Sweet, tho what's going on with the cover, why did she become thin?, naw chubby is her interesting point

With the absen of "a Bouquet for an ugly girl", she is needed

true love and a healthy diet provided by her boyfriend xD...can't get chubby if you're no longer stress eating and having a balanced meal

Aw hell yeah a new cha- Chicken tender???

 

[Rainmoarr]

People on Twitter lied and said he only got interested in her after she lost weight. I'll remember that

 

[gronkle]

wasnt expecting confession at start of volume though. at least well have some time with them as a couple

Same, I was dreading a "get thin before giving my answer" arc. Fatties deserve some loving too.

 

[Weoooo]

I knew bully girl wasn't gonna be behind it. This isn't that kind o' manga

 

[laeus]

the drama part was not well done but the romance is good

Very sweet-- mixed feeling about the slimification to follow.

I really appreciated how Omori has been portrayed in this: a real fucking character, with DEPTH and believable INTERIORITY. I don't think I've ever read/seen a depiction of what seems to be binge eating disorder the way it could actually be experienced and affect a person's psychology and physiology. And so--just like with restrictive eating disorders--I itch for our character to better meet her real needs and self-actualize! It's difficult/rare for a story to depict the dysfunction of this disorder without judging the character.

And yet, at the same time, the chubby character design is so cute and interesting and appealing--a breath of fresh air anytime a manga is able to achieve that regardless of size, but an anomoly in a fatter character.. It's hard not to be disappointed in the generic transformation results. We couldn't keep a little roundness in the face? Give her a somewhat distinctive build, even at a lower weight setpoint? I can't help but boo 😆

So, that police officer is getting some kind of suspension, right? With such flimsy evidence, he assaulted an innocent minor.

I don't mind it but i always thought the MC from bouquet was more "plain" as opposed to chubby, or even if she was a little overweight, she still didn't look that much bigger compared to the other charas in the series but it was mostly a self confidence thing too

although it'd be cute if she got a bit of 'tone'/muscles too and sharing a hobby of working out together rather than just eating and them being able to make each other strong versus any more 'serious' fights lol

I think the author kinda falls flat on that. They hinted at her being the way she is due to an eating disorder, and I doubt they'll be able to go through what someone dealing with an ED does if they wanted to acknowledge and fix it as a disorder for the remaining chapters. Kinda ironic after her whole spiel of not judging them based on superficial characteristics, she goes and ends up in the same cookie cutter mold of acceptable proportions (it feels weird, but i think they'll atleast make it something she wants to accomplish, so there's atleast a logical reason for her change).
Id imagine if there was more to this than 10 chapters, they'd introduce a character who starts and ends as fat and happy.

I think there was a shoujo romance manga called Pochami or something like that where the main chara of that more or less stayed plus size for most of the run (although the love interest was basically a chubby chaser )

My HEARRRRT

 

[Eirenneli]

For being such a short manga, is a good rush.

 

[havelmom]

what did he apologize for?

 

[W-Scarecrow]

As a chef, I get you Kurose. I cook so I can see people eat my food, and see how they react to it. Shock, giddiness, euphoria, it all hits me in my heart.

 

[potatoawards]

The vol division was awful, this shouldve been the end of Vol1

 

[cokelemon]

Are the police allowed to be this violent with minors who aren't an active threat? Wtf

Also yooo most direct indirect confession ever

 

[KimKowabunga]

PEAK

Oh that was fast let's see how the author goes about it moving on. (Hopefully a lot of fluff)
