artstyle literally looks like any other typical japanese manga... If they look like a kid, that's on you for being a weirdo
I’ve read a lot of manga and I certainly don’t think that‘s the case. The art style is similar to others, that’s true, but the ones I’ve seen are actually depicting schoolgirls. A lot of manga has an issue with infantilizing women to a point that it veers into fetishism. I’m not saying that this particular story is fetishizing young women, but ultimately it has sexual content with (in my opinion) very young-looking girls. If you like it that’s your business, but there’s no need to be rude by implying I’m a weirdo for saying the characters look like children; I think they do, which is why I’m not comfortable with reading any further. I’m not sure what’s weird about preferring to read things that have sexual content with people that actually look like adults. Again, if you like it that’s up to you - but calling me a weirdo for saying I don’t want to read about people that look like children having sex is ultimately weirder. I’m not stopping you from enjoying the story, but if you want to defend it then you should probably have a better argument instead of pointing fingers. Happy reading!
They are fucking and somehow you associate that w/ them "looking like children", yeah you're a weirdo. They "look young" because high school is a common theme for most manga, even if those mangakas made an adult themed manga, the characters would still look the same. Nobody can just change how their artstyle looks. Stop ruining the experience for everyone else w/ your unnecessary opinions.
They look like children because they are drawn to look like children. They have big eyes and heads with small bodily proportions that is typical of how a child is depicted in most art styles. I don’t associate them having sex with looking like children, I associate them LOOKING like children to looking like children. By rejecting the idea that this topic is nuanced and not offering a valid argument in response then it’s not a discussion worth having. If my opinion is unnecessary then yours also is! Hope this helps!
Its ok bruh. Its ok. I understand your feelings. If you dont want to read this anymore, your choice. They maybe look like kids to you but they are legal (college students). They were created to be cute. And if youre reading japanese manga, sometimes its good to throw away your morals, only while reading please. I think that is why mangas are made. We can imagine the unimaginable.
Look I kinda get where your coming from honestly and I would agree that the characters do look kinda young but given that the story setting is in a college environment, the characters do match the setting. People age differently so to say but I'm taking it as barely high school graduates, maybe 2 or 3 yrs in college at most and that's why they kinda look younger. but not younger as in like a little kid (maybe exept for Asumi... but given that she's petite there's not much character design choices given her traits and profile), I think the drawing of them looking younger but not too mature is supposed to fit the timeline (college) or at least I think it's supposed to look like that. Maybe that's why I don't see them as looking like kids? I think that the author meant to draw them like that to give a more "fresh into college" look to them and younger feeling other than a mature vibe look that can pass for a "OL" because I mean like when you enter college after high school I doubt many of us come out looking mature and super well developed although I'm not saying that the character is super perfect in the setting but just give it more leniency if anything. I'm not too sure if you dropped this or not but I think you should give more thought into the setting and the plot isn't bad either so... maybe just think about it and you're always able to share with me on your thoughts about it, I wouldn't mind it if it was different since it'll give me a different p.o.v. (๑•ㅂ•)و✧
Hmm... I see and get it. The Japanese do like to draw like that tho so not much I can say. description wise explained would be like of a child but setting of story would make it otherwise. very conflicting! Lol even I feel at times there are manga's that make their characters looking too much like a lil kid and it is kinda off putting unless the character is supposed to be drawn to look so baby faced Σ(っ°Д °;)っ but most manga's always have a character trait to help you get a understanding of what and why they are drawn like that. and plus there no helping it... Japanese manga's draw more of youthful appearances to give off the "cute" in it but that's just my 2 cents... even traits given for a character looking like a kid doesn't mean that they still don't look like a kid (╯°Д °)╯╧╧but this manga doesn't look like that to me(￣∇￣"). they pushed for slight maturity drawingヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~, if anything Asumi kinda looks like a kid but not at the same time. you just have to take in what the author is trying to dish out (╯°Д °)╯╧╧and understand the drawing igヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~ it will make sense
The story is cute, the characters and dialogue are sweet. I find the plot itself is unsuited for the art style, however. I feel like all the women look like children, or at the very least underage - I don’t get the sense of maturity from people that look like schoolgirls, especially since in the past they look exactly the same (except for different hairstyles). For that reason the sexual aspect makes me feel a little uncomfortable. I totally understand that’s the authors art style, but I feel there’s a certain difference between having cutesy adult characters and adult characters that just look like children. I like it apart from that, but don’t think I’ll be able to look past the things I don’t like so much.
