Is it just me or is chainsaw manga art style very poor like very very poor
I'm not a big fan of manga but I just decided to try and check out the manga of CSM since I saw a colored version and even with it being colored trying to make out what's going especially in fight scenes panels is super hard

It's just you. Fujimoto has his own art style and you probably just didn't happen to like it. And don't forget that he also improves.

I mean we got awesome panels like this: (spoiler for the next anime arc)


Hard to say this is bad

for me it was one of the easiest fight scenes to understand, his panelling is exceptional, works like boku no hero are imo so hard to understand fights in

I guess it really is just me
but take a look at this manga panel, in my honest opinion this is bad drawing or maybe it's just the colored version that's at fault and the black and white might look better

I don’t see any issue with the art here and it looks good honestly. It’s not the greatest art, and there are definitely better panels in the manga, but it’s not that bad. You might just not like it due to the coloring, and it fits a lot better in its original black and white version.

The rough artwork is to the story’s benefit as it represents the chaotic and fast paced nature of Chainsaw Man. I don’t know exactly what you’d have for comparison but this is kind of artwork is pretty common in manga with giving weight and motion to the blows. Plus this was released in a weekly manga, and I haven’t read too many webtoons, but I think their release schedules are usually more lax in comparison to the heavy workload of a mangaka.

Tbh it depends on the reader as well. Some people who like the manga in general will defend it by saying that its just Fujimoto's style. Personally I dont feel like its that great either but its not bad as well.
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.

i don't really have much knowledge in this field just to clarify but that I am saying is that manga to me is like a plan that's not fully set in motion because not every thing in the manga is in the anime and visa versa, soo some artists out extra effort in their manga work while others out together something that's not the best but does the same planning process structure base of the anime, the final product chainsaw man was good and shows that 3D is taking over rhe anime industry

That’s a fair argument. I do think it’s a matter of subjectivity since the paneling and framing are well thought out. But the rough sketch like quality of the art can be a turn off from Jump’s usual clean and crisp artwork.

I’m sorry but that just isn’t the case when a Mangaka is writing their manga they may want an anime adaptation but as previously stated they are looking for it to boost their volume sales they don’t write it with the specific intention of getting one. When it comes to the production most Mangaka aren’t actually involved in the making process they may be asked about a couple things but most aren’t actually involved.

You also have Mangaka like Ino Asano who have been on record saying that they don’t want their stories to be adapted into anime and on some cases even write stories that are hard to adapt for this reason.

A comparison for this in the west would be saying that a author only writes a book or a comic in the hopes they get a tv show or movie made with it. That may be the case for some but for the vast majority it isn’t the case they are making something they love in the medium the love and that’s it. If it gets picked up by some other form of media then great but it’s not the be all and end all.

It's maybe 6.5-7. There are a couple cool double page spreads but the character models in general are pretty plain looking.

If you want bad then take a look at Demon Slayer. Subpar art that looks like it was drawn in the 90s. 5/10 art. Only UFOTable elevated it to best selling manga.

If you find that the fight scene of csm are messy while it's easy top 10 best manga of these last 10 years then your tastes are just null you can not like messy dynamic fight but it's clearly not the case in csm the manga is 10 times better than the anime

I don't buy the "it's his style" excuse. CSM manga's art is pretty weak for a professional product. You can tell it's still a pro, but it's kinda bad.
Shaky lines, always the same expressions, a lot of characters look-alike, and at some point I was just like "I don't care who is who".

The doodle-like panels with lots of details are not that impressive. They're just... doodles. The only memorable composition is the one with the astronauts.

The sequential art is surprisingly poor for a published manga, and hard to understand. As if multiple characters looking the same was not confusing enough.

Sorry, no offense, but it looks ridiculously bad compared to a manga like Tongari Boushi no Atelier

You can call it ‘his own art style’ all you want - it still is very scribbled and messy. I’ve read the manga before the anime and it was hard for me to stay focused.

It’s only you, but that’s a given since you know nothing about manga.

Fujimoto’s art is actually one of the best in the manga industry and his paneling is unparalleled. He’s such an important figure that 3 of his assistants went off to make some bug manga, Dandadan’s, Spy x Family’s and Hell’s Paradise’s mangakas were all his assistants.

This actually makes sense coming from a person who liked Akame which is equivalent to diluted piss in terms of anime. Get a CT scan to find out if there's something dysfunctional about either your eyes or brain.

thats just you, theres manga like berserk that are really detailed with just about every panel being a work of art on its own but most manga aren't like that.
