[ButterflyEmpress]

Tokyo Mew Mew since it was my 1st manga and I was big into magical girls

[justincarbunkle]

Manga specifically, Bleach and Bobobo-bo-bobo were the series that stuck the most with me back when I read Shonen Jump as a kid. As an adult, I really enjoyed Goodnight Punpun and anything by Junji Ito.

Art wise, maybe Pokemon Adventures, specifically the Mato illustrated ones. Those have alot of cute cartoony expressions that stuck with me.

Id have to say Project A-ko, and Ranma1/2

[kitschensyngk]

Not made in Japan, but Fred Gallagher's Megatokyo taught me a great deal about making comics, from panel layouts to not having to end every page with a punchline.

More of my influences...

[ShidoDraws]

For me, I'd say the mangas Happy Sugar Life, Dusk Maiden, Shakugan No Shana and Pandora Hearts.

There's three manhwa that also inspired me, Nano List, Oh Holy and Lookism.

When I need references for panels I use those comics. Haha!

• Sailor Moon

here are more influences/inspirations:

[yutakashi]

Bleach was the only manga i read.

[thepenmonster]

None led me to make comics, but many have been influential. Off the top of my head;

• The same one as everyone else. Dragonball.

• The one that taught me to no longer be satisfied with power levels and jiggly tits because the medium can tell any story. Barefoot Gen.

• The one that taught me a comic can be, and should be, anything and creators straight jacket themselves too much following conventions of genre. What's Michael?

• The one that reaffirmed that I like more "grounded" comics. Boku to Issho.

Of the four of them, Boku to Issho aged the worst and if you don't read it it's probably for the best.

Hmmm:
Orange: Mirai
My Love Story

I've watched several others, but these are my favorites in the sentimental or funny category, which is mostly what I write. I've also watched Astro Boy, One Week Friends, Prince of Tennis, Zoids: New Century Zero, Megaman (several different series) the list goes on.

[feuersichel]

I know it's about which manga did the inspiration.... but it counts, the story of these guys :3

[omarkaj]

Good question. In the case of "Hiroshi and the Neon Ninjas," I'd say "Rurouni Kenshin" primarily, but also Pokemon and Digimon as I was watching those as a teenager.
