There is always competition between characters to excel in the beauty industry. Now the rankings of Eheno and Waifu are constantly present on the net, in every social network. Manga is chock-full of characters that are thought to be beautiful or at least normal. And what about the ugly characters? Why are there so few in the manga?
The reason is explained by Takenoko, a light novel author who uploaded a post to his Twitter account with the answer to this question. Easy, for an illustrator Takenoko spoke to, ie It takes longer to draw ugly characters.
And the problem isn't a lack of skills: in fact, everyone is capable of drawing ugly characters. the The problem, however, is the time required to make a character look ugly. Considering that a manga artist is often struggling with absurdly high rates, with 20 pages published weekly or 50 pages monthly, the number of lines required to draw must be reduced.
This is in sharp contrast to the drawing of an ugly character. In fact, most of the time in manga, the fewer lines a character has, the more beautiful it is; On the contrary, an ugly character has many details that characterize that ugliness. This means it takes more lines and strokes to draw an ugly character, wasting more time for the mangaka or illustrator on duty. So simplicity in manga is beauty and here it is explained because there are few bad characters in the manga.
Here are the ugliest manga and what are the ugliest anime of all time.
