Here it is, folks. The pristine embodiment of how to miss every single reason that a character's distinct appearance is charming, by a distance measurable only in light-years, and even then, in such numbers as to stretch the very fabric of mathematics to a reality-altering breaking point.

Splendid. Bravissimo.
While I agree with your sentiment, you have to understand that as an artist his job isn't to recreate Horikoshi's exact art style but to put his own spin on it, and yes Fuga's style is hit or miss when it comes to capturing the essence of the original characters design, especially when they aren't his own or are similar to his own style. I had similar feelings about his version of Mina Ashido, but I realize that his sharp angles and detailed shading and color style don't mesh with Horikoshi designs and the essence behind some of his characters, Fuga's version reminded me of older women who are cosplaying as younger characters, or maybe if the characters in questions matured into Marvel or DC Superheroines.
Still, I respect the attempt, but I'd likely not ask him to do similar anime/manga characters, his style lends itself better to the more realistic types of character design.
