Am I really the only one who thinks that while Mashima is a good mangaka overall, girls are definitely not his strong point? The proportions are all over the place, the forms are more geometric than organic, he is not consistent (in all human figures, not only in girls); the overall effect for me is more embarassing to look at than anything else (and not the kind of "embarassing" that would be the right kind for a hentai ;) ). Of course, this is a criticism from a total amateur, so I'm not saying I could do better (I could not, obviously) but, there definitely are a lot of people, even half-amateurs on DA and such that can. So much in fact that I would say that Mashima is even below average, passable at best.

But, granted, I think the same thing about most ecchi shows and the improbably breasted stock manga female figure, so maybe I'm just not suited for this half of todays manga/anime market. ^_^
