Same Face Syndrome
I would say 99.999% of manga suffer from Same Face Syndrome. It's an
epidemic that will never be rectified because artists are lazy. But it's
not their fault. Why draw something that most readers won't give a crap
about? With the world so ADD nowadays, readers take what, ten, fifteen
seconds to look at a page? It's less time consuming to swap your
characters' hair like wigs.
What amazes me is everything else is fine. Beautiful even. The
backgrounds are detailed down to every shaded window, the animals are
drawn to near perfect anatomy, and if the elderly aren't regular
faces with a line underneath each eye, they've got all the wrinkles and
sagging skin. So the artist is capable of drawing diverse faces other
than different combinations of eyes and eyebrows. What boggles my
mind is when the artist chooses to make their main cast practically the
same. Who
cares about background characters and throwaway characters, but the main
cast?
