I kind of have this problem with english translations.
Are 7-9 grades and 10-12 grades both called Highschool?
I bet originally in japanese they refer to the 7-9 as kokousei and 10-12 as gakousei to notice the difference (besides the age fact however that girl is just so tiny)
@KeybladeMaster Depends on the translator, and I guess kind of on the area ('Murica/England).
TECHNICALLY, grades 7-9 (which, btw, isn't a thing in all countries either. Some stop that numbering when Grade School's over) are Junior/Middle Highschool, whereas grades 10-12 are Highschool.
Thing is, both have "highshool" in the name, so...
@Tatherwood Isn't that only true in English? In Japanese, Junior/Middle Highschool is Chuugakkou/中学校(literally "Middle School"); whereas Senior Highschool is Koutougakkou/高等学校(literally "High School" or "High Grade School") or Koukou/高校 for short. The only word they share is "Gakkou"(学校) or "School".
@KeybladeMaster Koukousei/高校生 is "Highschool Student"...Gakusei(not Gakousei)/学生 is just "Student".
