How lazy is too lazy when it comes to manga...

How lazy is too lazy when it comes to manga? Can you create a series that consists entirely of photographs and clipart slapped together in photoshop and still properly call it a "manga"?

Someone post the page.

I love how fucking lazy he is and how he's getting away with it.

Gigant is kind of based honestly. Who cares if it’s lazy or not, it still looks fine more or less.

If the composition is good, why not. Photography is respectable, manga is respectable. Each require skill. Combining the two isn’t to my taste but I don’t think its bad or anything.

I really liked this manga at first but now it legitimately pisses me off. Not because the story isn't going anywhere, but because it reminds me I'll never get to make my JAVfu my gf and give her a baby.

I hate Oku's "art" but at the same time any complaint about laziness is completely invalidated when it's a fucking Zig Forumsnon criticizing a successful manga who's been publishing for decades. Don't throw stones in the glasshouse, user.

Personally I prefer hand drawn backgrounds and props but at the end of the day the output required for manga is hellish and, realistically speaking, concessions need to be made. At the end of the day the story is what's most important, shortcuts in the artwork is acceptable if it means the work gets finished. This is something that is learnt sooner or later when you actually try to make any kind of comic in any reasonable span of time.

>noo you're not allowed to criticize unless you're also an accomplished manga artist
This is always the dumbest fucking argument in the world.

You're not allowed to complain that someone actively making and releasing work after work is "lazy". Being a successful mangaka is pretty much a fucking badge that proves that they're NOT lazy.
The fact that it's coming from some fat retard wasting his time on Zig Forums makes the argument hypocritical as well as ignorant.

>Being a successful mangaka is pretty much a fucking badge that proves that they're NOT lazy.
Not him, but that's like saying that Among Us is a good game just because it's currently popular.

Does that mean I can complain about Togashi being lazy since he's not actively making and releasing work?

Apples and oranges. It's not the fact that the work is successful that disproves the laziness, it's the fact that it got made in the first place, and that the road to ANY mangaka's success is paved with failures. People shitting on something that can only be attained via hard work just because the art is ugly (and I agree Oku's works look like fucking ASS) disgusts me on a base level.

Yeah sure, so long as you're doing so fully aware of the two decades he spent drawing weekly manga before that.

>You're not allowed to complain
Yes, I am allowed to complain. I'm allowed to complain about anything I want, and there's nothing you can do about it, you stupid fuck.

Who the fuck cares?

This manga looks like shit warmed over and there's zero talent behind it. The fact that he gets a paycheck doesn't change that at all. People get paychecks for scraping the shit out of toilets too, doesn't mean there's any artistic merit in it.

Why the fuck do you care about artistic merit and why does it matter to literally anybody?

Why are you getting so upset about people criticizing it?
>1. It's shit.
>2. People say it's shit
>3. NOOO YOU CAN'T DO THAT YOU CAN'T INSULT GRORIOUS MANGAKA-SAMA

But there is something I can do about it, and that's to let you know that you're a dumb fucking retard complaining that an author is saving himself a few hours of work by using photos instead of drawing the BGs himself. And so I will do that, you spastic cunt.

That has nothing to do with what I'm saying. Making a manga, no matter how shitty you think it is, takes a fuckload of time and effort. The shittiest gayest piece of trash took considerable time and effort to create, no matter how awful the writing or the art was. It's not cute when people can't even comprehend the idea that making stuff is hard regardless of how it turns out.

But if I were making an manga and complained about someone else's, you'd say that I'm just jealous about his success?
Either way, you don't have to make shit so that you could criticize other's shit.
have more (you)s

>But there is something I can do about it
Nah not really. Post filtered.

This manga is the shittiest looking thing I've ever seen. What a fucking hack.

I'm not the faggot you were originally responding to.
Why are you getting so upset about fucking picture books you retard?
>It's shit.
>I'm going to tell people it's shit.
>Other people tell me they don't care if it's shit.
>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I'M READING SOMETHING I DON'T LIKE I HAVE TO POST ON 4CHANNEL ABOUT THIS WHAT DO YOU MEAN NOBODY CARES ABOUT MY OPINION?

>seething this hard
>all because your favorite shit tier trash manga was criticized
lol

Oku is a troll who just shows his middle finger to the readers trying to see how far he can push it before retards would finally realise something is not right.

>Either way, you don't have to make shit so that you could criticize other's shit.
My point is that the complaint is nonsensical because it betrays a total ignorance to the subject being criticized. It's not like the author is taking an hour out of his week to paste a few photos for his weekly output then jerking off for the rest of the week, yet the laziness complaint seems to assume that.

The manga IS shitty, we never disagreed faggot. Try reading the words instead of pretending I'm your strawman.

Art is the least of this manga's problems. The MC's crybaby tantrum until she dated him was disgusting and the plot's a mess.

>seething this hard
>all because you read some fucking trash manga
4channel is not your blog

don't think too hard about how the art was made, as long as you like it and it isn't disruptive

Filtered photos are always disruptive unless you're blind.

But you still a lot of job. Even if you use photos.

>But you still do a lot
fixed

not anymore disruptive than inconsistencies in art style and terrible anatomy

>inconsistencies in art style
That's what filtered photos cause
>terrible anatomy
OP's image has both terrible anatomy and filtered photos. I don't see the point of your post. You just threw out a couple more things that can be distracting about a manga's art, but it's not like any of the three rule out the others. Sure, if your backgrounds are filtered photos you can probably put more work into what you do draw (which seems like what Oyasumi Punpun's manga does) but more often than not your well drawn characters look like they're in front of a green screen.
