Doesn't happen nearly enough in manga, or IRL either honestly. "Violence is bad!" Yes, but some people are just such huge assholes that they need a whallop. Violence is not the answer, it is the question. And sometimes- only sometimes- the answer is "yes".
I've checked, and while the "average" age of consent is 16, their "living arrangements" mean that he is in a position of authority over her. In those cases the age of consent is 18.
The boys weren't being dumb to her. They were laughing at her because her mom died, that's not being dumb, that's being actively malicious. That goes beyond even normal bullying to actual evil.
well if she just started high school in japan, then she's 15. And Japan just changed their age of consent laws from 13 to 16 (no joke. they changed it 2 years ago). And she's already been there a few months. And he doesn't really care what people think. So probably not too long.
she did offer to sleep with him in ch1 and he's not an idiot
bully's usually don't like it when u stand up to them
That old age of consent is the national one, but most districts de facto ups it to 18. There's like, only one island that doesn't have its own laws about age of consent, so it follows the national one.
So that means, she's going to be waiting up until at least she's 18 and it's also because the lower age limit requires the consent and approval of the parents.

were i live, any kid(older than the ones in this chapter) who was too troublesome in a similar maner in this chapter at school will get whipped by their own parents in front of the school
the ones who laughed at her need quick correction, not to laugh at other people suffering

Age of consent has been 16 for decades in nearly all prefectures and locals, predating and superceding the national change by decades. So no, the age of consent was not 13 as so many like to continue to spread such misinformation, save for one exception. There was only one small island that still had the age of consent at 13, but there were no children living on that island and only a couple dozen adults, mostly 40+ of age, still living there at the time the national law was changed.
Typical Japanese teenagers age in high school is 16 for first years, 17 for second year, and 18 for third year. It isnt unusual to have a 19 year old 3rd year in high school, nor 15 in the first year, but again, it's typically 16 to 18.
And it was already mentioned in the manga she's 16. BTW he's 26, as the college chick is 19 and it was stated he's 7 years older then her.

Age of consent varies in the US, but this is Japan. Under 16 it's still considered statutory rape (as mentioned before it used to be under 13) but that's only at the National level. At the local levels there are all sorts of indecency/morality laws that can effectively raise that much higher and those vary by locale.
This is an article from before the 13->16 change but talks about things that raise the effective age. (Primarily the national-level Child Welfare Act and Juvenile Obscene Acts Law. It doesn't mention localities.)
The age of consent refers to the minimum age at which a person is considered legally competent to consent to sexual acts. In Japan, the age of consent for sexual activity is 13 years old under the Japanese Penal Code. However, there are other laws in Japan that prohibit certain sexual activities with anyone under 18 years of age.
The age of consent laws in Japan are complex. According to Article 34 of the Child Welfare Act, no one may engage in sexual intercourse or sexual acts with a child. A “child” refers to anyone under 18 years of age. This means that even though the age of consent is 13 under the Japanese Penal Code, certain sexual activities with anyone under 18 are prohibited.
There are also laws prohibiting “fornicating acts” (iken) with anyone under 18 years of age, including fondling of genitals, oral sex, and anal sex. The Juvenile Obscene Acts Law prohibits many sexual acts with anyone under 18, including exposing genitalia, fondling, and “obscene acts”. The law against fornicating acts and obscene acts with minors has more severe punishments than Article 34 of the Child Welfare Act.
The age of consent for marriage in Japan is 18 years for girls and 20 years for boys with parental permission, and 20 years for both genders otherwise. However, some municipalities allow marriage at 16 with parental permission. Child marriage is prohibited in Japan.
In conclusion, while the age of consent for sexual activity is 13 years in Japan, there are laws protecting minors under 18 from various sexual acts. The age of consent for marriage is higher, at 18-20 years depending on gender and parental consent. Japan’s age of consent laws aim to strike a balance between protecting minors and granting them sexual agency as they mature into adults.
In the US "unrestricted" age of consent (deals with positions of authority) vary from 16 to 20 and 21.
There is a really good table in the Wikipedia article Age of consent in the United States. I tried to paste it here but got posting errors (maybe because of size). You should check it out.
The table can be a little confusing. For example, in Indiana Romeo and Juliette laws would allow two 14 year-olds to have sex but it is 16 generally. In California there are no Romeo and Juliette laws and no Authority laws so it is 18 for everyone. In Connecticut two 13 year-olds can have sex, for anyone NOT in authority it's 16, and it's pork away at 18. In Washington there are no R&J laws, NOT in authority is 16, unrestricted at 21 (no matter how much you love your boss she can't touch you until she can take you for drinks).
