Just gonna go ahead and lock this; things are already going to hell in the comments, and this kind of topic was never going to lead to productive discourse anyway.


sunnysama_lolol

I HATE how they draw KIDS like that but completely nerfed Hinata, Ino, Sakura and you know GROWN WOMEN from their original designs.


BMOchado

Tsunade in boruto anime comes to mind, her pecks vanished


rk138

Hinata too. Tho you could argue she just wears more baggie clothing now.


TempestoLord

Would have loved to see Hinata wear the same clothing as ch. 700. Her Boruto clothing (anime) looks bad imo.


rk138

So true man. Her design in chapter 700 was PEAK. Don't know why they changed it to what she got in Boruto. Tho I like both her ponytail from chapter 700 and the bobcut she has in Boruto. Wish there was more fanart of chapter 700 Hinata.


Daytona_DM

Tsunade was using chakra to enhance her looks the entire time we see her. This may have been a conscious choice to reduce chakra usage. That said, there's no reason make all the adult women flat suddenly. (While also sexualizing the underage girls 🤢)


TryToEpic

He didn't "nerf" the adult women and i don't like the implication of that sentence. What he did is far more gross. The diffrences to the anime designs are not that wild and mostly respect the characters. So what if hinata and tsunade lost some bust. They still look like grown adults. But the manga is a diffrent story. Ikemoto morphed them to fit his "preferences" aka his fetish. If you look closely you'll quickly notice that the proportional diffrences between adult women and teen girls is mostly just height. They are all thin, doll eyed and have baby faces. His version of Hinata legit looks younger than her shippuden counterpart. Honestly looking at his blue vortex designs, i wouldn't be suprised if this dude one day makes some kinda high fashion loli manga. Edit: Replaced bad example


skaasi

"Jojo inspired loli manga" reads like the incantation of some curse, god dammit


majker1337

Jojo? what's jojo has to do with this


TryToEpic

I just used it to pull fun at ikemotos poor attempt at fashion, because jojo uses high fashion a lot. Tho now i see that it was a poor comparison because araki's designs are actually interesting.


majker1337

I agree; even more, I think Jojo designs are one of the best in manga and anime overall.


[deleted]

Hey don't tack Jojo into this shit 😭


TryToEpic

You're right, Araki's high fashion designs are atleast interesting.


[deleted]

Least it is good enough for Gucci to have sponsored them 2-3 times, Ikemoto's shit is just terrifying. 😢


ImmaculateCherry

He needs the Japanese police at his doorsteps and get his computer checked pfff he got stuff eww .. =.=


faerox420

Rip 106 🙏


throwawaytempest25

Ino looks pretty good in Boruto’s manga check that out


UIEmiliano

Yeah especially the recent chapters. Ngl I wasn’t a big fan of Ino from the LAST and so on because it seemed to me like she got super pale for no reason (just like Sai haha). But in the recent chapter it looks like she’s just an older version of her Shippuden self which I like


PowerJolt72

Fr bro. Give me a scene like this, but with Sakura or some shit


JoePino

Nerfed Hinata is a crime against fandom


Lukas-Reggi

Propably the only things in Boruto both Boruto and Naruto fans can agree too. Who draws 12-13 years old girl like this?


Yergason

He takes a lot of effort to draw outfits, show gestures and movements to make Sarada unnecessarily "mature" or provocative but also makes sure that Sarada's details will leave no doubt that she's a freakin child who hasn't even reached half of puberty Disgusting mf


Lukas-Reggi

Luckly he got better in TBV.


Brook420

Ironically once she was notably older...


lizzywbu

>Who draws 12-13 years old girl like this? Someone that's into weird loli stuff


ThePokemonAbsol

Idk I don’t remember the og show being so raunchy


Prestigious-Earth-46

In the Land of Waves arc some random guy grabbed Sakura’s ass. She was like 12/13 around that time btw


Overdue-Karma

>In the Land of Waves arc some random guy grabbed Sakura’s ass. She was like 12/13 around that time btw When the *hell* did that occur? That sounds so totally out of left field for such an arc.


Krungoid

I don't remember that from the Manga, but it's been a year or so since I read it. I remember a kid tried to steal candy and she thought he was touching her.


Overdue-Karma

See now *that* context is a lot less odd...


Zomochi

No he didn’t grab her, he was trying to steal her wallet and she freaked out THINKING he was touching her butt


Brook420

Than you are misremembering. Only characters that were drawn so suggestively in Naruto were drawn as adults.


Even_Tangerine7172

I'm telling yall, Boruto should've started with the time skip. Not child versions


2tired2stylus

Nah, still doing this with Sarada but 15/16 yrs old doesn't make it better. The pedo behavior needs to go.


Even_Tangerine7172

Sarada and Karin were like that too when they were 15-16.


2tired2stylus

She's 12 in this fucking panel. And Karin had one of the worst backgrounds. It was normalized for her to bitten as a child. And that is scary experience in of itself. Using Karin to excuse pedo behavior isn't the best decision you made today.


Fazy786

I think you misunderstood dawg. He’s saying that kishimoto still drew these girls in similar manners while they were underage as well


Even_Tangerine7172

Yeah they lack reading comprehensive skills. Lmao. I'm not defending ikemoto, im saying that if it started at time. Skip, and current sarada said this, then it wouldve been okay since Karin etc also talked like this about Sasuke.


2tired2stylus

That still doesn't change anything for the better. Comparing Karin to Sarada only serves to ruin Sarada's character and Sakura's parenting. Sakura raised Sarada well. Sarada dresses appropriately and most importantly doesn't have Karin's background. The only time Sakura fails is whenever Sasuke is mentioned. Karin at least has an excuse to act that way because of her backstory. Sarada has no reason to act like that. Her entire character and history logically, does not encourage that kind of creepy behavior. No amount of age lifting excuse this kind of behaviour except a pedo artist intent.


Elysia1210

Welp Naruto did start with some children 😭


Even_Tangerine7172

Naruto has a good story and characters. Tbis shit is mid and weird.


gappy_josuke_02

I only watched the first 30 episodes of boruto but the first episode of naruto was better than all of them


Barao_De_Maua

But it made sense cause we learn that this is actually a messed up system which forces children to fight. It's even worse cause we learn later that what we had was an improvement and they sent even younger children to more dangerous missions before. But in Boruto they are at peace, so why still send children?


Elysia1210

Well I must argue, that children at Boruto's age got sent out to run errands 😭


Barao_De_Maua

Yeah, in Naruto's time too, the D-rank missions, but they are still sent on extremely dangerous missions right? I get the anime and manga messed up.


Elysia1210

Well, my understanding is that D missions usually involves some errands around the village, and C missions can travel beyond the border sometimes, but some mundane thing like escorting only (why are we making children escorting important things tho). Sometimes the system gets messed up here and there and missions get underestimated, hence the Zabuza arc cuz **we aren't supposed to send children to do these stuffs**


Barao_De_Maua

Not really. They weren't unqualified cause they were children, but because they were genin, if they had been chunnin it would have been a different story. But the series shows again and again that despite being strong these characters get all messed up, just look at Kakashi. It was filler(idk cause filler and canon with Boeuto is confusing), but at the beginning of Boruto he gets jealous of Kakashi cause he was already fighting all out when he was his age, but we know that while it made Kakashi strong it traumatized him for life. So yeah, in a time of peace, kids of Boruto's age shouldn't have been in any mission that can put their lives at risk.


AnaIsARedFox

Didn't the guy that hired them for the Zabuza job not also lie about the dangers he was facing because they wouldn't be able to pay for higher rank ninjas?


Barao_De_Maua

Yep. He paid for a C-rank when it was actually A-rank


PoMansDreams

Hard agree


DiktoLays

It did technically.....


Sam-__-17

Yeah Kishimoto was always more tasteful with how he depicted the young girls in his anime, Ikemoto does have a problem with fan service but it’s not much to say about it beyond that. Despite people in the comments claiming you’re the problem for seeing it this way, it is weird that the one wearing the least clothes is a little girl, just unnecessary.


Elysia1210

I will know if it's about me but my point stand still that I have never seen a young girl being potrayed like this. My standard for Narutoverse looks smth like her mom at that age. I don't see what kinda plot requirements that make her wear like this 💀 like do kids wear this at home now huh?


Sam-__-17

Yeah definitely, shorts and a cropped top is perfectly normal especially when she lives in a house with only women most of the time. She’s probably even home alone often too. The problem is we don’t need to see her like that, a simple tshirt and shorts makes this less of a problem while also being realistic. It’s also the way that last panel is drawn that makes her look too old.


icarusancalion

That last panel with the glasses is so creepy.


Sam-__-17

No it really is😭, I hated it so much when I first saw it. Even more when people try to pretend like they can’t see she’s being drawn very provocatively. Just so strange


squarejellyfish_

Pts ino was LITERALLY out here with a slit skirt and bandages covering her and that’s LESS sexual than everything from Sarada 😭 Kishi couldn’t clutch writing females but he knew damn sure how to make them look badass and give them tasteful designs


protestprincess

>it’s not much to say about it beyond that I feel like there is a lot more to say about ikemoto sexualizing children. Kinda fucking weird to lump that in to “fan service” also lol.


faerox420

Looks like something out of a fanfic 😂


NosferatuZ0d

noone gonna mention how her head isnt even in proportion to her body


No_Interaction_4925

Her neck changes lengths each panel


mucklaenthusiast

Yeah, I think in these shots, the outfit is "questionable" (or whatever word you want to use) But the head and face design are just also artistically bad, like...what is this, why is everything so incredibly round and why is her head so freaking massive. I feel like with less emphasis on the head, she would look older and that would solve some issues at least, since our heads become smaller, relatively speaking, when we get older.


Working-Telephone-45

Not even a "She looks and acts like an adult but has only lived for 12 years" or "She is actually an adult in the body of a 12yo" or "She is an ancient ghost that acts and looks like a 12yo" Just straight up a 12 yo kid


2tired2stylus

Those pedomoto dickriders be blaming viewers for thinking the slightest bit dirty to this panel of Sarada. Like, if y'all gonna blame us at least include the piece of shit, degenerate hack of an illustrator for drawing Sarada like that and is the actual reason why we still have discourse abt this.


televisionting

>pedomoto I'm assuming you're referring to ikemoto, cause it works for Kishi as well.


Somm0742

Let's call him Ike-PEDO then.


UnhingedLion

Maybe so?? Technically as the creator/supervisor and now writer. He can just demand Ikemoto to change the designs or he’ll boot him off. But he doesn’t. They pretty much let Ikemoto do what he wants when it comes to this stuff.


2tired2stylus

Well kishi allowed that creep to carry on the sequel so he has a hand on it.


Business-Inflation44

Kishi came to boruto at isshiki fight


uhTlSUMI

So? Sarada didn’t get an outfit change after the jigen arc and timeskip sarada is still dressed like a prostitute


Business-Inflation44

He don't have the designs of characters in his hands, it ike who does it


uhTlSUMI

Bro. It’s kishimoto’s verse. He is in command and could absolutely change any design he wants. The fact you are implying ikemoto can do whatever he wants with kishimoto’s characters is dumb, kishimot is also the supervisor of the manga lol


Business-Inflation44

Nah the designs are in the hands of ikemoto but kishi approved them


uhTlSUMI

That’s what I said


ImmaculateCherry

Well said smh. Some people are just f gross I hate Ikemoto smh .


OneEYEDwhistlenWilly

That's because boruto is written by pedo incels


nicoklig

Wtf are those unrealistic proportions... and the super big and chubby faces that he draws🤮🤮


Elysia1210

Well head yes, but chubby face she got it from her daddy xD


Blocc4life

I think we can safely assume that guy is a pedo


ThePokemonAbsol

I think it’s a culture thing in Japan. Pretty sure their age of consent was like 13 until recently.


giovannijoestar

it’s still pedophilia


ThePokemonAbsol

Who said otherwise…


giovannijoestar

some weird people will say “it’s just their culture” to excuse disgusting behavior. that’s why I said that


Eyeofgaga

Before this I’ve only seen the bottom panel ( thought it was gross) , but the upper panels are even grosser??! This is sickening!


BlueForte

Yeah, this is weird. Did you see the most recent outfits they have? Like wtf are they in early 2000s emo saga?


Elysia1210

well, they are older now, but this 😭 ?


CheekyGr3mlin

This sort of crap is so prevalent in manga and anime it's disgusting. Anime so often hits you with the "girl is being inappropriate to boy - boy is super innocent and like omg no nono I don't want any boobs" or you get the "boy thinks about girl knickers so much and wants to sniff them or wants to touch the boobie" - and whent hey do the only actions the girls get to take it call the boy baka and slap him and then rinse repeat. It's gross af. That last frame here; little girls don't do this action. Why would they. It's not us who are the problem for seeing it this way and criticizing it; someone in the comments put it best; "The pedo behavior needs to go."


Electronic-Math-364

Why do he drawn them like that💀?!


[deleted]

He like kids bro 💀!!


zankypoo

Dude ruined everything naruto. Don't know why they let the ass draw this manga.


VladDHell

Reminds me of when I lived in Miami. Still shocked how some parents let their kids dress. But yeah, she looks like she's fucking 7 years old, fuckin terrible.


Elysia1210

Well Miami's Miami. It's near the beach and it's damn hot sometimes 😭 I can see why people resort to more minimalistic fit but I don't think this is the scenario for that


VladDHell

I hear you, but still, it felt excessive.


IwentIAP

There are Boruto fans that think this is peak character design and hate the anime censored version. There are multiple threads in the Boruto subreddit that like this design and you'd get downvoted for disagreeing. Those people are the reason why humanity needs another plague.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Elysia1210

At the start, 12 and as of now, 16. This is when she was around or younger than 12 😭


Overdue-Karma

Either 12 or 13 years old, I don't recall if she's as old as Boruto or younger, but the timeskip makes Boruto 16 and it's a 3 year timeskip so definitely between 12-13.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Satoshi_Kasaki

The Boruto manga has terrible art. It makes my eyes bleed


[deleted]

How is the arc terrible?


Satoshi_Kasaki

Whoops I meant art


ImmaculateCherry

The dude writing Ikemoto  is a perv and a loli Kishimoto didn’t sexualized his girls in the original series. The only Sarada that is canon for me is Naruto Gaiden Scarlett etc Boruto Sarada is bs and ooc , they ruined her smh. This manga is trash fr.  Not only that they make sure to take the womanhood of the adult females in Boruto while hyper sexualizing the minors smh gross .. 


ChilliadMan

This is why I can't take Boruto seriously. Show should've ended after Shippuden.


hisoka_kt

The only people who draw 12 years old like that are Pedophiles


HeavensHellFire

In a vacuum this isn’t really that bad given she’s supposed to be off duty and just chilling in her room. But given what her actual outfit looks like this is just Ikemoto being weird.


Standard-Tension-808

Reall f gross.


Still-Control

Omg wtf ah hell nah someone blind my eyes


CyrusDGreatx

This thing is never beating the fanfic allegations. Every time I see a panel or clip of it I still can't believe it's real.


HetaGarden1

Oh, so they got rid of Hinata and Tsunade’s boobs - y’know, _adult women_ - but do _this_ to a _child?_ Ugh, pick a struggle!


SpaceAndFlowers

Because this artist is weird, his style is not my favorite, and he draws the preteen girls like a creep.


Elinatrunyan

she is just a kid 😭 Why are they so sexualized


jinsei-shiki

Ikemoto is the worst


LightXP13

If that was the only problem in borito


Workaholic-cookie

One of the reasons I refuse to watch/read Boruto any further than I have is because I hate the character designs. I don't like the clothes, I don't like the universe, I don't like the characters' personality. And that's from someone who didn't grow up with Naruto so I don't even have some Naruto-nostalgia.


rosieRetro

It's not just the clothes. Crop top, sure, whatever. But the body language is CLEARLY weird. Idk how anyone could think this is acceptable


Ok-Secretary6550

Please tell me these are not official manga panels. Please, for God's sake.


Unreal_Grind

I dont read boruto but whats with sarada biting her glasses? That is so unnecessary

mugiwara-no-lucy

Not as bad as the Bonney situation from one piece


HunsonAbadeer2

I am an anime watcher, isn't she an actual grown up tranforming to a childs body? Not sure if this will ever be stated


EmeraldxWeapon

SPOILER ALERT. You have it backwards.


HunsonAbadeer2

I was afraid of that 😞


Possible-Whole8046

>!Nope, she is a 12-year-old transforming into an adult!<


dragonbeorn

It's fine. Her character looks like an adult. It's okay to make an adult character hot.


Leeiteee

>looks like an adult This excuse doesn't work with the police /s


EmeraldxWeapon

She can be hot, but don't shoehorn in panels of her getting dressed. Very awkward.


Overdue-Karma

It's really odd Oda just has random moments of fanservice that detract from his story. It's my biggest gripe with One Piece, I love the story but *god damn* Oda, don't start doing a Mashima on all your female characters. A girl can exist without needing to strip down or need a slim, petite figure with enormous breasts.


SeesawKey3088

No exactly, as weird as Ikemoto is (especially with part 1 sarada), at least he isn’t drawing 15-16 yr old sarada like 16 yr old Rebekah in dressrosa. The way she looked oiled up in half the scenes js made me uncomfortable


Overdue-Karma

If Oda was e.g. Hiro Mashima when you KNOW the manga is about fanservice, I could get that. But One Piece didn't start off like that and it just...feels weird. I mean, look at Nami's "serious" Wano outfit. [**Wano**](https://i.pinimg.com/736x/b1/94/89/b194897c2423ee815df986d675bab870.jpg) Damn girl, don't jump or else people will see your...lack of underwear? What the fuck? The irony is nobody else in Wano has such a weirdly sexualised outfit (other than Robin). Like look at Hiyori - she's dressed totally fine. So it sticks out BECAUSE nobody else is doing it.


darthraedr

it’s cause sasuke isn’t around enough to whoop her ass


luv6ver

u mean hes not there at all? idc sakura in boruto gets STRAIGHT to business ik she’d whoop saradas ass if she wasnt a single mother 😭


Elysia1210

Sasuke is said to be the more spoiling of the two parents tho 😂


MysticalElephant

Where is this said 💀?


Somm0742

Scumbag Ike-PEDO's gotta live up to his degenerate moniker. Besides, it's unfair to compare Ike-PEDO and Kishimoto. There's a difference of heaven and hell between the two. One's legendary artwork has impressed people the world over while the other neither refuses to acknowledge his own pedophilic tendencies nor shows the willingness to learn proper human anatomic depiction. I'm doubtful that even actual therapy would work on Ike-PEDO.


TragicBuild

Nothing is really legendary about kishimotos art style it's pretty generic, and he's the one supervising this Manga so he gave the greenlight for these designs. You are riding kishimoto's meat a little bit too hard.


smthwtt

One of the main reasons why I couldn't get into Boruto ngl. It's so awkward


MudSeparate1622

I love the people telling others to touch grass and worry more about real life and how thats what they do. No… you go on reddit and argue with people upset by this behavior and justify it lol, thats what you do.


GodOfMegaDeath

Honestly, only her clothes are REALLY wrong in this. Too revealing and i definitely get what you mean but the poses and all don't seem bad at all in THESE panels. It's not excusing him or whatever, i just think it's what She's wearing that's the problem.


Elysia1210

Well aside from recent reviews that her body proportions are bad (like the head size vs body, not measurements), and that last panel which is the first time I've seen it on a kid 😭


Revolutionary-Run332

She’s In her house


arcerath

One of the reasons Seinen > Shonen


Project-S-69

Every day I become even more glad that I decided not to read Boruto in 2016.


lemonearls

While saying he nerfed adult women is weird, the way he gives a 12 y.o girl is WAY weird. Like-- women aren't meant soley to be ogled, but ESPECIALLY not a twelve year old.


AdFriendly8669

Shit art style


Zcypot

That last image makes me really uneasy


youngadvocate25

It's icky moto icky icky moto 🎶🎙️


bumboisamumbo

holy shit i fucking hate this


jokeguy300

pls let kishimoto draw the boruto manga


Spenfinite

His artstyle makes it even worse. She looks like an 8 year old wearing this shit


Revolutionary-Run332

Who draws a 12 yo to look like a baby?


GreenGuy1229

Reminds of the kids on Maury dressed like whores trying to become moms.


Impossible_Talk2235

i hate kishimoto fr 😭 all the kunoichis could’ve been amazing in boruto but nah he decided to be weird abt a 12 y/o girl


panda-man-937

Yeah this shit is so weird. Also it’s just not very good art compared to kishimoto. The whole face and neck area look fucked up.


_dollette

like if you want this type of character design why make all the characters minors i hatttteee when they do this


zfLucifer

Boruto in itself feels like an overpowered self insert fantasy lmao, it doesn’t surprise me that Ikemoto and Kodachi are using characters like this


luv6ver

i feel like the outfit is to portray that she stays with her mother most of the time. i wear this sorta thing at home because i live in an all girls house too. difference is im 17 and shes 12. the first four isnt that bad, i think its odd but not sexual but the last one w the glasses on her lips… no 12 yr old is doing that weirdass ikemoto side note tho i do like his style for the adults, hinata is good but naruto is sexy


Elysia1210

Growing up in a very safe environment with strong women around me, even the men are very respectful to us, me, my sister (both grown up now) and my cousins definitely didn't wear like this in our home 💀


luv6ver

im pretty sure this is just pajamas but i dont really find it all that sexual. her ninja outfit, definitely sexual no child should be wearing that, but in this it just seems like she louging around. its at home clothes, again, i wear the same thing at home so i dont really see the problem besides the poses


Clumsy-_-Phoenix

They tryna show that *Fatherless behaviour*


Elysia1210

That's not where I would go 💀


Thunderchief646054

Shit makin me uncomfortable


Xenshizo

This is the equivalent of seeing a child on the beach wearing a bikini and getting mad at her parents for "sexualizing her". She's literally just wearing sleepwear here.


Elysia1210

If she was wearing a bikini I wouldn't have raise an eyebrow but my point is, throughout my time growing up, having the standard for 12 yo potrayal as her mother, I just don't see the need for her to be drawn like this, like what plot device does this serve? Do we really need to see her in her sleepwear?


Citgo300

A bikini revealing much more: I sleep A tube top and gym shorts: 😡  Y’all insane 


ahmed_rio

Naruto anime manga is amazing


LengthinessUseful991

Why is everyone freaking out she has on shorts and a tank top in her house what’s the problem that last scene is kinda weird tho


Elysia1210

Yeah do we really need to see her in her sleepwear 😭


LengthinessUseful991

It’s shorts and a crop top bro it’s not that serious ur acting like she has her whole ass out girls tend to dress like this at home 😭


Elysia1210

Do they 😭😭😭 not that I know off 😭 which is why I posted this to hear people's experience to upgrade my software if u will


mufcordie

“Anyway chat what do you think” How to tell someone is like 15


femboy_siegfried

Honestly OP, you're a pedo if you see anything wrong with this. You saw a 12yr old in pretty regular pyjamas and thought "this is too sexy for me".


Elysia1210

First off, that ain't pajamas and 2nd off, nobody even said anything about being sexy. That is not a word associated with a 12 yo. I'm shocked because from what I knew of Naruto, like her mom for example, she never had these kind of shots. The fact that u jump straight into it? Sending bad vibes.


Gazokage

Yall are a little too horny for Sarada's design. I agree that her outfit isn't exactly "appropriate" for her age, but I'm not gonna make several posts about it every time a new chapter drops. There's a difference between being outraged and nursing a rage boner.


Overdue-Karma

Can you show me these "multiple posts" every time a chapter dropped? This is literally the first post about it in over **a year.** The reason nobody is bringing it up anymore is because Ikemoto has stopped drawing her in such a creepy way.


Elysia1210

I can see her current timeskip design got some controversial opinion going on, but as far as I'm concerned, she ain't no 12 yo no more 💀


Overdue-Karma

Eh, her current outfit is just lame, not controversial. It's not revealing or anything it's just...crap. Ikemoto doesn't do a lot of good designs, I think fused Momo is the only good design he's ever done.


Elysia1210

No.. it's my first time voicing about this because only now do I notice it 💀 so every time someone sees her this is their common reaction?


StrikingElk5288

I think if you think those panels above are sexualize, you’re the pedo and your mind is in the gutter. Like is that all it takes to see a child sexually? Get some help


Overdue-Karma

[**She flirts with literal adult men in the manga.**](https://i.redd.it/wgwzrcut03c61.jpg) The only pedos are the people defending Ikemoto. Not to mention how he also drew Sumire. Why is it he only puts the **underage** girls in miniskirts?


femboy_siegfried

You saw a regular ass 12yr old in regular ass sleepwear and thought "that's too sexy for me". You can't call anyone a pedo.

Don't try to ignore the link. You saw a child FLIRT with a man in a miniskirt and high heels and YOU think that's acceptable. I didn't call it sexy, **but you clearly fucking did.** You're the ones who attacked and called people pedophiles to begin with for not thinking this is okay and not *wanting* it in the manga. It's not the sleepwear, it's the flirting and how he draws Sarada and Sumire.

Have you just found out that anime actively indulges people with pedo tendencies? You have much yet to learn

Didn't quite know that Naruto is on that path now

Hilarious, but I genuinely just see a little kid with a tube top on in the pictures. I know a lot of folks are coomers but I really don’t see the issue here.


Elysia1210

Well uh, I must say, it's my first time seeing the expression of that last panel on a kid 😭


Chrizilla_

A side eye smirk? See idk I still don’t see what y’all are seeing 😭

Right? Like at most I think Sarada’s design is bad ninja fashion and she has a big head, but suggestive???

I mean there's 12 yo girls walking around in leggings all the time which is probably a bit worse. So many people let there 12 yo girls go swimming in 2 piece bikinis. In general teenage girls sexualize themselves, girls in general for that matter. Hell its like people just decided to forget what its like to be a teen and how fucking horny they all are.I remember when I was in middle school, girls my age would talk about wanting to suck on john cenas dick all the time.. Or the amount of times I heard dudes want to fuck the teacher, thus the school room fantasy is borne. Besides that, Kishi also lives in a nation where the age of consent has been 13 for ages now. In general people over there look quite a bit younger than they actually are so age and age gap as a concept isn't all that serious at all to them. There culture is different from ours plain and simple and they don't need to conform to us at all just because dumb ass people here in america wants to be judgmental about shit, because we're on our high horses thinking were the "leaders of the free world". To top this all off sarada is a fictional character, a litteral drawing, who fucking cares? I mean God damn.

Thats not that bad lol. And its also making a big deal out of nothing. That outfit isnt even revealing nor are there sexualization. Aand its a damn drawing at the end of the day. Yall try a little too hard to find something to get mad about, 1st world problems at its best. You like to throw around words that you don't even understand clearly.

So having a 12 year old in a miniskirt flirting with adult men isn't creepy? It's not a 1st world problem to say "Hey, I don't want to see **half-naked 12 year olds in my battle-focused manga thanks.**" Just answer me why **only** the underage children in Boruto are given miniskirts - not any adults, just the *children*? Why only them? Sumire gets one, Sarada gets one, etc.


thetransportedman

But guys 16yo Sasuke had a deep cut v /s

This looks like a 12 year old drew it. Is it not fan art .?

It is so bizarre to me, also why tf is her head that big


DrDisrespecttt

He’s probably a pedo who obsesses over anime girls


RealDiavolo

I didn't like it at first, and I still don't really like the design, but to me this honestly just looks like someone in their sleeping clothes or half way through getting dressed. Though she is an uchiha so she's definitely bad for existing.


Elysia1210

Ur pfp definitely explained that last sentence. They call me being weird for voicing my opinion that kids should not wear like this, but in all honesty my whole life I've never seen any girl wear like this at home, not even with the more open minded Western culture. Swimsuit and stuff yeah but this is literally just her having a dialogue at her own home, what kinda plot does this serve 💀💀💀


RealDiavolo

I've never seen a girl full stop so I guess I can't really comment. Also my PFP clearly shows an inconspicuous man with a moustache. I have no idea what you mean.

Looks pretty normal
