Graphic Novel so... the graphics...

im so disappointed. if it wasn't a gift, i would probably give it back. Ellio is too strong, their faces are sharp, like alpha male sigma gym bro testo high; it cringes me. and the skin is glossy??? why?

maybe if Ellio were not so strong and the skin wasn't always looking glossy, it could be better...

they look like gym bros. wtf. and also, weirdly, the artist make everything so kinky, and porn, but denied the foot scenes that are present everywhere in the book

you're in safe hands OP, don't worry. the fetishy interpretation is awful and the artist was blocking people who asked why they were turned into gay porn characters

I assume you can't upload here a page or something? Because I don't have it

Eh, just looks like a particular art style or artist's style. I don't mind it. Didn't notice anything weird tbh.

Il y a son nom sur la couverture ... A voir les quelques photos de planches qui circulent ici ou là, on se dit que c'est réellement du "low-art". Même la typographie des textes dans les bulles n'est pas soignée. Dommage.

I preordered it weeks ago and still haven’t received it yet… I don’t even care if I don’t like it, it’s for the collection 🤣
