Who do you think is the best artist?

My vote goes to the guy/gal that drew the Pastel series. Holy crap. The guy/gal is an excellent artist. I can't remember if he's a she or she's a he though.

I think its the guy who drew the samurai champloo and cowboy bepop, he captured facial expressions and fight scenes perfectly, with a twist of comic expression here and there.

Good choice.

I haven't read so much manga, so I'll go with Hirano, who draws the Hellsing manga.

kouta hirano
and ken akamatsu (favorite)
ken drew love hina, A.I. love you and negima, among other ones

Oh! Great

think he did Air gear and Tenjo Tenge. two of my favorites.

i though matsuri hino's art was great
fell in love with her art when i read MeruPuri

Akira Toriyama is an awesome manga-ka, but I also like Rumiko Takahashi's work as well.

I love CLAMP's art style, even if xxxHolic freaks me out sometimes :D

Hellsing is my other favorite.

Ken Akamatsu and just because i want to,Marko Djurdjevic(but he is a comic artist,that nowadays i find the art very superior but thats just me)
http://www.myspace.com/sixmorevodka for some works of Marko

I really love the artist behind the Hellsing and Berzerk mangas
