Chubby Representation

I think that there is not much chubby manga because Asians are mostly small like if you go to the clothing stores in Japan the clothing will be smaller than American sizes I don't think Asians find larger people nasty or anything it's just since in women it's not very often you come across a larger woman in Asia (japan, korea..etc) so is very rare ......   1 reply

Yes, i feel the same way, and I'm very frustrated because all the chubby character's that I know, are chubby because they eat a lot, but that's not for everyone I know people that are like that for a condition or it's his/her body. Because they eat the half of what I eat... I know that asian countries believe if one is chubby is because they don't ......   reply
