I'd forgotten about this girl.

Babe->Bub = Close enough?

I just had a thought.
If Kyonta and Miki had kids, would that require some kind of double "if_they_mated" tag?

Probably more just an example of how Kyonta has picked up his father's more casual and colloquial speech patterns. Miki, in the meantime, seems formal.

Oddly enough, this pairing supports both Itsuki/Kyon and Mikuru/Kyon, just not with the actual individuals. Hunh, will wonders never cease.

Thanks for the translation!

Tagception.

That was, of course, the joke here. I was just wondering if translating omae as "Babe" in one place and "Bub" in another was similar enough to get the meaning across that Kyonta addresses Miki the same way Kyon addresses Koizumi, and vice versa.

if_they_mated + recursion

I think Kyon saying "Bro" would fit better, although that term might see use only in the United States, for all I know.

Kandanchi's tweet (at the time of May 2013):

Only Japanese natives can understand this comic. Because it cannot translate "Anata" and "Omae" precisely.
