for me it's HINO Matsuri and ODAGIRI Hotaru
does anyone read mangas that made by both of them?
THEIR ARTWORK'S SO LOOK-ALIKE in my eyes 😲
It's so bold in HINO Matsuri's Vampire Knight and ODAGIRI Hotaru's Uragiri wa Boku no Namae o Shitteiru/Betrayal Knows My Name/UraBoku, since both of them contain harem full of Bishonen 😀
Since I know Vampire Knight first, when I saw UraBoku cover, I almost thought "is this VK doujin?" 😀
Make me wonders, maybe they have worked as mangaka assistant in the same place? Or maybe odagiri was hino's assistant? or hino that was odagiri's assistant? or just friend? or one is fans of another? or... just a coincidence 😀
meh... so sorry for gramatical error, mainly in topic's title 🤢

I agree - because I saw VK first, I immediately thought Uraboku was VK!

The male characters do look alike, but Hino Matsuri and Odagiri Hotaru have different style for female characters.
Another mangaka that have similiar artwork is Oda Eiichiro and Mashima Hiro

This is what I think too, I think Hino Matsuri & Odagiri Hotaru male characters look alike too, but I think there something similar about their female characters too! Except for there two mangaka, I can't think of anyone....

For me, I think it is SAKAMOTO Kenshirou and MASHIMA Hiro. Their work have really similar artwork. Expecially the main protagonist.

I don't think Odagiri and Matsuri's artwork look really similar, I own the manga too, and when I'm bored, I read them -- so I look at their artwork pretty often --- even the character styles look different, especially their angles, etc. If you compare Luka to Kaname, there's a big different in looks; personally, I think Matsuri's art looks softer (delicate?) while Odagiri seems more bold with it. The designs are way different, too, because Matsuri sticks with a more elegant style, imo, and I can tell the different between her characters (their eye features, eyebrows, etc are different), while on the other hand, in The Betrayal Knows My Name, most of the characters share the same facial features (if not all).

@wpf
Yeap yep at first glance their artwork character seems so similar 😀
@all
Yep yep I agree, Odagiri's more bold 😀
Odagiri's female chara is more...hmm... Hino's female charas are softer 😃
Hmmm but maybe I prefer Matsuri's artwork a little 😀
