Post manga pages/panels with god-tier drawn faces

Basically anything by Asano
Nicholas Thompson
Luke Green
I've never liked Asano faces. I don't know what it is but I've always found them annoying.
Tyler Garcia
What's your favorite sameface?
Julian Morris
pretty much every panel from onani master kurosawa
Jackson Rogers
Those ears are way way too low on her face, looks jarring
William Thompson
Bottom panel. Disbelief and pain.
Hudson Myers
What do you mean by "god-tier"?
Jaxon Stewart
In my experience it is not about realism but emotion portrayed within the panel and relevance to the style that is used that creates the greatest amount of emotion. "god-tier" seems hard to quantify unless you are speaking about realism in which case this thread would pretty much just be showcasing crime and sports manga.
Lucas Wilson
It gets much more complicated when the face is non-human as well, realism cannot always be used as a standard.

Can't top the GOAT.
What is this, Benkei In New York? Masanori Morita did a one shot after he worked under Tetsuo Hara on FotNS and remaked by Hara and Jiro Taniguchi influenced his artwork a lot at the time.
Lucas Hall
Aiden Wright
So handsome. Reminds me of Elvis, honestly.
Jayden Morales
Juan Martinez
Leo Ross
You can't tell me this isn't actually Elvis.
Jayden Hall
There's definitely a resemblance. I wouldn't be surprised if Elvis served as the template for him. One notable difference is that Elvis still has a stronger hairline, though.
Jaxson Hill
you guys know a lot of these are done digitally right? a lot of mangaka like to say they do all humans by hand and only the backgrounds digitally but the temptation is just too much. if they have assistants and the faces look TOO good, then odds are they have had some type of digital support. not that theres anyting wrong with that but yknow. yknow.

Elvis is 100% the main reason why juvenile delinquents in Japan looked the way they did.
Onizuka (on the left) was based on Billy Idol though.

Honst question: why delinquent manga became a thing in the 90's?

best ending ever .

Despite this being drawn weekly, it's easily Inoue-tier imo
Zachary Walker
It's already been posted in this thread, but I've been doing my yearly re-read of Vagabond and I've been using Inoue's art both as reference and inspiration to improve my own work. His crosshatching is top tier.

Please elaborate on what you mean by "digital support". You make it sound like computers are magic that make you draw better.
Andrew Perez
i bet he means straight up tracing the faces
Oliver Sanchez
Because they were really good. They are often about over the top manliness and brotherhood and straight up fist fighting and wrestling without any bullshit battle shounen wizard powers. What's not to like. They werepopular in the 80s and 90s with the biggest series being either comedy/gag manga, fighting manga or a combination of the two. Even though there aren't many now there usually are old school delinquent/yankii type characters in things every now and then.
Adrian Collins
I want to know the context. What inspired the rise of this trend in the 90's.
Andrew Lee
It's a protest kind of thing. These characters were living the way and doing things that real youth couldn't, shackled by the society and all that. It coincided with teh birts of the Japanese economic bubble, which hit hard especially on the youth. The manly action movie aesthetic was also at its peak back then, which gave all that protest substance an immaculate style.
Isaac Davis
Partly what this guy said . In terms of where the whole aesthetic came from, it was Americans in the post war phase introducing Rockabilly to Japan, hence all the Elvis similarities. Juvenile delinquency and bosozoku (biker gangs) were considered a "serious" problem in the 70s and 80s but also seemed like quite a cool life style, hence delinquent manga started to become popular. When the authorities madea sincere effort to clamp down on bosozoku and delinquency and there was less of it around, the trend started dying off. So I would say it's due to manga following popular societal trends, which has kind of always been the way to some extent.
Oliver Gomez
Cool. Thank you, guys.
Jonathan Brooks
I've been reading RED and Hakuba no Oujisama since they are getting updated daily, Nanba MG5 aswell but it hasn't updated in a while
Justin Cruz
You are me, I am reading all three of those and liking Red the most. Every chapter of it so far has been good and has had at least one great page like that one.
Jordan Diaz
I always fucked with toriyama when he took shit a little serious.
Tyler Young
I'm suprised at how unknown these series were before they got picked up, they're each over 100 chapter and I haven't seen a single mention of them in untranslated manga threads and only knew the existance of Red before it got picked up
Joshua Taylor
Justin Young
I only heard about Red when the scans restarted. I can't believe how good it is. If it stays this way for all 19 volumes, which I doubt because it's simply too entertaining to possibly keep it up for that long, it's going to go straight into my top 10 manga list.
The artwork also is fucking great.

Gotta be this one.

The art is really good but characters and the story are just fine. im starting to understand why its not that popular.

Is Masanori Morita retired now? I nknow he finished his Manga about the stand up comedians.
Nolan Cook
Most series that never got an anime might as well not exist in most people's eyes, especially so if they weren't published in a shounen magazine. We're just lucky RED got released in languages besides English.
Xavier Sullivan
I hope one day there is a resurgence of Delinquent animes and manga
