The (Age 6) is actually an honorific, like -san or -sama or -sensei.

He grows smaller as his classmates grow bigger, until at age 18 he's noticeably taller and more muscular than Damian, but within the standard deviation for a teenage athlete.

It's kind of crazy how much of an instant success this has been at every level. Even from the very first chapter it felt like everyone was talking about it.

it's an extremely good premise set in a very unique setting with excellent artwork and action and a cast of entirely likeable characters including one extremely marketable one.

there's really not much mystery to why it took off like a rocket.

I think it helps it's also pretty easy to recommend. Aside from some of Yor's violence being a bit extreme it doesn't really have any of the Warning Moments I can think of. It's just a doofy goofy adorable comedy that sometimes has serious moments or violence.

It's also got strong 4 quadrant appeal. You get jokes, you get action, you get slow burn romance with a damaged-but-caring handsome dude who just feels differently about this girl than anyone he knew before...

It's got something for almost everyone, done well, and very little to drive people off.

Besides comedy, action, and romance, what's the 4th?

To be serious, four quadrant appeal doesn't refer to genres, it refers to the four major demographics of movie-goers - under-25 female, under-25 male, over-25 female, over-25 male.

Including comedy, action, and a touch of romance is a good way to hit the quadrants, though not the only one.

What's up with Yor's brother being all weird and possessive about her? I'm on volume 5 and I get that she took care of him when they were little blah blah blah, but like hes jealous of Anya because she has a connection to his sister is odd. Is this like a manga trope or something?

Welcome to anime/manga!

There are at least three other running mangas in the same magazine that have characters involved in brother/sister complexes!
