bc you can still be chubby and eat healthy??? That's a way better plot than this. In almost every story like this, fat/chubby ppl are always the butt of the joke & get skinner later on for fan service or appeal. This manga was ADVERTISED to an audience that finally felt like they feel represented, only for it to be stomped on in the 2nd volume that she turns skinny. is it really that hard of a concept to understand that some people want to be represented???
like i said in my comment she wasnt healthy. she wasnt eating good, OR feeling good. i ALSO said i wished she stayed with chub on her aswell because of realism but theres SO MANY other chubby mc stories that it honestly doesnt bother me if she loses weight, as long as it was well done by the author idc. also yall gotta stop thinking chubby characters need to stay chubby, losing weight in a healthy way isnt a bad thing, just like gaining weight while being healthy about it is also not a bad thing, not every chubby person/character wants or needs to stay chubby and not every skinny person/character needs to stay skinny. also the fanbase getting mad that they didnt get what they wanted is a very immature way of thinking about it imo. also again there ARE stories with chubby representation.
Mmm i think the thing that rubs me the wrong way about this sorta weightloss trope is that its always a timeskip to hotness. Like losing weight (healthily) takes a long time, and if im reading the spoilers right she's skinny by volume 2? So apparently nothing of note happened in their relationship for months and months? No character developement happened in all that time? Or she just dropped the weight suuper quick?
Like im not fussed about her losing weight since she is stress eating rather than being a person whose metabolism thinks the next famine is right around the corner. But i think id be less bothered if the weightloss happened gradually/subtlety thru the story (tho i know thats trickier to draw)
i honestly 100% agree (i havent seen any spoilers so i dont know how the weightloss journey ended up being like tho) i much prefer it would be realistic as well!
why are people mad she gets skinny? shes overeating not because she wants to but she does it to fill a sort of void, she overeats because she 'feels happy when eating' which isnt healthy for her when shes not eating balanced meals, hes giving her balanced meals, if she gets skinnier its a good thing, it means all the bad chub she got from unealthy food is leaving. and being like 'hes telling her she should lose weight' okay? and? shes heavier because of unhealthy reasons LMAO theres no reason to hate on this perfectly cute story especially not with how WELL the author is making this seem. other authors sometimes get these types of stories so wrong because of fatphobia, but this author does not seem that way at all. it just looks like a cute story where she just gets healthier (WHICH ISNT BAD) now after she loses the bad weight i would personally still like her a little chubby becasuse its more realistic but even if she ends up being skinny its FINE. its not the end of the world, anyway there are so many stories with chubby mc's go read those instead of hating this perfectly fine story.
