I can't get over Sensei's change of art style. She made both Aki & Asami look thiner and younger. Aki literally looks like a teen while Asami looks feminine with his soft features and lacks of muscles. It deseperates me. I feel like the essence of Finder has been taken away. I can't enjoy the characters since I barely recognize them now. Or maybe iam just getting older and I need to move on from this BL :,(
Same :( the both look too different from the beginning.
Isn't it because the artist is different? I heard it's not sensei anymore that draw this due to her health issue.
but I agree that the masculinity of Asami is gone and I take it as character development as Asami becomes more soft compare to the beginning
I was just thinking that Asami just much more mellow and toned down compared to the beginning of the manga, which isn't a bad thing since they've been together so long, but it also feels weird to see him being so openly caring and soft idk its just different
I dunno... I see it as a slight shift/update in the manga medium over the years. Im currently rereading chapter 1 after reading the latest update, and I still see the same characters. As a person who used to draw, I can see this being a product of shifting from manual to possibly digital (or partially digital) art. Tools have changes, preferences in process may have changed over the years, and considering the scope of time this manga has had, the art shift in character design is still familiar/close enough (to me). Ive read a manhua where the character designs were sooo different (i think due to change in artist) and they didnt try to follow the orig designs as much in thr newer chaps. Going to the old chaps for that one was jarring, which I dont experience for Finder now.
Thanks for your insights. It's very interesting to have that kind of perspective on the art & story <3
I've finished rereading and couldn't stop laughing at how they start with clamshell phones and end up with smartphones in a span of months
Ikr that made me so confused cause I had to look back at early chapters since I swore they didn't always have smartphones
Midway, it actually showed the earlier T9 camera phones too lolol
I hate how Akihito is looking younger every chapter, at first he looked 25, a regular guy and now he looks 17 and a very twink 17 at that. And don't get me wrong, I've got nothing against feminine looking men, but the fact that is that at the start of this manga Akihito was totally different in terms of design.
