They seem to young to be in this kinda manga, but they could be highschoolers for all I know! So does anyone know how old they are? ________________ Glados is a bitch.

If I was at my apartment right now, I could give you an actual age, but all of the main characters are in their second year of middle school, while Shinoura is a first year. I guess if you go back to the beginning, we first met them at around age 10 or 11.

I think they should have started in middle school and then been in high school for the current outbreak. But at least Shinoura is a believable character amongst the incredibly improbably ones.

So yes, they'd be around thirteen or fourteen. At the beginning, though, they were about ten or eleven ________________ Glados is a bitch.
