General

  • The language used in this project is British English, for the simple reason that the first translator started out in this language.
  • Thoughts, in the Japanese raws placed in brackets '(' ')', should be written in italic
  • Please, no FULL CAPS to indicate shouting, just use one or two exclamation marks and if you wish to emphasize a single word or phrase - sometimes indicated in the Japenese raw with goma-marks (﹅), write it in italic.

Characters

There's no known official romanization for the names of characters, so below is just an estimate of what sounds/looks best. Most names seem to have a European kind of feel (French, German, British). Discussion among translators/editors is of course possible.
