My Hero Academia by Yuuki Tabata:

[RafaFedKilla]

Uraraka looks like big forehead Noelle.

My Hero Academia by Yuuki Tabata:

Yuck. Deku looks like your disgusting generic MC. Todoroki is Yuuno, Bakugou is one of the many despair villains, and Uraraka has to be one of the most ugly female characters ever...

 

[Nakura]

I honestly don't think Bakugou and Izuku look too bad. Todoroki definitely just looks like Yuno with a wig, that's fine though. My god though, Uraraka looks terrible

 

[TyVip]

The same face syndrome is real .

 

[TM2]

I don't think any of the boys look too bad. Though I can still see similar facial structure between the characters. They are still recognizable even with the different style. Though if I didn't know it was supposed to be Uraraka on the right I would've assumed that it was a different character.

Todoroki looks like Yuno with wig.

 

[Leoat12]

I'm traumatized forever... The only thing worse than Uraraka was Erina drawn by Isobe author, man...
You can find much better drawings in Pixiv.

I honestly don't think the MHA cover is bad at all. Even Uraraka. It's just a matter of whether you like his art style or not

Two Samon things. Maybe it wont be ending soon then? Otherwise thered be no reason for it.

Also, the interview between Matsui and Kubo should nice.

I read yesterday the first 8 chapters of Kimetsu no Yaiba and I don't know if it's pace is too fast or too slow. I wanted to see more of the final selection, or the training in the misty mountain, but at the same time, it doesn't happen much in this first volume.

 

[Mawara]

I honestly don't think the MHA cover is bad at all. Even Uraraka. It's just a matter of whether you like his art style or not

The style of Horikoshi's female characters don't translate well into other mangakas style. Horikoshi has a cast of women in his manga, who have a diverse range of designs. It seems like it, as if Tabata is one of the mangaka who have problems designing women, meaning, he is probably at his limits, when re-creating them in his own style. I guess, the only reason he chose Uraraka was because she looks rather normal compared to characters like Tsuyu or Jirou.
Overall, I wouldnt blame Tabata style for this, especially, because the intention of this whole thing was to re-create the others maincharacters with his own style, and not to copy-paste them. In the end, I would rather praise Horikoshi in this case.

 

[Doughboy]

Yeah I agree with what Mawara said. Deku and the dudes look fine, Ochako looks terrible though

 

[shoyoboyo]

Wow, Deku came out better than I expected, even kept the roundness in his eyes. That Todoroki and Bakugo though... Well it's pretty much like I expected. Ochako is still terrible though.

 

[Mammo]

Ochako looks like Noelle's cousin whatever her name was

Kung Fu Master dude just changed the name of his oneshot and called it a new oneshot

 

[iceemperor]

The 2016 yearly franchises sales rankings were released.

One piece is back on top from its #2 place in 2015. Haikyuu is in the top 5 at number 5 and Assclass is in at #8. Heroaca is in at #19 behind Taizai by a slight margin (just like the yearly comic rankings). The second column shows the total revenue in millions of yen.

 

[Scruffy8642]

Damn Kingdom is so high. Really needs a new anime.

I agree with that, Horikoshi is indeed the best in designing girls in Jump right now, closely followed by Saeki Shun.
