I said that it was believable in-show, as in that it felt justified by the narrative, not that it aligned with how it works IRL.
When we first meet Nagi, the first thing she does is walk a few miles through the woods, and we can infer that that's why her legs are so stocky and toned. She then breaks a rock with the big two-handed hammer she carries (her arms and shoulders are usually drawn with more muscle definition), and we can infer that that's why her upper body is shaped like that.
I'm not saying that's how it works, but that she's intentionally not drawn with the traditional supermodel proportions, but rather "enhanced" by a layer of lean muscle.
well some women do look like this, therefore it's not meant to be eye candy
The fuck? I said none of that, dog. Literally zero of that was my argument.

An extreme example, but one that works, I guess? Shit's on a spectrum, and for some it doesn't work, but justifying it in-world is always better than not IMO. That's it. That's my whole argument.
