the attention to D E T A I L. you can tell how well-researched the culture is from food to clothing to patterns and i love it.
something about the author's style is super sensual and clean
i was obsessed with this art in high school xD -- super creative designs -- very taisho era + steampunk aesthetics
a classic inspiration along with paprika and other of this era
the cover...... the art..... im so........ jealous........
they're all sO PrEtTY -- her style is so sharp but charming at the same time?
some of the linework and shading here is soooo nice -- i love the pen texture and inking
this has some insane spreads — same author as oyasumi punpun
wow. cinematic.

Wow love your commentary–some of them are spot on. Are we the same age? bcs Pandora Hearts also had me on chokehold in middle school haha. Around 2012-2013 I learned about webtoons (Annarasumanara, Nowhere Boy, Girls of the Wild) and love the artstyle as well.
it sounds like we might be haha. those are some great webtoons!! i know i’m missing a lot of stuff on this list since i started it so late in my reading journey. thanks for the reminder~
