my friend once asked me why i like reading mangas so much.. and i told her one of the reasons why was because there are a lot of well drawn/ illustrated mangas out there.. can you guys give example with pictures??
i'll give some soon.. just have to narrow down my list..

It's is really hard to decide because there are so many mangas. Here are some of the best drawn mangas that I can think of:
-Shugo Chara
-Beauty Pop
-La Corda d'oro
-Case Closed
-Skip Beat
-Pichi Pichi Pitch
-Kirarin Revolution
There are more, but that's all I can think of right now.

Air Gear, Tenjou Tenge, Zetman, FLCL and Q-Ko-Chan
Oh!Great is my favorite mangaka and he's work is usually very clean; same with Zetman by Katsura Masakazu.
FLCL + Q-Ko-Chan -> Ueda Hajime has the greatest style in my opinion.

thanks for listing.. i checked out ueda hajime.
i like it.. its so unique..
have you seen johnny the homicidal maniac?
the story is EXTREME and very disturbing at times but i like the way he draws and his detail ..
also even if its very goth i just like his point of view..

Nana is well drawn too.

yup.. i worked in an art store/graphic novel shop that sold alot of anime/manga stuff.. Mhmm...... there was a really extreme manga but i can't remember but Tenjou Tenge is always awesome = )

Nana is really good =)

Kazuya Minekura's Saiyuki, Saiyuki Reload and Saiyuki Gaiden. She also does a most excellent job with Wild Adapter and Bus Gamer.

Well drawn? You mean the art right?
-Berserk
-Tenjho Tenge
-Air Gear
-Bleach (This was only good in the begining when the mangaka drew BACKGROUNDS when he stopped it started to suck)
-Just look at the other posters, they got some good ones I'm just to lazy too look through my computer or type any longer.

Venus Capriccio-Nishikita Mai's works are gorgeous

Vampire Knight-Matsuri Hino(anything from her is good)


Bleach-even if the first few chapters are kinda old looking..i still like it


Hatsukoi ni Oboreta-i'm really digging this type of manga art


La Corda d'oro-Kure Yuki,her drawings keep getting better each chapter

Depends what you mean by well drawn.

Manga has different styles, different styles are drawn differently, I don't see how you can grade them.
Obviously, you can have favorites though.

I'm a big fan of CLAMP's style of art, even though I don't particularly like their story lines.


The art in the FLCL manga is amazing, very sketchy and rough, very unique in the manga world.


I really like the art in the Speed Grapher manga also, it's like Obata's, but more stylish.


Also a fan of Tite Kubo, I like how he always seems to avoid drawing backgrounds.


I like the style of Azumanga too, very simplistic, but gets the point across.

i love venus capriccio..
story and art.. can't wait for it to update..
thank you for posting..

D.Grayman : so much going on in every page


The Ravages of Time : attention to detail, amazing


Hatsukoi Limited : All Mizuki Kawashita's girls look great


Kaichou wa Maid-sama : shoujo manga that doesn't look too shoujo


Kimi no Iru Machi : beautiful drawings

Katekyo Hitman Reborn.
Even though it is a weekly manga, the details of the art is great.
In the beginning, the art was....
But later on, you could see the improvement, and now the art is amazing.
