@youdontknowwho You bet I'm going to try. Excluding manga with a simpler art style (like
Shimeji Simulation) or with a style that's purposefully sketchy (
Miss Bernard Said.), I'd say the manga with the second-worst art I've seen here is
Children, especially in its first chapters: and would you believe it? That's
1,000 times better than this one! The faces are ugly and the style is generally very unpleasant, but you can see it was still made by someone who knows how to draw a manga. I could say
"Man, I would rather read any other manga than this one", but at least I'd admit that the author has the required knowledge to do his job properly (even if I really don't like his style).
But this... this is just unacceptable. There's a clear line that separates a good manga style from plain amateurish material that you can find on deviantART, and this is just very obviously below that line. Just like there's a line between something that's so bad it's funny, and something that's so bad you start wondering why they even have that job at all. You can't look at something like this, and not feel angry about all the people who'd deserve a spot in this magazine much more than this guy—that is, everyone who knows how to hold a pencil in their hand and has drawn at least one manga in their life.
So far, the best I could do was having two one-shots published by a magazine called 宇宙人・巨女, but it's a Comiket fanzine so, while not exactly being something run by an otaku from his basement, it's certainly closer to being that than a legitimate magazine. So thank you a lot for the email address and the link to their Twitter profile, because I'm definitely going to send them something. If this guy could do it, why can't I?
