Forgot about it. I agree, Lynn Okamoto's art is just plain horrible.

Onani Master Kurosawa so far. Didn't like the sketched out style. Though the story more than made up for it.

NODAME CANTABILE.
don't get me wrong, the story is wonderful and fantastamazing and it's actually one of my favorite series because of that. the only problem is that i really can't stand the manga illustrations. idk maybe it's because i've been reading mangas with cool art like prince of tennis or torikagoshou. the art in nodame cantabile is just really so horribad idek.

I'll say D.Gray-man has some wtf fights sometimes. Can't tell what the hell is going on because it's drawn so awkward.


I thought the D.Gray-Man art was amazing. A lot of other manga's artwork for the fight scenes are far far far (etc.) worse...
Mirai Nikki has an amazing plot, but at the beginning, the art's pretty bad. And when some of the characters turn psycho, it's a bit painful to watch.
Shaman King's artwork wasn't great at first, but it developed to be pretty amazing... and some of the detail is just freakin' amazing.
The art for some shoujo series like Black Bird and Kimi Ni Todoke aren't great... but I wouldn't call them awful.

Hunter x Hunter is one of my fav anime but I can't stand the art of the manga starting from the chimera ant arc lol. I feel like the author is trolling us with stick figures.

Hopefully the 2011 version of the anime will continue the story where the Greed island arc left.

This made me laugh so hard. While bleach isn't horribly drawn, it is extremely simplistic compared to the other shonen. There is always so much going on in One Piece panals, where in Bleach they just zoom into whomever is talking and get a close up on their lips.

ok i know i was just making fun of it yesterday but i seriously cant get ove rhow fucking lazy this picture was, i mean this isnt even a sketch, this is what happens when you stab a ink brush at the paper then try to do a half drawing of a snake around it, then just leave the rest blank

if you break it up this image literally takes up 1/7 of the panel......i mean come on

although Bleach is a favorite for me, one of the first ones I've seen, yet I have no problem criticizing it, thus I agree with some of the points you've mentioned, and I can understand people hating it, but I keep wondering, how did you (and other people) reach the latest chapters ? I mean if you hate it that much and you don't enjoy it why are you wasting your time on it ? maybe you could make this clear to me, or maybe you got other reasons..
i didnt, i got all those picture by merely looking on the bleach wiki, most of what i posted apparently were pretty important parts of the story which makes me wonder just how they could have drawn it so horribly

A toss between One Piece and early Naruto. I swear Naruto's author never ever heard of shading.

I'm fine with Bleach though; backgrounds are usually just optional decoration for me anyway, plus it's easy on the eyes to read.

People tend to say that Gintama is poorly drawn, but I think it's got a particular charm to it. I mean, messy drawings, small panels, no screentones... it's kind of nice. And the quality of the plot and jokes definitely makes up for anything bad.

I'd say Bleach. I mean, it's mostly just action, no backgrounds, nothing, you have to really be into the story to see what's going on sometimes. I kind of gave up on it.

Yes, really.

Well, I might have used a different definition on worst drawn. There are plenty of yaoi manga I've read that look like they were drawn by a monkey with a pen, so in that sense One Piece isn't the 'worst'. But by god it's one of the ugliest manga I know.

Yeah, I think One Piece is really ugly, too. But not poorly drawn. Oda certainly tries... but his style just doesn't appeal to me, either.

Really? ...I haven't read manga yet, but I was looking through some volumes to compare scenes from anime and manga, and I must say that I liked it. I like character design, never thought that OP manga is ugly. Ah, well, maybe before I get into anime :P

I would have to say Bleach is one of the worst drawn series I have read. Most of the scenes in the manga are so simplistic, and the battles are basically just shots of Ichigo or whoever drawn using a page-absorbing Getsuga Tenshou or whatever.

I'd also say that the manga of Trinity Blood is extremely hard to follow. It's a case of having way to much on the page at a time.

And whoever is saying One Piece's art is bad must be crazy. I can see not liking the style or Oda's drawing, but it is far from being badly drawn.

How silly for people to assume ugly = bad.

This thread is entitled "Whats the worst drawn manga you've read". It's got nothing to do with effort. I don't care how hard Oda tries; his artwork still makes me want to vomit.

Bleach... the most painstakingly planned out story ever created. That was sarcasm btw.

The art for Bleach was actually pretty good tho, but then you would quickly realize that all the characters begin to look the same.

Furthermore, the panels and angles used by the mangaka became overused as well. Especially the "focus only on the serious eyes" panels. Wow. That was really overused.

"worst drawn" manga tho? Not really. It's all a matter of taste tho ain't it? Personally, I hate the type of style used in Red River and 7Seeds. Whilst they have great stories that I enjoy wholeheartedly, the art really put me off.

I would say Houkago Play, though it's a 4-koma so the art probably isn't the top priority for that one. There's also alot of one volume stuff I've read where the art made me seriously consider dropping it.

I see, for me I haven't really read the manga, I've just seen the anime, I remember once reading a couple of chapters when a filler came up, didn't really had a problem with it, maybe cz I didn't have any experience with manga (started reading manga actually at the beginning of this year) but I re-read the last arc after it finished airing, and I didn't have a problem too, I guess it's just me.

Speaking about only black or white pages, I remember reading a chapter of Hunter x Hunter, last chapter of an arc, about half of it were just black pages, about 8, just black pages and there were bubbles of 2 people speaking, I enjoyed it a lot, but I've seen alot of people hating it.
I don't really care about those kind of pages or panels as long as the content is good, maybe you guys could consider doing this too. (btw I don't mean Bleach here, I'm just saying to enjoy chapters that has good contents, no matter how simple the drawings may seem)

He did had a time where he had a problem in his hand, but I believe he's fine now. And even before hurting his hand, the drawing was still awful.

even though it's one of my favorite anime, i will definitely admit that the manga illustration reached totally unknown levels of godawful (or maybe i'm just so used to the very detailed and generally better styles of a lot of shoujo manga) but whatever i mean look at these wow i just really had to stop reading the manga all together

also nodame cantabile (but its comedy compensates for it anyway)
