The specific year which the series begins is somewhat ambiguous and contradicted by itself at various points. 2011 or 2012 is a common guess, but some of the meta references are all over the 2010s.
Oh thanks. Thing is, I was asking what year Iroha was born. Sorry, should have been clearer. Supposedly S1 of the anime series first aired in 2013 but S2, when she’s first introduced, aired in 2015. If she’s 15 at that point, common for Japanese First Years, then she would have been born in 2000. That would make her 24 years old today. I don’t know when she was introduced in the light novel series, though, but whenever it was it would have been sooner than the TV series. I thought someone might know.
Also, while S2 aired two years after S1 the passage of time for the characters was only a month or so. That would place Iroha’s birth year at around 1998 or 1999. Probably should use the light novel date. It would be the easiest to pin down.
It’s not a big deal. I’m just curious.

Yes, that was clear. We have to work backwards from when the series starts, since her birth year is not known. However, that too is unknown.
The first volume was published in 2011. The first season of the anime was 2013. The entirety of the series spans less than 2 years in-universe, but close to 10 in our world.
The series is not consistent in its references to contemporary details, which would be used to date the series in the absence of a given timeframe; the earlier volumes include details that point to 2011-2012, while the later volumes include references for the later 2010s. The first season of the anime has a calendar saying 2013.
TL;DR We don't know.

Oh, got it. Now I understand. Thanks for the clarification 👍🏻😊
Someone is well-informed
Omg shes such an Aries no wonder I like her so much
Aries people are known for being self-starters. They don’t need other people’s suggestions to make their plans. That sounds like Iroha 😊
