(Takane’s POV): Unable to organize my thoughts, once again,
I heard Sensei’s voice from the square window.
(“Kenjirou”): “At any rate, I’ve acquired the " key . ”
With this, the next ' Heat-Haze Daze ’ can be opened.
Konoha …. you are still ….“

MORE KANO’S AGE / GRADE CONFIRMATION [NOVEL 2]
from diagonal-6010′s translation of Yuukei Yesterday II: (Novels Route; “A Headphone Actor”) [Novel 2]: (*this was the initial fan translation of this scene before the later better-edited one, noted after this; however, PLEASE COMPARE BOTH):
The one standing in front of the door is the voice’s owner, I supposed. He was a teenage boy, around 14 years old I guess.
“Ah? So you’re okay now? This child wanna take a challenge, next on it’ll also be a thrilling challenge, please take care!”
As he said that, I could see flames igniting in his eyes. It wasn’t any kind of sports challenge, but enjoying a game together, together aiming for a high achievement, it did kinda gave us a sportsmanship feel.
As I was happily thinking “Surprisingly this dude knows it huh”, my will to fight for the next round has ignited again.
“Ahh, so onee-chan is the one I’m gonna challenge with? Nice to meet you~”
The challenger was a blond-haired boy who wore a black hoodie, showing a carefree yet deep-meaning smile, he lowered his head and gave a bow.
COMPARE TO:
renna-translation’s later/fully edited version:
I [Takane] opened the door a little, and gave Haruka a look to signal that everything was fine now. In front of the door stood the owner of the voice from earlier: a boy that looked to be in his SECOND YEAR in MIDDLE SCHOOL.
“Ah, is it okay now? It looks like he wants to try, so I leave it to you to make it another heated match!”
Haruka said this with flames burning in his eyes again. It wasn’t like this was a sports competition or anything, but putting it into perspective as enjoying it as a game together, and both aiming for the best, it was true that there was something like a sportsman mentality.
“Surprisingly, this guy actually gets it,” I thought happily as I, too, faced the next match with a fired-up fighting spirit.
“Ah, is Onee-san going to be one I’ll challenge? I look forward to playing against you.”
The challenger, a brunette boy wearing a black parka, flashed a casual smile that seemed to hint at something else, and bowed his head.
the chapter later reveals this boy to be KANO while KIDO also joins in to play against Takane.
+ your very friendly handy Japanese school system reference !!!
^ Hmm, where is that ‘14′ located, I wonder ............... it can’t possibly be on the OLDER END of the school year, can it ?? ?
BONUS TIMELINE ANALYSIS / INFO: - Shintaro & Ayano (in THIS PARTICULAR SCENE OF NOVEL 2) are 9TH GRADE, 1 GRADE HIGHER THAN THE TRIO. - Ayano is about six months OLDER THAN KANO as a result of this. (November 22 [Ayano] -> May 10 [Kano] = about five-six months) - The Trio are ALL IN THE SAME GRADE (here: 8th). - Kano is the oldest of the trio (14 here), Kido & Seto are 13 during this point. - Three years later, Kano is 17, Kido & Seto 16. (Shintaro 18) - (Shintaro’s birthday: April 30th, right after the Japanese school year starts around beginning of April.) - Ayano would have been 17, but died when she was 15 *, (*CHRONOLOGICALLY) ... in her 1st year of high school.
- Haruka + Takane both died in their 2nd year of high school in comparison. - ALL THREE DEATHS HAPPENED IN THE SAME YEAR, - THOUGH Haru+Taka were 1 GRADE HIGHER THAN AYANO WHEN THIS HAPPENED. - MOMO (12) IS YOUNGER THAN SETO (13). [IN THIS TIMEFRAME] - in main canon: MOMO (15) [*CHRONOLOGICAL] vs. SETO (16) - MOMO IS ONE GRADE/YEAR BEHIND THE TRIO + KIDO. - In this particular scene, if Kido was still 13 *, Momo would be 12. - * BECAUSE JANUARY 2 [KIDO’S BIRTHDAY] HASN’T PASSED YET - ** FEBRUARY 14TH HASN’T PASSED FOR MOMO EITHER. - Three years later (main canon; Shintaro is 18), Kido would be 16-going-on-17, MOMO WOULD BE NEWLY TURNED 15. - THE JAPANESE SCHOOL YEAR BEGINS IN APRIL - AND ENDS IN LATE MARCH. - MOMO’S BIRTHDAY IS FEBRUARY 14TH. - SETO HAS A BIRTHDAY IN LATE MARCH. - Since the Japanese school year begins on/around April 1st/2nd, - MOMO’S BIRTHDAY WAS ABOUT 2 MONTHS PREVIOUS TO THE SCHOOL YEARS’ START ON APRIL 1ST/2ND. - i.e. she is very newly turned 15 * from the previous 14. [*CHRONOLOGICALLY] - add a few more months: April 1st/2nd [school year begins] -> August 15th = main canon begins - SETO WOULD HAVE NEWLY TURNED 16 - THE MARCH BEFORE THE MAIN DATE (AUGUST 15TH) BEGAN. * ... but, due to Jin giving Momo a “conflicting age”, we have THIS MESS instead (THANKS JIN)
- Haruka+Takane are both 1 GRADE HIGHER THAN SHIN+AYA. (confirmed via MCA) + THIS SAME NOVEL - Takane is confirmed BY JIN [2013 interview] to be 1 year older than Shintaro, INTENTIONALLY DONE SO BY JIN.
- If Ayano is 15 CHRONOLOGICALLY when she dies, that means her birthday (Nov 22) hasn’t passed yet + she hasn’t chronologically aged to 16 yet because the main canon’s date is August 15th. - thus, Haruka’s (December 24th) HASN’T PASSED YET EITHER. - BECAUSE DECEMBER 24TH COMES AFTER NOV 22 THUS, IN THE PARTICULAR NOVEL 2 SCENE DESCRIBED ABOVE: - Haruka is 15 (younger) while Takane is 16 (older). [*CHRONOLOGICAL] - Ayano is 14 (younger) while Shintaro is 15 (Shintaro is older than Ayano, but younger than Haruka). - Kano is 14 (older than Kido) but about five-six months younger than Ayano. [Kano’s birthday May 10] - Kido is 13 [birthday Jan 2] - Seto is 13 [birthday March 28] (*YOUNGEST OF THE TRIO / OLDER THAN MOMO CHRONOLOGICALLY) - Momo is 12 [*CHRONOLOGICALLY] [birthday Feb 14] - Takane has no canonical birthday [yet], but is confirmed to be made 1 year older than Shinatro intentionally, by Jin. IN MAIN CANON / AUGUST 15TH: - Haruka is stuck inside the Daze. + KONOHA is created instead. The novels + MCA confirm time doesn’t pass in the Daze. - if Haruka does not age IN THE DAZE - he is stuck at around 16 when he dies. - Takane (as Ene) would be 19 (1 year older than Shintaro). - Shintaro is confirmed 18 via multiple sources + LTM lyrics. - Ayano would be 17 chronologically, only turning 18 after the series ends. - Kano would be 17 chronologically, only turning 18 after the series ends, and after Ayano turns 18. - Kido would be 16 chronologically, only turning 17 after the series ends, Jan 2. - Seto would be 16 chronologically, only turning 17 after the series ends, March 28th / after Kido. - Momo would be newly-turned 15 chronologically only turning 16 after the series ends, February 14th. Unfortunately, Jin had to make things confusing by giving her a “conflicing age”. Despite this, chronologically, SHE’S CANONICALLY IN ALL OF THE CORRECT GRADES FOR HER ACTUAL GRADE/AGE RANGES [IF HER AGE WAS CHRONOLOGICALLY CORRECT].
