Murata is an amazing artist, but seeing that he leans in heavy on the sexualization of Tatsumaki in the remake is a shame.

the outfit is definitely suspicious.

you can do 100% of the jokes they do with a better outfit and no other changes needed since they never do perv jokes.

Murata *really* love her sexy ladies but yeah I wish he toned it down for Tatsumaki. It can be too much sometimes.

Obviously her design is lolicon first, crude "but she's just small" backstory after

Always seemed straight lolicon to me, but i haven't read the original or watched the anime, and i stopped reading the Murata manga too, so maybe she looks more like a grownass woman later on. Either way, eurgh.

I don't like the outfit myself but as a short person it's really annoying how everyone just assumes you are a minor just right out of the gate, honestly. Her body (not her clothing) is a body that's pretty standard for someone of my or smaller height.

I'm honestly not super familiar with OPM besides watching some of s1 back when that released, but as an outsider she never really looked like a child to me? She looks like a woman who is short.

There's only like 3 women in the show (including a villain) and they're all overtly sexualised. It's very sus indeed.

The joke being that her sister looks older and mature but is only like 22-24 and clueless but she's the mature adult one but is not taken seriously by the main who just sees a kid when everyone else sees a short woman is kind of funny to me. Like, everyone in this manga is either trash, stupid, or both and that's been kind of entertaining.

I think the artist gets way too fan-service with her and makes her actually sus when she shouldn't have to be - the manga is a parody of shonen and the context of the sisters fits the parody status well (see the webcomic) but the artist is like "i know we're parodying this, but I mean, this gives me an excuse to draw some titillating stuff right? Right?"

Sometimes? Like, clearly they show her sometimes in a relatively small/chibi way that's absolutely a problem, and other times when Murata goes into hyper-detail mode, she is very obviously a short lady in her late 20s. The titillation is there either way though.

I always thought that was part of the point? Much like how a lot of One Punch Man is a satire on Shonen, she is deliberately designed that way. None of the other characters seem enamoured with her or anything that I can think of.

I dont think she looks particularly young in the face anyway? There is much much much worst out there.

They are not attracted to her in universe, but she is sometimes drawn in a suggestive nature.

I looked this up and... omg it's so bad. I'm glad I dropped this series.
Apparently, we had a whole thread about him too.
