His designs for women, neck down, are boring.I must be one of the rare few who actually likes Ikemoto's design for Mirai. She looks more feminine (whereas with Kishi's her gender looks ambiguous).
In general, I actually like some of Ikemoto's designs. I personally prefer his designs for Shikadai, Chouchou and Mirai. This may also be controversial, but I do like his Sarada design, but his Sarada design is better executed in the anime. In the manga, it just looks too short. Now, I do believe that Sarada's outfit (Ikemoto's) isn't really fit for a ninja or a 12 - 14 year old, but aesthetically I still like the anime version of it.
In the manga she just reminds me of Bayonetta.
He's so afraid to draw some breasts or some hips, or show some skin on adult women. The f*ck, but wants to over expose a 12 year old. I'm not sure what's going on here.
