Most Consistent Manga Art

[alexj-12]

Some manga keep their art tight and consistent from the first chapter to the last. Others shift styles or lose detail as the series goes on. Which runs do you think maintained the same quality and style throughout?

impossible. Every shonen manga i've read has changed from start to finish multiple times. Artists change style ever so slightly over time and are never the same as when they've started.

True, it’s basically impossible for a shonen to stay totally consistent. Artists always shift a bit over time, it’s just how it goes.

Yeah, I’d agree with that, total consistency is basically unrealistic. Even small tweaks in line work or character designs count as a shift over time. Some series just manage to evolve gracefully without it feeling jarring, which is I suppose probably the closest you'll get to consistency

 

[CiderHype]

Yeah, that’s fair. I think part of it too is how much the artist’s intent changes, like sometimes the “shift” isn’t just style drift, it’s them figuring out what they actually want the tone to be. Some series end up better because the art evolves, not in spite of it.

True. Because the longer they draw, the more they practise, henceforth the better they get, which opens to more creative output arsenal
