Amaama-kun No Okashi Na Yuuwaku

Ongoing | tokino mitsuru | 2016 released

I feel like this author wanted to write a story about a fat girl, but she didn't actually want to DRAW a fat girl. I mean, look at this chick. Her morbid obesity is shocking. x_x Seriously, she doesn't even look slightly pudgy compared to the other characters. It's like we're supposed to use our imaginations. But whatever. If you say everyone sees her as fat, fine. 2.5 stars for now, two chapters in, because I don't like the fact that I have to worry about her eventually getting "thin." I hate stories where he finally loves her for who she is, then she loses weight anyway. Sad that like only .0000000000000000001% of manga has a lead female who isn't conventionally attractive, and of those, like .0000000000000000001% have a strong storyline and a girl who stays the way she is and still deserves love and happiness.

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.
