There isn't even a single 'bean mouth' on that page.

I know this isn't a genuine question but I'll answer it genuinely anyway.Though it appears as a western bean mouth style, the difference is that the forms in western bean mouth style are STIFF. They do not stretch or bend or exaggerate to show MOTION or anything. The western style exists purely as representative SYMBOL to feed you the gay steven universe political narrative as quickly and generically as possible.Contrast what I've described with the comic you've posted. The figures squish and stretch and do silly things with motion. There is a real sense of play and whimsy. You can tell it's draw, not to sell you a gay political narrative, but for the sheer joy and love of expressing the medium itself. They may appear as symbols but really look at how they bend and contort. There is no narrative, only the love of expression and motion.

Toriyama was a lazy artist who never did correct or complex anatomy/perspective/rendering, so I’d say his art is western adjecent

Toriyama was one of the few manga artists who barely used assistants ghosting shit like backgrounds or architecture. Toriyama was one of the best workrate guys in the business brother
