| Like the litle says, What manga serie whose art do you think got better or worse over time? For me I think I go with this ones. The ones that got better : Gintama (both the action and character expression evolved to fit the serious tone that series would later get accustomed to) HxH (At the start it suffered from having not much backgrounds and the art had a lot of mistakes here and there, but in time both of this problems got better over time) The ones that got worse Naruto (The expressions and emotions on the characters were a lot more lively duirng like the first 20 volymes, but after that the characters art felt more and more flat the longer it went. Bleach (Got less detailed on backgrounds and characters expressions which had it´s moments got limited) |

| Hare kon managed to do both in a way. The artist became better at drawing feet as the series progressed but relied more on photographs for backgrounds. |

| The vast majority of long-running manga I've read have improved art. I can't really think of any that have gotten worse over time lol. But these are the ones that immediately come to mind, where the initial art look bad - mediocre at best (imo) and become definitively better: Noblesse: The biggest changes were mainly in the initial chapters, but the characters' hairstyles before looked hideous and I just didn't like the art style overall Tower of God: More shadowing, realistic body proportions, look less stiff, etc. Fairy Tail: The large foreheads and exaggerated/goofy facial expressions really bothered me when I first started reading it |

| Definitely JoJo Araki's art just gets better with each part. His art is literally GODLIKE in the currently serializing Part 8: JoJolion. This man is a beast! Example: My signature is from one of the volume covers! Obviously it is it cropped, also the colors are switched around a little bit. I'll put the original below I wont include more for the sake of brevity, but I implore you to look up more images from JoJolion |

The change in art is amazing. As for Fairy Tail, I always thought the early chapters looked a lot like the artwork from One Piece. For me, personally, one of the best parts of reading long-running manga is the seeing how the artist's work gets better over time. I can't really recall any manga where the art got noticeably worse, or at least I never noticed it. One example is Takehiko Inoue for Slam Dunk A panel from Chapter 29 A panel from the last chapter, Chapter 276 |

But WOW that Slam Dunk art improvement is amazing! I was just recently thinking of reading it, that's definitely got me motivated to start sooner than later xD |

| Slam Dunk's glow-up is one of the best I'll remember always. Soul Eater always had a great sense of style, but the character designs improved a lot since the beginning. Then got a bit worse over halfway in, but still way better than they were initially, I guess. KareKano's designs got better and more suited to the darker tone in the later parts of the manga. Jiraishin from Takahashi Tsutomu got way better since the beginning. I know it since I peeked at the later parts and welp, from just reading his later works, since I postponed finishing due to its episodic stories being iffy as hell lol. I'll give it to ya that Naruto was more expressive and detailed, but Bleach didn't take that much of a hit with the characters for how much better the designs got to look from it. Nana got worse. It's like everybody took a diet and got more twiggy out of it. The faces and the expressions on close-ups took a hit and they were used in its drama like that, too. I know there's good reason for it, but it is worse imo. |
