I'm anime only and this has been amazing and top tier for me, but the manga rating scare me. Does the story start off great then goes downhill, or is it something stupid like manga is only in Japanese? Another possibility is adaption is just exceptional?

1. Manga's art style is very bad.

2. Only few chapters have been translated.

3. Wit Studio is rearranging lot of stuff they are removing and at the same time adding lot of extra scene.

Yeah okay, so basically a few reasons. Low member count, little english chapters, Arguably better adaption, bad art style.

Art style is same in both manga and anime for better or for worse. About adaptation also people cant tell because only few chapters are available (some rearrangement was seen there). animation is pretty good though

With the funny art style, it is really giving me a hard time to sympathize with the Mc.

I can see that, i actually like style in anime, but ouch the manga looks rough, it would lose a lot of impact in so much.

Artstyle such as this is better of being animated or watched than read. The audience will undestandably find it less appealing so. Glad, that I found this. Very thankful for Wit Studio

The art improves a lot in latter chapters. Understandable as the author probably improved the drawing skills over a few months.

Plus this is a web manga. So you can preety much compare it with OPM initial manga. And was the art bad?? It somehow worked out because of the genre.
(Not talking about the serialisation which most people actually read). His 2nd project mob pyscho was more serious and had better art. The recent one has really good art.

But when all these get there anime (and they only do if the story is actually amazing).... And get adapted by a great studio, the simple art style gives a chance to have some great animation instead.

Bad artstyle? Could be drawn by a 13 year old? Get over yourself and your shallowness.
The author draws in a plain yet atypical way that makes his comics distinctive and easily recognizable and that's no easy task at all.
The composition and general layout of the pages alone are worth of high praise and no mere kid could (or even would) dream of producing something akin to Ousama Ranking.

This. People seem to underestimate how hard it is to publish a manga. You're on a tight schedule, need to satisfy the needs of the reader, and need to battle with the part of you that just wants to give up. Manga isn't just detailed drawings in succession, it also consists of composition, managing the flow of the story via panels and telling a story through pictures (which no 13 year old could dream of doing). Also the art style is very memorable and charming, the hell are y'all talking about trash art.

I mean, has anyone seen Mob Psychos art style? I mean the manga - it's awful, but you know what? It doesn't matter because the story is ridiculously good.

I also think Mob Psycho was his first work, same as Ousama Ranking is for this author.

Manga art is bad but the story is still the same. Story for ousama ranking is incredible compared to most manga out there but the art is not something people like.

Bruh it's worse than I imagined. I wonder how did WIT got the budget to animate a manga like this, like bruh. Even Mob Psycho manga is alot better, maybe 100 times no joke it was better than this, it even has detailed panel like this, which I don't think Ousama have. And for real where the hell did the budget come from?

The two aren't mutually exclusive. Yeah, making a manga is much harder than just drawing the pictures, and of course saying a 13 year old could do it is an exaggeration, but that doesn't automatically make the art good. It's not. And what the dude you were quoting said was absolutely ridiculous, pure fangirling.

Wit took a manga with a good story and non very good art and made it look great, which makes it easier for people to enjoy everything else that's good about it. They're pros at doing exactly that.

In fact, they did that to Shingeki no Kyojin as well.
Before, well, the art for it progressively became genuinely great.

You didn't make any "points". You said the style was "plain yet atypical" and "instantly recognizable", and yeah, it is, but that's just because no other self-respecting mangaka would put out work looking like that. If I wrapped my dick around a pencil and drew a smiley face, I bet your ass it would look both plain and atypical, and be quite unique, but that wouldn't make it good.

I'm not an artist, so I can't couch my criticism in technical terms, but even I can recognize that the lines are irregular (and not on purpose), and the character design is lacking in detail to the point of laziness. Everything is made up of simple shapes, and they just plain look bad, you can't take them seriously, and that's not great for a story that wants to touch upon serious themes.

I get it, you like the story and the characters; I do too. That doesn't make the art good. It isn't.

Just to start with: that first comparison you made is awful and you should've kept it for yourself, and the same goes for ''no other self-respecting mangaka would put out work looking like that''.

Irregular lines? That's an issue that persisted throughout the beginning of the series (up to volume three I'd say) but was quickly resolved.
This was caused by the artist's inexperience as Ousama Ranking is both his professional debut and his first serialization.

Lacking character designs that border on laziness? You've completely lost me on this one and I'm not sure which designs are you actually criticizing.

I'll ignore your last impertinent line.
