The Persona series has always repelled me for some reason and I haven't felt like getting my hands on it, but this game seems oddly intriguing. I might have to try this. Assuming I can get past the protagonist being a typical super young girly boy as per usual with these things. What is it, a Japanese fetish or something? What's wrong with grown ass people who look like they could actually take a hit or two in real life?

Specifically for Persona, they are made with teenagers in mind, they are mostly self-inserted main characters, that's why all their games take place in high school too. Most people in Japan, specially teenagers, are really ectomorphic skinny guys

Have you watched any isekai anime? They are almost always basement dwellers before being transported to another world, Japan loves self inserted MCs

Besides that I think the main beauty standard of what a hot guy is in Japan is a slightly fit guy, but not muscular. Something like Noctics from Final Fantasy XV
