The only unrealistic thing about this manga is the dude being able to lift her😭😭😭. Except if he's been hitting the gym.
Dude definitely put her down 5 seconds later 😅 He has not been hitting the gym with those forearms.

She's 5'9"... probably weighs 130lbs max given japanese diet & shown bodytype. It's easier than you think to heft that with both arms, even if you aren't especially fit.

Anyways he for sure carried her home and they were married before graduation.

(Source is I'm a lanklet who carries his wife around)

It's easy to lift, not carry across town.

It's a sweet story, but I honestly find it hard to believe that 184cm (183cm is 6 feet) is something that any guy would hate (and the circumstances of blocking shorter people almost never happens). I could see something like 6'5" being bothersome. I also understand you feel like a giant in a country where the average height is shorter if you're 6 feet or taller, but unless Japan is that vain, I can't see only 6 feet being something people ostracize someone for. That's just a little taller than normal, not "he's a freak".

I mean, yeah they are tall, but nothing alarming or unusual.
It's all relative. Simple Google search shows:

In 2019, the average height of adult men in Japan is around 170.8 cm (about 5 feet 7 inches), and for women it's 159.5 cm (almost 5 feet 2 inches)

Both are quite a bit above average. Neither is going to be a professional basketball player, probably, but they are certainly markedly taller than most of their peers.

This felt centered around a really Japanese cultural thing. Like giving up on buying the towel because someone behind him was asking about it. A queue is a rather simple institution, where those who arrive sooner beat those who arrive later. If you don't want to lose, arrive sooner. It's that simple, so there's zero reason for anyone to feel bad about anything, unless you feel pity toward some 5 years old child behind you. But I can totally see the Japanese do it. Even though Japan is also the place where in grocery stores a horde of housewives trample to death any virgin shopper that happens to be too near when the shopkeeper unveils the discount items.

If Japanese school teachers could demand an exceptionally tall student must shrink shorter, they would totally do it. After all, they have demanded a foreign-heritage student must dye their hair dark, to match the Japanese students. Maybe in a sports-oriented school a taller student would also be respected by the teachers and other students.

177 for a woman is definitely tall, and Japanese men are usually shorter. Also, how is 6’1 not tall? Its not freakishly tall, but its still considered being tall
okay, than this might be because I live in germany. 177cm is not that tall here in germany

does anyone knows how to download manga from sunday-webry.com ? it's more work to screenshot them one by one and cropping them. the image quality aren't that good either
You can open the inspect menu (Right click then "Inspect") then click on "Network" and reload the page. you should now see a lot of links, look for the ones with "cdn-img" at the start of them, those are the pages. EDIT: Sorry i just realized that the images are scrambled

If you haven't solved this problem yet, try this (using a chrome-based browser):

  • Press F12 to open the developer tools panel.
  • Open the "Network" tab.
  • Select the "Img" filter button.
  • Open/reload the chapter's page.
  • Look in the "Name" list for the image files. I did a quick test and they probably have names similar to "blob:https://www.sunday-webry.com/6fa25f0c-ff22-4881-82ec-54c8edb4c038". You can view the image in the "Preview" tab of the panel that appears when you select an item from the list.
  • Double click the name to open the full image in a new tab.
  • As you scroll through the manga, new images will be added to the list.
I tested using Vivaldi with this random manga and it appears to work:
https://www.sunday-webry.com/episode/2550912965726127608

That approach should work for most websites.

Good thing he wasn't 200 cm tall. Against people like that, you'd really feel small unless you're around 190 cm yourself.

Anyway, too bad this is just a oneshot.
I'd love to read more of it.
