I wish the rest of the chapter had more for me to talk about but right in the middle of Deku doing his chain swing on Shigaraki I thought to myself “this is loving boring” and I don’t think I’ve ever had that happen as I was reading a chapter of something

She doesn't even appear in this chapter! She's underage! It's weird, yes.

The Boruto thread had a similar reaction to a recent cover featuring Sarada in a new costume:

Not nearly as bad, but still bad for many reasons.

This actually skeeves me out even more than the Hagakure thing (though that's really bad in its own way). This Boruto art reminds me of the hosed up way beauty pageant children look, where they take some preteen girl and dress them up like an adult.

Canonically, yes. Thankfully she’s never sexualized like that in the anime at least (which is by and large better than the Boruto manga anyway)

Agreed. The aspect of her being a child is part of the "appeal" there, which is extra gross.

not that putting a naked 17 year old student is significantly better but its at least not as outright pedophilic. i'm still kinda flabbergasted by that cover

Aren't they first years in high school? That should put them around 15-16, since Japan does 3 years of high school, yeah? Not that any of the posted ages make it okay, mind.

I think Japanese high schools start later, so all the first years should be 16. I think they're technically into their second year now, or would be if school was still on, so the early-in-the-school-year birthdays like Bakugo might be 17 by now.

It's still skeevy though.

Deku went through several months of training with All Might to even have a chance of passing the UA entrance exam.

Joint Training was in the winter 4-6 months after the beginning of the school year. The leadup to the war took a couple of months (as per Hawks's encoded letter to Endeavor) and Vigilante Deku was at least several weeks.

They're at minimum at the very end of the school year and possibly a little bit into the second year.

Japanese school system is six years of primary school (from 6-7 to 11-12), three years of lower secondary school (from 12-13 to 14-15), and three years of upper secondary school (from 15-16 to 17-18). Hagakure birthday is in June so she should be on the older side. She was probably 16 at the the beginning of the manga. Anyway, let's change topic.

Because it's pointless and feels skeevy and freak behavior to think it's more important than just saying "This poo poo loving sucks" and disengaging with the work.

It's probably very rare, but not impossible, that the fanservice in any manga you're reading was actually drawn by a 15 year old.
