Okay, what the fuck?

Not the first time we had a switcheroo like this

Okay.... She just cannot be a grade schooler, right? Come on, Japan.... This is too much even for you...

Idk in Non NonBiyori Hotaru is suposs to be 11 and look like that

I guess Honda is the "older than she looks"? But "younger than she looks" seems a more urgent tag. Also, WTH?

Veeeery eeenteresting.

I was gonna say that's some Non Non Biyori shit lol.

Isn't Hatsukoi Monster the same but shoujo manga version. After Hatsukoi Monster this doesn't really surprise, though you kinda like it

Uh!!! Little girl! Pull the self-defense keyring!

They're highly compatible ...

I thought I hated the adult that looks like a child trope, but this one might be worse. Please let there be a follow-up that reveals this to be a big misunderstanding.

There's a follow-up comic on Twitter but it doesn't seem to really clear up the age gap thing.

But Hotaru is actually believable. Some people get hit by the puberty train a lot earlier than others. She's also not taller than all the other adults in the show.

Manga and anime ages make no fucking sense, that's just how it is.

To be fair, we've only seen one adult here and she's the least qualified to be an example

Precocious puberty is a thing, and even some girls who go through puberty at the normal age can experience such rapid and extreme breast growth that they would qualify for large cup sizes that are rare even among adult women (like, adult head size!) before they even hit age 13 (which typically causes a lot of medical problems due to their bones and muscles not matching pace, thus leading to chronic pains and permanent deformations). Japanese Fictionland is just applying the same kind of breaks from reality that it applies to a lot of other things (e.g. why people often get punched a hundred meters into the air with little to no lasting harm, despite how vastly unrealistic that is).

Yea what the actual fuck

Clearly someone has to investigate this adult woman pretending to be a grade schooler in order to play with little girls in the pool.

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO what- i- she-

So... Is there going to be a continuation?

I hope that mf was just holding that kid’s bag cuz she’s her sister or I’m throwing hands

Played me for a fool

Me: hmm age gap tag I guess she's probably a much older woman then

Up to sixth grade, i.e. age 12-13 (depending on the kid's birthday, because the system is bone-headedly strict and doesn't care if you're only a couple months or even weeks away from hitting the legal age for starting elementary, which thus determines how old you are when you graduate from sixth grade).
