Hi, I've just registered here today so I'm still a bit lost but I hope it's alright to ask here for some recommendations:)
I'm generally looking for manga with "good" art (meaning: clean, detailed, not "ordinary").

So far my list consists of:
Natsu no Zenjitsu
Ran to Haiiro no Sekai
Oyasumi Punpun
Berserk
Emanon
Aria/Amanchu
Yokohama Kaidashiou Kikou
Blade of the Immortal
Claymore
One Piece
Otoyomegatari/Emma
Blame!
Dorohedoro
Vagabond
Vinland Saga
One Punch-Man

I know the list is already quite big, but that's exactly why I'm hoping for some other titles - maybe even some that aren't as well known.
- Every genre is fine, except for "pure" horror. I'm also not interested in yuri/shoujo ai/yaoi/shounen ai right now (though I do read them)

Dark Air
Sun Ken Rock
City of Darkness
Feng Shen Ji
Immortal Regis/ Cavalier of the Abyss
Blood and Steel

Not sure if you'll like the art but it's the ones that comes to my mind when you ask for good art ^^

[101010]

Gantz
Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro (this may not quite qualify)
Shamo
Claymore
Zetman (this may not be what you are looking for as well)

Hm, that's a shame; I thought of Hideout in regards of good art...

Let's see; I found this recently as well, which I reacted to due to the neat artwork. Also, anything by Boichi; Sun Ken Rock like Rol suggested is a prime example, and there's also Space Chef Caisar and Hotel...

It's sort of an acquired taste, but I recommend Oniichan no Koto Nanka Zenzen Suki ja Nai n da kara ne!!
It took me a while to notice it, since the first thing that stands out is the oddly proportioned characters, but the art is actually very impressive. It is a very distinct style though, so there's no telling who it will appeal to and who it won't.

[svines85]

I guess "good art" is kind of subjective, kind of "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" sort of thing, but here's a handful that haven't been mentioned yet that I'd personally describe that way.........

Webtoons maybe?

http://vatoto.com/comic/_/comics/annarasumanara-r1639 (some of the best art in manga/manhwa/or a webtoon.......just my opinion though)

In webtoons, there's The God of High School that's good. but if I think of it, every webtoon that I read has good art x)

[inzaratha]

Kokou no Hito
REAL

[Horn]

How could I forget Minamoto-kun Monogatari... Well, if we go by the borderline H category, then Nana to Kaoru has real good art, too.

As far as webtoons go, Noblesse has some stellar art.

[Argent Witch]

You might be interested in browsing through this list. Reading series in full colour is a nice change of pace.

Kisswood
Song of the Cloud (not complete)

Examples ^^

[Vanessa]

Wow, so many replies!
Thanks everyone! I will definitely go through each suggestion.
I already read/am reading: Noblesse, Kisswood, Annarasumanara, Hotel, Claymore and Gantz.

[A.E ✰]

Annarasumanara definitely! DO YOU BELIEVE IN.... DAMN.. JUST DAMN.


art? Bakuman & Deathnote, prolly not what youre looking for but it is created by one of the most renowned manga artists in jap!

[omnipwnage]

Kiba no Tabishounin - Arms Peddler, as one that's not been mentioned yet. I would have said Otoyomegatari if it wasn't already on the list lol

Welcome to the Community!

hmm, good art...that's pretty subjective...here are my recommendations though...

Until Death Do Us Part
enigma
what was that...oh, Klan!
Minimum is great too...

[Nepenthe]

Ones that come to my mind are:
Masca and Evyione (done by the same person)
Orange
Saiunkoku Monogatari
Sakamichi no Apollon
Ame Nochi Hare

[Aquinox]

Well, there is/was

Umi no Misaki (the art kind of deteriorated a bit)
Ah! My Goddess! (same, there is a definite turnabout(simplification) in the artwork somewhere around ch 57 or so)
Id (started with crappy artwork, now it's good imo)
Kagetora
Kanade (both by the same mangaka, a little simple so maybe not entirely what you'd want)

[Leoh]

a fairy tale for the demon lord
