If you look at the ears theyre different in every panel and on some panel the eyes are looking in slightly different directions. In the first chapter at some point his tie just becomes two large shapes rather than being tied together, and the fingernails on the closeup panels are all placed a bit differently and some of them are misplaced... I'm not saying that all of this is ai, there are some parts that the author uses 3d backgrounds and the colouring seems genuine, but the drawings for the characters themselves on some panels seem to look uncanny, which seems either heavily ai referenced or traced off ai
Literally an explanation for all these. Many artist do the cock-eye thing without realising… the kanon meme from 2002?
I don’t see how the ears are different in every panel? MC’s ears has that consistent )( shape at the top half of his ears throughout the story, with additional lines getting added in depending on the angle. The fingernails are the same, I don’t really see the misplaced nails you’re talking about, unless you mean the unfinished lineart for the nails. And the tie lol, author just made it a solid colour so that they can skip the details on a tie, so yea, it literally is just two shapes on top of each other or even one whole shape, I fear many artist do this same shortcut too.
It’s quite obvious that author skipped a lot of details. If the art is mediocre to you, just say that. Don’t just slap AI on anything you find “uncanny” unless there’s certain and concrete proof, which I don’t really see in your reasoning.

is it just me or are some of the panels ai
