I’m waiting for the canonical reason why the female elves look like children while the one male elf we’ve met is drawn like a grown man. And I really hope it’s not that their brain outpaces their body because then we’re in the “5000 year old witch in a child’s body” trope.
If this is addressed in the manga, no spoilers plz beyond a simple “Yes, it is.”
I mean, we have a sample size of 3 (in the anime anyway), and don’t actually know for certain how old any of them are. The only thing we really know is that Frieren is likely the youngest.
I’m sorry if my critical exploration of anime I enjoy makes you feel defensive but I literally just explained why I think that would be the worst reason. Don’t worry no one’s canceling Freiren, we’re just having a chat.
“Adult elf bodies reflect their own self-image” would be pretty cool. Especially for the monk.
Would Friren count? Romance of the two teens are age appropriate for them. And two dudes that are enamoured with older women, but I think that’s it.
It could, but people could also see it as an example of the 3000 year old loli trope. So it may not be a good example.

Not to mention, those two dudes are both grown-ass adults. Nothing wrong with a grown man that likes milfs.

I’d assume it’s because the only male elf is older? Idk this feels like looking for inappropriate intentions because you want there to be one.
Serie looks like a child too and he is not older than serie tho.

Yeah I was about to say this he was way older than friren

The loli is not 3000 years old.
