I like how we're getting a bit of fat representation in manga BUT I hate how it all revolves around her weight. I can't put my finger on it but it just doesn't vibe well with me. It's like finally giving a chubby person a lead role but making their whole character about being fat and the love interest falls in love because of the fact that she's fat. The whole point of representations is that we normalize it not fetishize it.
I like that it's currently focusing on why she's with Tagami in the first place though. A lot of em chubby mc stories are about the girl falling in love with the guy only because he loves her. Here, Mugi explores where her feelings for Tagami come from to make sure that she's not with him just cause he's interested in her.
