otakulys's manga / #fat(4)

Big Jo

Ongoing | jungle julia | 2016 released

Hmmm.... I dunno. I'm always on the lookout for manga and comics with fat girls or girls who aren't considered conventionally attractive, or both, but I'm not sure how I feel about this one. So-so art, but hey, better than I could do. Since it's chopped into pieces, three chapters is like seven pages, but I do like the confused grandma at the end of every installment. We'll see how this pans out. 2.5 stars for now. ETA: Upgraded to four stars for being cute and interesting. I like how it's unfolding now that it's moving. I hate, hate, HATE the way whoever is uploading cut up the pages. That's a huge detractor and it makes it frustrating to read. But I'm glad it's being posted at all, so hey.

Edo Karuta

Complete | ame arare | 2009 released

Only read the first story. It was sweet enough, even though I hate that she randomly had to get skinny in the last two pages. But at least he loved her before and was even concerned about her weight loss. I wish he'd beat the crap out of all of the people who mocked her, though.

Prideful Slender Girl Gets Chubby

Complete | fusa syobou | 2000 released

It's kind of on the fetish side, makes me think of "feeders" and what not. But it is cute how much he wants her to enjoy his cooking. Essentially she was skinny because she'd never eaten good food, lol. My issue with it is that she now has an eating disorder. She only ever thinks about food? But, of course, if she were a skinny girl who gorged herself constantly, no one would bat an eye. I don't want to hear the "she's unhealthy" crap. But to encourage someone to eat until they're in pain is definitely weird. Feederism is a kind of control kink, and it can get dangerous.

Heroes Of Fury

Complete | murata yuusuke | 2000 released

Realistic in the sense that women's worth is definitely measured by her appearance. I wish bad things happened to all of those pieces of crap. The demon king was hot. He should have married the princess. Maybe it's not too late!
