For Action: Kishimoto Masashi-sensei
No doubt that he can make a manga in an indistinct era, and pull it off...
(I think he's the only one! lol
For drama: Hino Matsuri-sensei
She can pull of a drama-comedy-action mix and have it look wonderful!
I learned how to draw from both of them, and I'm now making my own manga...lol
for book books, it would have to be between Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, or Timothy Zahn, but more leaning toward Sir Arthur Conan Doyle...
