23 year old Mano Erina gets mistaken for a child

On August 31st Mano Erina attended a press event for her new photobook “ZEROâ€. When asked about her future activities in the entertainment industry she replied, “I’m already 23 years old, so I would like to try doing some things that are more adult-like.â€

 

Mano revealed that during a trip to London she was mistaken for a child. Mano said this happened while she was eating breakfast at her hotel, “I guess I looked really young. A foreigner with a particularly nice moustache came up to me and said, ‘Yogurt will make your body big and strong, so you should try eating that’. He said this, implying that I was small and needed to grow up and be big and strong someday. But I guess it’s because I don’t look like I’m 23.â€

 

[+1316, -203] These days it’s hard to sell solo merchandise as an idol.

 

[+1126, - 242] She looks cute, but it’s all in the make-up. It’s a strategy her agency uses.

 

[+221, -22] I don’t want to see her more adult-like, not at all

 

[+207, -180] Umm.. No matter how you look at it, her looking 23 is well… Maybe if she tried to look older. When adults are at an age like that and they try to look like a kid or really young, it’s just gross. So please stop.

 

[+200, -117] Today’s last, but most ‘no one cares’ news story has arrived

 

[+198, -16] This doesn’t surprise me at all, because most foreigners think most Japanese girls look like they’re 10 years old. When I was 20 and staying in a homestay abroad, they said I looked 13.

 

[+180, -30] Well her appearance is definitely cute. But the real question is, ‘does cute sell?’

 

[+149, -59] Mano-chan is cute. She’s also good at acting, so I hope she does her best

 

[+108, -31] She’s cuter than the girls in AKB, but she’s not selling anything. I guess it’s because her agency is crap.

 

[+98, -6] Honestly, she should be happy…

But she looks 16, not 10, that foreigner doesn't have to say that?

I had this happen many times. I think it's my high pitched voice+ persona+mannerisms+face

At 19 I'm still mistaken to be a middle schooler. ^.^'

I guess it's because I get easily excited over things and easily pleased with things too. (Plus maybe my clumsiness with communication?)
