I love love LOVE your point! It just makes me realize how much the story of apothecary diaries handles alls these female characters from the concubines, servant girls or ladies in waiting set in this era period because it shows not only how poverty and patriarchy affects ppl but how heavily it affects women especially in a royalty-military based society

I get that but they could’ve made her face a little more mature for a 17-18-year-old. But yeah makes sense

Also the way people associate “body type” with adulthood is part of why BW are hypersexulized. She is an adult in the time period idk why people want her to be a kid so badly

I fear many cannot handle nuance in a lot of media anymore. The author and the series very clearly state why she is smaller. She also doesn’t act like a child and you can tell the younger children in the series. Also…she’s 17 at the beginning of the show..she’s a young adult.

By szn 2 she's almost 19 if not already 19. When she was kidnapped at the beginning of szn 1 she 17 it's been almost 2 years by the time she's was kidnapped in recent episodes

Mao mao's body looks like mine. my body has not changed since 14. I'm 24. malnourishment does stunt your growth unfortunately. eating well after becoming an adult has not changed that. I'll always have a child's build

Jinshi points how underweight she is at one point too. One of the main theme’s is class disparity

so many people who watch TAD don't really pay attention to anything that's being shown to them or don't have common sense cause we see Maomao childhood a lot in this show and how it affect every part of her

And it’s either because they want Jinshi for themselves or they’ve never read the story. Mind you these are the SAME exact people that want strong female leads but are jumping to attack the very thing they’ve been begging for 🤷🏽♀️and when you correct them they still act DENSE.

Also, it's a proven fact that autistic people are more likely to physically look younger than they really are, even when nourished and healthy

We get it but this is an anime it has a very bad reputation with making women look like children so I don’t think it’s wrong to find it odd. It doesn’t change the fact that she looks like a child she does!

There is multiple children in the series and there is a clear distinction between maomao and them. I understand that anime is not the best when it comes to drawing grown women who look like grown women, but the apothecary diaries isn’t one of them.

The nourishment thing is so cool because it is even used in the manga and anime as a hint towards at least 1 person's true ID
