I simply love manga, and I could draw them when I was a teenager.
Though highly stylized, Manga are curiously lifelike. I think it may have to do with their eyes, which are expressive in a way that is not real but super-real: over the top reality, like in photorealism paintings.
Also, they are eerily beautiful: their beauty is so extreme as to border on the non-human.
Human yet strangely alien beauty; an irresistible combination!
