Dawg girls can be super short and also not look like a 10 yr old that wasn't even the point op was making. There's a reason a lot of my male friends really enjoy this manga and horimiya too. They're both super sweet and all but they're also made to appeal to men.
I have no idea why other people are straight up denying the fact all the female characters in this obviously appeal to male fantasieslike it's not particularly a horrible out of pocket thing either here it's j factual lol.
ALSO I'm waguri's height and I look pretty young but I wouldn't get mistaken as a child lol. (Rintaro thinks she's a kid when he first sees her)
This been bagging so can you explain to me how do you see it as a "male gaze" and in what why do you mean it bc story was written to be "Shonen" and the mc is male so ig, you can say it male gaze but I don't see it as a bad thing bc girls are treated as human beings that have thier goals, dreams and feelings plus they are not sexualized(thank God for once) so i do not understand what you mean. I would appreciate if you answered bc im really intersted in your way of thinking
U act like u didnt read my comment cause i literally said her height factor is one of the reasons i love her lololol
Its quite interesting how yall dont see it because IT TECHNICALLY DOES cater to the male audience with it being a romance shonen. And thank you for asking because people in here have been ignoring my word instead of asking why I think that way. First off you have a male lead who suffers from trauma for being scary and intimidating so his love interest is someone who loves him for himself (his life is centered around women who find him TERRIFYING kinda similar to how reality works right? Women are scared of men and this brings hate towards men which men feel victimized by the fear they brought upon themselves: sexual assault, rape, harassment, etc. that men have done in the past and still are doing now)
im definitely not saying rintaro is one of them but because he is a representative of how men feel towards women who feel fear when it comes to men
Also some scenes are weirdly cliche and written in a very cringy way like that one scene where kaoruko was like “I am kaoruko and you are rintaro!
Thought of ur comment when i saw this reel on insta

When you put it that way, I see your point. I mean they I saw a lot of men in comments commenting about how shw is a best girl and why woman aren't like her when they aren't half of the man Rantaro is but I mostly i h more it bc I wanted to enjoy show without going too deep but thank you for explaining and I agree for most parts. I just think without those aspects i think show is very good amd sweet
That's so disappointing bro like I didn't watch the anime bc i didn't feel like it right now and it's not out where am from but too bad that they made it male gaze bc it would've been so good without it
I see what you mean but I didn't really see her that so I ignored it but when you say it like that I would say I agree
Real I read it last year and I was so excited when I found out there was an anime adaptation cause it recently just became my favorite manga cause I liked kaoruko and rintaros dynamic sm… idk if u have tiktok but ive seen videos and comments of guys saying “we dont goon to waguri!!!” AS IF ITS A FUCKING COMPLIMENT MEN ARE SO GROSS no matter how much i loved them, the fandom itself (men) ruined it for me but i cant blame them since this WAS technically targeted for young male audience
OML I JUST REALIZED LITERALLY HALF OF MY COMMENT WAS REMOVED WTF AND IT WAS SO LONG TOO DEADASS WHAT WHY DID THIS HAPPEN I PUT SO MANY REASONS AND THIS ONE WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT SHOWED???? NOW I LOOK LIKE A HATER CAUSE I ONLY PUT ONE REASON… I wasted that much time typing when 90 percent of my essay was erased lmfao
If ur curious what the reason was just go ask but if not then just forget this comment lmfao cause whats the point if u dont care im just so disappointed i didnt get to tell you all the critics of this manga when I WRITTEN A LOT
Yea i saw it and i thought it was disturbing luke yea thank you so very much that you won't goon to a minor...let me give you an apluse （￣へ￣）
This manga is so male glaze
