I think the Battle Royale art style kinda fits it, but I seem alone in that opinion.

HunterxHunter was pretty bad for awhile.

Oh, and one yaoi manga I read just 'caus I'd never read one before- I think it was called Koshitsomething Project?- had awful art.

Probably Angel Densetsu but the artwork was somewhat justified since it was really dated. Model kinda hurt my eyes because Michael looked like an woman. I remember googling to make sure he was an guy, Haha. But that manhwa just wasn't my cup of tea.

hunter x hunter, not all the time though. right now the art is fantastic but before it looked like a 4 year old had drawn it, in this case if someone said i would like to see you better, i could go ahead and do better xD Still a great manga though, it's easy to overlook something like that :)

Mirai Nikki has pretty bad art in my opinion. It's not the worst I've seen, but there are some pretty baffling anatomical mistakes. Example:

The art looks pretty crude too, and not in a good way like Onani Master Kurosawa.
The first arc (Onikakushi-hen) of Higurashi manga had bad art too, but the artist eventually got better and his art in later arcs looks decent.

Neon Genesis Evangelion: Angelic Days and Elfen Lied look pretty terrible too.

While it's only the first volume (I think it gets better later), Yu-Gi-Oh looked terrible in the beginning. Not the worst, but it was bad.

If you hated that you should see the early chapters of Junjou Romantica, Sekaiichi Hatsukoi is a masterpiece in comparison!

I don't think I could name a single manga as being the worst art I've seen, but if we want to talk laziness those sketchy chapters of Gintama that were clearly unfinished were far more lazy than any of the examples given for Bleach earlier.

I think the enviornments could definitely use some more detail, but Kubo's drawing skills have gotten much better over the years.
you......your kidding right, the arts progressively gotten worse and worse, the guy's drawings are so lazy and horrible he doesnt even put in fucking backgrounds

I kind of like his simple art. Sometimes I feel like other artists get way too complicated and it takes away from the story. I think people hate Bleach's art but it isn't bad it's just simple.

Junjou Romantica in the first 10 volumes, still won't say its "good" but its a lot better. (what the hell was up with those HUGE hands??)

Most shoujo mangas I have read have pretty bad art and it gets even worse when they have so much screentone on top of it.

obviously its intentional. Tite kubo is not ignorant of his background problem, he was inspired by the manga GeGeGe no Kitaro as a child. In an interview he states that he loved the backgrounds of said manga and laments that he does not have the skill to draw backgrounds, and they turn out very simple.
while i believe his backgrounds leave much to desire for i also believe that his character designs( though similar) are amazing. If you just look at the way ichigo's character design has evolved over the years you will know what i mean .
one piece i believe has very nice backgrounds with floating islands and what not, but it also has some of most ugliest character designs I've seen. Again this does not mean the author lacks the ability, but every author has to have a style that he can remain consistent with panel to panel and that style is convenient to him just as simple backgrounds are convenient to Tite kubo.
just my two cents on the matter, feel free to disagree.

I had to stop reading Natsume Yuujinchou because I couldn't get over the art. Lack of background and details was really bad for me, confusing at times even.

I wouldn't say the guy who drew Onani master and chikan otoko have bad art, or that it's lazy whatsoever, it's just different.

look at that quality


Hah! That's hilarious.

Seriously, Bleach is just so lazy-looking. At least the early parts of the manga (the only chapters I really enjoy) had some degree of detail in their backgrounds. Also the story was better. And the characters. And Bleach should have ended after the SS Arc.
While simple backgrounds may make something easier to read, if they are overused then it looks half-assed. And all that black ink drives me nuts. I never feel any colour with the Bleach manga now unlike in the earlier volumes (if you can understand the feeling of being able to imagine the colour on a colourless manga page). Now all I see is black and white and dull...

If I had to say another one...it would probably be this Star Trek "manga" I read once. It was ugly as sin, because it wasn't even in a manga style, it should have been classed as a comic. It's a shame, because a proper manga adaptation would've been cool.

Also some of the Higurashi Arcs have some unappealing art styles. I'm looking at you Demon Exposing Arc.

Early Naruto had great backgrounds but the characters weren't always drawn well. Kishimoto admitted himself that he struggles to draw pretty girls, and it REALLY shows.

Punpun's character design later on in Oyasumi Punpun is just so lazy that it's hilarious. Pretty sure it was intentional though.
