Chieri no Koi wa 8 Meter - Ch. 39.1

Initially, I was thinking would the red blood cells even fit the mosquito. But then again, why bother theorizing when it got squished by the thiccness.

As far as fanservice goes, this is big.

RIP Neiro's little toe.

…would the mosquito even be able to reach her blood vessels at that size

I had the same thought at first....

I'm pretty sure her skin would be thicker than a normal human's, so a mosquito would have some severe problems with that. And the outmost layer of the skin is dead, which is the tough part of the skin that protects you from cuts and other injuries. So there are no blood vessels there.

Finally tried doing some calculation (I suck at physics). Assuming that our girls here have a bmi of 20 and the height of exactly 8 meters; according to the bmi equation (bmi=m/h^2, m=bmi*h^2 respectively), they should weight around 1,280 kg or around 2,822lbs. So yea, given the acceleration due to gravity, they should exert around 12,556.8 Newtons of force. That means just them falling on you would have an equivalent force to an American crocodile biting you. Not as much as I thought, I guess. Probably wrong tho, because of surface-volume ratio and all

Except the living skin cells still require blood flow, and dead skin can only layer so thick before it starts flaking off. We can also look to existing large animals to see that not only might they not have skin any thicker than a normal person's, but that even if they did they would still have blood vessels close enough to the surface for mosquitos to draw blood. The only problem that a mosquito might have is if everything about them is ~5x the size, right down to the size of their cells, because then the mosquito would end up choking on the blood.

For reference, the the full thickness of a blue whale's skin (dermis and epidermis) is still less than 4mm thick and then several inches of subcutaneous fat (blubber) that is counted by many as being part of the dermis, but there are blood vessels and capillaries throughout to deliver the blood and nutrients that the cells need to stay alive. If a mosquito ever decided to try sucking blood from a surfacing blue whale, they'd have no trouble doing so unless they missed the blood and went straight into the blubber.
We can also just look at how elephants are still bit by mosquitos even though their skin a 2.5cm thick.

BMI isn't a good measurement. It's more and more inaccurate the further away from average you get (and 8 m is far outside that), doesn't take body composition (muscles, fat, etc) into account, and it wasn't even meant to be used for anything other than a quick number for comparisons in one article.

Considering she looks proportioned the same as an average girl, most people who've calculated it get around 6-7 tons.
