Who's the better artist, Takehiko Inoue (Vagabond) or Inio Asano (Oyasumi Punpun)?

Inoue
Neither of them, I'll have to go with the third option: Yoshihiro Togashi
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
someone pull out the art for "O MY RUBBER NEN"
Togashit barely even manages to finish his art half the time you little shits should be happy when he or his assistants do or when you get a chapter.
Based peabrain
He's right though. Manga isn't about who can draw the most detailed set of abs. It's about being able to effectively use the format to convey humanity and meaning through paneling and composition. Togashi is a master of fundamentals, paneling and creating memorable page composition. The man is a genius who can set up his scenes from interesting pov angles that are able to put in contrast what each scene is exactly trying to portray. As an example, I'll direct you to this page which is one my favorites of Togashi's magnum opus. Let me break it down for you:
The head shot of Gon breaks the boundaries of the first panel, which already takes up almost the entire first half of the page, making him feel imposing and setting the tone. His pointing hand is aimed right at the eyes of the reader and it seems to hover above the page, making it feel close and uncomfortable.
The reactions to his words are framed around the hand, small and unimportant. The final panel is a shot of the enemy's feet, giving the idea that they're looking down in defeat and submission.
Other examples
Punpun guy can only trace.
Well at least it's not that shitty spread that gets posted every single time someone talks about togashi's art.
His stuff can be good from time to time but in general he's inconsistent in quality and style
ITT: idiots wanking the shit out of togashi just to feel validated when discussing about how their preffered shounen manga is suppossedly better than the rest of the trash it belongs with.
Araki and miura are better at paneling and their art doesn't suck ass like togashi's
