Itagaki is truly the man I wish to aspire to be in comic art. Its silly of me to say it but his work has the type of autism that scratches the brain right while lighting a fire for my /fit/ martial arts side. Say what you want about him. Call his drawings gay, stupid or unappealing but the man made this stuff for 30 years and it put a roof over his wife and daughters heads and now he's got grandkids and his daughter, Paru is becoming just as successful as him. I know it's cringe gushing about him but I hope I can reach his level of human anatomy and art skills. Though with less of the rape autism stuff lol.
