    Japanese doesn't work without context, so I can't really tell which version is right. Here's the absolutely literal translation from someone who doesn't know the context: 1. Even though fight the squad (group?) commander, there's no way Machi would accept something like that, right? (who is...

    Yes, a new series called Yuragi-sou no Yuuna-san. Yuuna is a yukata wearing ghost haunting an onsen (I suppose this Yuragi-sou).

    Done What is ファウファウ?

    Utsune, so the approximate tl of that line would be "It's not poison, it's a medicine that makes you doped up."? Akisume, that's my signature you're trying to translate. :)

    Done What is ファウファウ?

    I have a feeling it's something nasty, but I can't find any definition to say what exactly it is. It's from here: http://d.hatena.ne.jp/images/diary/i/inaka/2009-04-20.jpg

    Discussion The Japanese Study Thread

    Re: [JP] The Official Kanji Ask-for-Help Thread I used to do that only when I was a beginner. I don't see the need to retype jp text anymore.

    Done Sentence help

    I think your translation is correct. 的 can be added to a word same as the suffix -wise is added in English. So 年齢的に = age-wise, in terms of age, speaking of age, etc. 全日本選抜 depends on the context. I've seen various invitation tournaments referred to as 選抜, so this could also mean "national...
