Are there any popular manga artists or series that are particularly well-known in Japan that I could learn about?

Osamu Tezuka (*Astro Boy*) is considered the 'God of Manga.' Other influential artists include Akira Toriyama (*Dragon Ball*), Rumiko Takahashi (*Inuyasha*, *Urusei Yatsura*), and Eiichiro Oda (*One Piece*). *One Piece*, *Demon Slayer*, *Attack on Titan*, and *Jujutsu Kaisen* are currently incredibly popular in Japan and worldwide.
