>>145196245is that the one from the story where her son is her husband reincarnated and he's got the hots for her or something?
Katie Rice
Dannphan
Katia Even, and Marina Duclos.
Ramona Fradon, I read pic related like a month ago, it's a biography of her and it's so sweet. She was really talaented and deserves more respect but because she passed away this year she got a big spoonful of respect.
>>145196245Ramona Fradon, who got a sticky and 90% of the posts in it said they had no idea who she was despite her being a prolific and talented golden age artist who didn't stop drawing until she was 90
Minna Sundberg has reached levels of based that shouldn't even be possible.
>>145196425FPBPOP BTFO
>>145196245>>145196425Who's she?
>>145197981I'm guessing by the art, that it's the Ranma 1/2 artist.
>>145197981Rumiko Takahashi, the creator of Urusei Yatsura, Ranma 1/2, and Inuyasha. Fun fact, her style was extremely influential on early internet art, which is why so many 90s webcomics have a character that looks almost identical to the way she drew herself in OP's image.
>>145196425>Is also the richest mangaka in history, her manga selling 170 million copies.It's funny how feminists whine about Japan being some regressive shithole when she and other female mangaka are far more sucessful than their western counterparts.
>>145196245>>145198203For me? It's Arakawa.>Gets complaints from her Japanese female fans that she draws too many muscle men and not enough twinky boys, and that her women are too busty>Her response is "I love drawing big hunky muscle men and women that go vavoom and will continue to do so"
>>145198241Do you have her FMA afterwords where her editor tries to insert a love triangle in her story and she flatly refuses?
>>145196245Leah Williams
>>145198309Can't seem to find it, but I did find this and it made me laugh
>>145196425Yes.
>>145198354Post more so /co/ anons will experience what a stacy she is.
>>145198114Shiiiit, now I realize that it reminds me of Piro from Megatokyo.
>>145198203She’s the second richest mangaka
>>145198530Let me guess who's the first, Oda (One Piece) right?
>>145198542You guessed correctly, although Takahashi was the richest for a looooooong time so I can understand why that anon got mixed up. A ton of that just came from Urusei Yatsura too, it's kind of weird to think of from outside of Japan but both the show and manga were fucking juggernauts there. Stylistically one of the singular most influential series there right up there with Dragonball and Astroboy.
>>145198203Envy, pure and simple.
>>145197651Ramona is really good.There were also some very good artists who worked for Fiction House during WW2 like Lily Renee and Fran Hopper who I would rate as some of the best GA artists
>>145198563She's had at least one top-selling hit series every decade since the 80s.
>>145196425Comments like these are always funny to me because like 99% of stories written by men have exactly these kind of self-inserts but when a woman writer does the exact same thing it's som kind of shocking aberration.
I think most people would have said Tracy Butler before the Lackadaisy pilot came out. Now, I'm not so sure.
Does Lauren Faust count or do her naysayers negate that?
Based as in good?No. I have yet to read a single great comic by a woman.Based as in entertaining and acceptable? Suuure.People got mad at me last thread months ago but women just cannot make great comics, and they will never be in my top 10.Stick to movies.
>>145199784Yes but the bulk of her money came from UY, that was a money-printing machine and was airing at the height of Japan's economic boom so people were shoving their disposable income at her.
>>145196245Peach Momoko, writer and artist of Ultimate X-Men, currently one of Marvel's biggest titles.
>>145196245Stephanie Cherrywell.Based and funny despite being a lesbian and left leaning(albeit early 2000s left, so like, Anti-Iraq War and Pro Civil Unions)(Also funnily enough took a ton of artstyle inspiration from OP especially early on) >>145198114Yep
>>145199829You can really only tell if they describe eye color too much. That’s literally it
>>145200326>Peach MomokoTalk about redundant.
>>145196245Jan Duursema
>>145196245Was she Lesbian or was she just good at drawing women?
>>145201265I highly doubt she would have gotten extremely popular in Bubble era Japan if she was gay
>>145196591>>145196613>>145196635>>145197651>>145198337>>145199830Literal whos
>>145198563When people ask for the top 3 most influencial manngakas, I always think of 1st Tezuka and 2d Toriyama, but for the 3d one, I can't decide between Takahashi and Nagai.
>>145196245Wendy Pini obviously
>>145201218There's a couple books John Ostrander did through crowdfunding, Kros: Hallowed Ground with art by Tom Mandrake and Hexer Dusk with art by Jan Duursema. She's handling both campaigns on Indiegogo if you buy them.Yes I'm shilling these books for free
>>145201427I think it depends on how you're looking at the influence. In terms of style Takahashi basically codified what people think of as the "anime" tropes of today, but Nagai was the inspiration for an absolute metric shitload of people to get into drawing in the first place. They might share a third place honestly.

>>145198114Huh…wow
>>145202150Am I the only one getting "Homestuck OC" from this?
>>145204489She has flat out said Kagome was hard to write because she is 'nothing like her during her school days' though. And that is not to get into the fact that both her and Akane are only mad because both Ranma and Inuyasha ARE total jackasses who go out of their way to be abrasive on purpose.

>>145196245>absolutely dominates the american comic book market in your path
>>145196245>>145196245Inuyasha is the only manga I can think of that literally has a filler arc in the middle of it. They're right fucking there at Naraku's lair and suddenly the Band of Seven show up to cockblock actual plot progression.
>>145207228Meredith Gran is probably one of the best women artists of all time and probably the best of the 21st century. The storytelling she does is great and its only gotten better over the years.>Man I used to read the hell out of Octopus Pie when I was in High SchoolSame, I'm glad I found it when I did. How long ago was it since you found it?>Kinda crazy seeing physical OP comics at the library I work atNever saw the books at any library I've been to but I'm happy you see them at your job, anon.

>>145196245The Ranma remake is so shit that I hardly would call her "based", I know she only gave the thumbs up because she likes money, but that remake sucked ass and I'm glad it was leaked months earlier than it's intended October 5 release
>>145207359Mexicans actually love Ranma, but they do seem to be hating on the remake now since they changed the dub voices for latam
>>145209978Nice feet
>>145196425And not only did her works sold a lot, but several of her works got anime adaptations, OVAs, and movies; UY and Ranma got remakes, and Inuyasha got an animated sequel.But I agree that Akane and Kagome are terrible love interests; Shinobu did have a justifiable reason to beat Ataru up; and I genuinely believe that she was coping that Lum stole the spotlight when she made Ranma.
>>145207678gave me my new favorite reaction image
>>145196245I mean in sheer volume rumiko beats basically everyone else considering how she has been making weekly manga for almost 50 years, though obviously in terms of quality you have bigger competence in urasawa,nihei, Inoue, araki, arakawa, etc
>>145196476>>145196580is there an equivalent to mal to check for their work? (and other western artists)
>>145210226>Urasawa>Nihei>Inoue>ArakiBut these are all men?
>>145196245why we couldn't have someone like her?
>>145197684>being so autistic that you turn into an American libertarian edgelord revelling in being an asshole and then an American Christian, just because you watched what the YouTube algorithm fed you while drawing your comic, coupled with not being able to cope with intrusive thoughts like "what if I crashed my car into that tree?" and "What if God IS real?" after finally getting a driving license in your 30s I still can't believe it. She even had her religious mother that she could have started going to church with again, the natural path, but instead she went full autismo and found the one tiny congregation that's working on the same American Christian values as all the youtube videos she watched.

>>145212217That's all revisionist nonsense by troons. Go read the actual chapters
>>145196245We had Zone, LONG long ago.CanaryPrimary is probably female?
>>145212433Zone was proven a man, LONG long ago.CanaryPrimary could very well be a girl though
>>145212448Oh right I forgot about Zone being male. Because it was too LONG long ago. Made me hate him for keeping on baiting with his OC, which is basically all he does these days.I can name some female artists which are shit... but it doesn't matter since they are as lost as Zone.
>>145212433>>145212448Canary claims to be a man but the subject matter has this odd touch that makes me feel like it genuinely might be an attempt to keep internet weirdos at bay and he's actually a she. Really cutesy content, focus on what the girl's thinking, seems to spend extra attention on making the men look handsome, etc.
>>145196245Does Lauren Faust count? She designed characters for Them Fightin Herds when Hasbro forbid them to use their characters which is based.
>>145212474>focus on what the girl's thinkingThe best kind of smut, also it's not as blunt as art by guys is. We don't get enough of that. I'm SO bored and digging through mountains of AI certainly doesn't help. I thought the rasta hair dog was her (?) self insert OC desu."seems to spend extra attention on making the men look handsome" Really? They often seem to be the dorky type.
>>145200412Good example for the OP comparison, but Steph’s artstyle diverged a ton later on
>>145212512>The best kind of smut, also it's not as blunt as art by guys isYeah I agree, it's part of what makes their stuff so good.>Really? They often seem to be the dorky type.Sometimes they're dorky sure, but they're still drawn in a way that's very attractive from a woman's point of view. I've personally known a lot of girl artists in my life and the way the guy draws men makes me think he's either actually a woman or the most in-touch-with-his-girl-side bisexual I've ever seen.
>>145212528Still funny though
>There are other people that suspect CanaryPrimary of being a girlI KNEW I WASNT ALONETHEY CALLED ME CRAZY
>>145212535But its also not unrealistic expectations (still can't fulfill them so I decide to die alone).
>>145212542i don't get it
>>145209978>Meredith Gran, Octopus PieI wish she drew more of her characters like this. Or at least Eve and Will.
>>145212217>thinking early anime is anything but someone's fetish
>>145213660>Urusei Yatsura>"early" animeJesus Christ
>>145214137time is relative. if you want to be pedantic about what eras count as early in relation to modern times, then go ahead.
>>145213660yes, lesbianism and trannyism are the creator's fetishes who is a woman, that was the point.
>>145196245Could be Sarah Andersen if she stopped doing Sarah's Scribbles and focused on full narratives.
>>145214290What are her full narratives? I thought she only done the square panel stuff.
>>145214165No it isn't. A show that debuted some 30 years after the medium began is not "early". By that point the medium had been established and had its own culture and identity.
>>145212689Making fun of Brittany Mania.That comic was from 2007

>>145214757Fangs & Cheshire Crossing
>>145217138Agreed
>>145196425why can't westoids do it then?she basically wrote the recipe already, you just gotta adopt it
>>145203753>>145212217Meds, now your risperidone is about to expire
>>145212476>>145199850lol first thing that came to mind as wellI'd say she's the closest due to her style's recognizability and staying power, but America's producer-focused system fucked her over. She doesnt have the fortune and wasnt big on comics either.
>>145214290She occasionally dabbles outside of the scribbles comics and does other works like Fangs. She's not bad as an artist, I just think she recognizes that people will give her money for doing this fairly low effort webcomic that basically serves as a diary for her. She can farm cash out of this for a while and occasionally do other works she wants to do that require more effort.
>>145196245S.Andersen or S.Sakurai
>>145221174Agreed
>>145212542She did the one with the chubby space captain chick right
>>145220275cute
>>145196425Rumiko and her trash is extremely overrated by her simps
>>145224465Yeah welcome to the only fucking reason she made it with that garbage "art".
>>145210185>>145196245Akane is terrible but the female lead from Maison Ikoku is worse in some ways, she straight comes off as manipulative, and even the small stories like Ghospel punch had the infamous ''girls slaps/beats/hates boys (usually all) but she is always in the right cause woe is me'' trope, because the issue with Takahashi is that, not so much the fact that she never got married (she literally saw herself as a ''need no man'' type) or even the rumors of she being a closeted lesbian, but really is a case that she got too favoritism for being female even when she kept being resentful that editors told her that she was indulging herself too much in her tropes and cliches instead of caring about storytelling, and she always saw that in a ''Ugh, men's world!'' tunnel vision.I used to joke about how she was the proto Stephanie Meyer (twilight), but really she embodies the worst of post divorce George Lucas, surrounding herself with too many yes man and not having people telling her straight into the eye ''Dont do this/This is stupid/This is a bad idea''heh, maybe she is just autistic.As for western equivalents, sadly the few i can think off later become libshits and people like Gale Simmone really become overrated because of the misguided ''women in refrigerators'' thing she and her simps tried to hard to input as a zeitgeist to be obeyed/
>>145196425What is this phenomena here?
>>145204515The question was which of her characters were self-inserts, not which one of them gets shat on.
>>145226814i mean they get shat on constantly in the mangas. if they are self inserts she must hate herself. also shinobu is irrelevant after the first few chapters of urusei yatsura
>>145214290>>145220275>>145221174>Andersen initially published the webcomic on Tumblr,uhoh, not a good sign. is she actually "based"? i always thought the comic about black IQ was an edit.

>>145224111Yes
>>145224537She has simps? She's never exactly been a looker, OP's avatar is pretty accurate to how she looked in the 70s and she didn't exactly age gracefully.
