Who is japan's strongest manga artist? Let's first look at the "money", from the last century to today's cartoonist tax list is as follows.
In 1980, Hiroshi Fujimoto paid the highest tax, and his masterpiece "Doraemon"
In 1981, Akira Toriyama was the highest, and at this time, "Dragon Ball" was not serialized, mainly relying on the income of "Alare". Fourth-placed Yokoyama Washito made the list with the Romance of the Three Kingdoms
In 1982, Akira Toriyama continued to dominate the list, and Rumiko Takahashi relied on "Fuxing Kid" and "A Moment together" to make the list

In total, Rumiko Takahashi made the list 18 times, Hiroshi Fujimoto 9 times, Tsuyoshi Aoyama 8 times, Yasuko Suo 6 times, and Akira Toriyama, Mitsuki Yokoyama, and Akira Akimoto 5 times
The Citizens' Privacy Act came into force in 2005 and has since ceased to disclose the amount of tax paid.
05-07 is missing, and since 2008, it can only rely on comic sales to infer revenue
Note: The ranking of manga sales does not mean the level of revenue ranking, just like Takahashi and Xi's income is definitely not mostly by selling < Game King > manga.
In 2008, Eiichiro Oda's "One Piece" reached the top
2009, ibid
10 years, ibid
11 years, business as usual
In 12 years, as usual, Kishimoto's second place was surpassed by Tadatoshi Fujimaki's "Kuroko's Basketball"

In 17 years, as usual, the Giants returned to second
In 18 years, as usual, "My Hero Academia" came in second
In 19 years, "One Piece" finally slipped to the second place, and "Ghost Blade" reached the top
In 2020, Ghost Annihilation reached the top, and Oda exclaimed in One Piece's 1,000-word message, "Ghost Annihilation is really powerful." ”
Judging from the comprehensive elements such as our ability to divide the lens, character shaping, script writing and painting skills, this is not like the score of the college entrance examination, and the score of each subject is calculated and the total score is added.
This question is a bit like, from the comprehensive point of view of martial arts, looks, character, etc., which is more powerful, Guo Jing or Yang Guo?
To say that the appearance, of course, Yang Guo is better than Guo Jing, character, Guo Jing's generation of heroes, should be better than Yang Guo, but if you want to look at it comprehensively, how to superimpose?
If you must evaluate comprehensively, then you need to score each indicator and then sum it according to a certain weight.
This one is more complicated. For example, how to score?
Suppose that Naruto is the standard and gives Naruto's plot a score of 10.
If one Piece's plot is better than Naruto's, how many points should one piece be given? 11 points? 20 points? 50 points?
And then how to add weights?
Plot accounts for 10% of the total score? Or is the plot accounting for 50% of the total score?
These are very casual and operable things.
Different people with different standards can completely manipulate different results, unless it is said that a comic is better than another in all aspects, which is not feasible at this time.
Therefore, how to synthesize is very difficult.
However, I think it is still comparable.
Although it is difficult to score each indicator and the definition of weights is difficult, there is one indicator for the total score - that is, sales.
The average volume sales volume can be used as a very good reference for comprehensive strength.
Cartoonists' comics are aimed at readers, and the so-called storyboards, plots, and characters are all designed to attract readers.
When the reader reads the comic, he will subconsciously rate all aspects of the comic and weight it as the basis for the final purchase.
Therefore, the better-selling comics in the volume can be considered to be better in general.
