The visual identity of Class Comics is instantly recognizable. Patrick Fillion’s art style is heavily influenced by American superhero comics—think muscular anatomy, dynamic action poses, and colorful costumes—but softened by a cute, almost cartoon-like charm often seen in yaoi (Boys' Love) manga.

The characters are almost universally athletic, handsome, and well-endowed. While critics sometimes argue the art creates unrealistic body standards, fans appreciate the "fantasy" element. The art serves as a celebration of the male form, prioritizing attractiveness and charm over gritty realism.
