Even One Punch Man, a pretty benign series that avoids sexual topics, has Tatsumaki who looks like a pre-teen. I know she’s supposed to be older, but when I first saw get I thought she was supposed to be 8 or something.
There’s making fun of the trope, and then there’s actually leaning into it. I’ve seen the series and I’ve read the manga. It’s certainly getting leaned into.
Okay, I’m usually very bothered with female characters looking ultra-young, but Tatsumaki never registered as that young to me. I might have thought late teens at the earliest.

8? Where did you get that from?

Seeing her for the first time had me thinking “what is with this sassy lost child?”
