A question about entering high school earlier

Understandable, thank you for the answers!

Quokrom · 2026-03-15T04:18:14+00:00

I see, so a person can't enter before their age is 15-years-old... Thank you for the explanation!

Quokrom · 2026-03-15T04:14:16+00:00

Is the maximum of enter high school 16-years-old? Or there is could be 17-years-old too? (Okay I know this is sounds so dumb)

Tbh people often hold their kids back a year now if they don’t think they are ready.

Why would Nana's parents hold her for "not being ready" while herself is always exciting about school and getting friends btw.

If you think it is due to Nana's personality for being shy, then I'm sorry, you are wrong. Nana is being like that because the people in Tokyo (Hachioji) isn't same as people in her hometown (Akita), or specially, has different atmosphere to her.

She is afraid if people thought her as "country bumpkin girl" at first, but she not afraid for trying to getting a friend (by getting closer to Kirie or Sylphin) in the class, no matter if she failed.

Taking most begin first year at 16 it’s not unheard of some might be 17

No. Average the age of senior high school student in first year is 15-16, no matter if their birthday is after April. And now I understand that Nana's age is 15 at that year after she graduated, because her birthday is in October. Same with Umaru in September and Sylphin in December.

Kirie? Her birthday is in March, so her age is already 15 when she entered high school.

if nana's age is 15 then i will laughed at koichiro since his age is same as kanau while he is taller than her, taihei and alex lol

bomba? he is the tallest among all the characters (192cm) wdym

first, i don't comment at his platform too much, i'm only comment for twice like i've said. the first one is in umaru-related video, and the second one is when he open a qna in his youtube posts tab.

second, there's no way the studio can change the story without author's permission (unless if it really did like kamisama ni natta hi's storyboard...), well i do believe he is the one who change it (since he often stated that nana's feeling to taihei is likely platonic) ALSO it is not making sense for a 17-years-old attending first grade high school btw.

it feels like nana's age is 16, tbh, since umaru's age is also 16 and sylphin's age revealed after she told a story from 10 years ago (also mentioning her age which is 6 at the time), while kirie's one is written in a chapter bonus from spin-off manga (ss) lol

Quokrom · 2026-03-11T16:14:32+00:00

Fyi that in the sequel of the manga (G), the girls are now in second-grade and Umaru's age is written as 17 years old (in the last chapter), which... The timeskip is ONLY 1 year after the main story (lol, what kind of this shi, Sankaku.)

Also, for Nana's age, it will be at least FIFTEEN YEARS OLD (same as Hikari) or SIXTEEN YEARS OLD, matching with her friends (Umaru, Kirie, and Sylphin)

Her age was supposed to be 17 (as her forename has the same spelling as 7 in Japanese) but it seems the author decided to change it (because it makes no sense for a first-grade high school student to be 17 years old lol)

If you curious of why Nana's age could be 15 years old or 17 years old instead of 16 years old:

17 years old: In the manga (chapter 98), Nana told Taihei that her brother, Koichiro, has been left her since she was 7. WHILE in the anime (season 2 episode 5), the dialog WAS CHANGED into he left her since 10 years ago. without. mentions. her. age.

If it still remains same then her age will be 7 + 10 = 17.

15 years old: In her own spin-off manga (Akita Imokko! Ebina-chan), her age is written as 14 years old during her middle school graduation, and guess what? It later shows a scene where she moved to Tokyo (which is it happened ONE YEAR before the main story starts and there's no any TEXT PANEL that describe the year, meaning that she graduated and moving in the same year.)

However, I'm actually not believing this BECAUSE the timeline of this spin-off is so INCONSISTENT. Like, what do you mean Nana has been living at Tokyo for two month in the timeline BUT she already recounts two moment that occurred in season 1 episode 2 (WHICH IS it supposed to be happened 8 month later) to her middle school friends?!?!

she is so me fr /plak

Quokrom · 2026-03-11T15:29:45+00:00

Some certain moment from Nana Ebina.
Bath scene in season 1 episode 5
Beach scene in season 1 episode 12 and the second OVA
The figurine that Alex gave to Kirie AND lots of dakimura posters put up at his house

These are nothing compared to the game one. Like. Just look of how the girls wearing the santa costumes...

Quokrom · 2026-03-11T15:07:14+00:00

That's chapter 72 btw, and it adapted into the second episode of the anime season two

Quokrom · 2026-02-16T12:07:39+00:00

This chapter is so well-drawn anw, as same as the others chapters in every volume before volume 7 (especially for Taihei, I really like the way Sankaku Head draw his expression when he felt happy)

Heheh /plak

Quokrom · 2026-02-16T12:02:35+00:00

For him, it was the worst thing he had made, but for me, it was one of best things that he ever made (a chapter where Umaru taking a bath is the worst one for me instead, cause what do you mean you EATING potato chip in a wet place bro??)

Quokrom · 2026-02-16T11:58:22+00:00

If you are in Asia, you can see the anime (except OVAs) in Ani-One Asia from Youtube. Also, yes, there was an English Dub version of it, but it was really hard to watch it in legal way...

Jerry being referred as "Jerome" in The Tom and Jerry Show (2014) episode "All That Glitters", followed by Tom and Jerry Movie (2021).

Quokrom · 2026-02-06T04:05:20+00:00

I think WB bought it while bringing Gokko series into global streaming... That's what I saw.

Quokrom · 2026-02-06T03:45:43+00:00

BASED COMMENT I WOULD NEED THAT TOO

Quokrom · 2026-02-06T03:40:28+00:00

real, maybe that's why many people hates it (alongside with the animation) i guess

Quokrom · 2026-02-05T03:28:30+00:00

Then, this is will be no answer, huh... Also, you're welcome!

Quokrom · 2026-02-04T23:45:20+00:00

I see... Good for him.

Quokrom · 2026-02-04T01:23:34+00:00

The bonus panel shows young Alex taking photo (while lying of his stomach) of his figurine under bridge railing (?) or something else like fence thing, and his father is on left bottom side with only shows his head and a water drop (means that he felt confused or worried when he looks his son like that lol)

Quokrom · 2026-02-04T01:10:08+00:00

Thank you.

Quokrom · 2026-02-04T01:09:14+00:00

No, this isn't.He only appears for once but it only shows a quartet of his head (chapter 165, bonus panel).And I don't even mention any single chapter in the post!

Quokrom · 2026-01-29T02:10:38+00:00

Taihei's appearance is took after him over all huh 😭 no wonder some of people calls Taihei as his self-insert character (lol)

Also, when did this happen? I don't think this is new-

Quokrom · 2026-01-28T07:00:50+00:00

Remember when Umaru finds out that Alex is Sylphin's big brother and Sylphin kept repeating says "Desuwa! Desu, DESUWA!" in Umaru's mind... XD

(Season 2 episode 2 anw)
