It's also important to not discount each character's own perceptions and to realize that their feelings are valid in terms of what they want to change, and why.I guess I just love women too much. Whenever I hear the girls problem and then see their breasts I can't help but think how it isn't an issue. I'm just a body positive ally like that.
the one girl who wants hers smaller has a reasonable argument I think - she doesn't like the attention she gets, and there's the back pain issue.You know, I think I've pinpointed my problem with this story. Every single request is a regression towards the mean. Big boobs? Make them smaller. Small? Make them bigger. Big areolas? Shrink them. Fewer boobs than usual? Grow another.
It feels like the end goal for all of them is some identical shape of platonic ideal boobs or something, so by the end they'll all the the same.
Why don't we see anyone going "actually I love the idea of having huge nipples" or "can you make me a washboard?"
All the requests are basically...boring. And really kinda reinforce the idea that everyone who strays from the mean should yearn to be unexceptional.
I hope we start getting characters who want to stand out.
Exactly this! It’s never about what anyone else thinks and feels. If the girls themselves are not happy with their bodies no amount of external body positive comments will change that.It's also important to not discount each character's own perceptions and to realize that their feelings are valid in terms of what they want to change, and why.
Which, I'm amazed at how well this title handles that. The MC states as such in earlier chapters, about how he truly thinks that each girl is perfect as-is, but that they also deserve to be comfortable and to feel confident, and thus he would do what he can to help them achieve that mental place.
It's one thing to celebrate body positivity from the outside, but I'm a big fan of how the author writes the MC and characters to acknowledge how that sentiment is secondary to how the girl herself feels, and which is ultimately most important.
Learning to love oneself is essential, but he's got literal magic to help each character physically achieve a state of their appearance that helps them do that best, and the sensitivity in which the story handles that dynamic is handled way better than I'd expect for a horny manga.
My concern there is that this series is being written as if it were a harem, constantly introducing new girls who simply become part of the harem and don't move on. (Even though it also isn't enjoyable as a harem because there's a defined "chosen girlfriend" from the start who constantly gets possessive and shuts down interactions with the other characters.)It is still rather early in the series though, so I'm expecting (or at least hopeful) that we'll invariably get some differentiation as more characters (presumably) get introduced and the world expands further.
name of technique sounds like anime or manga samurai fighting
That seems a pretty "Japanese" mindset. Blend into the average, don't stick out.You know, I think I've pinpointed my problem with this story. Every single request is a regression towards the mean.
