This isn't your "typical manga style" It's very unique and really fun to look at. While it might not be everyone's cup of tea, it does

The premise is that an understanding of human anatomy is key to good character design, and essential for drawing attire. Characters sport trendy, but not otherworldly, outfits. The author's approach is that with a few variations on the standard figure, you can make your character design "mangalike."
