The hell happened between ele 4 to 5
Growth spurt? There's some tall genes in my family, and my eldest sister shot up around the same point. Shit gets real awkward when you're a fair bit taller than your peers at that age, too, I've gathered. As a guy, I also shot up through my teenage years.
Also, it's not like we haven't seen this before:
Ch6.1 had a splash art on the first page showing her standing with her 5th grade classmates and she was almost twice their height. Not to mention the flashback extra (
57.3) that showed that Ichikawa and Yamada had passed by each other around that age, too, and Ichikawa and his two friends were commenting on just how huge she was as she walked by. He didn't realize she was Yamada, though, when they showed him remembering that moment in the present. He just knew she was big and mysterious.
tfw I just realized they are in middle school.
are you kidding me? how? yamada is not human.
You just didn't know anyone from a tall family growing up, I assume. I am from a tall family- I AM freakishly tall. Puberty hits, and suddenly you're heads and shoulders above your classmates. Girls experience this earlier since they go through puberty sooner, on average.
