I appreciate how the author compares the Japanese culture of stoicism and indirectness with the Other World's culture. It gives the other world some uniqueness. Lesser works make them feel like "Japan, but Medieval Europe and Magic."

Then again I can see why doing it the usual way makes it more readable for the home audience in Japan.

"Like a fairy from a dream came to this world."
Oh, uh, busted!

"Kitty, I choose you!"
I'm not sure that scaredy-cat will be of much help.

"I wonder if a foreigner can drink sake?"
Why? It's just a beer-like beverage.

"The moon is so beautiful."
He said the line. Don't think she gets it.

What's odd about calling someone by a nickname if you're family?

And that absurd reaction by calling his name, even if it's just a very slight difference from normal.

I appreciate how the author compares the Japanese culture of stoicism and indirectness with the Other World's culture.
I mean, it's really just the usual Japan-appreciation stuff meant to point out how special they are.

If Wridra was a Pokemon...
Of course the spirits are Japanese, you're in Japan! :pacman:
I won't be surprised since some isekais have areas in their world that sells soy beans/soy sauce/rice and specializes in making katanas. :wooow:

I love the surreal logic of "of course the spirits in Japan would only know japanese..."

酒 is pronounced "sake" but should be translated as "alcohol" (since this is its actual meaning), not as "sake" since the English word "sake" refers to a specific drink and 酒 does not. 日本酒 is a compound word comprised of "Japan" and "Alcohol" and is pronounced "nihonshuu" and should be translated as "sake" since it is the Japanese name for the specific drink we call "sake" in English, not as "Japanese Alcohol".
