Yabuki VS Ogure: Who does it better? Part 2
Who would make a better hentai artist?
0
I know the names don't sound familiar. You might even end up saying "Yabuki who?" or "Who the hell is Ogure?!". But let me assure you, you may not know their names, but you definitely know their works.
In the blue corner: Yabuki Kentarou
Yabuki Kentarou is the artist of the ToLoveRu fame. The series got axed recently but there's no denying the popularity of its women with the male population. Truly, this series was fan service at its best.

In the red corner: Ogure Ito
Ogure Ito is known better as Oh! Great. His works include Tenjou Tenge and Air Gear. Unlike Yabuki, Oh! Great has actually delved into making doujins, but his art back then wasn't as refined as it is now. His women have a more mature vibe.

Now, both are not hentai artists. But if they somehow miraculously made the jump to hentai, I would have to rate them at least at Yamatogawa's level and that's saying something. But I'd like to hear your thoughts, who would you rather have as a hentai/doujin artist?

Gotta go with Ogure Ito on this one, though I'm a little bias since I love tenjou tenge and despise To Love-ru.

If Ogure jumped into doujins with his current level of art, he's plow through Yabuki like it was nobody's business, so he gets my vote. It's only by a hair, though, since Yabuki could beat him in terms of storyline... that will find a target within the population that likes stories with their hentai, I think.
Me, I'd buy both anyway~

Lopsided eh, I actually expected a closer fight. Well, I didn't throw my vote in yet so I might as well. I will be the first to pick Yabuki, but he wins only by a hair. It really could have gone either way, and I may just find myself pulling for Oh Great tomorrow.
I find this match up intriguing as it reminds me of the Yama vs Gunma match up. Gunma's art is specifically tailor made for Hentai. On the other hand, Yama's art is flexible to the extent that I belive it would fare well even outside of hentai.
The Ogure-Yabuki match up has almost the same feel. Oh Great is the best at drawing HOT women hands down. Hentai or not, his women are designed to give the average male an instant boner, so much so in fact that the his frequent fan service almost seems like a cruel tease.
On the other hand, Yabuki's art could be tweaked to suit a GP rated children's cartoon, as well as a R-18 hentai. The fact that I can find his art both cute and sultry is what makes me pull for him. If any of you have read "An Angel's Marshmallow" doujin, you would know what I mean.
So there you have it, Yabuki wins it for me, but not by much.

I'll have to pick Yabuki here. I just like his art much more. Well, don't actually care for ToLoveRu that much, but Black Cat, on the other hand...

I have watched the series but I didn't even recognize the art similarities immediately.

Yabuki's now doing a series called Mayoi Neko Overrun!.Tried reading the first chapter. For some strange reason, the main female protagonist reminds me of Taiga. Still, this manga seems to pale in comparison to ToLoveRu.

Yeah, it seemed to me that he had a real passion for his work in TLR... and then that shitstorm with his wife happened, so he couldn't keep working on that, so he's on something new, for which he has much less passion.
