Excluding that, but there are plenty of popular manga that are good. Ashita no Joe, Devilman, Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, etc etc.
I'm not going to tell you to search for random authors like Fuyukawa who you probably never heard about or anything like that just to seem pretentious, but that doesn't mean I have to spoonfeed you like some gaia tier request either.

Devilman was only good because it was so different to what else was made at the time. Other than that Go Nagai has written far better things involving the Devilman saga and characters from the Devilman universe.

>>143867673
Devilman Lady is fine at best and straight up bad at worst.
Shin Devilman is fun but that's about it. It's not good.
The Nagai Neo Devilman chapters are good, but considering they only work in conjunction with the main Devilman story it's not fair to rate them by themselves.
Amon I haven't read.
Devilman vs. Hades was good, I agree with that one.
The Getter Robo and Cyborg 009 crossovers were fine, but not great. Especially the C:009 one.
Devilman G and Violence Jack I'll admit I haven't read.
Never read the Sirene spin off or Dynamic Heroes either.
Adding to that, I disagree with your statement about how Devilman was only good because of how different it was. The art alone makes it top tier just because of how stylish and memorable it is, and that is excluding the artstyle itself which is also nice as far as I'm concerned, but it looks wonky sometimes so it's down to personal preference.
The story itself while somewhat cliché was augumented by the masterful execution.
This is not really related to the point but I'll say it anyway. For once Nagai's fetishes actually helped develop the story which makes the whole thing better since you can tell he had fun while drawing the series.

There are funny moments in Devilman you fuck, but that scene was not intended as one. I love Devilman, I love Go Nagai, I love Violence Jack, I love Cutey Honey and I love Mazinger Z. But the original Devilman manga is not that good, it's best quality is how different it is compared to manga from the time, how Go Nagai's artstyle breaks from norms with harsh lines, graphic depictions of violence and nudity, with occult and perverse themes. But that doesn't some how make it better than a manga with years worth of planning and collaborations between artist and writer. It doesn't compare to those series, it's good, it's brilliant for it's time, but it's only legendary for what effect it had upon manga.

>There are funny moments in Devilman you fuck
That's what I said, yes.
>but that scene was not intended as one
I always took it as one because it resembles other comedic scenes from his other works. It's the exact same style of comedy Nagai used in stuff like Getter Robo or that Mazinger sequel with the greek inspiration.
>But that doesn't some how make it better than a manga with years worth of planning and collaborations between artist and writer
I don't see why not. Only because people work together for a lot of years it doesn't mean their work have to be good. I mean, just look at Ohba and Obata (arguably the most famous writer/artist duo); they just keep producing mediocre works one after the other even though they should be creating masterworks, considering Obata has a nice art and Ohba has fun ideas.
>>143868655

GTO is one of those things I will never understand why people like, it has pretty mediocre art and the artist doesn't seem to give to shit about improving for the past 2 decades he's been drawing the same hideously generic faces and expressions.
