Should it 'The Girl's Trust'? Zeru (talk) 22:59, 7 May 2013 (CDT)
- Girl's/Girls' is ambiguous whether in katakana or kanji (and will have to be decided based on the chapter contents), but Trust/Tryst is ambiguous in neither. Kanji would be completely different, and Tryst in katakana would have an 'イ' (or at least something from that column) in it, which Trust would not. If you feel it more likely that it deals with a single girl rather than several acting in concert (even better if you have the original text to check), it probably doesn't matter if you step in and change the apostrophe location for until an official decision is or is not made. -Multipartite (talk) 02:34, 8 May 2013 (CDT)
- Edit: I've found the table of contents, http://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/images/0/09/DAL_vol_6_009.jpg , and the word is 'shoujo-tachi' (with 'no' as the possessive), so definitely Girls' (since plural). 'Tryst' is kanji; checking it just in case. Indeed 'ouse', tryst, unless there's a different possibility for the hard-to-read second character. Probably not, since JDIC has only fifteen words with the first character in it, and only ouse's second character has the water radical on the left.

- A question which just occurred to me is whether it's 'Tryst' or 'Trysts', but it seems relatively unlikely that several girls are having multiple trysts with multiple people, and more that they're having a single simultaneous tryst with the same person. Then again, it could also be sequential trysts. For the moment, leaving it as it is at least until more is known. Ah, also changing the chatper name in the main contents page as well. -Multipartite (talk) 02:49, 8 May 2013 (CDT)
- Second edit: (In both summaries, I misplaced the 」... aghh. No translation effect for now, unless one wanted to put it as [Third edit: deleted due to double-'s causing italics. -Multipartite (talk) 02:59, 8 May 2013 (CDT)], which could be inconvenient in terms of the readability. *shakes head to clear it* Sticking to the minimum necessary alteration, that being the insertion of the missing apostrophe after 'Girls'. Yes.) -Multipartite (talk) 02:58, 8 May 2013 (CDT)
