While the Shonen Manga series should always have an interesting story, convincing characters and exciting battle scenes to excel in the competition, one thing most fans notice before anything else is art. While some manga authors will stick to a specific style or aesthetics throughout their series, some who have drastically changed their drawings during the story, and there are several reasons why this may be the case.
On the one hand, adapting to another style can help reflect the mood of the series. Given that most of the hustle and bustle stories will be gradually darker and more advanced in the sequel, works of art can help convey the increasing seriousness of the situation. On the other hand, it is not a secret that manga authors are often given very strict terms to complete their work every week, which can also affect the designs of characters and environment. It was said that it is time to look deeper at several popular bustle Manga series, which has undergone drastic changes in their artistic styles from the beginning.
Bleach
From cartoon visuals to elegant, stylish and moody patterns
TITE KUBO, author of extremely popular and highly influence BleachHe always had talent for drawing characters that seem to be much more mature and realistic than he would often see in most of the bustle manga. In the early arches, however BleachSpecifically, there was still a very cartoon visual aesthetics that could be obtained from Ichigo and his friends, and Kubo often uses many unpredictable and comedy facial and poses to give this series a little more than too dark.
However, as the bets began to rise higher and higher, Kub's work of art began to move. When he looked at the characters themselves, it became clear that Kubo was a much sharper and more sophisticated style that helped replicate the more moody and stoic vibration that has become synonymous with Bleach. This can be seen most clearly in the arch with fullbring, which feels like Seinen manga rather than bustle, given how many many characters look, and Kubo would continue to follow this style of template until the very end of the thousand -year blood war.
Joj's bizarre adventure
Araki alleviated muscles to lean into his own unique aesthetics
-
Manga Artist: Hirohiko Araki
Since anime has only existed a little longer than ten years, it may be easy to forget that Araki really draws Joj's bizarre adventure At this point for more than 30 years and there are no signs of slowing down soon. With regard to Jojo first released at the end of 80. Fist of the northern star It dominated the market and Japanese pop culture, it makes sense why many of Araki's characters looked like brutal bodybuilders who were all much larger and sub -capable than an average man.
Araki would continue in this style until he eventually reached Part 4, where the protagonists began to look much slimmer and charming than Jonathan, Joseph and Jotaro who came earlier. The first example is Giorno in part 5, along with the other members of the Bucciarati team, who all look a bit more realistic because of the incredible amount of detail that Araki puts into his body proportions. It is also important to point out how incredible Araki's work of art has happened over time, because some of the chapters in Phantom Blood may look like harsh comics, reading the Steelball Chapter Run feels like looking into the Renaissance artist.
Slam dunk
Takhiko Inoue became a master in displaying fast and liquid movements with his work of art
-
Manga Artist: TameHiko Inoue
Slam dunk It is a series that has become famous for its beloved characters and inspiring news, but while the works of art have also become highly admired, it took a while to finally get there. This does not mean that the art in Slam dunk It was bad, just as it is with most manga authors, it started with a basic style that allowed some characters to feel a little more exaggerated and how they moved and acted in court.
However, as the series continues, it is clear that Inoue has focused more on the realism of his characters. This resulted in some frankly illustrations that looked like real paintings, given how much work has emphasized the muscles of the characters and proportions of the body to ensure that everyone feels like real athletes. Today, Slam dunk It is one of the vibrant examples of the series that has improved with time, especially with its artistic style.
Attack on titanium
Isayama really intensified his work of art when Aot started taking off
-
Manga Artist: Hajime Isayama
Although for a long time debates on whether Attack on titanium It can be considered bustle, given how violent and dark it is, was still published for the first time in the bustle of Magazine, which would do technically usable. While a very successful anime adaptation Attack on titanium Maybe he got a strong start, one thing that prevented manga to achieve normal success was her work of art. Isayam himself noted that his works of art, apart from the stunning two -page spread, which still look absolutely incredible, were ultimately quite amateur for a series that was so ambitious.
Once Attack on titanium But he really started to get some couple, Isayam's work of art improved with jumps and borders, not only in terms of his characters, which now look much more detailed and more sophisticated, but also his environment. A clear example of this is how Isayama was able to portray Marley's land quite late in the story. Rather than being a lot of harsh buildings and trees, it felt like a realistic area that was really experienced, thanks to the amount of efforts he spent to show even the smallest details. At a time when the series was reaching its end, Isayam was released a lot of terribly detailed panels that did an excellent work to pass on how high the bets increased.
Jujutsu kaisen
Some theorizing a sudden change in JJK art reflects the character's own views on the world
-
Manga Artist: Gege Akutami
The Jujutsu kaisen Manga contains one of the most difficult shifts in the artistic style he has ever seen in the hustle and bustle, and although countless debates have occurred about whether Gege's work of art has improved or worse, it is clear how it really changed. In the early story, the arches contained a relatively rough but still engaging aesthetics that helped each of the wizards and curses to feel different and unique in their design, but there was still stiffness that some action scenes could feel a little slow and confused.
All of this has completely changed after the Shibuya incident, when many characters began to receive very different performances, including Itadori himself, who was now much wider in his features and also looked much older than before. While the freezing frames of the characters may not have looked as captivating as before, this more minimalist artistic style greatly benefited the action, because it allowed the characters to feel much more smoother and more natural as they move. Although it seems likely that this sudden change was due to the fact that Gege tried to keep up with harsh terms, some fans considered it to represent Itadori's own mental state and, as began to see the world in much darker light after the Shibuya incident.
My heroic academy
At the end of the MHA run, Horikoshi became one of the best artists in the bustle
-
Manga Artist: Koei Horikoshi
My heroic academy It is a rare example of the bustle series, which has already started with an incredible work of art, but somehow managed to achieve even higher heights, the longer it continued. In the beginning, the characters Horikoshi were well known for being very wide and young in their appearance, which gave the series a little more aesthetically similar to child aesthetics than at that time many other series. It wouldn't be so forever, because once a blanket and 1A students began to leave their rehearsals and face the real world, and the works of art have become noticeably darker and even more detailed than before, especially in the case of a blanket.
The blanket may have begun as a coward and naive would -be a hero, but after a few hundred chapters his appearance changed completely and had much more serious facial expressions along with a harsh suit that reflected his thinking at that time. Horikoshi also started dating his double pages, especially when it comes to villains, who will also receive a significant upgrade to their designs, especially after overworking the arch, where the artistic style really begins to go through a noticeable change.
