Gets me a bit mad, since it's honestly my favorite manga ever. <br /><br />Y'know how you disliked how the manga didn't progress at all in the first 8 volumes? The story takes a genuinely amazing leap after like... Vol.14?

Although I thought that they did it digitally, which a lot of them may, but putting out a popular series every week can be a lot of work, even with assistants. So you can understand how a lot of mangaka would choose to do it.<br />To be honest sometimes it bothers me, sometimes it doesn't. They should just choose when and when not too do it with a little more consideration sometimes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-643247485418610029.post-87096451535965997032012-09-21T16:52:00.024-07:002012-09-21T16:52:00.024-07:00I remember the white shadows thing on YKK, but it ...I remember the white shadows thing on YKK, but it never bugged me there.

About...Pillar Men... yep, I know what you mean Hox.<br />About the white shadows: I totally agree with you and you know what? I always thought they were cut-outs. I mean, author-san gives a white page to assistant-san saying "I want you to draw me a detailed forest/city/landscape here" and then he goes to he's table and draws the characters positioned as they should be in the scene. Then he cuts them out with a cutter leaving a little white around the lines and glue them on the scene assistant-san has poured he's soul into. Make a copy. Done. But you say are actually drawn in the same scene right? Maybe it's just to make them stand out and that's it, to not lose them into the backgroud, in particular if they are wearing clothes with "colors" too similar to the background itself. The final effect flats everything out though. I've seen these white shadows used often. I still don't know if it's a good thing or not. For example, let's think about Asano's Punpun in the city background. You often find Punpun in some point of the background but many times you have to actually search for him 'cause it's so mingled with it that he doesn't stand out. Even thoug it'a...bird? A pyramid? Some stuffed toy with a big mouth? I think the effect in this case is an actual choice, to make Punpun fuse or dissolve into the background. I can't explain better than this, my English fails me here. To conclude, white shadows are a no no for me.Gurennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-643247485418610029.post-37307980106324704062012-09-17T19:32:09.153-07:002012-09-17T19:32:09.153-07:00Aw man, if I get a translator to help, I can help ...Aw man, if I get a translator to help, I can help typeset Supinamarada!!! there seems to be raws for all the volumes.
