I need to educate myself, it's the purging type of anorexia, which is also a stage in bulimia, or a part of it as well, i am indeed not a professional, and i think the only background i have is a project i did in my health class. Lol, i'm not good at this stuff.
The translators actually commented on this issue on their blog! In the original Korean, they use the word for anorexia instead of bulimia, so that's what they went with for the translation. https://801uranus.tumblr.com/post/158167814700
What? Was I right? Um, thanks?! Now I know to trust myself with diagnosing eating disorders. Um, jk uh, thanks nonetheless.
I want to believe that he is actually diagnosed with bulimia instead of anorexia. B/c he goes and eats a ton n' shizzle and then goes and pukes it tf up. That is indeed bulimia.
