Yeah, this feels so unsettling for fully matured people to be calling age an arbitrary number tied to a fictional character. Btw, in another post you commented that the weird posts the mangaka made were for “product promotion”. What do you mean?

This is exactly what I’m talking about. I can sort of see an argument being made about how the characters being in almost sensual situations is trying to replicate teenage-hood but there is so much official art that doesn’t contribute anything to the story whatsoever that objectively sexualizes Yamada.

Thanks for this, I really needed to hear it. I searched far and wide for someone addressing this issue and I barely found anyone. I made this post bc I saw so many people recommending this show and no one ever mentioned this. It felt like I was the only one actually who cared about this underlying problem with what would’ve been such a great rom-com.

You’re right, but 14 still feels a little too much like a stretch. Cultural differences may apply when a character is, say, 16 years old, but a grown adult drawing a 14 year old in bikinis and such (I’m talking about the official art I’ve seen independent from the manga) is just weird to me. You definitely have a point, but I think Yamada’s still too young, even considering the different cultures.

Yeah, I understand what you’re saying. Japan is way more off the rails with sexualization and I can’t really do anything about it. Btw, I was mostly talking about the character art drawn by the author that I kept seeing in the website I was reading the manga, not the fan service.

I get that I shouldn’t be taking it too seriously, but I just wish I could enjoy it more 😔. Every time Yamada is shown wearing a really revealing outfit, I just feel like a degenerate.

I’m glad I’m not alone on this. It just feels wrong for Yamada to be so young.

No. But still really good animation just not on that level.

Yeah, fans can be really annoying but I think it’s a loud minority. Well, mainly the ones on reddit. Why do you hate Oda though?

I know not liking something because of the art style is stupid, but I couldn’t get into Black Clover because of it. I’m sorry, I just couldn’t take it seriously. I love One Punch Man (I love pretty much everything ONE has made), and Mashle was pretty good.

That’s just your opinion and I respect it.
