Manhua 漫画 Costume Appreciation post! I’ve been reading 魔尊要抱抱 (Devil Wants to Hug) (which is even cuter than it sounds) and constantly wanting to share the gorgeous artwork. So here is some of it.
Devil 魔尊 #1’s Outfit #1: no outfit, just earrings and red forehead-birthmark (and fancy pants). Raw angst.
Devil #1’s Outfit #2: Feathery Display. Cuz when he’s in Beast Form, he has wings, so his outfit has to have feathers. But still show off his chest.
(You have to wait for a bath scene to see anything more than the neck, fingertips, and feet of the Protagonists.)(He has adorable feet.)
Demon #1’s Outfit #3: Covering Up All the Harmful-Cultivation Wounds While Still Being Sexy
Doting Ghost/Demon Uncle/God-Father Outfit #1: How Can We Dress Him Like He’s Just Crawled Out of the Underworld, But Still Put His Abs on Display
Big Brother God Outfit #1: Naked From the Waist Up Except for Decorative Harness and Magically Attached Shoulder-Guard-with-Cape. And birthmark-tattoos. And crazy earrings.
And it goes on and on. The art is really gorgeous, even when it's not gratuitously displaying huge swaths of masculine musculature (the hair ornaments and clothing patterns are really lovely).
The story is pretty great, too. I'm mid-way through Season 2 right now and fully enamored with every major character.
If you’d like to join in the cuteness, I’m reading it on KuaiKanManHua in Chinese, and it looks like it’s available in English on mangago.me under “Demon Wants to Hug”.
