Reviews: Probably not the strongest art on the list. But its really rare for me to like a manwha's art, and this has a great 3d-sketch look to it (Try it!)

Reviews: My favorite manga. An esoteric story of a swordsaint searching for enlightenment. The art transforms into traditional-looking brush strokes over time

Reviews: I've only skimmed this; it's in the To-Read pile, but I like the style. I normally don't like so much white space, but this is doing a lot with it.

Reviews: Interesting setting, more humor than I was expecting. Mercenary takes odd jobs in a post-apocalyptic desert. Has realism without being overly dark.

Reviews: It's Bleach. This is only in the list to remind me what heavy brushstrokes/inking look like.

Reviews: I hate harems. What this does well, however, is a "Summer By The Sea" vibe. Great beach town with some urban and rural Japanese scenery.

Reviews: The art doesn't really do much until the last arc, but once it's there, it excels. Gives a great sense of change.

Reviews: Pretty terrible in more ways than one, but I'd be lying if I said the art wasn't exceptional. It's got that hard-to-describe fluidity that I like.

Reviews: Weird short stories. Art is as odd as the people it follows. I loved this the whole way through. Occasionally very sad.

Reviews: Yusuke Murata does some great illustrations here. Particularly whenever he spends a whole chapter depicting only seconds. The color pages awe me.

Reviews: The original webcomic. I can't decide whether the artist is skilled or not. It's oddly masterful in its minimalism and what it expresses.
