What's going on with the titles making the Hepburn titles the main one?

[radstylix]

I just noticed some of the series I've been reading have started using the Hepburn titles instead of the English ones?

Is there a bug going on, or a new rule or something?

Sorry if it's the wrong thread for this... but non-JP readers (most of us) can't memorize all of the stuff we read in Japanese.

IIRC, MD is trying to get all the titles classified by language so they can offer a user option on which to use for titles, but in the interim most titles are going to end up using a transliteration option by default. (One of the mods may be along to correct or expand on this shortly.) (Edit - and there they are!)

Hi, main titles are being changed to the romanization in preparation for a upcoming rework for titles pages to add more customisation to the website.

Once the rework is done, users will be able to see their preferred titles.

Currently the preference for main titles is the following:
Romanisation of native title > Official English > Native

Unofficial translations should never go into the main title.

Ah thanks for replying. I figured something like that was going on.
Would be lovely to have the option to use English or Hepburn

Great, finally I'll be able to rid of trashy English titles!

But some of them are accurate translations from Japanese so the series itself is trashy regardless if it's in English or not 😅
