I read probably like 5 chapters of the mango when it was new but didn't keep up with it. Does this series actually have anything that needs censoring? I was under the impression that it was about otherworld people struggling with our shitty addictive unhealthy foods and trying to lose weight.

It's been a while since I read a chunk of the manga, and I couldn't remember, so I pulled up the mangadex page to check. It is listed as suggestive, but it has chapters labeled as (Uncensored). Flipping through a couple, it would indeed need censoring to be broadcast.

Hilariously the French title translates to "Fifty Shades of Fat: The Elf who loved French Fries too much".

That is fantastic. I know some people don't like when localization goes beyond just translation, but that is a work of art.

It wasn't drawn to be explicit, just as gags, but there was top and bottom nudity. Pants splitting, tops falling off, people landing in compromising positions, that kind of stuff. Any part where you would have seen anything was covered with a character face "sticker" instead of a censor type bar. There was nothing romantic or sexual story-wise, but it is stuff that would not normally be broadcast on tv.

To me it's just a comedy/gag manga. I mainly kept reading for the potato puns after a certain point. The characters are pretty one dimensional and there isn't any character growth, but it's alright for what it is. It was short enough to read all of it that I didn't regret reading it. It was kind of nice seeing different body types represented, and they're drawn to be suggestive, but at the same time, they were all mainly treated as bits, so to me, that cancels out a lot of what it could have been. There's nothing I'd call real health tips, there's no body positivity, and there's nothing really suggestive enough you couldn't find better elsewhere just as easily, so I'm not sure the overall point of it. But if you want a short series with likeable but dull unorthodox characters with some ok jokes, it does that, but if you went a few chapters and it didn't grab you, you won't be missing out IMO.

Unfortunately that site is unusable. Doesn't even remember where I left off.
