Calm down, it's just a manga.Just discovered this from mangaupdates
Kinda bizarre that this was approved as an official continuation with a different artist. Art style aside (it's very different but it's fine), does this idiot (author, not insulting the scanlation at all) really not realize that high school girls are pretty much done growing height-wise in early high school?
Girls typically stop growing by age 15--sometimes even earlier. Konata is 17 at the START of the manga. Middle of her 2nd year in a standard 3-year Japanese high school. She turns 18 during the anime, but I can't remember if that was a canon occurrence during the manga.
Apparently Konata grew SIX INCHES in the 13-14 years since the original manga, according to the Lucky Star wiki? That makes no sense. Literally none at all. She went from a tiny girl at age 17 to a completely average-height Japanese woman. That doesn't happen.
I wouldn't give a fuck if she grew in other ways--I don't need Konata to be a "legal loli" the way her dad was canonically into, the way they gave her a modest (instead of totally flat) chest is fine, the hips are fine, these things do happen. But the way she grew in physical height makes ZERO SENSE.
