obviously art is subjective, but these bls have art styles that i think are really pretty! i'm putting one work per mangaka, but obviously if you like their style, you should also check out their other works!

for mangakas where i like their style as a whole, i'll describe their general style and recommend other works, for individual mangas i like the art for, i'll just comment on the manga :)
