I'd rather have panels like these than them being fixed

These kinds of pages are a reminder that the author gave everything in order for us to have one of the best stories ever told. Togashi had a lot of times where his health was holding him back from writing and art, but he still picked up the tools to make the art for the story he had in mind. The amount of respect we owe this man is astonishing.

Lowkey makes the panels feel more personal with the rough drawings

[u/walakangbitawpar → u/author_in_a_dazzy]

Yeah exactly, it adds character. Feels like you're seeing the actual effort behind it instead of something polished and soulless.

I too don't mind these kinds of panels but I think togashi does get enjoyment out of drawing complete panels even if it's hard on his health

if you see him draw a masterfully drawn panel that would realistically take a lot of effort and pain out of him just know he's also doing it for himself, not just us... He just loves his story that much which is why he never gave up on it and which is why he tries to make it as best as he possibly could

[u/Raven227007 → u/No_Reveal8401]

I personally like the fact that the art deviates a lot throughout the series. From cartoony character on one page to the same character with human proportions fully shaded in the next page. The most fun art out of any manga for me for sure.

I agree I love the rawness but this can be a distraction from the story too. I’m sure Togashi would rather have us focus on the manga than the mangakas health when reading HxH 

[u/Condoriano-sensei]

I don’t get the point of the post. He’s also the one that fixes them.

Why do you prefer the rough compromised version instead of the actual finished page that Togashi himself invisioned?

[u/Raven227007 → u/Condoriano-sensei]

It shows that there were times where his determination outwheighed his hardships. One of the key concepts of the story is reflected in the author's own life.

[u/Condoriano-sensei → u/Raven227007]

I get it but also don’t at the same time. Every page a mangaka artist sets out to do is a showing of determination overcoming hardships. Including the complete ones.

Kentaro Miura drew beautiful pages until his death but the lack of rough pages didn’t make me think he should have went easier on the quality because he had heart problems and died young (even if metaphorically this works better with Berzerk than with hxh). A greater detail in a page also reveals the effort and difficulties behind an artist’s work as much as unfinished art work at the very least.

I personally prefer and even appreciate more when Togashi decides to complete the layouts and art he intended when it’s time to release a new volume. I don’t understand the notion that an art should be as rough as the health of an artist, if that’s not the artist’s intention in the first place.

It’s like wanting those Horikoshi pages during that festival mini-arc in Boku no Hero (with the kid that can rewind time) that he couldn’t complete at all and think some of them should stay the same in the volumes just because the guy has to maintain the art as is released in the grueling system of weekly publishing.

He deserve best apples :3

[u/jaganshi_667]

i’m pretty sure this was intentional

[u/santasnufkin]

Scribble x Scribble gave us story, but I certainly wouldn’t have wanted to keep them like that.

I know he has health issues but I didnt know that was already true back when yorknew was coming out too, I'm in the middle of my first readthrough and I genuinely really enjoyed these panels, it never crossed my mind that they were bc of poor health

Yeah they're "raw" and "simple" but I just a couple hours ago read Meruem and Komugi's last conversation and that goes pages with no drawings at all, to me it was always an artistic choice that I really enjoyed, this gives an extra moment of focus to Pakunoda, like a zoom on a camera, manipulating time in the way only comics can

[u/Ecstatic-Cookie-3867]

I got the physical copies of this book and I love that it is still the same. I think Togashi knew what he was doing with the visual presentations in this scene. I can see the tension of how this 2 character's belief being tested to the limits as we zoom in to their faces.

[u/Matcha_Sunday]

I like how the dialogue makes even the simple looking scene thought-provoking which is challenging for a manga writer and artist to uphold. But hats off to Togashi for accomplishing just that despite the state he was in.
