“I just…really like it…Mr. Reigen,” Mob whispered. He hugged the mug closer. “Thank you.”
“It—don’t mention it. It’s milk.” Then his voice dropped to an airy whisper. “It’s…just milk…”
Reigen did not know what expression he wore as he watched Mob raise the cup and drink the rest of it, something slack, something just a bit shocked. Something that maybe fit the ache he felt tightening his throat.
He couldn’t fathom what sort of world the kid had just escaped, but he knew now he didn’t want to. And he didn’t want to make Mob relive it, not if it was something so horrific that a single glass of warm milk could move him to tears.
“Here,” Reigen said, sliding his mug across the oaken table. “Have mine too…”
ONE ART IMPROVEMENT!!! Here’s some things I noticed… head/face shape became rounder and more consistent (which i think is the most noticeable change), eyes slightly bigger, noses also seem bigger+more 3D, bodies more proportional, hair neater, lines smoother…
These are comparing faces from the earliest and latest chapters, but his art improved/changed a lot during the middle too of course…
I just… really had to add Reigen to this post because I feel like he’s the most noticeable example of improvement and I’m just so proud of ONE.
This is important I really wanna explain
There’s so much pressure to be better-than-great if you want
to pursue any kind of career. And that kind of hyper-perfectionist attitude burns
out so so many people who would otherwise want to try something but don’t feel worthy of even attempting.
And you know, ONE’s art right now isn’t typical manga
quality, but it’s good. It’s good and
it’s so amazing to me because of how visibly it’s improved. ONE is someone who
started with drawing skills you see on the left and said “fuck it” and wrote
manga because it’s something he wanted to do. And he’s improved so much through
constant practice.
I’ve seen posts talking about the professional manga remake
that One Punch Man has, as well as the brilliant animation that go into the OPM
and MP100 animes, and those are all incredible things. But it seems to brush
over the fact that ONE is still the one doing the front-running. He’s still
putting out the manga chapters for OPM and MP100.
I love the success and recognition ONE is getting. That’s
why I know about him to start. But all the brilliant and beautiful adaptations
aside, I love seeing reminders that ONE himself is still the one making his own
content, still improving, and still putting out an incredible story.
Somewhat inspired by the latest chapter. I’m wondering if Shigeo is terrified of being feared. It would be rather fitting consider what happened at the beginning.
