Moegi Yuu's artwork has gotten so much worse now compared to this. Usually a mangaka's proportions get better over time, but here the necks and heads are normal sized, but in her newer works the heads are so tiny I have to go through her works quickly for it not to bother me.

    I think her artwork improves and that's what she prefers now. It's hard to draw you know

    I'm a professional artist, but I don't think it's all that "hard" to draw, because I've been doing it so long as I imagine Moegi Yuu has also. It's her job and she's been doing it for over a decade, she should know what she's doing by now. Granted she's definitely improved in some areas, her current artwork is more fluid, cleaner, and more detailed. I'm guessing it was a purposeful choice on her part to further exaggerate proportions, particularly with the neck, head, shoulders, and hands but it's a bizarre choice because it's one of the things people complain about most with older BL artwork (where it usually wasn't a deliberate choice on the artist, but more because many early BL artists had no formal training). She's also terribly inconsistent with the proportions now. Although I may not find the way she does it appealing, there's nothing inherently wrong with non-realistic proportions, but they should be consistent.

    If you are not much of an artist yourself you might not see what I'm talking about, but anyone who is will likely be bothered by her newer artwork after looking at it for more than 2 seconds.

    Examples:

    http://iweb9.mangapicgallery.com/r/newpiclink/kami_sama_no_iutoori_moegi_yuu/2/69e71e1aed23292a8c8226c4afe9bdd6.jpeg (giant hands and giant giraffe neck in top right panel)
    http://iweb6.mangapicgallery.com/imgfiles/kami_sama_no_iutoori_moegi_yuu/3/014.png (2nd row left panel, the head to length of body shoulder to shoulder realistically is 1:3, here it's like 1:6)

    Those are just two examples, but there problems everywhere. Oddly enough it's really only the seme's (or at least the tall characters). The ukes/normal height characters look fine most of the time and more like her old style, but the tall ones look like they have Marfan syndrome. (which is surely unintentional but given their freakish heights, makes some sense)
