Junji Ito is a very good creator of horror drawings. He creates the whole manga, but in my view his storytelling is not close to being as notable as his images
So what's your favorite image from what he drew?

Dont know that much about manga, but I dont see how it can in any way be as diverse as European comics. Most mangas are about some cyber-girl with huge eyes and huge tits fighting in a futuristic Techno-Tokyo all looking exactly the same. However Eurocomics range from Tintin or Asterix to Manara erotic stories including any possible degrees and styles in the middle.
From what I've understood there's an almost redicilous amount of manga produced. As in, there might be more manga in production than european and american comics combined. If nothing else, the sheer volume makes for a rather diverse set of genres in manga.
The previously mentioned Hayate the combat butler is actually pretty diverse on it's own, I think.
As for the diversity of european comics: either you guys are overestimating it or, more probably, Norway is a cultural backwater that mostly gets american comics (seriously, I've mostky seen Spider Man and Donald Duck on shelves)

Apparently something like 89% of Japanese read manga on a regular basis which have a wide variety of stories and genres. Probably the best I have read
Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind.
20 year work of art that is the benchmark in which all other mangas are measured up to. And multi million selling book.
Nausicaa is pretty swell, although I only watched the movie, that said Hayao Miyazaki both wrote the manga and directed the movie, so I assume they are close enough to one another.
I like to read Berserk.

It's been going 25 years and has great artwork. (in recent years anyway)
The story is very very dark ^.^
It stars the original spiky haired protagonist with the hugely oversized sword, Guts!
Not sure why I have to read right to left.
Gives me headache.
Hunter x Hunter is very good too.
