Question: What do the small characters next to the big characters mean?
Big characters やり直し (kanji): Yarinaoshi (do again)
Small characters (katakana): Undo (English word)

While I'm at it, the other two
即死 sokushi: Instant Death , read as Death
反射 hansha: Reflection, read as Reflect

Alot of chuuni works do this, they use difficult/cool kanji then give equally cool (for them) English word as the reading. I said for them because the English words chosen can sometime be clumsy, so the translation team has already improved them in the translation

This 1 comment has sparked something in me to do some research into the 4 Japanese character types (Hiragana, Katakana, Kanji & Romaji) and I have learnt of something called Furigana, which is Hiragana above Kanji characters when a character is rare or irregular.

This is very interesting. I don't think I have ever had so much fun in learning a language before. School never make me feel like this while learning other languages!

School is a bit complicated. I'm a teacher irl teaching English, between having to follow the syllabus, the materials being dry yet I don't have the time to research for better ones, mixed level students and students just straight up don't want to be there, learning in school is just different than learning by yourself fuelled by interest. Been trying to at least try to pique students' interest to look up things for themselves for years, and when it works, makes me happy 😁

Didn't expect that to happen in a forum discussing horny manga though 😂

I attend VSV (Virtual School Victoria) which is an online school in Australia. I really couldn't focus in mainstream schools.
The first Primary school I attended, the language we learnt was German. The second school, Auslan (Australian Sign Language). After starting high school, the language I learnt there was Indonesian.
I'm having more fun learning Japanese than I was learning the other languages I had previously been taught.
