The heights feel kind of inconsistent at times with certain characters, how tall would you estimate Boutarou is?
Well,
it’s difficult to keep proportions when drawing, and it’s difficult to then judge correctly heights when watching manga/anime (look at how there’s the general belief Ogata is ‘pocket size’ when he’s actually taller than Shiraishi, Hijikata and Nagakura, who, ironically, aren’t considered as such).
In Boutarou’s case however he seems insanely huge, he litterally towers above Sugimoto and Shiraishi...

...much more than Tanigaki or Kiro seemed doing.
So let’s pick the tallest in the cast, Ushiyama, and see how he compares to him.

We don’t really have a side by side image so it’s hard to say but the general impression I get from the second picture is that they’re close in height. It can be that Boutarou is even taller, as in the first picture, when Boutarou calls Ushiyama, Ushiyama looks up, but yes, it can be the idea is that he’s looking at the table Boutarou is about to slam on his head.
We know Boutarou has feet who are 36 cm long... if he really were to respect the idea they’re 15% of his height he would be well abouve the 2 meters (though it’s probably not the case, Ushiyama, according to the anime, is 188 cm and Boutarou doesn’t tower over him as well).
It’s a pity we never saw Gansoku (193 cm) and Boutarou close or we could have a better estimate of his height.
So yeah, what I can say for now is that Boutarou’s height is likely close to Ushiyama, possibly even a bit more. Who knows, if the anime reaches his arc and gives out an height table we might even learn how tall he is.
Thank you for your ask!
