It's so funny how Kouta Hirano is the stereotypical fat, perverted Japanese otaku. The guy is lazy, has sex dolls, wrote a song about breasts in one of the Hellsing volumes, apparently has no wife or children, and yet he's so good at making manga?
Integra is a good female character, and Seras, despite her echi, is also a great character. His style and designs are incredible (Alucard is probably the best vampire design there is, and look, my favorite work is the Castlevania games), and he knows comics better than many current manga artists.
You know when there are physical volumes and the double-page spreads are cut in half and look awful? When Kouta Hirano drew, he already did it with that in mind.
