Isn't it supposed to be "boy"? Like the way grandpa called kiriyama. Also iirc "anija" means older brother but in edo period
I think I was aware of the 'anija'/'aniji' thing (was it mentioned in TL Notes somewhere? Either way, I feel like I've been familiar with that one, but maybe I just learned about it since then, though). I was just wondering if the 'Bou' thing was sort of connected to the familial term usage, maybe? It's been over two years, to be fair, so I'm not quite sure what I was going for with that questioning, but that just feels right.
Also, cute Umino-sensei art on your profile. Reminds me that one of these days I want to go back and check out Honey and Clover.
