About six minutes into S1E40 of _Sailor Moon_ , Usagi wants her younger
brother Shingo to join the family in the hot spring, but he is ashamed and
wears a towel. The weird part is that it covers his non-existent breasts,
since he is a boy.

Why would a boy cover himself to that extent? At first, I thought that I had
misunderstood something and that the boy actually is Sailor Moon's female
friend or something, but I double-checked, and it really is her brother.

Is this yet another "strange Japanese thing"?

Why does Shingo wear a towel like a girl?
