Why’s she dressed like a Japanese schoolgirl?

It's for teenage suicide prevention. Which makes the sex thing worse.

But not unusual in Japan!

Because the comic is inspired by Japanese 4koma comic structure.

The artstyle is also very reminiscent of old manga/asian comic styles (like 1970s 1980s) so it would make sense the boy and the girl are dressed in that fashion

This comic (called Sexy Losers), is where the word "fap" came from, BTW. It was an extremely popular web comic back in the early 2000s, so the word spread like wildfire and eventually became bigger than the comic itself.

I guess she's a Japanese schoolgirl.
