I don't really know many mangaka. The ones that I know and truely enjoy are Hitoshi Tomizawa - Alien Nine (of course), Azuma Kiyohiko - Azumanga Daioh, Aoyama Gosho - Detective Conan (licensed in the US as Case Closed) and Osamu Tezuka - Metropolis & Astro Boy.
*high fives Deepdeck* Yay for Old School! I'm a Cyborg 009 (by Ishinomori Shoutarou) fan myself.

I would really like to have any of Yoshitoshi ABe's works, but it's hard to fine here
Unfortunately, none of his artbooks that I know of have been licensed.
I wouldn't count on having his "Haibane Renmei" works translated and brought here, either, as they are doujinshis. Which is an absolute shame, since he's one of my favorite artists.
As for the question at hand, I really don't have a specific favorite. I can't say CLAMP, as I like their character designs (especially the ones from their pre-Angelic Layer days), but often despise their stories. The same goes for Yuu/You Asagiri (
Golden Cain). Her stories are often so-so, but her drawing style? Lovely.
I guess I'll just say Sanami Matoh (
Fake). I love her stuff.
