== Fraternal Titles (''Onii/Aniki/Onee/Aneki'') ==

Whenever possible, I prefer to leave in the ''Onii''-(chan/san/whatever)/''Onee''-*/''Ani*''/''Ane*'' since the English "Bro(ther)"/"Sis(ter)"/etc. don't convey the same meaning without becoming  unbearably cumbersome or awkward. Further, I think most of the readers are savvy  enough to understand what they mean. I still think it's not a bad idea to use links, brackets, or footnotes to define the terms the first time they're used; but I don't think it's absolutely necessary.

* That long diatribe to ask if you'd please go through and replacing  the existing "big sis", "sis", etc. with the terms that Sanda sensei  used.


On a slightly different note, while I feel the same about other familial titles like ''Otou''/''Okaa'', ''Oji''/''Oba'', ''Ojii''/''Obaa'', etc.; those can often be replaced with things like "Dad", "Pops", "Mom", "Uncle", "Auntie", "Gramps", "Granny", etc.

Really, if you feel strongly about it one way or the other, please let me know. But I'd vote for Romanji of such titles left in w/ definitions used the first time they appear as links or in footnotes (I'll take care of those so you don't have to).

Finally, please leave in the honorifics if you'd be so kind. Whether the reader is aware of it consciously or not, they do a lot to convey the attitudes of both speaker and scene.
