Gotta be real, the art is not my cup of tea
Same. It's because the anatomy is all over the place.
And also I don't like it when a girl is basically drawn like a guy with boobs.
It all looked fine at the start. The artist can draw a good face.
I don’t like the term “Tomboy” because it implies that a girl must be like a boy to do certain things. Kase-san is tagged Tomboy and I don’t see that at all.
That said, there are women that have very male like appearances. That’s not my interest, but I’m certain that it is someone’s.
What exactly counts as a "drawn like a guy with boobs"? I don't think characters like Kase-San count as they're maybe a little boyish in appearance but she's still feminine. People have different perspectives however, because there can be muscular women that might be somewhat masculine both in entertainment like manga and in real life. Wouldn't it be insulting to say she looks like a man with boobs?
There's also some women that just look naturally boyish in real life and manga, I'm pretty certain you'd get slapped or told off if you walked up to a woman and said she looks like a guy with boobs. I honestly think you'd completely deserve to be slapped for that.
Also I don't really see how "Tomboy" is necessarily a negative term. I see what you're saying on one hand, I often see it as a visual description, but I suppose it depends on how you use the word and who is using it. I think it makes sites when websites use Tomboy to tag art and so fourth where a girl intentionally is dressing like a guy. Like Naoto from Persona or Kino from Kino's Journey.
But yeah, ultimately I think women don't have to be feminine and guys don't have to be masculine. Let people IRL do their thing and let authors create the characters they want. Edit: I hope it would be obvious but this is includes, clothing choices, hair style and length, muscle tone, makeup, and so fourth for everyone.
I enjoyed the episode of Love Live that focused on Rin Hoshizora. A big part of her character is her fear of wearing dresses and skirts, because she was teased/bullied for wearing a skirt when she was younger due to her boyish looks. In the episode some of the girls aren't able to make it to the concert in time which puts her in a position of facing those fears. She takes center stage and wears the dress that's required for her fill in position of group lead. In the end she knocks it out of the park and everyone loves her.
