Adventurers. Craftsmen. Traders. Any occupation these kids won't be having anytime soon?

They are just about to build a whole nation with these highly skilled orphans lmao

They should try to get the local lord protection, it'll be cheaper than donating money to the orphanage since they seem to take care of the operating cost themselves plus it'll be good PR.

Thank you for the translation!

Every chapter of this manga gives me a little bit of happiness in this cold and dark time. It warms my heart.

Ain't nothing more annoying than walking down the street, and get 'grabbed' by someone going: "YO BUY MY SHIT CMERE"
no please.

The places I am much more likely to give money to, are these old grandma stalls that don't give a fuck if you buy or not. You can peruse without being gauded to buy.

Woah, did they shrink the kids? They're drawn at about half the size of the older kids, which is very wrong.

 

[Seinvolf]

Thank u always for ur great work...
^^...

They already grow so much that even can be self sufficient without the help from the donor...
(OωO )...

Mangaka to his wife : "Honey, I shrunk the kids!"

As opposed to the 8 y/o kids that look and act like late teens? Not saying you're wrong the size difference isn't slightly exaggerated, but this is way better then the alternative

Well, an 8 year old is supposed to be 2/3 to 3/4 the size of an adult but they look half the size. You pretty much have to go back to being a 2 year old to be that small.

To be clear, I only really noticed this chapter, but looking back at previous chapter this is pretty much how it's always been drawn, so nothing shrunk this chapter.

Which again, is only noteworthy in the fact they are too small, rather then the norm of looking and acting like they are in their mid to late teens.

You may have noticed I made no comment on how the characters act, because that is completely unrelated to my comment on the art being inaccurate.

I'm not aware of any norm regarding how characters act in regards to their age. I don't know what you've read so I don't know what "norm" you've gathered from those manga, but it probably isn't the norm over every manga released. I will however note that the premise of most isekai is reincarnation which leads to characters having a mental age which does not match their age (An extreme example would be "The Prodigy Sefiria's Overpowering Program". The MC in Kojin Tamer also does not behave like an 8 year old.) but I wouldn't call that a norm - it's a genre with specific characteristics.

Nope, and frankly it didn't really matter if you did. Because there is little relevance to mental age and how a character looks or even acts.

Authors and mangaka are notoriously bad at emoting and dialogue for the characters of their stories, especially for children. Nearly as bad as they are about body types.

It's to the point your comment is almost more notable then the fact the artist made the kids too small.

Honestly can't really help ya. I started my journey in the early 80s watching Dragon Ball and Macross/RoboTech as Saturday Morning Cartoons. Much of the character design was intentionally distorted and kids were rarely drawn the appropriate size and definitely didn't act much like children. And that doesn't even count the myriad of lolibaba, traps, reverse traps, chibi, body horror, joke, anthropomorphic, ect, ect type characters. And that barely scratches the surface. There are some truely deep dark corners where the fetishist and kinks lurk that you'll want to be weary of.

tl:dr is that there few norms and assigning one or even trying to is pointless. Size and shape means just as little as the character’s mental age and personality archetype. And that's even before adding in the body snatching transmigrators, the reincarnated and thousand y/o loli dragons.
