What manga has the BEST artwork?

Since I'm a huge fan of shoujo, I will here praise my shrined artists:

Tanemura Arina: Her art work is amazing... yes the eyes are bigger than Sailor Moon's but the details she put into her work is just absolutely astounding. The designs, the screen tones, the expressions, the background; magnifique!

Fruits Basket: The style of drawing doesn't stand out, but the usage of screen tones and the framing of each page really brings out the story to the max... applaud for thy master!!

Death Note just blows me away... great art work and usage of screen tones.

Naruto and One Piece! I love all the characters and the different styles they're drawn in!! Gantz is also definitely one of my favorites! I have a Gantz wallpaper up right now! Ichigo 100% is just plain beautiful and sexy, and to tell the truth, I'm still a huge fan of Takeuchi Naoko-sama's work!!

I really love the Fruits Basket style. I'm not sure why. Natsuki Takaya has wonderful art.
I also really like the Death Note style...it's a lot more realistic looking that most manga out there. <3 L~

Ichigo 100% and bleach are the two best in terms of quality illustrations

Hard to say, really. Since there are so many different styles. Everything by Clamp is purely gorgeous.

Gantz is awesome because some of the background art work and the shading is done on the computer, so it gives it this special and odd feel and look, which fits perfectly with it's story.

Angel Sanctuary, towards the end of the series, or GodChild. Those are hot. Razz

I like Ken Akamatu's style too because it's simple and clear and the chibi facial expressions crack me up Very Happy

Beserk is still my favorite, it has its own unique style to it.

There isn't really "the best" to pick... but here are some good ones:

Rurouni Kenshin and Busou Renkin has a pretty detailed drawing. I like Nobuhiro Watsuki's Artwork.

Same goes for the artworks from Death Note, very nice expressions and details done by Takeshi Obata.

Oh.. and for those who vote for Ichigo 100%.. I dunno what to say.. no offense.. but there are MUCH more mangas that has better drawings all around. Read more.
