Then you realize that that would make her super old so you come to the conclusion that she just really liked the fashion magazines from her mom. So her mom was roughly 20 in that era. Let's assume she was conceived when her mom was 20-30 and that puts her at born in the 80s. I know it's supposed to be in the future but you can't shut down intuitive observation like that! (Also, I said I had no idea what age she was. I didnt think she was 30 but would have believed it had someone told me so. And 30 was the most extreme I would have believed. Like Slaughter said, I would have probably guessed slightly older than MC, so 19-23range or something like that if I had had to. Which still would have been wrong but just to clear this up. It was just about me not being able to pinpoint it at all in this case) I mean just look at the MC in NewGame, or Jack the Ripper from earlier and you should understand where the feeling of really not having a clue what age she's supposed to be comes from //Edit: I mean, just to take that picture from Sent from earlier: ![[image loading]](https://i.imgur.com/BLTdZie.jpg) The boy is clearly some 16 year old kiddo on first look. Schoolkid who's supposed to look like some everday, casual clothes wearing guy. Nothing to be had there. Then you have her next to him in her clothes. No way do you go to school with that. That's someone who has a job or something else she's dressing up for. Working at the reception desk somewhere or something like that. The 3 metric tons of hair-volume-products on her head only reinforce that image of someone who's not going to school like that! | ||

People often mistake me for a high schooler or first year college student. You can imagine their shock when they find out I'm actually a 25 year old. People sometimes even mistake my voice for that of a woman. | ||

Latest Inuyashiki episode was good. + Show Spoiler + Too bad that he can't undo his mistake. I have a feeling that someone will die here and this time, he's going to lose it for good. | ||

Also, wouldn't be a stretch to think that the other MC would be around the same age as the guy MC. Latest Inuyashiki episode was good. + Show Spoiler + Too bad that he can't undo his mistake. I have a feeling that someone will die here and this time, he's going to lose it for good. yeah, but how often do you walk around and run into royalty? Clearly the first thought goes to someone who's clearly not a schoolkid anymore (which is true either way) -> she's already working~ On November 24 2017 10:40 Sentenal wrote: To make the whole Toad "shes 30, right?" thing make sense to me, I'm now imagining that Toad is Char. Makes complete sense to me, given Char and Toad's strike zone! Like I said, I never said I think she's 30. I said I have no idea what age she is saying I'd put her at slightly older than the MC. Maybe 19-23 but I wouldn't be surprised if you told me she's 16 or 30 either. | ||

Miragee, how's children of the whale? I've hearing that it's getting good again at episode 7? Debating if it's worth the watch. | ||
