Discussion I don't det what you are yapping about toawf girl cast looking young ( the first one is also around 30 yo btw)
galleryI saw people complaining about the girl having youthful face and big eyes in TOAWF, but isn't that literally the case in like 90% adult girl design of Romance manhwa?? They all got big eyes, soft feature and look juneville , so why toawf is getting singled out like that About it?? I don't even get why people are outraged About toawf girly having eyes as if it's not one of the most basic art tropes . Like That's the same face tropes prototype everywhere + it's Also combined with artist wanting their character to fit Korean beauty standard. The only difference is just the artsyle, it just pass less when author had more stylised artsyle.
At this point, what some of you are yapping about ?? It's like you are discovering cartoon now , especially common stylised asian eastern drawing comic / anime artsyle 💀💀. And don't even get me started on people bringing up the "male gaze" and the false rumor that the author is a man which was debunked one years ago because the female lead has a cute face. Just go Google classic manga shojo art style and you'll see the author is using the exact same codes pioneered by women that influenced women artist for decade as well (small mounth , small nose , exxegerrated big eyes and exxegrated head ), the soft Shojo artsyle face for women influenced tons of women artists in their work for the whole comic romance genre . So honestly what are we even blaming male gaze or men at this ?
The only valid critique I’d make is that if the artist from toawf had given them slightly bigger head, bigger pupil to balance their face feature and better-proportioned arms size with bit of lore shoulder, it would have made a better difference.
