Line 25:
** Athena plays with this one, supposedly being the same age as the male lead for her first two appearances, while [[Older Than They Look]] questions are tossed about. {{spoiler|But as of chapter 300, she's been de-aged to appear six}}. So it's unknown if she's competent, circles around, or stands firmly outside.
* In ''[[The Law of Ueki]]'', all the fighters are middle school students.
* In ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]'', all the people who do ''any'' work or accomplish anything (especially with regards to saving the day) are 16 years old. Sort of explained as most of the 16-year-olds are actually Whispereds - special [[Teen Genius|geniuses]] born with knowledge of Black Technology, all of whom were born at almost the exact same time. Except... the explanation still doesn't cover why Sousuke, who is also 16 (and who is ''the'' most useful character (he is the main character after all)),is still a [[Teen Genius|young genius]] despite not being a Whispered. The rest of the characters (who are older) don't do ''nearly'' as much for the plot.
** However, Sousuke has more experience than some older characters. He has been a soldier since he was a child, while Mao and Kurz weren't. He is younger, not more inexperienced.
