I may have missed some Western compnies who translates mangas, so I added the "other" option.
So which publisher is your favourite and why?
My favourite is "Broccoli" however the company is not large and as far as I know the only mangas they publish are Di Gi Charat, Juvenille Orion, Galaxy Angel and a few more. The reason why I like Broccoli is because the translations are the most accurate when comparing to other companies such as Tokyopop and VIZ. Also Broccoli always gives tons of extra stuff & mange previews at the end of the manga.

Damn, you like Viz?
NNNNNNOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
but then again we all got different opinions.
Viz is one of the most worst companies at translating, for example pick up a Di Gi Charat Manga published by Viz & you'll find that its all wrong ><" They translate the end of Piyoko's sentences as squeek when its meant to by "Pyo" and it totally made me put the book down.
I suppose the Shonen jump mangas by Viz is not that bad at all, but still its not one of the best translaters.
OHHHH NO!!! Tokyopop? Even though Tokyopop is one of the largest manga companies in the West it lacks in translating & printing images.
Anyhow we all got different opinions lol

Definitely CLAMP.
The gorgeous art of CLAMP really attracts me. They also published CardCaptor Sakura,Chobits,Tsubasa,XXXholic,etc. which are some of my favorite anime.
Then again,TokyoPop and Viz are good as well.

Asianpop-Blasian, this thread is talking about PUBLISHERS, not manga-ka! Ah, I havent read any but Tokyopop so I wouldn't really know, but Tokyopop ARE getting better at translating, like in the CCS boxed sets and .Hack//Legend of the Twilight Bracelet they left in the honorific's and the Onii/Onee-chan's too.....but I don't know how they did the actual speech, since I don't honestly know what the original stuff sooooo.....  Oh, just realised, I have Azumanga Daioh from ADV, but that's my only exception... |

I'd say VIZ but Tokyopop do publish some pretty good stuff too! But yeah simply because VIZ publish Excel Saga and Death Note they're easily my favourites!

I like Del Rey best as they have those interesting translation notes in the back of each book which I like reading, and they keep the original Japanese sound effects in but with a small translation in or beside the character.
I don't like having to flick back to a sound-effect glossary on the last page like with Evangelion. It's annoying so I end up not using it.
