Negi draws the series with above average level of details, with high contrast, expressive use of objects, creative panelingl, and immersive backgrounds.[5][6][7][8]

Character Design

The characters' overall design are sharp and more realistic looking: they have varied facial expression,[6][9][10][11] the outfits are drawn properly (sometimes become the main focus of the page),[5][6][7][12][13] and their body language is always on point.[14][15][16][17]

Background Character

Most of the background characters have a good amount of details: their eyes are drawn (as opposed to just silhouette),[18].[19][20][21] have distinct emotions,[19][21][22][23] and each of their activities are shown.[22][24][25][26]

Setting

Background settings/scenes also drawn precisely, and small details (such as the leaves on a tree, random items in the surroundings, or faraway objects) are recognized in a glance.[27][28] One of Negi's unique traits is highly detailed & realistic looking shoe panel. See Negi's Shoes Panel
