    You've never seen real manga art until you've seen the way Vagabond is drawn. Takehiko Inoue, Hirohiko Araki and Kentaro Miura are probably one of the most talented manga artists alive and they deserve all the praise and credit for their work.

    The absolute best. Or some may say, "Invincible Under The Sun."
  • @BadAssMacmillan
    Slam dunk and vagabond are two of my favourite mangas of all time! this guy is amazing!
  • @Darkiver
    lol why did CNN go with sample images of the first Slam Dunk volume to showcase his art work when virtually any random page of Real or Vagabond would have actually shown off his full (and...modern) skill.
  • @Th3Passerby
    I believe REAL is his masterpiece... Realistic, inspiring, easy to relate characters and the chracter development(and regression) are what makes REAL just a bit better than Vagabond and Slamdunk.

  • slam dunk left a huge impression on me, i can't get the vision of his art out of my mind!! this man is such a talented and dedicated artist and storyteller.
  • @Vikingpser
    It makes me very upset that no one talks about his best work 'Real'
  • @yessilucas3736

  • @SuprSilvr
    He is so damn good, especially with the faces.
  • Vagabond is in my opinion one of the greatest Manga/History Documentary today. I hope we will get a new chapter soon.
  • @MegaMessi00
    I want to go to japan just to meet this guy
  • @bulaluigi
    I know it's not his most important feature, but he should also get credit for being the handsomest mangaka in the business
  • @morkeiichi3239
    slam dunk is easily one of the best manga - one of the best comics - period.

    Naoki Urasawa makes me realize a manga can be like a film. The story telling amazed me. Takehiko Inoue makes me realize manga is so amazing as his arts and impact on me wows me!
