iconic moments from the octa and savana manga updates
***Manga spoilers below the cut!!***
So... uh... Leona sleeping shirtless (and in jeans???) is canon? (Leona is taking off and tossing his clothes to Yuuta and Grim in the first image, Ruggie's dragging Leona out of bed in the second image.) Or is that a creative liberty on the mangaka's part?? 😂
If you look to the bottom right of the first image, there's makeshift bedding for Yuuta and Grim~
STAN RAGI HE'S SO CUTE TTATT LOOK AT HIS CHEEKY LIL SMILE... And his fangies...
AIYFLIYOFAIYOFAIAFBAD NOT AZUL MAKING THE MOST OUT OF POCKET FACIAL EXPRESSIONS. . . . .. .... . ....... .. . . ... . . . . Between this chapter and the last, he's got enough sass to power the entire school...
There's a panel where we get a glimpse of Azul's socks, which matches the pattern that Floyd wears in his own Dorm Uniform. These must just be the default socks as part of their Dorm Uniform... It's very weird to think of Jade in these too😭
adbihlbvfvoyqevpbf I love how the manga shows Floyd leaning on Azul and Jade so often; it really helps to characterize Floyd as much more lax than the other two. It also paints Floyd as comfortable with getting up close and personal, especially with people he is familiar with.
MEANWHILE LOOK AT LEONA... WHAT'S WITH THOSE FACES HE'S SO DISGUSTED IN THE FIRST AND PRETTILY PISSED IN THE SECOND... (First is from the Episode of Octavinelle, second is from the Episode of Savanaclaw; you can really take note of the stylistic differences between the two mangaka here.)
Maybe she's born with it, it's Maybelline... asdgvaosdvavdasb The Episode of Savanaclaw artist is so extra when it comes to Leona's hair, it's very reminiscent of shoujo manga www
... I know Yuuta and Grim are being kicked out of house and home but 1) GRIM LOOKS SO CUTE CLUTCHING ONTO HIS TUNA CANS, 2) Yuuta looks adorable too, look at the leek sticking out... and 3) damn, I wish the twins would loom menacingly over me too
Yuuta has been my favorite manga!Yuu so far 😭 Boy's not only kind but his own skills to help him out of a pinch without getting violent or fighting... He convinces Leona to let him sleep over at Savanaclaw dorm by cooking Leona food he actually (begrudgingly lol) likes. AND THAT MEANS A LOT COMING FROM LEONA, WHO HAS A ROYAL PALATE AND IS A SUPER PICKY MASTER CHEF/CULINARY CRUCIBLES JUDGE.
AYO, we got the first cover art for the Episode of Octavinelle manga... Big fan of the golden octopus and the intricate tentacles. And, once again, Azul's posed in that smug businessman way 💀 knowing that you'll probably purchase him...
This volume will be avaliable on the 26th of January.

I love how the episode of Octavinelle lets Leona make expressive and ugly faces; Savanaclaw seemed to say he was to pretty to make appropriately unhinged expressions for a dude who’s overblotting
Here are two images of Leona to illustrate what Anon is referring to! I've also included examples featuring Azul.
The left images come from the Episode of Octavinelle, which is illustrated by Kowono Sumire. The right images are from the Episode of Savanaclaw, which is illustrated by Suzuka Oda. As you can see, each mangaka has their own unique way of drawing and presenting the TWST characters (and, in this case, Leona and Azul).
I've seen similar comments floating around about the expressions in the Episode of Savanaclaw; the characters, and Leona in particular, don't seem to have as wide of a range as the other Episodes. There seems to be more of a focus on keeping the characters pretty and "same faced", for lack of a better term, rather than experimenting with a variety of exaggerated emotions. When you consider the background of the two mangaka working on Savanaclaw and Octavinelle, this observation makes more sense.
Kowono-san, who has worked on Heartslabyul and Octavinelle, is one of Yana's assistants. She therefore has more experience with more... creative, shall we say, expressions, even if some come off as unattractive. She didn't have to make Azul this unhinged when having a contract signed, she just decided to make it like that. She didn't have to show Leona's full displeasure like that. But Yana and her team have never been shy about making ugly faces so long as it conveys the desired feeling or conveys the right character.
Meanwhile, Suzuka-san's previous manga, Pretty Boy Detective Club, is more of your traditional manga (if we're just strictly talking about the faces they make) with, of course, tons of pretty boys. It follows that Suzuka-san's style, then, makes the boys look flattering no matter how they may be feeling. That's very clear in the love and care she puts into drawing everyone's flowing hair and long lashes!!
There's nothing wrong with the Episode of Savanaclaw's style in a vacuum. Suzuka Oda definitely has her own strengths and creates beautiful artwork, I'd just say it isn't always "fitting" for certain scenes (especially TWST's angsty or super emotional ones).
