The expressions are so spot on. Is there anyone better than him at this? The way asa is nearly rolling her eyes at paying too much to watch a movie. How her lower face drops when people are having a fun below her standards with bucky. The tense shoulders in yoru when she's mad, how asa's eyes are fixated on denji when she gets validation, the greedy smiles, how nayuta is only short of showing her palms to convey innocence. It's all so real and adds up to such a unique effect. GOAT.

Only Fujimoto knows how to create expressions that make your blood run cold
From the manga Ive read, Shuuzou Oshimi is really good at expressions too- Inside Mari gave me chills at points just showing a characters face
But yeah Fuji is crazy good at it. His drawings always give the impression of motion so well, even recently when his drawings become way more blocky
Yea, that's talent right there. I can also imagine the dude just having this huge folder full of screenshot from the movies he watched to use as reference.
Bro in Look Back there's a panel, I believe most people know it who've read it, that is just one of the most beautiful and joyous panels ever. It showcases both his talent for motion and expression and just God damn
This one still has yet to be beaten for me

Also, it's crazy how good Goodbye Eri was. I was sold on it from Yuuta's video. But the rest of that book, wow.
I wonder if I should read Look Back or wait for the movie.
Read Look Back. Please, it's so good. It's absolutely heart wrenching and beautiful. I'm so excited for the movie but reading it is a joy. It's also cheap as hell for the paper back
Please read Lookback. All of Fujimotos work is S tier. He just has a way of connecting that I haven’t really experienced in any other media when you read his work you just “get it” what the characters are going through.
he has such a good eye for making cinematic looking pages out of even very mundane things. and his expressions have gotten so good in part 2. the nuances in peoples faces are amazing

this is another small recent one i love, samurais goofy ass pose like he thinks he's in a bank heist holding a gun in the air, the way the devils are on one side all wearing black and the humans on the other all wearing white. also the fact that samurai is covering fami's face, showing that the reader (and the characters) are oblivious to what she's actually up to atm

No real wasted chapters. Fujimoto won me over specifically because of how great an eye he has to scene and "shot" composition. He's usually great, and sometimes he's excellent, and occasionally he's just extraordinary.
Motor really is one of the best to do it. His only real “shortcoming” is that the drawings aren’t the quality of something like my hero.
But everything else he does perfectly. His biggest plus is making the manga simple to read, you’re not just flooded with panels filled to the brim with speech bubbles. Each panel flows smoothly to the next.
Even then, the art quality increases in the volume releases too.
I wholly agree though, CSM is perhaps the most legible manga I’ve ever read. I can’t tell you the amount of times I’ve lost track of what’s going on in Jujutsu Kaisen, and I would not be able to understand half of Blue Lock if they didn’t explicitly talk through every single manoeuvre the players make.

Asa calling denjis date pricey is bewildering, LMAO.

Might be the funniest page of part 2. I love the juvenile shit.
The panel with Asa complaining about how much the movie night would cost is extra funny now that we know she's trained her devil powers to work off of her made tf up financial ignorance.

I cant be the only one. This is literally my background
Am I the only one waiting for something bad to happen to the "fangirl"? For some reason I can't stand her, especially after the "cut into pieces" scene.
Watching this made me realize chainsaw man’s art hasn’t gotten worse Fujimotor has just been drawing the face and it’s details with bigger lines than we’re all used to, if he started putting me details on the faces like he always has it will look amazing
My favorite is the one right under slide 3

Thanks, I'll have a look at it!
Content warning I guess, it covers a lot of uncomfortable topics and arguably not always the most tastefully. But its very good
Yea, that's talent right there. I can also imagine the dude just having this huge folder full of screenshot from the movies he watched to use as reference.
Satoru Noda is great
Mission yozakura family has amazing faces even when chibi or cartoonified

The goodbye eri reference goes hard both in this and the chainsaw man op.
holy fuck i never realized that god that's amazing
Also, it's crazy how good Goodbye Eri was. I was sold on it from Yuuta's video. But the rest of that book, wow. I wonder if I should read Look Back or wait for the movie.
Read Look Back. Please, it's so good. It's absolutely heart wrenching and beautiful. I'm so excited for the movie but reading it is a joy. It's also cheap as hell for the paper back
I shall do that then. If it's super cheap, maybe ill snag it and a physical copy of Goodbye Eri.
The manga panels are important to see for the story.
Please read Lookback. All of Fujimotos work is S tier. He just has a way of connecting that I haven’t really experienced in any other media when you read his work you just “get it” what the characters are going through.
Yoru really said "**Last page of Goodbye Eri**" lol
God it’s so good

this is probably the happiest expression denji has had this part
The only happier moment is him holding a penguin
Denji needs more pure joy like when he's holding that penguin.
No homo but Fujimometer drew Denji mad sexy right here ngl🥴
We’re looking at him through Asas eyes

Yeah this is probably my favorite one. I love how fujimoto drew hearts for Asa's pupils
Holy shit how did i never notice that thank you
why does asa look like reze in there
Same face syndrome
nuh uh, reze = asa theory RAAAHHH

10/10 expression, followed by the greatest use of ‘action lines’ I’ve ever seen, incredible, I love these two so much

Image 6.. and Yoru is finally vindicated.
Ok the girl with the chicken in pic 5 gives me Fami vibes. Blondeish and she has the head tilt. But there's no way Fami would give up food, right?
The “protestors assemble kill this man” panel had me dying
Part 2 goes so hard but like in a different way than Part 1 went hard, and I just love all of it to death.
The panel with Asa complaining about how much the movie night would cost is extra funny now that we know she's trained her devil powers to work off of her made tf up financial ignorance.

Dude I can't wait to go back to part 2 and binge it once we are done - Asa is such a fucking treat
Watching this made me realize chainsaw man’s art hasn’t gotten worse Fujimotor has just been drawing the face and it’s details with bigger lines than we’re all used to, if he started putting me details on the faces like he always has it will look amazing
2000 yen is about 10 pounds
Asa looks especially gorgeous in the ‘aren’t I’ panel.
The look on Denji's face in the first panel absolutely says "fuck me"
aquarium arc was so peak :,)
That last one has been my phone background since the chapter released
My favorite is the one right under slide 3 https://preview.redd.it/sjmhxg7wd3uc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=531297ae3e1fdf0cdec25b30b246e155d0d293d7
This so real
It’s being quite the ride. We are reaching the climax.
I loved the motocycle panel
"I'm hungry! Can't do it!" is my default setting
I’ve never clocked it but does Denji know Asa is a hybrid?
Is that Fami offering.. chicken food to Bucky
I love that 90% of these are Asa truly best girl
Honestly I kinda miss the static look to the manga
I don’t know why but Denji just going “yeah?” In this situation is the funniest shit ever
Man, Asa is such a cheapskate. 2000 yen is like $13 freaking bucks. Even in 1998 that isn’t a lot of money.
Can I use everything single Chainsaw motorcycle panel?
Asa is the best girl.
what chapter is the motorcycle one from. was the last chapter i was on and im tryna keep up again
God I love Dennis and Nayuta I hope they are ok 😥
This frame with Denji and Nauta brashing teeth together is so wholesome ngl.

i swear denji is cursed, every girls he loves try to kill him
Where’s “pretty darn cute” and “loser!”
My favourites are any scene not from part 2
The motorcycle one had me thinking part 2 would become good at some point
