A ★★★ review of The Amazing Digital Circus: The Last Act (2026)

I could go on forever, and I will, about Kiyohiko Azuma's mastery of faces.

His characters are rather simply drawn, but he's a master of both subtlety and over-the-top wackiness. He's unafraid to do both.

His faces, no matter how wacky, are very REAL. He's a genius when it comes to putting very complex moods and reactions on paper.

And of course one of his all-time greatest faces is this scene: one of Fuuka's heritage moments.

It's so good, so subtle, so real, so complex. Not surprise, not comedic embarrassment, just an empty realization and disbelief at her own slip-up. The combination of her eyes and mouth line, just shellshocked. Hilarious.

Kiyohiko Azuma is able to use incredibly simple lines to convey so much. Stuff that, in my opinion, is typically too subtle and real for manga to use.
