Slightly confused by character ages in S2
I'm starting watching it now but the characters don't quite line up with how I would've expected so I had to check.
My understanding from season 1 was that it went roughly Mai final year of high school, Sakuta and other high schoolers like Futaba 2nd year, Nodoka and the other idols 1st year, and then Kaede in the middle of middle school
Is that not correct? In season 2, which I thought was about 2 years later based on the fact that Kaede is preparing for high school and Sakuta is preparing for college in the movies, Mai is seemingly already out of college. And Nodoka and the others in her age are already in college, which would make everyone 1 year older than expected. Is there just an entire extra year skipped with no mention of it?
