Talk:Maria-sama ga Miteru:Volume18 Chapter2

*

otokoyaku

(E: A woman playing a man's role.)

basted costumes

(E: basting is temporary stitching in clothes, which allows the item to be tried on for fitting.)

maiko-san

(E:apprentice geisha)

Gion

(E:Kyoto's entertainment district)

onnagata

(E: "onnagata" is the name for males who play female roles in Kabuki.)

Kansai dialect

(E: Kansai dialect is from western Japan, and strongly associated with Osaka. I think it's just Konno Oyuki playing with the fact that Kana Ueda, Yumi's voice actress, often does roles with a Kansai-ben. I checked the date and the anime had already started production by the time this chapter was published.)
