@lordchecha They really do seem to live quite comfortably don't they? Haha.
@perryvitcon I see, it's specifically France that's nagging at you, huh? Well they've been talking about France since the early chapters with Akio-chan being part French, her having lived in France, Kiyora-san's place being named in French, Fukami-kun's brother being in France, so yeah... but I do see where you're coming from.
@Tamerlane I lean toward the idea that the Japanese word just comes from a shortening of animation in English, and that it's just a coincidence that it resembles French. I mean, it could definitely have come from French, but being American I want to believe in an English origin xD, and there's no evidence pointing one way or another, I think?
