Posts like this get "adult" tag.

Artist comment is: らき☆すた、ちょいリアルこなた

So she's not adult, just more realistic.

She looks more than 16 here, and definitely isn't unusually short and childlike, which is Konata's defining trait, so it passes as "adult".

It's interesting how portraying the loli-esque Konata as the 17 year old she is supposed to be prompts cries of 'adult'. Though I'd swear the 17 year old in Dannou Coil was 22... Anime warps your perception of age, I think.

making sense out of anime will destroy your brain.

Actually, Konata is 18 in the end of the serie.

I need more of this rendition... *drools a bit*

Yes, there needs to be more fanart of Konata drawn in the style of this pic.
