wasn't one of Double Taisei's recent author comments about how he drew that chapter traditionally for the first time in a while? If so that probably means it is (usually) digital.

MHA switches between the two. Hori states that he uses Photoshop from time to time and the majority of the color pages were done digitally until 2017 when he switched to analog.

It is generally possible to guess by the way the art looks.

Act-Age's art being the "modern" style makes a fair amount of sense considering Uzuzaki's age. Girl was only 19 when the series begun.

True, digital is often cleaner.

With JJK and CSM, you can tell their mangaka are doing it analog.

Digital looks like anime art, in short. XD

Yozakura is probably digital.

Yet ironically the WNL anime looks basically nothing like the manga, go figure.

Also a lot of digital output don't look nearly as good as analog. Hori's digital art was terrible up until a few years ago but then he switch to analog after the Fantasy AU spread which looked fantastic. OPs digital coloring also looks pretty bad but that may be because Oda doesn't do them same with Kimetsu's digital color.

Speaking of anime art, didn't Boichi say he was going to change his art in Dr. Stone to more match the anime?

I think he was referring to toning down on the, ahem, "porn faces" that some times showed up.

Ah, yeah. He does tend to do that.

They did a very bad job then, not that it is easy to copy the style of a professional artist.

Oh yeah his digital art is also kinda meh. The way he uses color makes everything looks like plastic.

I completely agree. It does seem like analog is becoming less prevalent nowadays.

Eiichiro Oda doing digital art? When did this happen? I can't even imagine this, Oda is from the old days, I can see him drawing in a piece of parchment than in a tablet. XD

He uses brush instead of pen, IIRC. Slam Dunk's mangaka did the same with Vagabond.

Probably one of Posuka's TPN pages.
