What is the best way to translate a dialect or accent of the original language that is not the norm (e.g., Kansai-ben)?
Different country's English accent (e.g., Irish or Australian)
Different American regional accent (e.g., Southern)
Have the character use different slang (e.g., 'pops' instead of 'dad')
Minor speech pattern differences (e.g., dropping the 'g' in '-ing' words)
No difference in translation but have a translation note
I don't care

I think it's because they are in a similar situation, stuck with a power they didn't want, in a situation they didn't choose. Also, as I understand, Yoite is neither male nor female, kinda like... ambiguous like that laugh

Spoiler (highlight to view)
Actually, Yoite is supposed to be a hermaphrodite. He lives as male, looks male, but was born with both male and female organs. He is voiced by a male actor, and referred to as male by himself and others.


Hope that clears things up for you! biggrin As far as I'm concerned, Yoite is male and there is a light dusting of shounen-ai in his relationship with Miharu. It was very light, but it was still there. It could be that female authors don't understand how to write male friendships and that any romantic undertones were unintentional.

Actually, his seiyuu (voice actor) is a woman, Mitsuki Saiga. She usually does male roles, and is very good at it.
