    I’m probably gonna get shit for this preamble… but I can often tell when a lot of comics in the manga style created by a (or predominantly) non-japanese artist(s). There’s just something about the facial expression or the subtle differences in proportions—I can’t quite put my fingers on it—that feels “different,” and it’s honestly kind of a turn off.

    Anyway, but this one isn’t like that at all. It feels very manga yet the jokes and the context are very Western so it’s really throwing off my senses. I like it a lot!

      Personally I like the different art style. It makes it look a lot less generic. I intentionally deviate from the overused blender anime artstyle for this reason

        Haha, see, I knew someone would make a comment like this. I’m Japanese and grew up with anime since the 80s and even felt it growing up watching anime-inspired French cartoons. It just feels “off.” I personally hate the loli wifu type stuff.

        Anyway, I know it comes off as such, but I didn’t mean to sound elitist or yuck anyone’s yum.
