finally i caught up with the series. All i wanted to say from the start is;
Please for the love of fuck stop using "senior" and use "sunbae" as is im begging you :haa:
Imagine if scantlators started changing senpai to "senior citizen", " oooo ja ja Si Señor " there would be war.
Dont get me wrong, the improvement on the quality is massive, coming from a guy read it from ch1 to ch70 in one sitting.
Just drop the senior. Drop the "Boss" while you are at it. Make it "manager" or some shit.
Keep up the good work chief. Thank you for the TL.

The translation is at ch95 rn so it's probably too late to change those. Sunbae in the end means Senior and Senior is still more accessible for most readers who are not too deep into korean culture. (Though I started using titles more, like Oppa, Noona, Unnie and all that so those are fine but I'll probably keep Senior, it's a bit late to change)
As for Boss, the actual nickname she has for him is "Ossa", which is a word made up from the korean words Otaku and Loner. In English it just doesn't make sense, even if I try to make it Lonetaku or something like that or keep it Otaku.. it just feels weird translating. :meguuusad: So in the end in the recently remade chapter 30 I just changed it to Boss, as he was her manager/helper and club president, and also a teasing nickname around how he is the biggest loner otaku out there (see Ch30). I think it fits, doesn't feel awkward at all, the only thing that could feel awkward is how she started calling him that in the first place. (Also same way she calls Yong Su Chuunibyou, in short Chuuni)
