How'd they get JS from shougakusei? Or wait, is that like "junior school" or something, to obscure its meaning further?

[–] raman_klogius@ani.social 4 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

The abbreviation takes the form of XY where X is:

D for danshi/男子 (boys) or
J for joshi/女子 (girls)

And Y is:

S for shougakusei/小学生 (elementary schooler) or
C for chuugakusei/中学生 (middle schooler) or
K for koukousei/高校生 (high schooler)
