Ai Yori Aoshi

I like the story but sometime the face and the body of the character really make me want to stop reading the manga

and I don't think Fumizuki's art getting better at Umi ni Misaki

look at that quality


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.


Yeah, that's certainly true.

Pages like this always makes me lol:

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.

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


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

Actually, the napkin period (I was shocked by how bad it was (I only recently read it)) has long ended. Now, whether the style has improved since the first chapters - I'd say yes, but that might be just my brain adjusting. Also, Yu Yu Hakusho was a level above HxH in terms of art (overall), and Level E looks pretty damn good. So he has actually deteriorated after improving. I'm assuming he didn't simply forget how to draw, so I wouldn't be surprised if it was due to whatever ails the man.

if it's based on those scenes, then that's silly. For Bleach, Hueco Mundo setting/environment is that of non-existence, which has been designed to look plain/empty. What you have shown is a perfect example of that.

you and i both know they made huecco mundo nothingness just so he can use it as an excuse to half ass the work even more

Wait, is this supposed to be the real manga? I haven't read it yet, but damn, I thought that was a parody or something...
Though I'll also agree on Bleach. The further I got in that manga, the less I understood in some battlescenes and the more ugly it got. His blacks are just blobs. Don't give characters black outfits if the only way you can draw it is by making some kind of random blob on your page!

Onani Master Kurosawa I really liked though. The sketchy style is not ugly, you just have to like it. Personally I think the artist put in quite some work in that. Anyway, I liked that style.

And I don't remember who said he liked to see art progress during a manga, but check out Slam Dunk. It went from quite bad to flat-out amazing!

Yes it is, the funny thing is that this part is the last episode of HxH old version (where a big Cliffhanger is). The mangaka was sick (or lazy, or some other reasons) so he took alot of hiatuses (there's a new one now) while drawing that arc. the last chapter of Greed Island and the first 10 or so chapters from Chimera ant are like this, it gets better after it, not to mention that he'd redrawn those for the Volumes.

look at that quality
I can't stop laughing at this.

Normally i try not to let the art intervene with the story. If it does, it prevents me from reading it in the first place, but there have been rare cases where i read it anyway and dropped because of the art.

I've read a lot of Yaoi/Shounen-Ai with creepy art, but none made me cringe more than that of My Boyfriend is a Vampire. It's a manwha, but I recently found this manga in my very own library and remembered why i dropped it.
That art....*shivers* It's not the worst ever, but it was too stiff and creepy looking that even i couldn't take it. You look at the cover and it's decent, but once inside...yikes.
Junjou Romantica had some pretty horrid hand art in its first few volumes.
http://i1088.photobucket.com/albums/i324/yourfapsendhere/staysassyyoubadanatomystaysassy.png

Dem hands. So bad someone made a tumbler about it:
http://handsofjunjouromantica.tumblr.com/
I know hands are tough to draw, but i'm probably a good number of years younger than the mangaka and i somewhat mastered drawing them long ago.

Nana's art disgusts me a bit. It's mainly the eyes, but, although i liked the first and second volumes, the art threw any deeper interest out the window.
Most shoujo art disgusts me if it's too overly cute. hence i don't usually read much of the genre.

The worst i can remember is from some manga who's name escapes me about some girl and her childhood boyfriend jumping off a building, being separated, and reuniting after so and so years when she has another boyfriend whom she sleeps with. Ugh, that art. UGH. I dropped it just because of the art.
