ART change?

Did anyone else notice that Heils art style changed? Idk what it is, but his face looks softer and less sharp. I liked the previous art style more from the first part (before the 5 years skip). It was incredibly detailed and he was a much more attractive character that really fit the "god of the underworld" title. Now there isnt much detail in his face?? Idk

    It depends, int he beginning they were trying to misdirect the reader into thinking heil was evil. Evil characters usually have sharper and more detailed designs, while protagonists or the "good guys" have softer fluffier art styles. Maybe the change was to show that he is a good guy now?

    Yeah i understand that aspect, I still miss the previous face though. For sure, I think it would have been great to have a "evil god" design that fit his title but still portray his good heart. I think that would be more subtle and interesting. I still love the story though :,).....

    Yeah, you're right! I liked the original design as well, that was just my guess for why it changed. This design is good as well, but it is so soft that there is no sense of danger and you wouldn't believe that he is the god of hell based on those panels alone. Maybe his sharp detailed design will show up when he becomes really angry and they need to show that he's dangerous.
