Translators are allowed to use any tense as they need to in narratives, but after editing they should conform to Past tense, and allowing freedom to use present and future tenses as needed. Dialogue should be translated into its original tense, and after editing should remain in the original tense, and again, any necessary changes are allowed. Utilize the chapter discussion pages to determine the most appropriate tense should you not know what is the right choice.

Japanese Honorifics

All Japanese honorifics are to be kept untranslated, remaining in the proper Japanese usage.

Japanese Loanwords
