@arcvmonth Day 24: Oh. My. G.O.D!

Heck yeah, manga day! One of the first ever posts I made on this blog was a redesign of manga Yuya (which id love to redraw as my art has improved heaps since then). I wanted to do something little with him and my redesign of Yuzu- which I haven't shared before.

I personally don't think a teenage boy (well, technically 4) who lives by himself would really want to cook that often. And the Maccas staff wouldn't rat you out for being on the run like your supermarket would.

Scattered thoughts on the manga under the cut:

I headcannon the cast to be a little older in the manga, Yuya and Yuzu to be around 16. I felt like I needed to give them redesigns because of how different they feel from their anime versions.

I haven't read all of the manga, but what I have read I really like. Mentally, I tend to think of them as Pokemon Diamond and Pearl, because Diamond version deals with the legendary Pokemon of Time- as manga Yuya is from the future- while Pearl Version deals with the Legendary Pokemon of Space and I feel like the anime's dimension hopping follows that theme. And also Yuzu shares her English voice actor with the Dawn, the female protagonist of those games X3c

I really like how in the manga Reiji feels more like an actual rival, hunting down Yuya. Yuya is also fantastic, still being cheerful and friendly while having an air of maturity that his anime version doesn't have. While also being Batman. And I love that he can swap out with Yuto, Yugo and Yuri whenever they need. Them being supportive older brothers who don't want him to learn the truth to not devastate him is also super bittersweet. A big reason I use their anglicized names (Hugo, Ute, Joeri) is to mentally differentiate them from their manga versions.

While I think some characters are awesome in this version, there are a couple I don't like. Yuzu feels very vain and surface level. She practically forced Yuya to be managed by her. Shes concerned about money, which can sometimes make an interesting character, but they don't really give her anything else? Like, other than judging Yuya for using Uni and Corn because they were feminine looking but swooning over his more masculine cards, which gave me a huge ick.

Another I don't like in this version is Shun. They massacred my boy. He's such a cool and complex character in the anime, but in this version he's just kinda... Boring. Being angry because you want to be the very best at a children's card game doesn't make you a cool character, it makes you a goddamn redditor.

I still haven't finished the manga (I will one day!!) That's my thoughts on what I have read. If youve somehow made it this far, you're an absolute trooper, thank you for the support. Thank you also to everyone supporting me though my slowdown in art throughout this event, it really means a lot!
