Hahaha! That's how you do it!

Does anyone else think that Mira's art is really poor? Somehow, they seem to have gained quite a following but I'm gonna avoid this author in the future.

I just think it's mostly boring. The art is normal.

I tend to avoid their works because I dislike their art style

I don't think her art is necessary bad. It's just a bit bland. There is nothing really outstanding about it.

It was nice conclusion Step sister love it crazy Mira overly nice work

Yummy! Naughty! Yuri-licous!

That's 3 Mira works this month! July is now Mira month!

Agreed. It's largely competent, but nothing to write home about.

I like reading Mira's stuff: her(?) characters are usually entertaining, the art's decent, and she's pretty good at drawing lesbian sex. But I'd say her narratives range from "satisfactory" to "flimsy pretext to have two (or more) girls getting busy," most leaning towards the latter end.

I feel like most romance manga need to take the first two panels on this page to heart. Finally someone says it. I wish we never had this plot point again ever.

Oh, a sequel.
NICE

Mmmhmm, I'd be inclined to agree that her art is so-so but its not awful. Morishita and Arai's romance was nice, good laugh too.

Didn't notice it was Mira

Didn't notice it was Mira

Don't lie, you can notice her style right away she just uses the same face for all her characters...

If not that, then her balloon-tits thing is usually a solid indicator.

Anyone else laughed when Shizuku slapped Misono?

Yeah while her art may not be the best I don't think it's really poor so to say. I'm still going to follow her since I like reading her works. For me has long has I can enjoy reading I don't mind to much about the art that much.

Man, this really turned into the Talk Shit About Mira thread, eh?

What the fuck....creepy

Man, this really turned into the Talk Shit About Mira thread, eh?

I don't understand it. Like, sure Mira's art style is a little messy, but not everything needs to be Dowman Sayman levels of sleek lines. Sameface is hardly a real complaint since the vast majority of artists in anime/manga use it to a degree. And Mira has said that she just enjoys drawing smut with big busts. What really irritates me is how people on this site can lambaste Mira and praise Takemiya Jin in the same breath. How anyone can get past those hideous fisheyes that make all the characters look high is beyond me. Mira's art may not be anything to write home about, but at least it's not a walking human rights violation.
As for writing, sure, Mira has a bunch of simplistic stories that are just about two girls getting it on, but so do a lot of other artists. At least she's daring in the idea department. Compared to most artists, such as Jin or Morinaga Milk who almost always do the same school girl hand-holding "will they/won't they?" drama stories over and over, Mira has historical works, fantasy works, adult life works, etc. And her writing is very good, especially in the longer works like Earth Girls. Dunno' why people here are so... wrong.

Sorry if I'm getting too shit talk-y. Mira does some things I like and some things I dislike, but overall I do enjoy her work.

I don't hold the shallowness of some of Mira's stories against her; I actually I like how willing she is to admit "Yeah, I mostly just wanted to draw lesbians having lots of sex" on those occasions. Plus I 'm perfectly capable of enjoying mindless porn every once and awhile.*

My issue is when she tries does try to include deeper, more meaningful narratives in her work. Like I said, they're satisfactory, they tend to have plot holes or inconsistencies or other flaws. Those flaws aren't major, but they're enough to make me take notice and make me enjoy the work less than I feel I could have.

Oh, the "only draws one face" thing is a completely valid criticism. I'm not singling Mira out on this; it being a widespread practice doesn't help.

*All the time.

Oh, my comment was descriptive, not prescriptive. I was just observing that it went a way none of the discussions of her other work did. No need to change on my account.

Oh, alright.

It felt good to elaborate on my criticism, anyways.

I do ind this piece isn't one of her best, almost like it's older art from around the same time she did My Neighbor Yumeno-san, rather than stuff like the The Sea, You, and The Sun or the mermaid one. Maybe it's just that her high-school porn stuff is dashed off in a hurry to pay the bills, saving her focus for stuff she's got more investment in.

That was a joke, but I really don't understand how anyone can get past the first page of those huge fucking eyes. They belong with these unholy abominations:

Also, I really don't care much about sameface in anime. I pretty much expect it at this point and aren't bothered by it much. I doubt it will ever change, too, since it's such a cultural aspect of anime/manga. To me, there are more important things to critique, such as the writing, which I still think Mira is good at. She blends humor into sex scenes better than most. And she has some of the best afterwords in the business, which I always find to be extremely important in rating a work. The afterword to Earth Girls, specifically the third paragraph which sounds like something out of a book written by a Marxist feminist in the 1960's is still my all-time favorite.

The art is decent but not spectacular. It's not as polished as other works and some characters look incredibly similar. But Mira is pretty good at cobbling together a decent love story and many of them aren't outright terrible and some of them are good with the worst I've seen being corruption finale. He isn't going to blow your mind or win an award anytime soon but he can tell a good story that can entertain you for a bit.
