>>3937547Well, don't watch/read Re:Zero, so I don't know for 100% fact, but I am inclined to say no. So let's look up the facts. According to his fan wiki profile, he starts out at 17 and later turns 18. He is still a teen, but the typical cutoff is end of (Japanese) middle school at around 15, so he is aged out. Of course, some older teens can be shota-esque based on general vibes like overall build. Well, he is 5'8" in height, which may qualify as a type of manlet but by no means a shota. Similarly, most fan art and official art for the books and adaptations lack a lot of shota-esque features in how his face is drawn. He is just a regularly late-teen Japanese boy, which is kind of the point of most contemporary LN fiction. You are welcome to be gaga for him (my personal husbando is not a shota but shota-esque high schooler and I still avoid posting him in these threads), but this is the wrong thread unless you post de-aged fanart of a hypothetical shota Subaru.
>>3937549You know what's better than a bratty shota? Double bratty shota!
