I think this author doesnt know how girls normally interact. And not middle schoolers. He should talk to more women for reference tbh.
...I mean if its slice of life, maybe what guys thinks angel girls act like. But as a girl i must say the character interactions lack depth. It breaks the suspension of belief.
Good job for the realistic skirt lengths and the cast looks different.
It may be pointless to reply to a four-year-old post, but I thought this was insightful (the whole thing, though I only quoted part of it).
While
Akebi-chan no Sailor Fuku seems to concern the lives of female middle schoolers, I doubt mangaka Hiro worries too much about the authenticity of his characterizations. I say that because, so far as I can tell, this series is a vehicle for sexualized images of young girls.
It's a mainstream commercial product created by a male artist for consumption by male lolicons. Given that context, it makes sense that Hiro would veer away from realistic representation toward an idealized male fantasy of girlhood. To the extent that the audience could even tell the difference, I suspect they'd tend to prefer the latter.
Of course, this means that
Akebi-chan will hit very differently for readers outside the target demographic. Personally, I found what I read of it rather dull. 100% agree about the skirts tho
