Despite the artist tagging it as shota, he's very much drawn like a standard anime twink and Kaworu Nagisa is pretty definitively in the "shounen" end of the anime boy age scale. A proper shota wouldn't start to have the dorito sort of build with those broadening shoulders. I'd say teen twink yes, but gone through too much of puberty to be a shota.

I'd lean on no mostly because Bocchi's cast are definitely highschoolers and while suggestive, it's not quite lewd enough to be loli smut either way.

Thanks. Honestly, knowing where the line is between loli and not-loli is a bit difficult for me.

the loli and shota tags depend on the character's appearance on a piece-by-piece basis, canon actually has no relevance.

anyway, the artwork in question strikes me as more of just a cutesy art style than childlike, so not loli imo.

It's too SFW to really matter IMHO. While if you're as neck deep into weebdom as most of us you can probably get some sussy implications, most normies would just see a kid playing dress up and to my knowledge, we reserve Loli/Shota for stuff that's outright NSFW. I probably would put the child tag on it though.

no. besides debatably the 3rd pic, of which I still lean towards no.

Thank you. Had similar thoughts. Honestly, I’m not really convinced the third qualifies either, he’s basically featureless. But someone else added the tag so I figured I’d ask here.
