I've dropped manga and manhwa solely because one of the love interest looks like a child. Whether it's bl or straight romance one of them looks like a malnutritioned small child.
There's also instances in a bl where the bottom suddenly looses all his body mass/muscles and is obviously smaller. I've found that this usually occurs over many chapters/seasons.
Ex) the nurse guy from jinx (i dropped it).
-what are the craziest instances yall have seen while reading

I FOUND IT, IT WAS LIVETA THATS THE ONE THAT THE UKE LOOKED LIKE A CHILD AT THE END YES
Oh the list is SO LONG. I'm disgusted and furious cause it happens so often and for no valid reason. sometimes i wonder if its an art consistency or uh deliberate? to name a few: cozy obsession, rainbow city, can't think straight, solo for two, scent and sensibility, nobara to pretenders, happy omegaverse etc. despite the story being good in some of these, that lowkey implied shotacon is so offputting.
and since we are talking about this lemme talk about the better works on the spectrum: The Pawn's Revenge, Boku no high spec kareshisama, Doutei Tora to Tsundere Usagi, etc. which despite having twinks as their protagonists, ensure that there is a distinct mature adultness to them which is nothing childlike and I'm so relieved for that. As an adult reader, it makes more sense and turns the story into a better experience.
Rainbow city. 2020. If you hate me so. The thread never burned. And plenty more.
Omg I know a story that genuinely changed the ukes appearance so badly to look more child like that he isn’t even recognizable to the cover art BUT I FORGOT THE NAME
i feel this is an obvious example but love is an illusion aka toddler time with hyesung
dude “in the deep” genuinely pissed me off. like the borderline incest was already disgusting, but the mc was so twinkishly skinny and pathetic i read like 5 chapters and dropped it out of anger. i haven’t read something with such a childlike twink but i genuinely have no idea how that manhwa kept appearing on the front page of mangago when the mc had a bmi of like 2 and a half
cry me a river....
Ok? Just for u
no I meant, the one I recently read is called cry me a river and the size difference ARE MASSIVE
Lmao. I haven't heard of it.
I'm sorry if I sounded rude lol, it's this one https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/cry_me_a_river/ you can look at the gallery under and you'll get me
Omg the art style in cry me a river makes me crack up wdym the uke thing is tiny enough to fit in ur pocket portable ukes I have no idea how people think that is "cute"
