New Minami-kun no koibito series

[Nekotermal]

After 10 years, finally the Minami-kun no Koibito series is back again, but it's a shame that the series changed from Chiyomi who was shrunk to Minami and even the title changed. I think this is a bit too much, I don't have a problem with the characters or other problems but the main highlight is that they changed the structure of the story and I think it's a bit disrespectful to the author by changing what the author has created. I don't have too many hopes for this drama but hopefully they still provide a little shrinking spice for Chiyomi.

This drama will be broadcast in July so we will wait to see how this series goes, whether it is better than its predecessor or a flop.

Unfortunately, SW is not very popular in Japan.
Also, every time SW comes out, there are a lot of people who criticize it because it's not a GTS.

Bummer to hear. Well, it's been a while since I've watched the 2004 and 2015 shows. Guess I can go and have another watch again

I made the mistake of ranting about this on Giantess City, about respecting the author's intent with such an iconic SW as Chiyumi. I wasn't even that mad, more like, fine you win again guys take all our SW, but still got some pretty idiotic comment. I don't even know why I go on this forum, twenty years and nothing has changed.

Imagine how they would collectively throw a hissy fit if the incoming remake of Incredible Shrinking Man turned out gender-swapped, or Tim Burton's Attack of the 50' Woman became the 5" woman instead. They would be rightfully pissed off. They don't even realise they have the vast majority of mainstream content.

To be fair, it's Giantess City. It used to be cool until the toxic freaks, most likely from Twitter and curren-year DeviantArt, showed up and ruined the whole site. That's why I stopped commenting on there ever since they got at me over Captain Marvel. Though, it might be fine time I'd consider leaving the site completely like how I did with Process-Productions. There's not much good going on there, and I rarely find any SW handhelds there through the manga/anime threads, animation threads, and Western comic threads. Live action and SW threads, I didn't even bother anymore. They're both crap now, except for a bunch of Asian and Thai shows here and there. And the people posting on there are nasty and toxic AF. Hell, it's even because of them that we don't see Zoom Zoom anymore.
So I wouldn't worry about them and that site anymore.

Sure, SW and DiD are beginning to fade away ever since the DEI Karens and grifters like Anita Sarkeesian showed up, but we're not gonna give up; and I'm sure companies in Japan won't get rid of that either. We'll keep on spreading our love SW and DiD no matter what. And if companies won't do that, we can do it ourselves or keep buying commissions from other talents that likes the stuff as much as we do. Jesse Jr still has his own studio and still marketing on that, and he's been getting praise since Day 1. Even after showing us his clips, his ads, and the movies he's working on. So there's still hope for us yet.

ah so this is essentially just Oyayubihime but less yandere.

I wouldn't go that far but it seems like they are twisting things and trying to be different since the 2015 one is available to stream and that might have been a factor, the effects also still hold up so I think the creators were trying to be different.

That being said, it is kinda concerning people are using MeToo is getting pushed both ways. We just wanted better writing for tiny characters.

Or just better written characters in general.

At the risk of generating false hope, GTSCity is reporting there may indeed be some SW content in this series: episode 5 supposedly shows the tiny guy encountering a similarly tiny woman. They have some preview images.

So...does that mean this shrinking curse is more of a widespread thing than the previous versions or something?

incidentally, I was also the one who pointed it out first. based on what I could understand from the preview is that it seems like the SW knows of the reason why 2 of them had shrunk or at least a hunch of it asking him why and how is it possible that he shrunk.

like Minami, the SW also seems to have a "lover" of her own, shown that she is perched in their hand in the following scene, asking Minami to come with her.

Episode 5 does indeed have SW. I can't get the video in the link to play (VPN I think), but here's part of the translated plot:

"Chiyomi Horikiri's (Ai Iinuma) bag is snatched, and Minami-kun (Yuyuki Yagi), who was inside, is thrown into a park far away. Minami-kun, who hurts his whole body and is at a loss, meets Sanae Tomita (Ryoko Kuninaka), a woman who is the size of a palm like himself! Minami-kun and Sanae go into the pocket of "Mr./Ms." and head to Sanae's house - she feels strangely happy when she meets "someone in the same situation as herself" for the first time, and talks a lot about what she experienced after becoming 15 cm."

On Bilibli it was broadcast and there was nothing special, a bit disappointed but at least they didn't remove the element of shrunken woman, there were only two scenes of interaction between Sanae and her husband and the rest returned to the conflict between Chiyomi and Minami. If you want to watch, just watch until minutes 7:30, the rest is not important for those who don't follow the story and just focus on the SW scene.
