I remember liking it when I first read it. The art looked good for when it came out and with what else was being released around the same time, but it does look older now when I go back to reread it. I also just genuinely really like the artist who is doing the sequel here. I wish stuff was listed under all the names all the time, because this one has the original story author it’s listed under but then also the author for the manhwa and the artist for the manhwa. And I would really like to see if this artists has done other work
I think the art style for KML Works For the time at when it was released. Is it as clean and updated as KMIYC...No. Just that it's artstyle worked for the series at that time.
at the time I didn't think it was a bad art style either, except the seme (I always thought he was ugly)
if you did like you could use mangaupdates (they have the artist twitter linked and their other work here is "I Became the Tyrant's Secretary")
I actually liked their final iteration. They had distinct looks. I thought Keith looked delicious and commanding. From this artist, I know Keith isn't the main but he looked like just everybody else, as well as Yeonwoo. In their novel, Yeonwoo was described as an east asian beauty, keith's type
The art is nice for both. I honestly think the two different art styles really suit each of the main couples. Because in kiss me liar, Josh looks okay. But here, he looks sooo good. In this story’s art style, the main couple from kiss me liar, doesn’t look good in my opinion. They both look way too soft here. The omega from kiss me liar looks too much like a soft-spoken delicate omega, and Keith doesn’t look intimidating whatsoever. I wouldn’t believe their image matched their personalities if this art style was used for kiss me liar.
I also liked their final iteration in their story. I do like how Kieth looks drawn by this artist, but I was kind of surprised that I actually didn’t like how Yeonwoo looked here. Idk what it is but his face is weird to me in this one lol
Liiiisten. Josh is SO fucking good here. If Chase doesn’t want him…
But also I think you accidentally made a good point. I doubt it was the two artists’ intentions but each of them having the couple from the other story drawn softer or less poignantly takes the spotlight off them, right? It’s not their story in the opposing manhwa so they aren’t as tantalizing as that story’s main couple
You’re so right! Usually when the artist makes the new main characters in a spin off look real good, the same is applied to side characters and cameos of the og main couple from the same universe. I think it’s rare that an artist makes it look like the main characters from the og plot look just like background characters (mid). But then again, it could just be because in most spin off stories, it’s usually drawn by the same artist who did the first story. So that’s probably why the cameos will never look like background characters in that case.
wish that's how "kiss me liar" was drawn cos they were highkey ugly ಥ‿ಥ
