I was hoping this was going to get picked up! Thank you!

she doesn't look fat but i suppose it's the art style.

 

[Ciel]

she doesn't look fat at all...author pls

 

[riflow]

His older bro is a good egg.

 

[LittleMiniMe]

Oooo I'm excited to see this being translated!

 

[N2O]

She doesn't look fat even compared to the other characters though

 

[hedgemoney]

So I don't know if its just me, but Japan and I have seriously different definitions of fat. To me, she just looks like a normal sized girl. Not to skinny, not to fat. But I guess Japan's definition of Fat is anyone who isn't sticks and bones....

 

[Isekailoverrr]

Its another looks=power, huh? They didn’t even try to see if she was an actual saint

Also, those are some bold servants, asking for the same food as royalty right in front of one.

At least draw her little chubby

 

[wkread]

she doesn't look fat at all and also, what kinda assholes you gotta be to judge a girl for gaining weight after HER WHOLE FAMILY DIED????

 

[nohabody]

If being fat is such a big deal for her character, the artist should at least draw her looking fat.

 

[justforthelulz]

Older brother character is definitely a sinister mofo hiding behind a mask of benevolence.

 

[alkossovsky]

love how they literally just made her "fat" by making every other character skinny lmaoo

 

[piapple]

She's just a little thicc I don't understand the fat-shaming here.... Like if they were to make her fat make her bigger y'know

 

[chusetto]

She gives me Yotsuba's vibes (from Negima)

 

[Grinning_Idiot]

She's not even that fat though? The way her classmates were were talking about her, I was expecting her to be morbidly obese or something. She's slightly chubby, but she's definitely not so fat that it's the first thing people would notice about her. This whole thing seems kind of forced.

 

[joshguy]

@Grinning_Idiot Because if she actually was fat, then this manga would end up being even worse because she couldn't do much of anything.

 

[AiriAi]

In the color ver. she looks pretty chubby but in the manga, she looks skinny, it makes no sense but ok. It seems she gain some weight because she's in pain, I don't care if she's slim or not but I hope she'll be happy :c

 

[Akabane]

Hell yeah, have all those involved in the kidnapping imprisoned for the length of her stay. If she has to stay for years they should be in prison for years.

 

[Nylodale]

Is this a manga thing only, or are the Japanese quick to call someone fat?

I know the Japanese are skinnier in average than Americans or other people, but this isn't the first time I've seen a shoujo manga overexaggerate how chubby a character actually is. The manga of the villainess' pig follower, for example (can't remember the exact title).

I'm enjoying the story so far, but I'm not particularly fond of this overexaggeration thing.
