haha true, I remember I once read a manga where the main character was like 170 cm and only weighted 45 kg.
In this case the manga tried to say that all body types are okay and since it is the first time I've read a shounen ai where they fall in love while one is still fat, I am going to excuse sensei and say that maybe he/she does not know how much a fat gguy weightes
When I was 170cm I weighed 45kg tho Im not particularly thin in fact muscle and bones contribute more to weight
actually asians have more body fat than caucasians, but lower BMI. which means they look fatter than average caucasian that weighs the same. also japanese are seriously like the lightest race ever, thats so crazy. 55 kg is like, fat in there. ⊙_⊙
Omg, seriously? That's an alarming underweight - even for Japanese standards o.o I don't know, but are people from Japan very fixated on their weight? Because I sure would get depressed or would at least get heavy self-doubts if I had to read about those featherweighted characters all the time - even though I'm regarded as normal weighted in Europe ~.~
Apart from the story being totally cute... but the weight issue in mangas generally bugs me quite a lot. E.g., I hate it when there's a muscular guy, 1.86 m tall (6'1"), and then he weighs like 73 kg (161 lbs). Something similar happens here: There's no way, Yoneda could weigh a mere 80 kg (176 lbs) and be this corpulent. Okay, in this case his height is not mentioned, but I don't think he's supposed to be 1.50 m (4'9") small, so... It just bothers me that in mangas the characters always weigh a lot less than would be reasonable or even physically possible.
