Hiroya Oku



Hiroya Oku is a Japanese manga artist who is the creator of Gantz, Gigant, Hen and Inuyashiki, the first two of which have been serialized in Weekly Young Jump.

Why He Rocks

 * 1) He Created many wonderful mangas such as Hen, Gantz, Inuyashiki, and Gigant.
 * 2) His artworks are very complex and detailed.
 * 3) He's much more of a Visual Storyteller then a actual one as he likes to explore characters emotion by environment then actually explaining it.
 * 4) During his later titles he likes to show how bleak, cruel, greedy the World can be much like Lynn Okamoto.
 * 5) He paid respect to the death of the creator of Berserk Kentaro Miura showing he is a nice person.
 * 6) Oku's Manga Gantz became so popular that it spawned many spin-off such as Gantz:G and Gantz:E which are also.
 * 7) His first manga Hen is a pretty well-done Coming-of-Age manga.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) He Created a mediocre manga called Zero-One due to how the CGI looked abysmal though not as bad as the 2016 Berserk Anime.
 * 2) Speaking of BQ#1 Gantz in the first half started out pretty weak as well but thankfully started to improve in later chapters.
 * 3) Given the fact that the mangas he created were published in Japan, which, as you probably already know, has different views on what's acceptable and what's not acceptable for a young audience, he appears to sexualize some of his female characters with many adult features, especially with the breast which could sometimes put off most readers.
