And don't say that's how they count age in Japan, because it's not, they count the western way.

That was before it became weekly. Might be a retcon.

At the beginning of ch 26 it also states he is 17. That was after the transition to the new mag.
>>153571898
Retcon. He's a second year, so he should be 17 after his birthday unless he skipped or failed a year, and I doubt it.
>>153571898
Maybe since he doesn't really notice his birthday he just ages himself up at the turn of the year.
It's what I do.
>>153571898
He rounded his age up.

>don't say that's how they count age in Japan
It's an alternate history so they count age like that in Japan in Kaguya.
>>153574465
I said not to say that.
>>153574988
It's literally an alternate history, that can be used to answer any questions.

>Aka makes a small mistake
>Explains it away by declaring Kaguya to be an alternate history dating back to the 9th century
Thank you, Aka.

In Akaverse, characters can change age depending on society standards.
Shirogane is using the traditional Japanese aging system where it start from 1 after you born not 0 and his age increases at the new year.
>>153577176
Forgot the system name
数え年
>>153577239
>数え年
I already said, that system is not in use in Japan, it hasn't been since WWII.
so anons called it last thread about shirgane joining shinomiyas family, if it wasn't for the moron and loli that scene would have been pretty heavy.
