I find that it is a pretty quick read, and the lead is a much more sympathetic character than she was in the anime. Heh, hope you enjoy the Twelve Kingdoms novel.

Jokes aside, I think your observation is very pertinent. In ep.8, Manabi sticks out her tongue in a situation where I would use a more appropriate gesture (sorry for the small spoiler again). I was shocked, because I completely stopped thinking about her as an 11-year old by that time. But then I saw my own 18-year old doing the same. O tempora, o mores. If young adults do this in 2007, I shudder to think what they'll do in 2035... http://www.flickr.com/photos/zaitcev/466752202/ There was a theory that Seioh is a special school for 10-year old progenies.
