There is a noticeable difference to her physical appearance since the series started. Go back and take a look at her then and now. I much prefer the slow loss, more realistic. But for those that need that quick fix, her dreams show how she will become. So we are getting the best of both worlds at this point.
wow you're right, I checked the 1st ep, and she is different!
I'm still waiting for hetero stories to have muscular female leads. #－.－)
There actually have been quite a few lately. Can’t think of the names top of my head, but I think the most striking book was one with a knight named Pauline with short red hair. I must say, a lot of people forget that women put on muscle differently than men. Being a female body builder can be more difficult due to the biological differences. Pauline is the most striking character I can think of in a romance genre but I wouldn’t necessarily say she’s realistic at times, unless she has a higher fat to muscle ratio than want is depicted in the comics which would help better disguise the biological differences expected to see in a woman vs a man.
I also don’t understand why heterosexual has to be mentioned? I think it’s important to note that stories try to go for balance in a sense- having a masculine love interest and a feminine love interest. With GL stories, if they aren’t going with the big tits trope, they’re more likely to make one of the females masculine. As for straight romances, typically men are naturally associated with masculinity while women are associated with femininity. Balance is something the majority of writer go far if they aren’t looking hyper sexualizing characters. For GL stories, it’s going to be more common seeing masculine females because you only have too girls to choose from. As for straight romances, majority are going to give the male the masculine attributes. Does that mean there’s straight stories where there isn’t feminine male characters and masculine female characters? Of course not. It just seems rare because there’s so many varieties of straight romances. I can think of another webtoon where the female is a corporate worker in high position and an utter Tom boy. Meanwhile, her love interest is a neighbor guy who loves fashion, is more docile, has feminine interests, etc. Many webtoons and various manga in the Josie and shoutouts genre have more masculine females compared to their love interests. You just have to look for them. Sorry for the rant, just tired of this whole Herero vs Homo debate I keep seeing online. There’s many factors that go into play with these sort of debates and they’re constantly ignored.
You do have a point, the only thing is I haven't run into those. Hence why I'm still waiting, but to be more specific I'm waiting on Japanese webtoons that are in the genre of smut, romance, and josei. I've already seen it in BL and webtoons featured on the app Webtoons
ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~ I'm sure (im hoping*) there are some in existence, but me not being able to proficiently read Kanji makes me rely on translated works. I've feel like I've seen buff female characters in Korean webtoons and ENG webtoons, but I specifically want to see I from a Japanese webtoon/manga/dj. If you do remember a work pls let me know (▰˘◡˘▰)
I know how a lot of people live the fact that she’s a bigger girl, however, I feel like she would have realistically started to slim down by now to where you could see a noticeable difference between the beginning of the story and now- unless she has a condition I am forgetting about. She’s very active and if I remember correctly- she has changed her diet to some degree. And to clarify- I’m not saying I’m expecting her to be super thin and look like a super model all of a sudden. Rather, I would expect her to be closer to that in between size range between “regular” sizes and plus size. So around a size 14-22 (I say this large of a range because we all know sizing isn’t consistent. I personally can wear clothing in the range of a size 6-14). It would’ve been neat to see her very gradually slim down while building muscle mass as the story progresses. I wouldn’t even want the end result to be a super skinny girl. But rather, more of a muscular and shapely “average” build that’s not commonly seen in these types of stories. You see a lot of either obese or super slim. Seeing a more “mid-size” character that is still portrayed as beautiful rather than ugly is quite rare. Not trying to offend anyone, just expressing my thoughts. (￣∇￣")
