Sorry about that. ;) And yeah, I wrote “to” instead of “too” and forget the question mark. Sorry about that. ;)

What really annoys me though is the lack of comma, especially after names, such as "How are you COMMA Rin-kun". Since English isn't my first language, I might be wrong, and leaving out a comma isn't that big of a deal?

Still, better than looking at MG's hideous font. I wish there were font hacks for their other games...I'm not going to play any og them until the hack comes out or MG realizes that they made a bad choice.

Well, compared to their previous releases, which at times felt like AGTH translated VN, this one certainly their best release... But i dunno, i just yet to feel that they really care or part of the community... that they truly care about the title they bringing.... well, maybe that's just me..... http://nnl1.com/miscfile/0816-1.jpg

But then again, I applied it before using even my first activation. Zombi, the font patch doesn’t cause any problems with DRM as far as I know.

Also a few things just don't sound right at times such as the discussion of jumping into ponds when it rains. Was it an intentional misspeaking since sia isn't a native speaker of Japanese or a mistranslation? For the most part though it is pretty enjoyable and these issues were few and far between. My biggest gripe is I can barely read the font sometimes. I had to darken the text box almost all the way just to read. I wish they would add an option to change fonts or at least pick one that is more readable on the default background. I don't know if it's an issue with the font being to thin or not but I also had the problem with kirakira and that was worse for me since the text box takes up the whole screen. I did see a 3rd party patch for the font but I don't know if it causes issues with the DRM so I have not tried it.

It's just seems less common amongst fan translators from my experience. For instance, the series 天上天下 was romanized as "Tenjou Tenge" by fan translators while the companies that licensed it made it "Tenjho Tenge". Sometimes, people would just get rid of the "U" or the "H" all together, opting to call it "Tenjo Tenge" instead. But yeah, Otou-sama looks better than Otoh-sama IMO.
