You know... many of the girls including Mikuru and Haruhi don't stand up straight. Are they sure they got the right height?

Judging from the three other series whose character data I have handy (Da Capo, Kanon, Shuffle!) the SHnY girls are in the average range for height, thought they are closer to the shorter end of the scale. (They match up best with the Da Capo group) I also thought for sure that Yuki was the shortest SOS Dan member - it is hard to believe that Mikuru is a full 2 cm. shorter! By comparison Mikuru is shorter than Ayu from Kanon and Miharu from Da Capo, and is only 1 cm. taller than Primula from Shuffle!. Closest comparative match-up in terms of height and build would appear to be Nerine from Shuffle!.
Kyon is taller than Junichi from Da Capo and is in the middle of the average range for RL Japanese boys his age. |

IMO, Mikuru does not appear to be as short as she is because - with the possible exception of Itsuki - none of the rest of the SHnY crew is very tall either. The opposite sort of perspective applies to Ayu in Kanon: she looks very short because the characters she is usually seen with are mostly taller than average. |

I know we're all being somewhat goofy here.. but not following you. She's an 11th grader (Kyon & co. being 10 graders) and almost certainly 16-17 (plus or minus a few months) because the japanese system is seriously conveyor belt (no one gets left behind ) and despite chiyo-chan, grade acceleration is very rare. Whichever Mikuru being discussed, Kyon is certainly dallying with older women (unless we entertain the hypothesis about Mikuru's past).
My head-scratching is that almost all women reach their full height in early high school --- and we're to understand that Mikuru added another 4 inches to her height after high school. Either low-gravity or something wackier might be involved (like dimensions not having a 1:1 size synchronization <rofl>). Oh wait.. I see where you're coming from... if Mikuru is from the future (at least after Haruhi messed with things), she actually be younger and the authorities mis-assigned her...... that kind of whoopsie makes sense and permits her to be actually younger.

Guys, can we move this extended conversation to one discussion threads? May I suggest the thread for Episode 2 (a.f.k. count), as Mikuru's small stature (as well as her cuteness and breast size) was addressed directly by Haruhi and Kyon during the second half. Thanks.
