      “Hosoi cites the often-heard theory that people start to favor voluptuous body types and motherly characteristics in women during times of economic recession.”

      We can add the phrase “economic prosperity” to the likes of “justice” and “hopes and dreams” 🙏

    You know I wasn’t really aware of this series before but this certainly grabbed my attention.

      It’s originally a game series. I have a friend that is a big fan of the games and convinced me to watch the anime adaptation that aired Summer 2023 and I was entirely underwhelmed. The anime never really escaped a very obvious game structure and it kind of just felt like a less interactive version of a pretty standard game rather than an interesting story. YMMV, but I do think it telling that the series is most well known for its art and Ryza’s thighs than for exciting gameplay and engaging stories.

        Haha, that doesn’t entirely surprise me tbh. I watched the trailer for one of the Ryza games earlier today and it didn’t look like something I’d enjoy. The newer Yumia game looks like it has some potential but I’ll definitely still wait and see.
