How odd.

WE HAVE FOUND THE ESSENCE OF MOTIVATION!

Its somewhere in the last 35 posts! In that time we have had....

• Obahma-style motivational speech
• DJ_RockmanX threatening Kaisos with the Nouten Chokugeki Shinigami Chop
• A rebutle on DFCs
• The nabbing of Vols 1 & 2 of School Rumble
• The revelation that either Korea get manga too cheap, or its too expensive in the US
• Thoughts on the origins of the new girl in one of the paths in Haruhi novel 9
• Begging for Kyonko
• Picture of Kyonko crying
• An equally amusing and disturbing reply
• The picture that Im fairly sure turned EVERYONE towards the Genderbending craze (I know it did for me)
• Discussions on the ages of the Haruhi characters
• SquishSD's avatar of Kyonko with Glasses

errr... okay... its something to work by....

The IDSE humanoid interfaces are technically three. Aside from them, all first year students are 15-16, all second year students are 16-17(except possibly Asahina) and all third year students are 17-18.

Kyon(ko) is confirmed to be 15 at the beginning of the story. Since we are never given any birthdates, I cannot say when she turns 16.

that makes everyone, except for mikuru/mitsuru since we're not sure of their age, to be NOT LEGAL <_<

beat it, peds!

Shoot! It's the pedo polees! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!

I'm mainly talking to beanbag here.

On the other hand, they're pretty much in the age range when the average teen has their first sexual experience.

Plus, Japanese age of consent laws are... odd.

Why ?
I find it clever to seperate teenagers having sex and adults having sex with teenagers...

And I do remember Haruhi mentioning that she was older than Kyon, at some point, in an effort to further her superiority.

Ha. That smacks of a feeling of insecurity on her part. Tsundere all the way ...

Woo!

Well, she does know that, despite her own (considerable) strength, he's definitely strong enough to carry her off somewhere without her being able to do much in the way of resistance.

Ironic, considering what we've done with the characters here.

Meh, not interested in the melonpan.

...My inner otaku is a psycho. He is laughing like a character from Higurashi, because I finally gave in and bought another...seven volumes of manga (6 & 7 of Chibi Vampire [a.k.a. Karin], 15-19 of Fruits Basket). x_x And this was with the knowledge that I'm going to an anime convention next month, too. ARGHHH! STOP SPENDING SO MUCH MONEY, INNER OTAKU!

So in Japan, what would the minimal age be to be legal?

That'd be thirteen.

Are you absolutely sure? O_o I remember reading something different somewhere else.

Rather, the age of consent on a national level is 13, though prefectural law always takes precedence. Hence, in some places in Japan, the age of consent is higher, up to 17.

[Jakaeus]

Oh okay, thanks.

[Discreet]

Shame Kaisos, for one brief moment you gave all the pedos a glimpse of hope they'll never really have!

Sounds like a huge loophole for Japanese fatcats to do teenagers on their yatchs. But it begs the question, if you were on a Japanese sea vessel in international waters, would you go for it?

Were she willing? Yeah, probably.

Drawn in by the dorama? I believe you're the first to say it like that.
