I find it surprising how many people rate this series so highly. I guess it is an acquired taste. I’m not usually one to judge a manga or anime on the artwork or to let it get in the way of reading it but personally, I cannot stand Tarako Kotobuki’s drawing style. I don’t even like the look of any of her characters. I don’t expect them to be all pretty-pretty but to me they just look odd. Not only because they inhabit a world where hands and feet can be twice the size of your entire head. Most of the time it’s not astylistic choice, it’s just lazy. The lack of detail is disappointing, even with a simplistic drawing style. There are certain panels that are drawn marginally well so Kotobuki proves that she does have the ability.
