In the Japanese school system, Unproblematic schools consist of six grades (grades one through six), while loftier schoolhouse consists of merely three grades (grades ten through twelve) and this implies that Ikuto is likely fifteen-17 years old, thus 4-6 years her senior.
- In response, Amu replied that "in jump I'll be a junior high schooler!" Japanese junior high school ages consist of 12-13 in the seventh grade, which is the first year of junior high schoolhouse. The Japanese school year begins in April and ends in March, with Amu'due south birthday (September 24) falling in between there. That means about five months after the school year starts, Amu will have already had her adjacent birthday. As well of note is children who have their sixth birthday on or before April 1 enter the first class of Uncomplicated school of that year.
