to try and turn it into a global franchise) he'll probably be absolutely rolling in money and can just get by as a character designer with the occasional one shot or short series.

>He's doing the character designs for the new Sakura Wars
Wait what
There's a new Sakura Wars?

I like the fact that the the To Love Ru duo aren't forgotten

The ones that stick out the most to me are Money and Intelligence, and Classroom of Truth.
But no, let's go with an inferior version of Mirai Nikki.

Project Sakura Wars, comes out in December in Japan and Q2 2020 everywhere else. IIRC they even enlisted the help of the Yakuza team for the cutscenes so they're pretty serious about it. They even managed to bring Michie Tomizawa out of retirement for it.

Hiroyuki Takei
After Shaman King he never made a successful series and his sequels to Shaman King were unneeded and terrible.

Togashi is only second to Oda when it comes to Jump right now.
Nobody my ass. Hunterfags are also autistically dedicated.

>imagine still thinking Bleach will return

Even Kase-san has been loved by famous mangaka too. Famous mangaka are very interested on working with yuri.

Yuri is truly the future.

>Implying that Toriyama was a one-hit wonder
Nigger are you retarded?
Dr. Slump was a massive mega-hit success with a 200+ episode anime + 10 movies and shit tons of merchandise

Dragon Ball is the biggest manga to ever exist and Tori was just fucking around 80% of the time building toy robots and only handing the chapter in the last day of the deadline. He didn't even plan for DB to be that long but it was so crazy popular that he had to continue(both because he wanted to make kids happy and because Shueisha pressured him into continuing).

When he stopped doing Dragon Ball he explicitly said that he would never be working on manga full-time again and that that he will do oneshots and short series from time to time.
You're an actual idiot if you think Jaco was ever supposed to be anything more than a short series.

It's not that Toriyama lacked the talent to do another great long running series it's because he was exhausted of working on manga.

Remember that he's also in charge of the character designs of the most popular Japanese Video Game franchise(Dragon Quest) as well as has done a ton of other works over the years.

I wish you shitters would stop talking about shit you have no clue about.

It was a much bigger success than Gintama.
It was popular enough to get a reboot anime in the 90s and even video games way after Dr. Slump ended its run.
80s Jump era was a whole different beast. I doubt Gintama would have ever survived back then.

People don't understand how huge Dr. Slump actually was.

I like how Kishi's brother is still making up new series despite none of them ever being popular(Though Blazer Drive did get a DS game). The poor guy just really likes doing manga.

Komi Naoshi
After Nisekoi he did a few oneshots and hasn't done anything since.

Bokuben ripped it off so Nisekoi is still fresh on otterfag's minds.

>People don't understand how huge Dr. Slump actually was
Nobody outside of Japan gives a shit about some literally who manga meaning it was never relevant

Toei made Sailor Moon a success.
The manga was actually shit(not that the anime was much better but at least it had great art direction something which the manga lacked)

Because people still reference Nisekoi in the newest romcom discussions. The reality is that Nisekoi was huge and it will be difficult for shit like 5-toubun, Bokuben, or even Kaguya to surpass its popularity.

Speaking of which, isn't Masashi Kishimoto also irrelevant at this point? He hasn't done anything other than write Samurai 8 which is complete shit.

I like the way he draws but goddamn I tried reading I''s and it was so damn boring and slow.

I did like his collaboration with Akira Toriyama a few years back though...although it's clear that Toriyama did the storyboarding(you can notice by that paneling style top kek). More people should check that shit out it was fun.

Raw Hero? It seems to be well-discussed in other sites.

Actually he made King Of Idol, which apparently wasn't well-received and was eventually axed.

Too early to tell honestly, until we start seeing yearly sells of the series I wouldn't really call it a flop just yet. I'd rather wait until around 100 or so chapters to see where the series is heading.

>gaijin matter more than nips when it comes to manga
Guess who actually buy manga and decide which series get axed or not.

It's underwhelming for sure. Even nips are not really talking about it.

That said Dr. Slump was popular in plenty of countries besides Japan and would have been popular if they had ever dubbed the anime in English(which they didn't do aside from a test dub of the first episode because they would have had to do a lot of editing/censoring because of its risque humour)

Dr. Slump sold over 35 Million copies in Japan alone and the Anime was in like top 3 of all time when it comes to viewership/ratings.

You know that it would never happen. Jump will never let Tsutsui do it.

Wish he keep continuing draw manga at his peak, and not burn out

The average character designer doesn't make any more money than the average mangaka. Don't be retarded. They're both art careers with unstable pay.

>The publishers take a big cut in the profits, not really sure how much though. It's the price to pay when you're an amateur writer who's desperate to get your ideas published no matter what.
But he's the author of fucking Re:Zero. Even if the publishers take a big cut of the profits, the remaining money should be enough for him to quit his job.

Physically impossible.
Even Oda is struggling with One Piece and he's not what he used to be. And he never really stretched out to other forms of media like Tori did.

DB was even more popular than OP back then and the Weekly JUMP Magazine itself was selling much much more than it does nowadays and a huge part of that was DB's popularity.
The expectations he put up with were simply insane on top of having one of the most hardass editors of all time and doing work on various video games and other shit.
It's very understandable that he just couldn't go on anymore.

I mean I can't think of another Mangaka who could have gone on for longer if he were in Tori's place...maybe Tezuka...maybe. That's it.

He's definitely not forgotten, but what happened to Nisio's new manga with the same artists as Medaka Box? I remember seeing a thread or two when it launched a few years back and then nothing.

The one with the terminal illness kids?

Pretty sure that one died from no scans. Medaka Box in general wasn't really all that big either.

Arakawa's not forgotten. She's on hiatus because of family matters. Her dad's gotten to an age where he could no longer manage the farm work like before. And not her nor her siblings wants to inherit the family farm. She's the major shareholder of the family business, so I imagine she's busy working with her mother on how to downsize the operation and plan the future of their assets.

Meanwhile, I'm sure a small group of university entrants are probably hoping she stays on hiatus because of what Silver Spoon tv series did

Jump wouldn't care because nobody reads Bokuben

>I'm sure a small group of university entrants are probably hoping she stays on hiatus because of what Silver Spoon tv series did
Explain please.

That's why I mentioned Tezuka.
Toriyama wasn't doing multiple series at the same time but the expectations he had to fulfill were much larger than what Tezuka had to do so it evens out in the manga front.

There are a lot of mangaka who have done multiple series at the same time but as far as quantity goes Tezuka beats them all. He did way too many manga in his lifetime.
As far as expectations go I can't think of a single one who had higher expectations to fulfill than Toriyama during his DB years.

As for other stuff Tori was doing video games, illustrations/designs for other anime, designing mascots/character for magazines etc..
Tezuka got into animation and even produced some films(though he later regretted it saying that the anime he had produced were of low quality)
Hard to decide here who was more influential...Dragon Quest or the various TV anime Tezuka produced?

Well, for one thing Tezuka's Star System is built for efficiency.

I'm actually genuinely curious why none of the modern mangakas seem to do the same thing.

Tezuka was obviously more infuential, he litterally started it all.

Never said that you moron.

Just that you're fucking stupid for thinking that she's only the richest because she has no competition. Are you going to say that the only reason why JK Rowling is one of the richest women in UK is because there aren't any female programmers?

He's even responsible for this

The TV series caused a temporary surge of interest for the agricultural lifestyle, and local university entrants for agricultural courses in the Hokkaido area had to compete with a spike in applicants numbers.

>Are you going to say that the only reason why JK Rowling is one of the richest women in UK is because there aren't any female programmers
Yes. If women knew how to make money like men then the richest women would not be artists.

I think Kishimoto's new manga is going to peter out.

Detective Conan. It is basically irrelevant now. If he ends it he'll be forgotten soon. None of his other works take off.

I wonder what the producers were thinking when they were putting together the voice acting and photorealistic CGI

but japs still love it. the latest movie sold really well iirc

Prison School ended?
What happened?

Not to mention the first antagonist was a shallow rehash of Light Yagami with brainlet reasoning for his motive.

And the current guy has some similarities to L.

>>Irrelevant
>>movie outsold End Game in Japan on opening weekend
I fucking wish Conan is irrelevant. Aoyama needs to move on but the industry won't let him

How old is the guy anyway? Is there any chance that he dies before finishing the manga. Mangaka are not known for their good health.

Many of Bakuman's in-universe manga would make good IRL manga.

theres a 4/5 chance that people will at least be ok with it. Only sure way to ruin it is to pick ituski the the only without a fanbase as the other 4 have from mild to strong fanbases.

She's freakishly rich. That woman is a talented businesswoman and has enough money to do whatever she wants when it comes to manga.

>That's true, but it's the exact same story as anime, so there's nothing to discuss.
you can always discuss

His art got really good at the end. I hope he hasn't gone out of practice.

The movie sold well. The manga is on a decline for the past 10 years. Nobody care anymore and I'm talking in Nipland.

Anyone know what happen to the mangaka that did Prince of Tennis?

It's still ongoing

New Prince of Tennis is ongoing

That has nothing to do with being a good businesswoman

I was referring to Tori's influence on Jap video games vs Tezuka's influence on Anime.
Which influence was bigger in their respective fields?

Don't even go there. Tezuka ripped off Disney and various other American shit first.

Aoyama had another hit before Detective Conan in Yaiba.
I think he could make another great work after Conan but either he will retire or he will die while making Conan leaving it unfinished.

Rumiko Takahashi

Let me paint a picture of her major works and sale numbers.
Urusei Yatsura 1978-1987 26 million sales.
Maison Ikkoku 1980-1987 25 million sales.
(Also yes if you read the years right, two big manga at the same time. Both got anime series.)
Ranma ½ 1987–1996 53 million sales.
Inuyasha 1996–2008 45 million sales.

Rin-Ne 2009-2017, 3 million sales, lower than her breakout manga series...
She now has "Mao", started in 2019 I know nothing about it, just hope it goes well for her.

I actually sympathize with his motives. He's one of many doujin artists who eventually became mangaka so the copyright bullshit being pulled would undoubtedly screw over people in Akamatsu's former position. Still miss Negima.

Money, duh

Never knew about that. I know fujoshi play a large role for this series but how was the sales?

she's the richest woman in japan
i dont think that counts as "nobody"

talk about dragon quest, how the hell did Enix get Tori to work with them at the height of Tori's popularity?

What exactly did Tezuka steal from Disney?

I honestly thought she had sold more than that.
Respectable figures but nothing amazing in the grand scheme of things.

I'm more impressed with Togashi being able to consistently sell over 1 million copies with each HxH volume despite him doing like a volume a year and not even putting much effort anymore.
How does he do it? How did he brainwash millions of people into consistently buying his shit?

You can be a rich nobody, it's their popularity in the manga world we're discussing, not their achievements with cash and money hoarding.
I can't remember the last time someone even mentioned Inuyasha.

but people still talk about Rum, Ranma to this day

>This fight will never be animated
why even live?

Artists take inspirations from each other all the times, but what Disney did with Kimba was not even a ripoff, it was highway robbery.
>youtube.com/watch?v=UfJvKIDS9n8

I would have said Takehiko Inoue if he didn't get that anime for Vagabond.
Seriously how did that farming simulator get an anime?

Even Kimba/Simba is too close for comfort lmao.
The fact they knew who he was and he worked with them... It's obvious.

No idea at all gets you completely lost. They need some material to work with.

The whole art-style itself?
Tezuka never hid this. He was a massive fan of Disney and watched every Disney films multiple times(he was said to have watched Bambi 80 times).

The influence Disney had on him is indisputable.

Still hurts

People are influenced by others all the time. That's not stealing. The difference between TLK and Kimba is that TLK directly ripped off the story and characters from Kimba and just changed their names. Tezuka never did that with Disney's works.

Norihiro Yagi, new manga is godlike on my opinion don´t know if is selling,,

Stockholm syndrome. It's the only one left of the old guard before the big 3 came, and 'anime was better'.
Same reason Saint Seiya, Dragon Ball and rehashes of old shit sell tons. By no means they were good, but they were from an age where shit was better than what we have today.
HxH is also not that bad. Granted it doesn't deserve all the asslicking that Hunterfags do, but it has yet to go full trainwreck like Naruto or Bleach did.

I wouldn't say at the height of his popularity since he got way more popular after 1986...but then again they also got Koichi Sugiyama who was a massively popular composer.

There's actually a story about that. Toriyama's first editor Kazuhiko Torishima was very involved with Dragon Quest even happening and he put Toriyama in charge of the character designs.

Look I fucking hate Lion King that piece of shit overrated movie. I always hated it ever since I was a kid.
But give me a fucking break. Ripping off one single work doesn't compare to ripping off an entire art-style...and even Astro Boy was vastly inspired from Disney's version of Pinocchio.

Apparently he got into a scandal for humping and knocking up a cosplayer at comiket.

Also have to point out that it wasn't Walt Disney who ripped off Kimba but the company he left behind.

Nah he's just not popular in US. Pretty sure asian countries and especially Nipland still eat his stuff.
I will join you in the Mix threads if I can senpai.

Heard he commit suicide.

But I've never seen such a thing before.
Don't give me that big 3 shit that's autistic American shit that never existed in Japan.

Bleach had quite a few Stockholm Syndrome fags but it kept dropping in sales even though Kubo released volumes regularly.

I've never in my life seen a fanbase this goddamn devoted as HxH in my life.
Togashi went 4 fucking years without releasing a single volume at one point and they still buy his shit in droves.
And all this despite Togashi giving his fans napkin scribbles many times(and sometimes even the redrawn art in the volumes themselves isn't that great)

Not him, but he's right. It's true that it's harder to become rich by being artist, but it's also true that if you do become rich, you're likely to become way richer than vast majority of programmers. The reason is that artists popularity follows the rich-get-richer dynamics and so do their earnings, but programmers' incomes, with rare exceptions, only grow linearly.

This. The pay increase eventually stops and the only ones who break higher above the $100k, are contributing more than programming or they live in california so $100k isn't even a lot of money.

You could just start reading the manga and see for yourself ? It's not that hard.

No he isn't and you're either samefagging or retarded.
>if you do become rich, you're likely to become way richer than vast majority of programmers
No fucking shit. But guess what? If you become rich working in STEM, you're likely to become richer than EVERY artist in the world. The richest people in the world work in Silicon Valley. Not Hollywood.
>The reason is that artists popularity follows the rich-get-richer dynamics and so do their earnings, but programmers' incomes, with rare exceptions, only grow linearly.
Artists getting rich is also a "rare exception" if you haven't figured that out yet. Working in STEM doesn't guarantee you wealth, but it sure has a higher chance than working in art. The main reward for art is popularity, not wealth.

The guy that wrote my wife wagatsuma. He did one other manga and then completely dropped off the earth completely. His artist started a new series this year it would seem.
Also, the alice in borderlands mangaka.

I thought you were talking about programmers, not entrepreneurs.

Kubo hasn’t come out with anything but a one shot and we were all chomping at the bit for it.

Wakaki is the prime example, he’s had three series since TWGOK and no one’s given a fuck about any of them.

Entrepreneurs can be programmers. The point is that STEM creates products that can make much more money than art. Obviously settling with being a wageslave in any field won't make you rich.

He marries that 20 years old cosplayer at age of 51. That's impressive in many way.

How was Nisekoi more popular than Kaguya when it was so bad? Legit question, I just don’t understand it.

Well I guess we agree on that. And if you count entrepreneurs then yes, closest thing to an artist earning as much as richest of them are fashion brand owners.

What the fuck is Ishida Sui doing nowadays?

Shit or not never matters in shonen's romcom. Love Hina and Strawberry 100% is an absolute disaster in terms of story and characterization but it fulfills a lot teenage boy's fantasies in their own generations, the late 90's and 2000's. For this decade's it's Nisekoi. You can expect another title will be popular in the next decade.

no competition

He died.

Takahashi, though he probably doesn't give a fuck since he's drowning in Yugioh royalties money

Oh! Great is an underrated genius and ahead of his time. Someday people will consider him a great revolutionary in story telling.

That dude who drew Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou (Daily Lives of Highschool boys). I heard he only draws obscure Touhou doujins nowadays.

He rarely even draws 2hus anymore, mostly just boatsluts now.

>The publishers take a big cut in the profits, not really sure how much though.
if it's anything like most industries (music, movie etc) it's a large chunk, like 60~80%.
A good portion of mangaka have probably sold the rights to their series for a pittance and been forced to watch it get mega popular and earn some fatcunt businessman millions.
Or worse, that happens but you had signed a contract saying you'd work for said fatcunt for a couple of more years, so he forces you to write/draw manga you thought you were done with.
That's what happened to Dragon Ball/DBZ. It was only canon up to end of Namek saga but they forced Toriyama to make more. That's why the power levels, Super Saiyan stages and fusions get so fucked up and crazy from then on... because Freiza having a power lvl of 1million and goku turning into a Super Saiyan was supposed to be the climax of the whole series before ending for good shortly after.

He's now working as character designer on a mobage about voice actressess, so it seems like he's going to keep doing idol related stuff.

Conan's target audience has always been 8~12 year old kids. It's basically gone the way of Doraemon, Sazae-san and Crayon Shin-chan of being a never-ending series that picks up new younger fans as it's existing ones stop giving a shit about it.

Honestly, it's probably just easier to list the mangaka who have had more than one big series...

It's a manga about murder investigations, sometimes really gruesome murders too. It's for a typical shounen audience. Story is coming to the end too. Maybe first read the things you talk about first, retard.

>went right back to Kodansha with his tail between his legs once his own manga app failed
>his current series is written in an even shittier way than the end of Negima
Yeah, I don't think artistic integrity is at play here. He's just a hack.

I would be surprised if most of these mangaka posted here will live past the ages Tezuka and his contemporaries prematurely died in.

They probably overwork themselves even more than their predecessors did in this saturated market.

Kiyoshi confesses to Chiyo, she accepts. Hana goes mental and pounces on him, rips his pants off and reveals he's wearing Hana's panties. She landed right on his stomach while he had a full bladder so he pees all over Hana and Chiyo. Chiyo is mindbroken, abrupt timeskip later and she's now the USC president and a manhating bitch like her sister. I think she throws the boys in prison again too.

and now noone will ever follow the author's manga ever agaim

All the Adachi manga have terrible ending and Mix is still one of the best selling manga today

Title? That sounds interesting.

Baton Relay, I think.
twitter.com/baton_relay

Even at it's height it sold around 200k, 5-toubun doubles that number, Kaguya also outsells it.

Rinne would've been fine if it was shorter, not sure why it needed to be that fucking long. It went on longer than most of her work despite not being popular.

Probably hiding from his ex-wives lawyers.

It is impressive but the mangaka is facing heavy dilemma regarding his recent two marriages. He could survive but his legal fees and alimony fees will ruin him for good.

Hiroki Endo. Eden it's an Endless World was popular with the cyberpunk crowd and people on here were digging All Rounder Meguru when it was going and mma was just getting big.
His vampire manga has not one chapter scanlated and nobody brings up his previous two works anymore.
To be fair there's two sides of it because his vampire manga maybe sold well enough in Japan and it did get licensed in France.

He isn't good, but he's better than his brother.

He was never even that big. If we're going to name literal whos my pick is Kei Sanbe (Kamiyadori, Cradle of Monsters, The Town Where I Was KEKED) who literally ceased to exist after that blunder of anime.

How did she manage to do 2 successful series at the same time? Were they weekly manga or monthly?

I think Naoko Takeuchi would be completely forgotten if not for her husband.
Granted I don't think she really did much post Sailor Moon

Urasawa Naoki

What happened to the lady who did Fruits Basket?

Did a few manga later and then went to Fruits Basket from what wikipedia says.

Bec many people find HxH genuinely good. There is no deeper reason to it.

If being inspired by something is "stealing" then literally everyone is a thief. Not just mangaka, but also musicians, entrepreneurs, etc.

For fuck's sake,guys. There are mangaka who are not making anything these days, or their latest works are not as successful as before, but they are not forgotten by any means because they have achieved that legendary status, such as
>Rumiko Takahashi
>Mitsuru Adachi
>Naoko Takeuchi
>Kazuki Takahashi
And then you have mangaka who are on hiatus but whenever they come back, their manga sell like hot cakes
>Hiromi Arakawa
>Katsura Hoshino
>Takehiko Inoue
The true forgotten authors are one who makes a single hit (but not that big in the grand scheme of things) only to have nobody talk about their subsequent works. Tamiki Wakaki is a prime example.
You need to differentiate between one hit wonders and the ones who have achieved it all.

Katsura said drawing for Tiger and Bunny made him prefer drawing men instead, Kirill and Barnaby are both supposed to be masculine but good looking enough to look more beautiful than women in-universe. He also enjoyed designing Max for Double decker because he had never done a character in her style before.

Saying that her manga isn't popular is like saying that Miyazaki isn't popular just because he doesn't make films anymore. Makes no sense. Urusei Yatsura, Maison Ikkoku and Ranma are basically classics by this point

When Fujishima started Ah My Goddess, he was K1. He was an incel bullied by his peers, seeing hmself as a "nice guy" when actually he was a doormat and with an unrequited crush on some pretty girl. He wrote about all his fantasies on Ah My Goddess and his manga could connect with other incels struggling with the socioeconomic changes at the time. The thing is Fujishima moved on. He married, had kids and got a misstress while K1 had to remain the same for stretching the manga because the incels took Belldandy as their virtual girlfriend.

He did AMG after he was finished with Dirty Pair you idiot.

His latest manga Asadora has an odd schedule, one chapter released every 2 months, no wonder noone cares about it.

Fujishima has no relation with Dirty Pair. If you mean You're Under Arrest, he started it in 1986, 2 years before AMG, but it was the latter the one that made him a household name in the industry

uh ok?

Gash Bell itself still gets the occasional thread and also it's getting a kanzenban rerelease or something now so there's that
Golden Kamuy still gets discussed and S3 of the anime was announced recently

Stupidly late reply but a lot of people did that back then. UY was weekly, I know Maison Ikkoku was in a different magazine but it was probably bi weekly since its not that long Rin-Ne didn't sell well because it simply wasn't good. MAO is a lot more interesting so far even though its still early days. Taking a lot from Inuyasha but still is different enough. That alone will probably produce more sales

The saddest thing is he never finished Hi no Tori, what he considered his magnum opus.

It’s too bad cage of eden never got an anime.

Shotaro Ishinomori has the Guinness record of most comic titles under his name and he died at age 60. According to Gekiman, Nagai wanted to emulate his master Ishinomori and made multiple mangas but he realized it was impossible for him. Nagai is currently 73 years old.

Shigeru Mizuki once said that he could never understand the mangakas who felt proud of sleeping only 4 hours. He liked to draw mangas but he liked to sleep too. Mizuki died in his early 80s

Fujishima isn't hideous but the cosplayer is obviously with him for money. Fujishima even got her a role in a game.

Fujishima's children with his first wife are already legal and I don't think he had children with his mistress so there's not aligmony here. The problem was that Fujishima's mistress lived in an apartment that he owned and just like that their relationship ended

Yet you still didn't make a thread on it.

Let's say you make a million dollars off your series. Then what? What happens 40 years later, that money won't last forever unless you live frugal as shit. But if he works as a butcher for another 5 years or so, he can easily just retire AND spend his money like a mad man.

WHEW I heard he was a great artist but this is literally lazy sameface syndrome.

He's too repetitive. Other authors have recurring themes and characters, but not too that extent. I watched Touch when it aired on television decades ago (as Bateadores) and I'm pretty sure I had enough Adachi for a lifetime, because even though I'm still fond of it, I'm still incapable of reading anything else of his. It feels like I'm getting an inferior version and I should just read or watch Touch again.

This is totally happening to Nico Tanigawa; that's why for the past year they've been dragging the shit out of Watamote.

Shame about Literature girl (fake); it was pretty good.

CLAMP
They did character designs for some upcoming anime, and CCS Clear Card-hen was a thing I guess. But other than that they've completely disappeared. Did the fans finally get sick of their non-plots and tsubasashit?

They're still doing the Clear Card manga.
Who knows if they'll ever go back to anything that's on hiatus though.

>The publishers take a big cut in the profits, not really sure how much though
In the western world, most big book publishers offer 5% royalties, 10% if you have major clout. And you don't even see those royalties until you pay off your advance.

I think Haqua was actually pretty damn popular. To me Haqua even seemed like the most logical choice. She even had the best character development and definitely the best scenes with Keima.

>they're all doing the same pose

that's why it failed

Kishimoto's kind of an interesting guy just based on who he knows.

>made one of the most successful manga series ever
>his brother just does whatever the fuck he feels like whether successful or not
>Kishimoto was classmates with the bassist of Number Girl in college

Don't have to imagine it. Captain Tsubasa for example inspired some world class footballers like Messi and Torres to take up the sport. Manga's been affecting people before you and I were born.

Even if you ignore that he did art for three very popular series look at his former assistants.

>Nobuhiro Watsuki
>Katsura Hoshino
>Kentaro Yabuki
>Yusuke Murata

That's pretty fucking impressive and a legacy to be proud of in and of itself.

Nah Touch is actually the weak version of his newer series. The drama of Tatsuya and the love triangle are shit. The baseball part is abysmal and the artwork is outdated. At least by the time of Rough his artstyle got better.

56 years old but his breaks are becoming more and more frequently. Usually missing a week or two after a story arc for "research" (i.e. he's doing the bulk of the work for the next arc ahead of time without as much of a deadline) but there's been a few instances over the last few years where he's had to take breaks for health reasons, most recently having to be persuaded by his editor to take a 4 month sabbatical at the start of 2018.

Why isn't Tsugumomo that popular on Yea Forums? It's a great ecchi battle manga and the art is god tier. Other series are 10x more popular with bare minimum tits and ass.

Like Captain Tsubasa, Slam Dunk, Hikaru no Go, etc.
It's an amazing feat, having people that follow the passion of your fictional characters in the real world.

It used to get translation threads but then mods started deleting them for some reason.
Guess they finally gave up.

That's such BS. It's a non-h series, no more lewd than To Love-Ru where Yabuki will draw vaginas in the fucking reflections.

>some reason
maybe that reason is the fact its a shonen thats borderline /h/ even more than To love ru and ghost inn

>vaginas in the fucking reflections
I still dont understand how that works with the laws about Gentials especially in a fucking shonen manga

Adachi was also doing Miyuki and Touch at the same time.

Even with assistants it still takes a lot even just to actually write an entire series. Cuvie does two ongoing series (monthly, but still with the larger seinen page counts) and regular hentai work and she's been on vacation to Europe twice in the last year yet I don't think has had to put her stuff on hiatus. Even if she's relying on assistants for most of the art (i.e. background and extra characters or whatever) that's still pretty impressive.

Especially when you compare it to western comic artists who have to draw around 20 pages a month and (usually) don't even ink and color their own shit and if you get one for more than 3 or 4 issues without having to have someone fill in for an arc that's impressive.

Amano Akira of Reborn! eidLIVE flopped so hard...

Nico's kind of a weird case. They (and I doubt their publisher) didn't expect Watamote to go more than like two or three volumes but Yea Forums found it and helped it to blow up. It got popular enough to get an anime but its popularity died out not long after that and it stayed under the radar for a few years. Now it's slowly worked its way back up to being a respectable cult hit with fairly consistent sales numbers in the 30k-40k range which isn't mega-popular but it does well and its fanbase seems pretty loyal and willing to spend money ($1500 on a Nemo sketch for instance).

I don't think they'll have any luck with anything else once Watamote ends because I think Watamote feels a lot more personal to a lot of readers in a way so nothing will ever have that connection. But they'll totally end it to do a college sequel series.

I wonder about those who were rookies and upcoming promises, but after two or three cancellations, disappeared from the medium.

Lol that was him? That was way better than Naruto.

In other words he can still get fucked tremendously by both women right financially right?

I think he's still fucked regardless the situation.

The isekai arc is fucking terrible

What about veteran mangaka who keeps being axed again and again? Like Kano Yasuhiro (Pretty Face, MxO, Kagami no Kuni no Harisugawa )

still mad

I feel bad for him because of Mx0 but I will never forgive him for what he did with Kagami no Kuni.

did she learn nothing form her mistakes or is it actually a decent series with no recognition

It's funny that even fucking LDY is doing isekai these days. Well, you can't say he's not kept up with the time.

Seo is making a flop romcom about mangaka in wsm.
Nihei is making another scifi with decent sale in sirius, tho some autists on Yea Forums still mad about his new artstyle.

Seo is doing a manga on manga. He's waiting for the right chance to do that isekai spinoff.

>Seo is making a flop romcom about mangaka in wsm.

Seo should do a Yuri manga series since his new one is flopping hard. Even Kei Sasuga should do a Yuri series focusing on lesbian relationships and NTR at it's finest.

All my fucks YES!!!!

I think he settle things with the woman he was living with out of court, they weren't married but she argued that it was a common in law marriage or some shit like that. As for Nekomu the girl he married, apparently she was the one who approached him since she was a big fan of his and even cosplay several of his creations. Might be a gold digger or might be someone who had a thing for him since she was a fan, the two are still together so eh.

Is Seo's manga as good as Bakuman?

Is she still cosplaying or just fell off the map and will probably become a single mom soon?

It proves that isekai protagonists can return to their homeworld.

Yeah sure, a fan of one of the most blatant male wish-fulfillment mangas ever. Cosplayers are looking for geek attention and Belldandy is an iconic waifu so it's not unusual she cosplay as her and other goddesses in many occasions but the only good reason to read AMG is to pretend to be K1. I mean until the magical castration reveal

eidLIVE was god awful. That shit made Reborn look like a master piece.

If we were to be honest, the only real reason why Reborn was successful was because it had a mostly bishiboy cast that attracted all the fujo fangirls.

When the anthropomorphic rabbits appeared i stopped reading.

She went to a fan signing of his and that's how they met, there's a whole chronological order on how things went down on some 5ch post.

Well his Kiss x Death managed to run to completion without being axed.

I do hope he gets a bigger break though. He deserved more

After the vampire one, he published a new one: Planet of The Fools .
First chapter got out few days ago.
I don't like it.

user, popular media influencing people's actions is not an impossible idea. Slam Dunk caused a fad about basketball for asian kids in the 90's, Hikaru no Go caused a spike in popularity of competitive go. I mentioned football because it happens to have some successful high profile examples.

I realized Oda's work won't be flying in industry nowadays

How's his ongoing series Satanophany doing?

Who is the tezuka/rumiko of this generation in terms of not being a one-trick pony (i.e have more than one or two popular works)? Mizukami is the only one that really comes to mind for me, but even then he isn't uber popular.

Tezuka/Talahashi's have produced A LOT of acclaimed works. I think we should be more stringent than just "more than one".

Only one I can think of is Obata, though he's only the artist. Three titles that made it big. And he's also worked on numerous other series

Plenty of mangaka aren't one trick ponies but they don't sell girillion.

this issue is slightly different: it's just another world, no cheat skills, no game mechanics or any of the really cancerous stuff.

That's a damn shame, I fucking loved two season of Natsu no Arashi. Didn't managed to read the manga before forgot about it, thanks to scan group being slowpoke.

The lampshading in bakuman is way more interesting than the actual story of bakuman. Characters talk about using less screen-tone to improve the art, and bakuman uses less screen-tone, and the art ends up lots better for it. Same when talking about paneling, and most other aspects of craft. When reading bakuman, it's more fun to root for Obata, than it is to root for Muto Ashirogi, or any of their competitors.
