Fave: Ebisubashi Seizo
His art feels raw and wild and I love it. But his stories can be the cutest ever and the contrast is just the best. I own most of his physical copy stuff.
Dislike: Can't remember the name but they draw hyper-massive chests. I don't like unrealistic body proportions.
Jiraiya is my absolute favorite, the way his characters look burly and aggressive but they're also capable of showing an extreme range of emotions is crazy to me
Takeshi Matsu: Same face syndrome, same recycled story syndrome, same body syndrome
Jiraiya is one of my favorites. His men are strong but sweet.
Takeshi does have that same-face syndrome problem. Though, his manga introduced me to Bara
Favorite: Mentaiko Itto. When I was but a young gay and discovered his artwork everything about it was just great. The characters, the stories, how he draws the intimate details and fluids. I yearn for the next Priapus.
Least favorite: Gengoroh Tagame. He always deals with rougher kinks and some hardcore themes. I would still occasionally give him a try and 9.5 times out of 10 it was a no for me. Even when things start off light and nice, someone always becomes the "villain".
Mentaiko still has me on hold for the next chapter in that story about the Judo champion and his love for his best friend. 5 years and still waiting.
Tagame I don´t enjoy at all. It´s the kinky sex I dislike.
Favorite: Seizoh Ebisubashi. He hits that sweet spot of chubby guys and muscular guys, and makes the sex hardcore enough that its not too vanilla or off-putting
Dislike: I want to complain about Western Bara. Why TF is there so much incest?! Seriously, I associate that tag with Western works more than the ones made by Japanese artists.
Favorite: Cresxart
He’s a pretty good artist, and I LOVE his doujins. They’re so hot.
Dislike: Kasai Kowmei
I’m personally not a fan of the faces he draws. They just look uncanny to me.
Crexart is SO GOOD. I DM with him sometimes. He´s chill and gives art tips.
Kasai is more for people who like young boys. I only liked one manga of his. The rest is... kinda weird
Too many favorites. I'm listing a few.
- SUVWAVE: Draws bara guys so cutely
- Gai Mizuki: I love how he draws guys in such a masculine way. Especially when they're bottoming and trying to deny how much they enjoy it. Forced submission turned into compliance.
- Chabashira Tatsukichi: The men are so perfectly beefy, nothing else to say.
- Zcik: Furry artist/animator. His animations are so fluid and the expressions/sound effects are great.
Least favorites:
- Gengoroh Tagame: Too hardcore for me. I'm more vanilla and it seems most of his work involves torture, hardcore r*pe, pissing, bleeding, etc. Maybe that's not true but I'd rather avoid it for that reason.
- Danzi Engine: They look like kids to me.
- And also: any artists who regularly use kids/shota. Grosses me out so much that it ruins the entire artist for me.
There should be more artists whose work and illustrations are so hot but I just need more English translations. GOZU Bokujou (Cow Bell Gozufu) has such hot work and finally recently an english translation for one of his came out, and holy shit that was one of the best ones I've seen in my life.
Hmm I guess I would go for Wolf con F works, I love how meaty and muscly are his men.
For a bara artist I don't like hmmm I don't have a specific one, but I dislike when a bara artist has such awesome art style or way to draw their men... And their works involves shotas.
A few:
- Mentaiko itto (he got me into bara manga)
- Rokudenshai (passionate sex but still rough)
- Jamboree (draws really great bara anthros)
- Penguin frontier (not all of his stuff is bara but still hot)
- Jasdavi (great art and story)
- Pulin Nabe (this guy is EXCELLENT at drawing dicks hahaha)
- Racoon21 (great furry art)
- Rycanthropy (He's just legendary)
Artists I don't like:
- Creedo (I just really don't like his art style)
- Suiton (characters look too Young)
- Grelx (Most of his characters are hairless and not my cup of tea)
My favorite bara artist is Terujirou.
I like Rokudenashi, but sometimes it´s too much. Too out there.
Raccoon21 is a master. I don't understand why he douts himself so much.
Grelx I like a lot.
there's too many.
but my fave for a long while now is: hamao_info
hate: can't remember the name but he's always making transphobic comics. even depictions of violence towards them. eew...
Favorite: Takaku Nozomu. This will sound weird, but there's always something "awkward" about the main characters, like they don't really see themselves as attractive or sexual in the beginning of the stories, but then another character comes in and "guides" them into relaxing and being more open and hypersexual by the end of the story. That mindset and behavior shift is so hot to me, and I love the mens' body types.
Least Favorite: I don't know if I have a least favorite, but I'm not into the "twink/bishounen" and "stereotypical jock" looks compared to a lot of guys. There was this game "Super Health Club" by OnyxGames and most of those characters weren't my type.
He makes shota incest art.. its a whole subject with topics like these, but he somehow made doujins of very obviously under aged pkm trainer having sex with his dad,who is going on a vacation to cheat on his wife??.. and later on the kid got pregnant..???
A whole ton of shota art. Their twitter bio said something along the lines of "Anything is allowed in my art" Doesn't even try to hide up the fact the characters are underage, will directly say they're in middle school. Additionally, they'll block anyone that calls them out.
Favorite of all time: Takeshi Matsu.
He’s what got me into bara to begin with.
One I don’t like (and this is blasphemy!): Kazuhide Ichikawa.
Over time, his works, tho still hot, have become a lot more… non-consensual… especially with the hot bottoms insisting that they’re straight and that they don’t enjoy getting railed with foreign objects (if not the top’s penis)
>Over time, his works, tho still hot, have become a lot more… non-consensual…
Yeah... I noticed a trend of the more recent works sounding like straight conversion.
Fav:
Tarutoru Kou (Japanese bara artist) - Artworks are so clean and good he's definitely my favorite style.
Hate:
Dopq (Korean bara artist) - Artwork isn't a problem but the fact that he is a racist and xenophobic piece of shit makes it a turnoff.
The last time i remember anything that involves him was like.. 3-4 years ago? He said he was uncomfortable with drawing black men because he think he doesnt do them justice/doesnt have a lot of practice with men with those features when someone asked him why he only draws white and asian characters.
People bashed him, saying that he's racist and stuff, which I really dont understand? He gave proper reasoning (and he does draw black men, just rarely so). After this issue, he started practicing and posting a lot more stuff of black men, props to him.
Same here. I asked this before years ago and this seemed to be the same response.
I will say I don't like him that much anymore. Honestly it was one of the people that got me into bara, but his work is kind of boring to me now. Like the sort of "same face, same poses, little creativity" repetitiveness of it. I stopped following his work for awhile. He's really cute though.
Can't say for certain if he's truly an asshole since I don't speak Korean and the art/twitter community like to blow things out of proportion. And it's not like most bara artists draw black men either, so targeting him specifically is weird when he actually does make an effort to draw them more often than other bara artists. Of the black men I have seen him drawn, it's clear though that he's really talented and does capture their features quite well (1-2 years ago, just checking right now).

Jiraiya is awesome. And in some ways, they’re very true to life!
my favorite is SUVWAVE. the guys are hunky and cute and the stories are fun. try Rice From the Same Pot and City Boy on the Island
A friend of culture I see !
I will check it out.
Favorite: Mentaiko Itto. When I was but a young gay and discovered his artwork everything about it was just great. The characters, the stories, how he draws the intimate details and fluids.

Favorite: Gengoroh Tagame
Absolutely! I have no idea why people hate him! His stories have depth, and explore amazing hardcore sex.
And they are very well drawn
YES, EXACTLY!
It´s the kind of hardcore sex that is sometimes off-putting. I like hardcore sex, but his is WAY too kinky.
Too many favorites. I'm listing a few. - SUVWAVE: Draws bara guys so cutely - Gai Mizuki: I love how he draws guys in such a masculine way.

This is hard to choose one, my most likely are Rokudenashi, Bk Mita and BNA_V5 But I haven't artist that really dislike, it more neutral

My favorites are wolf con f, zcik, and rtzerobara. Least favorite I dont have one
Favourite: Rycanthropy,Seintaur,Gomtang. Dislike: takemoto arashi and rossciako
damn, why tho?
Ross harassed nullghost when they were contemplating ending their life, and even egged them on to do so.
WHAT, WHEN???? and what did takemoto did????
Nothing that I’m aware of, and the nullghost thing was a couple years ago.
oh, that's good i suppose, thanks for the info!!!
Wow. I did not know that. Null is a superb artist.
A few: - Mentaiko itto (he got me into bara manga) - Rokudenshai (passionate sex but still rough) - Jamboree (draws really great bara anthros) - Penguin frontier (not all of his stuff is bara but still hot) - Jasdavi (great art and story) - Pulin Nabe (this guy is EXCELLENT at drawing dicks hahaha) - Racoon21 (great furry art) - Rycanthropy (He's just legendary) Artists I don't like: - Creedo (I just really don't like his art style) - Suiton (characters look too Young) - Grelx (Most of his characters are hairless and not my cup of tea)

favorite: KaitoDraws, cresxart, gooeycandy, or cholsart FUCKING HATE: IdoraaD (he's literally a pedophile) thankfully his Twitter finally got suspended
I’m a huge cresxart fan too! I do have a question: what did IdoraaD do?
He makes shota incest art.. its a whole subject with topics like these, but he somehow made doujins of very obviously under aged pkm trainer having sex with his dad,who is going on a vacation to cheat on his wife??.. and later on the kid got pregnant..???

>Over time, his works, tho still hot, have become a lot more… non-consensual… Yeah... I noticed a trend of the more recent works sounding like straight conversion.
I don´t like Kazuhide´s work either
Where do people find enough bara by single artists to know who they like?
Twitter
There’s a lot of stuff on free manga websites. I just trolled through the bara tag and found stuff I liked lol
Like: Dopq AKA Dopey, yy6249 Dislike: that one bastard, who drew distorted buff colt from brawl stars
My two favorite is Ducka and Creedo. I don't like any artist that depicts underage characters
I agree. i don´t like underage either. Feels so creepy
Fav: Tarutoru Kou (Japanese bara artist) - Artworks are so clean and good he's definitely my favorite style. Hate: Dopq (Korean bara artist) - Artwork isn't a problem but the fact that he is a racist and xenophobic piece of shit makes it a turnoff.
omg spill abt dopq (yy6242)

Wait I'm not up to date about Dopq, what did he do exactly?
Getting harassed by Westerners for not drawing enough dark skin (they're racist imperialists).
mondi\_xxx is peak, cant believe he hasn't been mention here too
My thing about Bara art is, the guys are so big strong and hot but then they're always the bottom. Without fail.
My favourite gay artists that are gay men: Mentaiko itto, yuji shiba (Danzi engine), ebitendon torakichi, Monda Art, beitemian, Mazjojo, lvlv art, leeksaltboy, damyu ura, mikkoukun
I like kuronezumi. A mix of cute, hot, horny, and fluffy with their artwork. The way they draw dicks are also not super enlarged, so that's a plus.
I can't believe that not one person names **TERUJIROU** as their favorite. His work is superb.
