It's just like PoT, apparently they're elementary school kids?

Never seen PoT and had no idea they are elementary school! They look like late teens!
But yeah if they're elementary school boys yet look and act far older, it somehow is shippable, brain doesn't register their age. If they're elementary school boys who look like elementary school? NOPE, take that away from me.

Ok fine they're in middle school but Tezuka being a 8th grader ruins things.

These are some serious ass kids.

The mangaka originally drew them to be in high school, but decided to change them to middle school and didn't...alter the designs any. As far as I can tell, people generally just assume they're in high school anyway because about the only ones that look remotely believable are Ryoma and the other first-years.

yes this is true

konomi designed the characters and wrote the manga around them being high schoolers, and JUMP decided when they picked up the series for publishing that having them be middle schoolers would fit more with their target demographic

Oofuri characters are all high school aged, just FYI. And I would hardly say they all even LOOK young... some of them actually look like old men! And then some of them look like the dude in my icon. :)

My feeling is that Oofuri makes more of an attempt to be realistic in how it portrays high schoolers, and thus it shows a pretty big range in how the students look. Now, the main boys of Oofuri ARE only first years in high school, but when they play teams with second or third year students, those teams tend to have boys who look obviously older.

I would totally understand if people can't ship Oofuri characters by how young they look (or even by how young they actually are-- I appreciate that some people just don't ship ANYONE under the age of 18, and that's cool). But I don't want to let this misundertanding take root and have it be a reason why people shy away from looking into it! Even if you DON'T ship Oofuri characters, it's still the MOST adorable series and I'd recommend it to absolutely EVERYONE!!!
