I'm not an official editor, but I'm looking to do more of it, and I did some minor typo fixes and changes to make it "flow" better. I have some questions/comments though: |

| − | The use of Japanese titles is not consistent. In one point, Nishimura-sensei is referred to as "Nishimura-sensei", but later on as "Sir." According to the tl note, "Nishimura-sensei was used because "Nishimura-teacher" sounds strange. If we wanted to make it more accessible, we could call him "Mr. Nishimura" (In English we add "Mr. Ms. or Mrs. before a teacher's family name) If you want to keep it as sensei, then we should also change his title later on from "Sir." to "Sensei" |

| − | "Class Division" sounds strange. I think "Placement Test" would work much better, but since it's used so many times, I wanted to suggest it here. |

| − | I believe "Gakuen" translates to "School" or "Academy". I believe replacing this with School or Academy would make the story more accessible, without needing any localization. Again, this is used frequently, so I wanted to suggest it here. |

| − | This one isn't as important, but are we using British or American English? |
||
| − | |||
| − | “What! Is my skin colour more important than you being late for school?” |
||
| − | |||
| − | British English is "colour", American English is "color". |
||
| − | |||
| − | It might help to pick either British or American for consistency, since a good amount of words are spelled differently. Again, this is a more major change, so I wanted to check with the main editor here first. |
