Aspring 'manga' artists should probably read this

[jellybrains]

Some of you may or may not know that I'm a little biased against American imitations of the manga style. For some reason, a lot of it looks very displeasing to my eyes, and for the longest time I've wondered why. Well, actually, I know at least one little thing that really bugs me about it: badly-drawn mouths in profile view.

YOU KNOW, I was thinking this when reading the Western manga a friend bought me.

Really? XD Well, one day I want to write a full article about why it's really easy to distinguish Western manga from Japanese manga, but that'll actually take... research. >A>

YEAAAH, they do it a few times, but it's not too bad, you know? I'd let you research the book I have but. . . .it's smutty. :[

I like this entry a whole lot.
