Thanks for picking up this series, its better then i expected once you read more of it.
though regarding the note at the end of the chapter... i cant say i agree. noire means black, and that character has black hair, the other ones name means white and is white colored. i think its fairly clear the author chose the names for those meanings and regardless of the japanese characters used, the sound seems similar enough to me where either of them could be interpreted as "noire".
