# Categorizing Art Style
|
|
|
|
I'm not talking about some concrete categories, I'm thinking more in the direction of a crowd-sourced distance matrix on author (less data) or book (more data) level. When complete, this would make finding manga with similar art style trivial.

## Critique
|
|
|
|
**Does this even make sense?** How would a user define a similar art style? It may devolve into a distance based on tags. Therefore if at all, a distance matrix based on authors makes the most sense.
|
|
|
|
**This would require huge amounts of user input.** The work associated with tagging manga grows linearly with their number, the amount of work needed to maintain a distance matrix grows polynomially. It would never be complete.
|
|
|
|
**Authors' art style changes.** The problem with building the distance matrix on author level, is that the art styles of authors can change with time.
