Japanese text in Chapter 1? I thought this was a translation, so why is there Japanese here? Moreover, in the text, there are brackets that are used as a way of summarizing portions of the book rather than translate the story as it was writ (i.e. [Some Poem] ) It may seem to be a bother, but it flows more with the story if all of it was translated, just as it was in previous volumes.
Examples:

"源俊頼(! ). 百人秀歌."
