My Happy Marriage T03 de Rito Kohsaka

Mon avis : Qu’est-ce que j’aime ce manga ! L’histoire est tellement prenante et menée avec brio. Quant aux personnages ils ne sont pas en reste. Dans ce troisième tome, j’ai adoré voir Miyo commencer à prendre confiance en elle. La voir également se battre pour son bonheur est un plaisir. Et on peut dire qu’elle n’est pas aidée avec son odieuse famille. Je déteste sa demi-sœur Kaya. C’est une…

Art comparison! A lot of anime characters have similarly-shaped faces. So I wanted to figure out what makes Takaihito look so unusual. These 2 pictures of Kazushi and Takaihito were only a few pages apart, and they're posed similarly, so it makes a good and easy comparison.

Takahaito is described has having pure white skin and bright red lips.

I could tell this even before reading it. I think the secret lies not in the shading of the face, but in the lines.

Takaihito is always drawn with heavy, bold, black lines. Even his eyelids are darker than those of other characters. Most other characters do not have such strong, dark outlines.

Takaihito's eyes and lips are filled in almost completely with black.

Many male characters have mouths drawn in a simple, thin line, but Takaihito's mouth has a clear lower lip that is very dark, and no shadow on his chin. The eyebrows are also very dark and very small.

I also feel like his eyes are not just narrower, but also longer (side-to-side, that is) than other characters. The angles at the corners of the eyes are also more pronounced than in other characters.

So I feel like the artist made full use of some very subtle design choices, things that might each go unnoticed on their own, such as darker lines or the lack of a chin shadow, and put them all together to make Takaihito stand out.

It says the art is by Rito Kohsaka and the the character designer was Tsukiho Tsukioka. Brilliant design choices and artistry, thanks to both of you.
