Note to manga artists:

Your characters have feet. It would be nice to occasionally see them. None of us live in a world where we only see people from the mid-thigh up. Also please choose camera angles other than straight-on-shoulder-level periodically. It makes it look so much nicer.

(Yes, I'm going through Rumble Pak and Sakura Pak.)

*snerk* Heh. Hands in pockets and off-frame all the time is a sure sign of a lazy artist, to me. But carefully planning your poses so that the hands are unobtrusively hidden (see RUROUNI KENSHIN) is quite an admirable feat.

Then there's SORCEROUS STABBER ORPHEN whose artist is so good at hands in perspective that his characters are always casting spells directly out at the reader.
