Is this a manga thing only, or are the Japanese quick to call someone fat?
I know the Japanese are skinnier in average than Americans or other people, but this isn't the first time I've seen a shoujo manga overexaggerate how chubby a character actually is. The manga of the villainess' pig follower, for example (can't remember the exact title).
I'm enjoying the story so far, but I'm not particularly fond of this overexaggeration thing.
