for me i love this type of rough art because it embodies this type of modern relatable art
I don't really understand what you mean, I've never heard of the term "relatable art" before. I'm glad you enjoy it, though!

this is what i meant tho but yeah idk but i have a rec for you its called hate mate, one of my favorites, art is similar but the coloring is absolutely astounding
Though I can't read the article due to it requiring a subscription, I can infer my own definition.
In my eyes, the art for this manhwa isn't relatable. I don't feel a sense of connection when looking at it. I honestly find it pretty mediocre. It has simple colors and not much attention to detail which makes it easier to digest. The slight anatomical errors and small details that can be easily fixed with a quick redraw kinda tipped me over the edge.
I've never heard of hate mate before. If the art is similar to this then I don't think I'd particularly enjoy it.
Also, I know I couldn't read the article, but I don't think it was specifically talking about the art that one draws and was speaking more of consumable media based off the title alone. When I imagine "relatable art" I picture those simplistic digitally drawn images to make the viewer go "OMG XD this is so me!" haha.
oh haha thats not what i wanted to convey
i don't think art is a medium that everyone can interpret the same way its probably our differing perspectives influenced our perception on this manhwa. i personally love the slice of life genre, opening the gates to a fictional world where reality is not influential. the simple colors reflect the universe it is set in, everything is peaceful not chaotic like ours. as for the anatomy of the characters it seems to me that everything is simple and there's no need for any type of detail, to distract the reader from what the manhwa is trying to be. just another reality that we could be, but isn't.
this one quote from the article seems to resonate with me,
"that the work itself be somehow accommodating to, or reflective of, the experience of the reader or viewer. The reader or viewer remains passive in the face of the book or movie or play: she expects the work to be done for her.”"
maybe this manhwa is so appealing to me is a reflection of my desires and wants.
Dropped at chapter 7. The story just felt so bland, turning to the next chapter honestly felt like a chore. Also, I'm not that big of a fan of the art, the lips are super strange to me haha. I also really didn't like the choice of text bubbles... It just kept making me think they were using sign language (I just got done re-reading Sign haha). I was a little disappointed, with how the comments were raving about this. No worries if you like this, though, we all have differing opinions ^^.
