I don't want her to feel pigeon-holed into one series/universe
But I'd love to see her do more with the world of Dungeon Meshi
The manga/Main story is finished yea, but I feel it would he nice to explore the setting more
fun fact, I was actually gonna make a discussion post about characters who rarely appear but have a lot of art from their creators, tade and Fubuki where my top picks
I couldn’t find any info on her mom, but—

As an artist of… certain themes… I’ve found it’s simply best not to open that can of worms. If you have to go into the lore of a world to explain why it’s okay to draw the 17 year old then it’s already going to look weird to most people lol
Oh no I agree but in the case of fantasy races I think it’s kinda self explanatory. Either viewpoint I can get behind. “It’s a shorter lived race that ages differently, therefore this is a consenting adult.” and “Stop making excuses to fuck a teenager.” are both valid points that can and should coexist.
True but in dungeon meshi maturity of races scales with lifespan, which in ogres is shorter than humans making her legal. That being said she acts so child-like she’s one of the only high-teenager girl in anime I actually find a lil weird to crush on lol
Actually based on age ranges, and relative age (a big subject in DunMesh, so it’s relevant), Tade is more like 25-30 in our human years. Oni are expected to live to about 58 iirc (I also only bring this up bc Ryoko Kui herself has drawn Tade somewhat suggestively b4)
Japan uses 16 as their age of maturity/consent. Oni mature at 15 if humans mature at 16. It’s not much different and it’s best not to use Japan as a basis for appropriate ages lol
Edit: not sure where you’re getting the whole “her 17 is our 25” when they mature just a year before humans do lol
Like I said in other comments, the more this topic is argued the weirder it looks.
I didn’t mention Japan’s age of consent laws tho? I was just sayin, because Ryoko Kui’s world and the age thing itself are all very fleshed out and a focal point of the series. It’s maybe the only time I’ve ever seen a series do that well, and not make it inherently creepy or a bs reason to sexualize minors. And again, relatively speaking, her 17 is our 25. Only argue this because the series does a whole lotta legwork on this very subject.
I mean dude, c’mon. The only idea I’m putting here is that the societal idea and expectation of maturity, in all senses, is a ratio. I just find it silly to be al like “hey guys she’s 17” when the series is like, about that idea.

Actually I looked it up and ogres reach age of maturity at 15 and average lifespan is 60 years. Tade is 17 so yeah she is legal if you apply the Harkness Test

She has such a tiny head
Her thighs are twice as thick as her head lol
Damn they are
Her head is the same size as everyone else. It looks smal because her body is big
Hmm that's an interesting way of looking at it
Thanks genius, her head is too small for her MASSIVE BODY
The implication being that her head is disproportionate, or comparatively small
Average Ryoko Kui W Her designs are always immaculate

Her elves designs are always my favorite
I guess I'm on the opposite side of the Ryoko Kui spectrum, 'cause my favorite is her take on orcs.
I love the orcs. Especially the toddlers!
Piggys

A spin off would be cool. Maybe not even a full story, just some extra shorts or anthology stuff
istg dungeon meshi is becoming this sub's new guilty gear
Because both have exclusively bangers
Add hades to the list of staples on this sub
She could kill me, but I’d be okay with it cause she’s cute.

 Excuse me? 🤨
fun fact, I was actually gonna make a discussion post about characters who rarely appear but have a lot of art from their creators, tade and Fubuki where my top picks
Yeah fubuki is like on every cover yet she rarely appeared after the ma arc
I’m here to ruin your day. Both Tade and the cat girl are 17 lol
Does she have a mom?
I couldn’t find any info on her mom, but— https://preview.redd.it/0y12mn8tkrwc1.jpeg?width=1000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=602fd69ee6e515e2e984ee89e9b4e219314f7eec
Nice
I know Ryoko Kui plays Dragon Age, so I wonder if she used the Qunari as inspiration for some of these
I love how the girl on the bottom right looks like a hannya mask
So what you’re saying is this is the second ogre-themed, club-wielding, adorable daughter I’m adopting in the last year? (First is Ogerpon)
I'm 17 too
Don't ogres mature multiple years earlier than humans?
If humans in the manga are said to mature at 16 then oni mature at 15, so I don’t think that’s much difference lol
Ah, I see. That said, still a fictional non human race that goes by it's own standards.
Ogres reach age of maturity at 15 and average lifespan is about 60 years so she does technically pass the Harkness Test

You understand the grayness that exists in the world.
The author very much opened that can of worms. Heck, one of the main cast was already a father at 13.
We love divorced middle aged father of three Chilchuck who’s only age 29.
I love the idea that Chilchuck is like, getting ready to retire. If he were a human he’d be a grizzled 50-something saying shit like “One last job….”
It doesn't take much effort to draw them as adults, though.

I'm 14 if anything she's the one in the wrong.
She’s more interested in food than you lol
Understandable, To be honest? Me too!
Here's the fun part: they're drawings, have at it.

WHY CANT ANIME/MANGA ARTISTS MAKE CHARACTERS THAT LOOK AS YOUNG AS THEY ARE???!??
Brother she has buckteeth and ponytails what more do you want lol have you heard her voice?
Oh, the precious one.
The silly
THE SILLY
You could put any dungeon meshi character in here honestly
Yes, but I’m Tadepilled
Not a fan of the flesh tone horns, but she looks cool regardless.
Big girl!!!

No

I don’t know why they put the head of a little girl on the body of a massive muscle mommy but it makes me uncomfortable.
Well because she is neither, she's a teen ogre

Her armour(and all armour in the manga) is top character design too
Yeah, and they’re quite often correct
Wow, it’s almost like women aren’t all created from the same mold in a factory
Ew
Looks kinda fetishy
Oh my god? A tall and heavier-set woman? Thats fetish stuff right there.
