Do u think Ikemoto is improving in art and proportions of the characters? Because i still think he's bad...very bad....

If so show me proof of him improving

It’s a lil cleaner, some of his newer characters look better(like the inuzaka chick) but overall his proportions(mainly for the kids) is still utter shit

Ikemoto can draw like kishi or to a high standard if he chooses. I think he does the art for the novels where it's pretty clean. My guess is with this drawing style is his own and designed to appeal to a specific audience. Who? I can't say for sure unless Ike makes it clear.

OT: I don't think he's at a level acceptable for me.

His style hasn' t improved, but at least he doesn' t do those kinds of awfull mistakes anymore:

Forgetting to finish the draw (Denki's pant), is very unprofessionnal.

Nice nitpick.

I actually think Ikemoto downgraded for Boruto. It shows his clear lack of motivation.

His past covers and draws for Naruto Manga were awesome to be honest.

He still needs to work on perfecting the anatomy. Sometimes it's just too grotesque but he's definitely improving nonetheless, albeit at a gruesomely very slow pace, which is why this manga is suffering, over the unignorable sexualization aspect.

From bad to worst.

He ruined a really good thing and made it about *** appeal.

They were better. Things now are just terrible, except for his version of Momoshiki. Sumire is awful and Kawaki looks terrible..

Kawaki was drawn in the first chapter i guess he may look better now. I'm positive since he drew jigen in a decent way
