Heh! I've been picturing sarong-clad women (similar to Polynesian islanders). Shows how much I know. LOL!
Author's Response:
Well it's not really far from the picture I've been getting, but thier more scantily clad, no skirts "sarong". With the woman being the bread winners of society, they set many of the norms. In this society if there was gender vs gender sports, "And actual enough guys the same size to play. "Shirts vs skins might have the guys playing with shirts on." It's a different culture.

I see Shouta hasn't yet realized that unlike everything else in Watatsumi the men are not much bigger than men from Earth. Of course the only clues he's gotten until now are some remarks that men cannot survive on their own and the lack of surprise and questions about his size, so Shouta's assumption is understandable. Hopefully seeing Maki's father will enable him to connect the dots.
As for explaining things, this chapter is indeed exposition-heavy, but I think you're doing a good job of giving readers enough information to know what's going on while still keeping them interested in the story.
Author's Response:
Thanks for the honest opinion, with the exposition out of the way, hopefully next chapter will be more oriented towards character development. I agree he's gotten quite a few clues, but he's also terrified in his current situation, so I think when he meets her father he might calm down?
Also do you think I did well for going with a different chapter Title, I originally had it called Momo, but decided on "Meet the Parents Part 1" instead last second.
Hopefully I'm not shooting myself in the foot by cutting these chapters so short. But at times I feel like I need to stop at a good cliff hanger to keep people interested? Am I wrong for doing this with such short chapters?
