Or maybe Mashima was just being Mashima. :/ Well.... more appropriately, he was just being an action shounen mangaka. Lets see.... shounen where souls or spirits(especially male characters and not necessarily females) have clothing on when in world of living for short time- Naruto, Bleach, Magi, The World God Only Knows, Fairy Tail. Those come to mind rather fast but there are more. Now let's see where clothes are NOT there(in both genders mind you) - Accel World and........ crap.... I forgot that pretty much all the rest are in the slice-of-life ecchi department.... Oh well.... still have Digimon. How they get away with their method of portraying male nudity is beyond me.
