as a 180cm girl I'm mad that she called 172cm tall
It's definitely tall for Japan, Japan's average is like 150cm for women.
I'm in a similar situation, my country's average is about 156cm for women and men's is like 167cm or so. I always have been tall, even since kindergarten I was always the tallest one all the way up to high school, I got bullied for it as a kid though so that made me pretty self conscious about my height and try to make myself smaller without noticing hahaha. Today I'm about 182cm and that's as far as it will go since I'm already 23. To everyone else in my country I'm super tall but in Latvia i.e I'd be kinda normal since women's average there is around 170cm.
Honestly it sucks being a tall woman in a country of small people, back problems and I have to shop for "men's" clothes so that they fit me well, people looking at me weird (F anxiety), even when it comes to dating it can suck, like, it would be going well and then some women would later say we weren't a good fit physically 'cuz they were kind of "intimidated" by my height and they prefer being the taller one (as stupid as that is but it's typical of butches for the most part so, meh) or they associate being tall as a "men's characteristic" that would turn them off. So, honestly, it's really refreshing to see a story were one of the women is tall and is self-conscious about it or had to leave some things behind because of it, usually they all portray it as cool or hot for height difference. This one's relatable to me.
I await the day my 5'4 self finds a cute really tall girl thats actually a yuri girl, but eh
Also, I do think this manga exaggerates a bit, but so far the various themes seem nice. I hope it isn't too predictable
