I don't hate the new art but it does have the usual issue of changing the vibes of the story? Like it is a decent "your character in my style" in terms of the main characters at least (side characters are.... Who tf are y'all). Like it's similar enough that I can keep reading, but different enough that it's sad :(
Seme less so cause he's kind of the same character but in different fonts? (Barring the less orange hair.) Like old design's characterization displayed the immaturity in all his actions and facial expressions. However the new design, I feels less "I'm loud, cold, and angry cause I don't know any better and I'm selfish" and more "I'm loud cold and angry cause I don't want to be better and im selfish, period"? Does that make sense?
Like he looses the charm of being insufferable but a lil forgiving cause ya know he needs too... Grow up? (lol) And learn. (Could even argue infantilizing maybe?). New design, he's still an asshole, but just an asshole, and it's a lil generic (lmao)
UKE on the other hand got it worse cause he's TWINKIFIED. Like old uke was slim, but still had like a built slim. He at least looked like an average build in clothes. New design took like a good third of his body mass cry.
Worse is he looses a bit of masculinity in his features. Cause it's not enough that he can't lift a bowl anymore, he's got to have FEM FEATURES like long eyelashes, soft face and lips on his small ahh head like FAH. And now every time we get like a special "love vision" scene it's no longer "oh he looks pretty cause the Seme loves him," it now feels more like "he looks pretty cause he's a bit fem" and I hate that :| To be a twink is to make at least 2 people question your gender ig
Ngl everybody is a lot slimmer now and I dislike that :(
Either way, I'll wait till the officials cause at the end of the day FUCK DESIRE SCANS
