As a test, I added about 15kg to Asakura-san. Even with that addition, she still falls into the 'perfectly acceptable' category, but I wonder what will happen if I add more...
Weight is a rather minor factor here--with tokyo, Asakura's acceptability seems more to be directly related to how much clothing she has on, perhaps because they serve to cover up her... "lumpiness".

I'm going to have to disagree because he can draw her well without clothes. Examples range from the first doujin he did of her, to the images at post #62938, post #76214, post #80415, and most recently post #144073.
It seems to me at least that his trend to start drawing her with more weight began at about the same time as he did the second Asakura doujin, and has been getting slowly and subtly worse as time progresses.
Granted, I'm still a fan of his work, but I'm getting worried about potential Mogudan-ism rearing its head here in terms of her body size.
