Pochama ni

Pochama ni tells the love story between Mugi, a fat girl, with her romantic partner who is considered a "Pochama" (the term refers to someone who likes soft and fluffy things). In other words, he has a preference for fat girls. Thus, the author managed to do a very good job of using a female character who accepts her body; and that despite having suffered from judgments in the past, she faced them and learned to love herself. In addition, as much as the idea of ​​a “Pochama” boy may seem a little exaggerated, it helped to highlight the issue of fatphobia within the reality ofthe work that is a reflection of our society. Because, a “pretty boy” who likes fat girls was then labeled by people as a “waste”. Thus, in a very cute way of reading, the author tried to show the relationship of her two characters, but with brushstrokes of harsh realities. Giving us the lesson that it doesn't matter if you're thin or fat, what you really need is to be able to love yourself and recognize your value to know not to accept less than you deserve, in addition to always wanting to be better.
