Outside of certain people I care about maybe…
Akira Toriyama is the greatest ningen who ever lived…forget about ningen he is GAWD.

The ones who discovered cures for until then untreatable diseases, the ones who work non stop to make the lives of those with terminal diseases easier, the ones who worked non stop to make these vaccines in huge and record time saving millions of people, the ones who make food and open restaurants at a very affordable price to feed the poor, the ones cooking non stop, the ones who invented technological advancements enough to make everyone's lives easier... those are the Gawd ones.

I looked up ningen and found results about whales???

For his manga I'd say he's pretty average/below average. I think Miura, Urasawa, Inoue, Ito, Punpun guy and Chi no Wadachi guy are much better.

Nah, not really. His art was GAWD-like and his way of telling the story & making everything look kewl was unmatched.

Ningen means human/people or what-ever.

PunPun guy's a bit hit or miss. He did great work on PunPun but Nijigahara Holograph was pretty meh. Inoue's work on Slam Dunk was phenomenal considering its weekly schedule but Vagabond falls off a cliff after volume 28, Urasawa's works after 20th Century Boys/Monster haven't been that good. Chi no Wadachi seems aight from what I've read (not much) but from what I've heard of his other work Inside Mari it sounds like trash. Dude's hit or miss as well.

Also it's worth noting these guys all created manga for a far higher age demographic with less time constraints, and in the case of Miura he devoted all his time to his manga to the point that he said whenever he didn't need to help out with other projects like Berserk anime he stayed glued to his work desk for 16 hours and deactivated his cell phone since he had no social life beyond talking to his assistants and a few friends.

Toriyama's at least worlds above Togashit, the MHA guy, Kishimoto, Kubo, the Demon Slayer author and a long list of other shonen artists who either produce Fairy Tail tier trash or take more breaks than a smashed kit kat bar.

Miura, Inoue, and Yukimura are all way better authors, IMO.
Miura worked hard to a fault though, Inoue has no motivation and Yukimura's releases are pr slow with a lot of his monthly chapters having under 30 (and sometimes under 25) pages which has resulted in VS still being incomplete after 17+ years of serialization.

Me personally, I'd prefer Vinland Saga have the art it did in the first volume but be released quickly than for it to drag out until we're all over 35. There's a reason why VS season 2 anime is just coming out now even though the first season was 3 years ago.
