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

=3. I wanna know why it's a tragedy before I read it. I dislike tragedies.

Spoiler (mouse over to view)
Please try to get as quick info as you can with minimal spoilers... Like -
"X's family dies", "Y dies", or "W dies but is later cloned (or otherwise re-born)" INSTEAD of "AFTER A FIERCE BATTLE WITH THE OVERLORD Z LOSES ALL OF HIS POW--" yeah I want to actually read the story for that part xD


Thankies! biggrin

Some characters die, but not necessarily enough to categorize this as a tragedy. Certain events are rather tragic (especially the backstory of some of the characters) but I don't think that any of that should keep you from reading. This series actually has a much happier ending than I was expecting. biggrin

I'd definitely recommend it. It's an excellent series.

I agree with Alaena, it's definitely worth the read in spite of the iffy tag. I think the companion series Touhou Shinigami is more deserving of being labeled as a tragedy, but it's still really sweet.

A couple of slightly more minor supporting characters die, which is a pity, since they were good characters, but there was still a happy ending. wink

When I said 'death' before 'dishonor', I meant alphabetically.

Imagine what would happen if there were no more hypothetical situations.
