Legend of the Strongest Man Kurosawa hands down
>>771823
FKMT has a terrible habit of making shit overstay their welcome. I'm quite literally skimming through scans of Kazuya Hen, because 90% of the pages are just about theoretical thoughts and the occasional three-way repetition of a concept. They're slow as molasses compared to the earlier chapters. Also, I absolutely dislike the direction he's driven all of his series, especially New Kurosawa.
>Akagi
Absolutely astounding, made me want to get into Mah Jong just to understand how crazy his plays were, but then he just kept prolonging the Washizu Mahjong arc so much that now Washizu's spin off is more interesting than whatever they were doing at the table, also the hell hallucination arc was absolutely retarded.
>Kaiji
Everything up to the Three Asian Stairway gamble was fantastic, then halfway through FKMT made wrong decisions upon wrong decisions, the worst of which was making the Japanese faggot go back on his word when they basically had victory already achieved, it doesn't even relate to all the stuff they've been through and it just set up the heroic sacrifice of Chang and Mario turning their lives into chips for Kaiji to use against Kazuya, also he ruined Kazuya's character by not giving him either the absurd luck of his father and removing the charisma he possessed. Could've at least made something cool with the fact that Kazuya now accepts that those three pieces of shit have experienced friendship in a way he never could.
>Kurosawa
One of the only mangas that made me cry bitterly, especially at the mannequin being smashed, has a great message about respecting those that are at the bottom of the food chain when they can be as honorable if not even more than the top dogs. Then he went and revived Kurosawa just to make him go into Three Stooges sketches and making him forget all of his hard learnt lessons to the point that it's not even the same genre of manga anymore.
There was also a way funny Tonegawa manga that really illustrates how much bullshit Teiai Corp. pulled behind the scenes. The only one I've yet to read and have really been meaning to is Ten.
