What does /a/ feel about these kinds of books?
/a/ doesnt feel
>>285727995Somewhat cute and nostalgic in hindsight but anyone that bought them at the time was a massive fag.
>>285728037Honestly yeah
>>285728010CAUSE I FEEEEEEL
>>285727995A lot of them were incredibly useless. I bought a few when they were at their height and not one of them analyzed actual manga artist's work nor showed you how to simply the body in a pleasant way
They are very important to me.You have to start somewhere and there's always room for improvement.
>>285727995Crazy that the author was 16 when she made this and it got so popular.
Any artifact of the era before 2007 is pure, unrefined SOVL.Everything back then was cringe, but thats the point. Before the whole idea of "cringe" landed in the public consciousness like a meteor; before the idea that you could be genuine or earnestly identify with a subculture without feeling the need to bury yourself under layers of self-awareness and post-irony; before the concept of the bland, generic, hyper-self-aware "weeb"; there was a whole spectrum of genuine japanophiles, otaku, fujos, furries.But those days are gone.Internet culture has changed.It started degrading during the 2010's, and the final nail in the coffin was when the timeline fully split after epstein put his finger in moots bumhole.
>>285728203Still barely any real guides today desuWould you agree?
>>285728254Holy cuck
>>285728448If you ask real manga artists they'll recommend classic books like Loomis.
>>285727995Soul
>>285727995OP you are 20 years too late trying to make this kind of shitpost.
>>285727995They're like goofy time capsules
>>285731747O my droopy waifu.
