| Boruto in its new character designs |
If you are a Boruto fan, you are definitely aware of another new Boruto manga known as Boruto Two Blue Vortex and fans are so excited the new character designs for the manga.
There was a thread on Twitter/X that says Kishimoto draws better than Ikemoto or vice versa. It is understandable that we have preferences when it comes to art styles however the argument about who is the better illustrator is unnecessary. It seems that some fans make a discussion from this for entertainment which it creates some unhealthy conversations on some fans.
Why did I say that? Because on one of the sources that I read Kishimoto actually let Ikemoto take in charge when it comes to illustrations and that means he have that respect to Ikemoto in terms of artistic expression through the art style. He has given Ikemoto the creative authority and I think whatever Ikemoto put on the table we must accept it and have an open mind. We come for entertainment and those artists are providing it for us.
So as fans, while some of us take criticism of Ikemoto's art style I do feel that we need to understand the purpose why artist drew them that way for example Sarada in this Two Vortex manga, she may look like a prostitute as being seen by some fans but in Japan some teenagers dress like that and they tend to experiment on their style so Sarada's style is no big deal and on the story her role is not about prostitute but a normal teenager that understands what Boruto have gone through and her journey as a hokage for Konoha.
We set aside what are our own impressions about Sarada and follow the artist's creative authority so in that way we get the full appreciation of the story.
