Manga

Yes and I agree that Tezuka should be number one, which is why I said Urasawa should be number two. Tezuka practically introduced manga to the mainstream and its often said that he is the origin of all manga, just like The Beatles are the origin of all rock music. I also agree with Toriyama, as his art style is very unique and he also has Dr. Slump under his belt. However, I know you'll hate me but I don't agree with Oda being so high. Just because he works hard and his manga sells a lot doesn't make him revolutionary. I don't believe he has really inspired any change in the manga industry nor has his manga introduced anything new. As for Doraemon and Sazae-san, they are two of the longest running manga series' ever and have inspired generations, so its understandable they would rank high.

1. Osamu Tezuka
2. Naoki Urasawa
3. Takehiko Inoue
4. Akira Toriyama
5. Fujiko F. Fujio

Make what you will of the rest.

just the fact his work is now the best selling series of all time. with every volume new records are broken, the fact that its what dragonball was in its prime. and the fact its stupidly popular in Japan. OP is advertising tons of stuff at the moment even a baseball team if i remember. Op took the crown away from DB. Because of that, thats why i think hes on the list despite not being as revolutionary as say Toriyama who inspired him. By the time OP finished im sure he'll be at the top of the list as the most successful

also just found out OP breaks 1st printing record again for the 4th time in a row now.
Release Amount: 3,200,000 (another record release)

Thats being successful, not revolutionary, as I already said. I'm not going to get locked in another debate about Oda with you anyway. I just personally think its really unfair that he is on there, but the list seems more of a popularity contest anyway.

I'm actually gonna post that on the forum i found this on to see what people say since as you say its revolutionary list not a successful one.

Do what you want but I am not going to argue with a bunch of biased Oda fans.

[Southe,]

who says anything about Arguing? im curious to find out a reason why hes on a list for Revolutionary artists when as you say he hasn't done anything to do it.

[Neversoft]

Wait, you agree that Oda isn't a revolutionary mangaka?

[Southe,]

Yes, he will be by the time OP finishes but currently at the moment he's not.

[Neversoft]

Why will he be by the time One Piece ends?
