Respect:

Kentaro Miura - Dedicated his entire life to writing Berserk, which is arguably the greatest Manga ever written, and he hasn't officially quit like Inoue did with Vagabond or Togashi seemingly did with Hunter X Hunter.

Honorable Mention:

Akira Toriyama - Wrote both Dr Slump and Dragon Ball while taking no weekly breaks on either of them, with the exception of holidays. That is real commitment.

Disrespect:

Nobuhiro Watsuki - Was in possession of child pornography while being a married man. His sequel Manga to Kenshin was discontinued from being translated in other languages after this.

Honorable Mention:

Shimabukuro Mitsutoshi - Paid a 16 year old girl to have sex with him while being over 10 years older than her.

I respect most mangaka's unless they do something gross like mentioned above because Managaka's work schedules are insane. Granted, I'm sure this can vary from person to person but do you know what Oda's work schedule is? According to a magazine from 2015, he wakes up at 5am, works through the entire day only taking breaks for stuff like eating, going to bed at 2am. He works from 5am-2am, and gets three hours of sleep, that's his regular routine. Though One Piece has started taking more weeks off, so it's likely it's gotten less extreme but still, that's an insane schedule to keep up for as many years as One Piece has been going on. Mad respect for that insanity.

I greatly respect Miura and Murata's drawing talent too, those two have the greatest art I've seen in all of manga. Admittedly I haven't read Berserk, but I've seen enough screenshots to be floored at how impeccably detailed Miura's art is. As for Murata, the One Punch Man manga has highly detailed flipbook animation in it for several sequences, those always greatly impress me.

I, on the other hand, have a great deal of respect for Togashi. The only thing I didn't really get was why some chapters were released with literal rough sketches when Togashi doesn't have to conform to the rigid deadlines other Shonen Jump series do, but I guess for awhile he figured it was better to release anything than something finished (which is clearly not the case anymore [and it never should've been]). Though he did re-draw all those pages for the volume release (and I think he still does re-draw for the volume releases, even though the weekly release chapters have had good art). He definitely doesn't have the work ethic of other mangaka's but eh, he did the full grind with Yu Yu Hakusho, and with how taxing that lifestyle can be I don't blame him from not dealing with it if he doesn't want to (and some haitus are due to health problems).

Though of course mostly respect the quality of his work. Naoki Urasawa's probably my favourite mangaka but Togashi is right up there with him.

George Morikawa. It's not easy to continue writing manga with over 1300 chapters. he also gave each characters their moments to shine. It seems like everyone is the main character in the manga. Oda comes close. His net is 200 million dollar from what I heard. He could have lived for 50 years without doing anything but he continued to do his hobby writing One PIece for his fans.

No mangaka I disrespect maybe those who bring fan service in every fucking scene especially battle manga. And also those who lack originality and have to copy from other manga to keep their mangas relevant.
