References & Translator's Notes[edit]

"No comment" vs. "Classified Information"[edit]
Kinny Riddle's Lines:
"Just how old are you really?"
"No comment~"
Original Japanese Text:
「あなたの本当の歳を教えて下さい」
「禁則事項です」
Properly Translated Text:
"Please tell me your real age."
"It's classified information~"
For that matter, anytime Mikuru says "No comment", it's actually "classified information". I kind of picked up that this was not exactly the right line, after seeing episode 5 of the anime, so I did an OCR on the raw scans I have.
"I can't take it anymore!"[edit]
The actual line is 「やれやれ」, which is more like the "Oh boy" sort of response. If there was anything like this before, again, it needs to be fixed.
I would interpret 「やれやれ」 to be one of the following:
- "Oh great..."
- "My my..."
- "Oh, here we go..."
- "Oh man..."
- "Oh bother..."
- "Oh bugger..." (British colloquial)
Basically, I think 「やれやれ」tends to be used like a verbal sigh.
"Oh boy...", like you suggested above, fits in fine as well.
