    or, it's a damned perspective shot.

    That's why I'm saying I think he duffed the proportions. The holes in those fences are about 2-3, maybe 4 fingers wide, nominally (using my own hand and memories of jumping one of those fences as a reference). Her hands look larger than that.

    If I'm wrong I'll eat the crow, but it looks off to me.

    Ok yeah, looking closer that fence looks very small. It might have been a reused asset from something else and just jerrymandered into this picture and the artist didn't care enough to modify it to fit proportion.

    I think the artist wanted to draw a short fence (of which there is no shortage in Japan) but bungled the scale*. Something like that seems like it wouldn't be too difficult to climb over, even if you're 155 cm tall.

    (Google street view Tokushima, a slightly more daunting example in Tokyo , and a more rusty example in Kumamoto)

    *) spacing of the standing supports, size of wire gaps & thickness of tubes, specifically. I don't have memories of jumping fences, but I do have vivid memories of bungling scales of everyday objects in drawings

    Fair enough.
