You've left out Biorg Trinity, his best series.

Air gear was phenomenal, I don't care what anyone else says. Really looking forward to how this new series will turn out.

No one reads Oh! Great Manga for story.

It is sad to see him downgraded to "Bakemonogatari manga artist" when the guy has created so many popular stories of his own. Imagine introducing Akira Toriyama as the Dragon Quest artist.

Didn't even know he drew the Bakemonogatari manga tbh, I only relate him to Tenjou Tenge and Air Gear. Looking forward to the new work!

Tenjho Tenge and Air Gear are still what he's known for. It's just not implied here since of what he most recently worked on.

That'd be messed up, unless Dragon Quest was the best thing he'd ever worked on and the only one relevant to current fans.

Yep, and the article literally points that out, so it's really puzzling why the headline is about their work on the Bakemonogatari manga adaptation.
Quote:
Oh! great is known for creating the series Air Gear, Junk Story - Tetsukuzu Monogatari, and Tenjho Tenge, which all inspired anime. He has also worked on the story and art for numerous manga such as Burn Up!, Five, Himiko-Den, Majin -Devil-, Naked Star, and Silky Whip. Additionally, he worked on end card illustrations for the anime series Arakawa under the Bridge × Bridge and Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches, and most recently drew the character designs for the Night Head 2041 anime.
To give another example, imagine if Tite Kubo of Bleach fame was introduced as "Sakura Wars (2019) video game artist".

BTW, interestingly on Twitter and Bluesky, ANN mentions Tenjho Tenge, so why the heck is it not in the headline on ANN itself?

Between Bleach’s atrocious downturn & that Sakura Wars game apparently leading to
The series being put on ice.

Hell of a conundrum.

This headline is bizarre and surreal.

Um, Why use the manga he only did the art for in the headline?


When he's a story writer and mangaka in at least 2 major projects of his own.

Looking forward to Kaijin Fugeki. Will the first chapter be available in a manga magazine you can get at a Barnes & Noble?

I'm happy to hear about Oh! Great working on a new series. I'm hyped for it and hope it isn't limited in terms of his usual vision... but the title of the article is highly disrespectful. Why would you use a series that isn't even his? You literally state in the article:

You could have used Air Gear or Tenjho Tenge, but you use someone elses series. Bakemonogatari should be at the bottom of the article after his own works.
