Nudity is not too unusual in some anime and manga, even on TV shows and in manga for children. This is a result of a different culture’s views on naked bodies. Often nudity is used for comic effect and the characters involved might feel highly embarrassed. Or a character may simply be taking a bath as in the delightful children’s anime classic My Neighbor Totoro when the father and his young daughters take a bath together.
This is a normal emotional bonding activity in Japan. Sometimes nudity of partial nudity may be used simply to self the manga/anime, much like in the U.S.
