I liked the collaboration between the protagonist and rival of the jump manga that was popular here for a while.

The one that can express the protagonist and the rival with a spiky blond head and nonchalant black hair.

>>3

I can’t think of any examples other than Naruto.

>>107

Jujutsu… is it not blonde?

>>107

Tough or…

>>126

Even if we put aside the talk about Jump, a cool black-haired rival character isn’t going to appear, right?

>>149

Wait, isn’t Tough a Jump work?

I’ve never seen a protagonist with a two-block hairstyle.

>>9

Soma and so on…

>>9

Is it like Itadori?

If you divide it like in the thread image, it becomes super modern, which is also tough.

Recently, there’s Senku and others.

I wonder where the trend of the protagonist having bangs styled in an X shape started from.

Is it a hit with Sasouni?

If the starting line is just an ordinary boy, then it’s somehow difficult.

There aren’t many protagonists with a buzz cut, you know.

>>15

What comes to mind right away is Sakuragi.

Well, it’s not that much.

If you don’t let it sit, the volume won’t really come out.

The hairstyles of protagonists in shonen manga often leave a strong impression of being unusual.

>>19

I sometimes feel that the exaggerated spiky hairstyle, depicted in two dimensions, is a more impressive hairstyle than I expected when it becomes a figure.

I feel like there are trends that come and go.

Just like the heroes of old all wore bandanas.

Well, there are protagonists with braided hair, so it covers most hairstyle types.

A protagonist who leans toward being a yankee is convenient, isn’t it?

When you open it up, the aura of hobby battles wafts through.

In eroge, it’s better for the protagonist to have a less defined personality, so there are very many of them.

A while ago, it seems like there were a lot of people who looked like Vegeta without an M-shaped baldness.

I see, you want to emphasize the eyes…

I think there was quite a period when there were many of the intermediate type.

But it’s also nice when the protagonist with messy hair shows their eyes in a critical moment.

>>31

This is not a protagonist, but a side character who acts cool and steps up when it counts.

I’ve started to think that barcode baldness might not be so bad after watching this season’s anime.

So, this Saitama

In that regard, Subaru is distinct.

>>38

When I see the cover of the book, I realize you had that kind of visual…

>>38

If the character design brings out new personalities in a novel-based work, that can be problematic…

>>38

When the Higurashi Meakashi-hen came out, I thought, Keiichi… so that’s what your fashion was like…

>>38

I wondered if it was because my modern Japanese-style outfit is unusual, that I’m being stared at.

Trying to differentiate characters based on their hairstyles shows a lack of drawing skill…

From my perspective, it’s still too plain.

In modern times, there are many hair colors of female heroines that do not exist in reality.

Isn’t it okay not to worry about making concessions with reality?

I have the impression, or rather the prejudice, that there are a lot of undercuts in Korean originals.

There’s a character with blonde twin tails in the sports manga I’m reading.

A regular high school student who claims to have transferred to another world is

Actually, if it were dyed in black and white two-tone and had red eyes, it would be scary…

If character differentiation can only be done through hairstyles, that’s a problem.

It’s basically a hairstyle as part of character differentiation.

Dark blue hair is often practically treated as black hair in some cases, right?

It’s definitely a mask, isn’t it?

Even though they have the same face setting, there were times when readers didn’t realize they had the same face because their hairstyles were different.

>>51

Luke and Ash thought something similar too.

>>53

The skin color is too different in the anime!

Messy, spiky hair.

Yuji Itadori

Rokuhira Chihiro

Morihito

Gakuro Yoshijima

In fact, even if it was properly and carefully visually differentiated…

I think it would be surprising if there were multiple blonde twin-tails.

I can’t tell if the difference between Tekkamann Blade and Evil is due to their hairstyles or differences in the animation.

(The author is human, so there are characters with somewhat similar facial features, right…)

Even a hairstyle that is structurally impossible

That’s good, isn’t it?

>>63

Isn’t this somewhat about clothing and such?

When you narrow the conversation down to above the neck, it changes again, right?

>>63

It’s basic, not just in animated works but also in live-action productions.

Everyone in period dramas with topknots is creatively changing their hairstyles to alter their silhouettes.

If you don’t make the main characters recognizable even with a mosaic, then…

I think many readers aren’t looking that seriously, so they can’t tell the difference.

Sometimes I see the perm protagonist, sometimes I don’t.

Regardless of female characters, do male characters need a reason to have their hairstyles properly set?

>>66

Bedhead!

>>66

I think someone who is concerned about their hair with a comb is a good character trait.

If the design is too unique, it might end up being used as material for making a toy, like “There’s no one with a hairstyle like this…”

It’s important to be able to recognize someone just by their silhouette or to know their hairstyle even if they change it, like when wearing a hat or after a bath.

I did a random image search for hair thumbnails, but I feel like it’s really hard to distinguish them when they’re complete strangers.

The silhouette is important, but if Luffy enters the hot spring naked, won’t he just blend in with the other background characters?

If you can’t differentiate facial features, there’s no point in discussing it.

>>73

One Piece is transforming the physique of characters to an inhuman degree.

So being able to express individuality depends on the worldview.

>>73

In One Piece, there are only unusual people in terms of body shape.

It might be a good idea to put something on.

>>74

But looking at the recent protagonists with headbands and goggles, I feel more nostalgia than novelty.

>>85

In the case of NARUTO, there was a justification for wanting to include this no matter what.

Such processing might also be important.

Even if similar hairstyles have been carefully differentiated by facial features

Unless there is a very good reason, I can only think that you should at least vary your hairstyle.

There aren’t many hairstyles like Luffy’s in one-piece, so even if they are brought up as examples, it’s not very helpful…

For some reason, having a two-block hairstyle makes me end up being the party’s joker or musclehead type.

If only the face is extracted, I probably won’t be able to distinguish it.

For now, if you make wounds on the cheeks, eyes, forehead, and nose, it will leave an impression.

If you bring up an example from One Piece, none of the Straw Hat Pirates have the same hairstyle, and their body types are all different, so you can tell them apart at a glance based on their silhouettes, so it’s inappropriate to mention that.

>>88

It is true that black-haired protagonists are said to have a weak personality.

The relative aspects within that work are also important.

When it turns black and white, I can’t tell who it is anymore.

I really think that people who can vary the eye designs for both male and female characters are truly skilled at drawing.

>>90

BLEACH is really good at that part.

In other world stories, being from the modern world is often the protagonist’s unique trait, so their hairstyle tends to reflect that as well.

>>92

Hair color is green from the present!

Let’s put a scar on your face!

Yusuke with an all-back (pompadour) hairstyle is quite a rare sight…

>>94

Well, there are circumstances of the times as well…

Rokudenashi BLUES also has the same hairstyle.

>>100

It seems that bad manga can really express individuality.

When Luffy is taking a bath, he looks like a background character except for the scar around his eyes.

Differentiation through facial expressions, body type, and fashion other than hairstyle is certainly important too.

So that doesn’t give you a reason to neglect a hairstyle that stands out at first glance.

It’s not a big deal if it’s not similar to that work, so it’s actually foolish to bring up other works to say they are similar!

>>101

But, you know… the collaboration…

>>106

I wonder what happened to the collaboration products with Mitsuru Adachi.

When hairstyles and colors become similar, just make your expression look bad to differentiate yourself…

The serious developments are making the protagonist’s face tense!

Conversely, it would be quicker to mention manga where the characters’ appearances are similar and you might mistakenly confuse them if you don’t look closely.

I support Captain Tsubasa.

>>103

Mitsuru Adachi

I thought it was great that Blue Gender made that hairstyle the main focus.

I think it’s natural for the protagonist, who is characterized as an ordinary student found anywhere, to have a similar appearance instead of making it wildly different just in terms of looks.

Eye-catching accessories are the ultimate weapon for defining character.

Saiki Kusuo was deemed to be that kind of person from the settings.

Both Taisou and Hanamichi are there, and in terms of how he often lets his bangs down, Yusuke is somewhat rare.

I wonder if getting a fade cut makes one look delinquent and decreases their likability.

It’s quite a stretch for a ninja manga protagonist to have blonde hair and blue eyes, isn’t it, NARUTO?

Even Akira Toriyama made a joke about how Midori and Akane look the same except for their hairstyles.

One-piece outfits are not all based on standardized human body types, so they are not very useful as a reference.

I think even just looking at ordinary humanoid figures, they are properly distinguished.

In many creations, the starting point of the story, the “ordinary boy,” is simply concentrated in a plain aspect.

If a modern high school student is sporting a pompadour and introducing themselves normally, that’s pretty crazy.

In modern works, having a strange hairstyle or hair color requires a valid reason; if there isn’t one, it’s better to stick to something safe, which can lead to a transformation in the story.

I sometimes think that hairstyles and hair colors could be a bit more vibrant since it’s a manga, after all.

>>128

Since the heroine is colorful, I think it’s fine for the main character to be flashy too.

>>155

Based on the pattern of the thread image, the setting of a “Japanese person” being reincarnated sometimes leads to mentions of black hair by otherworldly characters in the original work…

The “Rebellion Record of Otherworldly Summoning with the Unfortunate Skill that I’m the Only One Experiencing” in Tona-Jump is really hard to tell apart…

If I let my guard down, I start wondering who is fighting who right now. Was this the main character? They died, so probably not…

>>129

The protagonist’s ability is skill copying, so it’s difficult to distinguish based on abilities.

Surprisingly, there aren’t many men in real life with bangs collected in the center.

>>130

If we recreate it in real life, it will end up looking like a host from a while ago…

>>130

I feel that having a beautiful look when gathered requires a certain quality of hair texture and thickness.

Curly hair is definitely out, and if there’s not enough volume, it ends up looking like a curtain.

I think it has become an icon that allows you to grasp the atmosphere of the character to some extent precisely because the types are limited.

Characters with pompadour hairstyles and black hair, like the protagonist, are not very common.

Even Adachi Mitsuru probably can’t tell the difference between himself and the protagonist he draws.

It’s not a problem since it doesn’t come up elsewhere in the story.

It’s too difficult to properly wear a samurai topknot.

>>134

There are many comics where there is no distinction between beautiful and unattractive people!

Additionally, it may be a disadvantage that drawing the protagonist’s strange hairstyle is difficult.

It’s impressive how the game managed to go all the way to the end like that…

>>135

Yugi’s hairstyle is drawn with quite a bit of detail, making it one of the better ones.

>>135

Because it’s easier compared to monsters…

Mr. Oda should definitely be able to draw a Goku that’s at least somewhat emulated, right?

There was a time when bad manga became popular, so things like pompadours aren’t that unusual.

If you have a shaved head, you might have to go quite far back to find anything other than the flower path.

Kamijou Touma is known as a “high school student with spiky hair,” but the orange innerwear also serves as a characteristic symbol for distinguishing his character.

I think there’s a reason why only the main character doesn’t wear this face.

Well, it’s common for other characters to be overlapping a lot.

Indeed, Kaguya’s great Buddha was said to be beautiful in the story, but I didn’t understand anything at all.

It would be nice if they had a normal hairstyle but wore distinctive accessories.

The Hanamichi starts off feeling like The Yankee, but then it turns into a red marimo, so it’s quite strange…

What could “Yu-Gi-Oh!” be? It’s a Jump work, but the protagonist feels more like a hobby manga character; however, Yami Yugi is definitely cool.

If we’re talking about being cool and handsome, then Jonouchi is definitely that.

In the first place, male protagonists often aren’t the type to be very concerned about their appearance.

It’s still a bit off even if the hairstyle is strangely elaborate…

>>152

It’s rare to have a protagonist who is so stylish and particular about things like a hamburger and likes brand-name goods…

In yankee manga, they do exist quite a bit, though.

I think it’s okay to have a vibrant crew cut.

It’s troubling when the silhouette is easy to understand with a theory, you know.

I know it’s a luxury to ask, but I want you to differentiate between stunningly beautiful, fairly good-looking, average-looking, and ugly faces.

Short bob cuts, perms, and slicked-back styles are also options, right?

>>157

It would be fine if it was something like a magazine…

Let’s go with Mikimoto’s artwork for the main character.

Since everyone in period dramas wears traditional Japanese clothing…

I can somewhat understand the common people, the rich, the samurai class, and the aristocracy, but…

When trying to express a beautiful character in a truly beautiful way, the entire work ends up overflowing with slightly unattractive elements…

It’s better to keep it as a difficult older sister with too wide of an impact range for the sake of peace.

When you consciously look for it, you’ll notice there are a ton of people with slicked-back hair or hair standing up…

>>163

I thought that having a hairstyle with bangs lifted is rare for women but normal for men, so it might be easier to adopt.

I can’t help but feel that it’s simply influenced by Super Saiyan Goku.

A hairstyle that is cute and has a sense of cleanliness, but is not for a male protagonist.

>>164

Maeda Keiji?

The current JoJo, if you exclude the colors, might also be considered to have a trendy hairstyle.

>>165

Hmm…

It’s even harder to distinguish characters when it comes to shoujo manga.

There’s no point in going on an adventure with a hairstyle like the protagonist’s, even if it’s not on Narou.

It’s the same as not having a very short heroine.

What were you eating to come up with that hairstyle for Yugi?

Even if there is a slightly unattractive person in reality, it doesn’t bother me at all.

When you draw a slightly unattractive character in a manga, they end up looking quite unattractive.

>>170

That’s because there are only beautiful people in manga.

If all the protagonists had hairstyles like Giorno, it would be a problem…

I really don’t like it if anyone other than the beauty at the party is somewhat unattractive…

I see, wanting to have a strong gaze is the reason…

>>175

The eyes not being visible simply doesn’t look good…

Even if slightly unattractive or unattractive characters are featured in manga, honestly, the readers probably won’t be happy about it…

In that case, a normal cute girl is better.

Should we allow boys to have ponytails, twin tails, or braids?

It seems like you can use women’s hairstyles in 3D games too.

Desperately unsuited, but

I haven’t heard the word “hanko-e” in a while.

Yankees have a side of trying to look cool, so it’s quite natural for them to be conscious of fashion.

I want about 20 different types of beauties.

It definitely feels strange if a character who has transferred from modern Japan to another world has a hairstyle like those in games or something like Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo, as shown in the image, while explaining something.

>>185

A guy with a strange appearance saying ordinary things with a straight face is already funny just because of that.

>>185

I think there might be a problem with the combinations with other things.

At least the game is set up with ordinary students.

If everyone has flashy hairstyles, then that’s just how Japan is.

If you can prepare three patterns: thin face, thick face, and super ugly, then it will somehow work out.

JoJo has a strong image of being a group of eccentric characters.

Long-haired handsome men inevitably become aesthetic.

If divided by solid colors, white, and tone, the three can have the same hairstyle.

I couldn’t accept Samon-kun’s hairstyle, so it seems that there are few hairstyle variations that I can tolerate for boys.

No one reads something like “Negima” where two-thirds of the class are a bit unattractive.

I haven’t seen long-haired characters like the old Kimutaku lately.

A while ago, it was all about sharp-pointed heads.

The image looks like it belongs to an erotic game protagonist.

The types of good-looking people will inevitably decrease.

If you try to differentiate only by face, ugly ones are inevitably mixed in.

It’s fine for the sub-character guys, though.

Just because you can tell them apart doesn’t mean you should mistake it for being able to answer a name-guessing quiz correctly.

In the end, all aspects of that character’s visual leaves an impression, which means they can be distinguished.

There are plenty of hairstyles for men as well.

It’s just to calm them down in order to create a protagonist image that even people who don’t take care of their hair can easily empathize with.

The problem of not being able to draw elderly or middle-aged characters in a diverse way.

Just adding nasolabial folds or just droopy eyes.

In Korean comics, there are a lot of messy hairstyles, right?

Even games like Yu-Gi-Oh are interesting, so this character just happens to have this hairstyle as a result.

I don’t think it’s necessarily bad to have likes and dislikes based on the first impression of someone’s hair.

With slanted eyes, droopy eyes, and half-lidded eyes, we can go with three people!

I feel like it’s enough just to let the hair around my eyes blow in some mysterious wind.

Isn’t it kind of cool to be a little hidden usually?

Unless there is a very good reason, it’s better not to overlap impressions for each character…
