@Bluefrogs Were you even reading? He clearly said he was an adult, even in his thoughts... he's just stunted, probably from neglect and malnutrition, given that it seems his family basically ignored him.
@Noyoki why r u mad at the OP? You can't just call someone an adult when they're drawn to look like a 12 year old. You can show a malnutritioned person who looks like an adult not a minor. Don't know why people defend this kind of art style
