Nah I think she's just asian
short people exist too. i feel like she doesn’t look like a literally child, she just looks like a short teenager, her features are the same as the rest of the people in her class. but yeah it is definitely a huge issue in other things with some characters looking like 8 years old and being passed off as teens
Deadass the males look like teenagers and all the girls look like literal children it’s so icky
I know that short people exist but they dont look like children and they have a normal face in my opinion its just weird bc every other girls face is drawn okay and they look like a teen so why couldn't they draw her face like that and just made her short???
It wouldn't be so bad but a very short, childlike FL is almost always paired with a very tall ML. Asian guys are short, too, so why make the guys so tall? It's hard to get into a romance with a FL who looks like a toddler.
Just personal opinion but some Asian guys nowaday are pretty tall. I'm 5'0" and my boyfriend is 6'2" so quite a huge difference when I'm a 20 years old who fits right in with 5th graders . I think the story is still cute though regardless
Well we're both Asians so I guess I relate lol
Exactly!! Short people exist but the artist could’ve make her look older while keeping her height too she doesn’t fit the high school scene at all
i have met tons of short girls in high school that look really young and almost always got mistaken for an elementary school kid, realistically there's nothing wrong with this mc
ppl with baby face also exist irl so?
Help i ahve a few things to say
1. True but the combination of her being super short and having a baby face (i guess???) is not the best and it makes it look weird
2. People irl with baby faces still look like a normal teenager even if they're short (the mc doesn't sorry)
3. The main lead (and ither boys too) are like half a meter taller than her which makes it weird also
4. The author also makes her "baby face" even worse with the huge ass eyes
5. That one scene where the main lead was admiring her playing basketball, it looked like a child was playing i jsut cant
6. All the other girls look normal so why is she drawn like that...
Idk its just weird i stopped reading it bc of her i j cant
Have a good day :3
and there's also still tons of short young looking girl that always got mistaken as a minor even tho they are adult
heck i got mistaken as an elementary kid sometimes when i was in highschool, if you're weirded out by it then you do you, don't read something that make you uncomfortable but stop making it sound like the mc design is so far fetched that it couldn't happen irl when it's not, it's pretty normal especially where im from. like i literally have this one classmate who is 145 cm AND have baby face when i was 17 years old, it's not that weird and it can happen irl
Yes, short people and tall people exist, whatever the ethnicity. But extreme and often unrealistic height differences are the norm in shoujo manga, much more than they are in other media that I've seen. Also, have you looked at her head size in proportion to her body? Nearly the same ratio as an infant. That's not just a "baby face." They're drawing her as a chibi, and him as a regular person. It's the double standard that bothers me. If he was a chibi, too, there would be no problem.
Me being an asian, 4'9, petite (35kg) I know it's kinda malnourished but my body doesnt gain weight and I'm already 22 yrs old with a small head and baby face. Yes, we exist and she's our representation
Why does the author think that making her look like a literal child will make her look cuter but it just makes it weird
