I can't really blame the mangaka tho. They also need money for living. In order to have that, they would need to stick to the "mainstream" to compete with other manga instead of sticking to what they know would flop. I mean, you can't earn money if there's no person (who have that kind of preference) who is willing to buy your manga. Right?   1 reply

I AGREE! I read pochamani which has a chubby female lead character and I think they represented her fairly well. She was first insecure but now she isn't because she feels confident and knows weight isn't everything (not cause she lost any of it). BUT the male lead i didn't like. He was obviously the 'most attractive male' in the school and every g......   3 reply

There are a few chubby shoujo manga and BL manga out there, but not enough. Most chubby girl shoujo manga ive read were like 1) gets abused by a hot man (chubby/fat cinderella was the name of this manga and the hot guy was a D*CK) 2) 'lose weight' which sucks (E.G.Hoppe Ni Himawari (Yaoi) ) 3) AN AWESOME MANGA 4) usually the word 'pochari' can be......   reply

The problem is, you're seeking something that would be very hard to find in general. The Japanese scorn excess fat and obesity, it is seen as unhealthy and the body is treated like a temple. This is shown in the great lengths they go through in order to maximize their potential as a human being; physically and mentally. Koreans are the same in this......   reply

Yes, i feel the same way, and I'm very frustrated because all the chubby character's that I know, are chubby because they eat a lot, but that's not for everyone I know people that are like that for a condition or it's his/her body. Because they eat the half of what I eat... I know that asian countries believe if one is chubby is because they don't ......   reply

Usually the chubby characters are the ones that want to lose weigh or change their appearance. Because they were bullied and lack confidence in themselves. So when someone who they consider is way out of their league wants to date them. They starting doubting them and questioning why. They feel the need to change and get better. You see cute chara......   reply

What you say is true. As some of the other answerers pointed out, I feel that American and European comics represent heavier characters more often. Might I suggest the comic series "Jem and the Holograms" Published by IDW comics. It's a rehash of the old TV cartoon from the 80s of the same name. It has the most diverse cast of body types out of an......   reply

It's not only a cultural thing, but it's a large issue in japan (specifically, but it's everywhere) where media and literature devalue body image (like whitewashing, for example). In the west, we are made conscious of the strides in highlighting the vicious, self-perpetuating cycles that hamper body image and speak openly about ridding of beauty st......   4 reply
