Please report any issues to me if you find them!
@BitBun how do we access the translation on the website ?
everything is in kanji
@Miaourt You can click the Japanese in the panel on the right side to expand and collapse the translations!
@BitBun ohhhh, that's for learning ![]()
@josemanuel @Miaourt No worries! Feel free to respond to the main posts if you have questions any time, though.
Honorifics don't really translate so directly into English all the time. Whether there is a hint of the honorific in the English translation depends a lot on the character, the setting, the mood, and of course the honorific used (and maybe some other factors).
"Chan" is a tad endearing, and in this setting and for Chiyo, always translating it as "little" is a tad overboard. The reason I included it in the last comic is because Ms. Yukari was about to passive aggressively compliment Chiyo on her being a "brat that can study".
So I decided to let the endearing language shine through a little more than I normally would to highlight that contrast (because that's the whole joke, really - she's speaking in an endearing way and then suddenly throws in a kind of inappropriate dig at Chiyo being smart).
I can rewrite the note on the prior page to clarify that for future readers though, good question!
