Description

This month's patron requested comic! So, in Japan, talking about weight is not strange at all, whether you're a little kid or an older person. The amount of times kids have asked me why I have a tummy, or the "Good to see you, you've gained weight look how fat you are" moments, I probably couldn't keep count. The opposite is true, as we see here with Akane, the Naginata ladies hadn't seen her in months, and their first comment was on her weight ^_^;;

They don't mean it to be cruel of course, but when you grow up in a country where it's taboo to discuss weight, even after 7 years it can be pretty jarring to hear ^_^;; Sooo awwwkward sometimes ^_^;;

Help keep this comic going by supporting it on Patreon! ^_^

Enjoy!

Oooh yeah. If you wanna say I look thin, great. If you wanna say I look fat... please keep it to yourself. ^^''
