Kurapika, Alluka, Kalluto, Pitou, and etc are all males but take on the appearances of females. Is there a reason togashi is doing this or is it just a fad he's into.
That can be trueI heard somewhere that Togashi likes messing with gender ambiguity. I mean, you can see it in YYH too where a lot of people thought Kurama was a girl (even in the manga itself).
I think Kikyo is upset she doesn't have any girls, so she dresses Kalluto like one. And I don't think even the Zoldycks know what Alluka's gender is (maybe it doesn't have one).
Yeah, it does sound like something Kikyo would do...That can be true
lol, I agree. maybe he does it for a reason, but then again maybe he just wants to.Because Togashi draws them that way.
Why does he draw them that way?
Because he wants to.
Nah, he was like this from early on, way before he met Takeuchi. Before he started YYH in the early 90s, Togashi tried to pitch a new series to Jump about a girly looking boy who's a cross dresser, he got shot down by the editors. After YYH got big, he managed to sneak in this trope in YYH (this one chapter where he had Yusuke dressed up as a girl to investigate a crime in an All-girl school). Really, 'boy looks like a girl' trope was not as common in shounen manga back then, but it's a very VERY common trope in shoujo manga since the 70s. It's not a fad, not Naokos' influence, just lots of people find tropes like this fun to write/read about.Maybe because NAOKO TAKEUCHI is the one who draw the others characters
I LOVE Togashi's art, his drawings is effortless, dynamic and fluid.What do you guys think of the overall art of HxH ? I personally enjoy it. Togashi's expressions are AMAZING and so is his shading. I'm asking because in a YouTube video people were saying that Togashi's art is the worst art of all time O.o Example
"yuyu art is mediocre for shonen standards , i can name countless shonens that have better art then yuyu ( one piece being oneof them ) and hxh art is shit , i don't even know how can you argue that its better since its probably has the shittest art in shonen to this day , old shonen that came out in 1930's or something has better art then hxh...."
