--- Quote from: Drake on November 22, 2017, 01:10:34 AM ---It's Hieda in that instance and still Hiedano everywhere they use her name, which is exactly the kind of totally ass-backwards that I was warning about earlier. They have editor notes that say she is a reference to "Are Hiedano", which you literally will not get any results for when googling despite being a known figure. Amazing.

Actually, hilariously enough, when I google "Are Hiedano", I do get results...except it's because Google is actually smart enough to recognize I actually meant "Hieda No Are" and gives me wikipedia page with the correct name spelling in it.
--- Quote ---Also, to try and cut the flow before it spreads, while the book's translation credits ZephyrRz, more well known as Kafka-Fuura in these parts, they themselves assert that they did not translate the book. As they had previously done work with YP, their opinion seems to be that someone is using their name somehow after hands switched on an old project.

Seems like it was a mistake from YP's side and are gonna fix it in later issues.

That's a relief.

Up in the cold north of Europe, waiting for Amazon to deliver me vol. 1, Looking forward to finally having a physical copy in my possession.
Not too bothered by the Hiedano thing myself but it is clearly a really, really lazy mistake to make. Can't say I've seen 'no' been combined into one name anywhere else, so it's really weird. Hopefully with feedback that's not gonna happen for later prints/volume 2.
Drake:
They've claimed that it's an intentional decision, and the fact that they use "Are Hiedano" in the notes reinforces that claim. They haven't responded to any requests for clarification as to why.
myon:
Well that's pretty cruddy, I can't imagine anything that justifies that change. It's gonna annoy me now as a result, hurgfh
