Tateno Makoto
+ Hino Matsuri, Hirotaka Kisaragi, Mamiya Oki, Kaori Yiuki

I like Arina Tanemura and Hino Matsuri (kaname from vampire knight is hott!)
But my personal fave is Ai Yazawa, mangaka of NANA and Paradise Kiss. They are both soooooo addictive!

Speaking of favorite Mangakas. Which Mangakas would you want to come to the anime expo or any anime convention?:)

Masamune Shirow, that would be his first public appearance or Takeshi Obata he always sounded like a nice guy and as mentored a lot of big shots.

my faves are watase-sensei,clamp,and many others

Like someone even needs to ask me! Masashi Kishimoto all the way! But someday my favorite will be myself assumng I don't die in a car crash....I hope that doesn't happen! I worked so hard thinking up a plot for everything....(Warning: If you like ihatedonut's youtube videos do NOT read the next part) It took me so long to decide that Kaze is going to reallly be a cross-dressing boy, Mia and (Insert name here...sorry i forgot it and I'm too lazy to go get my sketchobook) are cousins and that Ten is going to leave for a while then come back looking better. Sheesh I better not die!

my most recent fav manga-ka would be Yasuda Suzuhito, the creator of:
Yozakura Shijuusou aka Yozakura Quartet
but of all time, well I don't have one! i love every manga that i read, so all the manga-kas are great :)

So many... Rumiko Takahashi and Hisaya Nakajo.
