I can see if the art is copied/redrawn, but the script? That is a bit much.
Did you read the circled dialogue? It's pretty much word for word.[/QUOTE]
I did... I was commenting on that it is common to see "similar" pictures, but the script... is a bit much (pure plagiarism) I mean if he change up the words or even wrote new dialogue, he could have gotten away "maybe".[/QUOTE]
Ahh, I see what you were saying now.
I guess my issue here, though, is that he didn't just "take inspiration," he practically traced the pictures. I mean, even the lines around the mouths to show lips, and the eye shapes/hair shapes (something generally pretty unique to an artist in manga) are almost identical. I can't believe he thought nobody would say something.[/QUOTE]
Yea. In this particular case, it looks like he pretty much trace the picture. I am sure if he redraw it and look similar with unique dialogue, he could have gotten away, but this particular case, looks like just copy everything.
