Character Design?, The manga versus the anime Options

[Itena]

At first, I was extremely taken aback at the difference of Hikaru's character design (the hair really hit me. I tend to look at hair first since I live with a hairdresser of 25 years experience, otherwise known as my mother ) when I read the manga for the first time (no I'm still not done the manga, I need to buy the 2nd volume). Personally, I prefer the manga Hikaru, most people would, I think. But you know, buy the time I bought the manga; I had already been attached to the anime Hikaru. The manga's design was beautiful, and it was the original, but it almost seemed foreign to me. Like some kind of fanart. o_O;

What do you guys think?

Oh yes, Arina Tanemura is one of my favourite manga-ka! Though I think she needs to work a bit on the differences in faces, they all look the same. I know anime is generally like that; but even me, a long-time otaku, sometimes got confused.

Ah yes, that picture is a good start if you don't practice a lot.

If you haven't noticed yet, my signature's banner was drawn by me.

Here's the full piccy ^^



Gah! Taking a second look at it, I see all these mistakes! Oh the Humanity!
