Final arc starting on a cliffhanger.

Well that's one way to start a final arc.

I figure the teenagers wouldn't be able to tackle an empire like that, so the empire is self-destructing while the kids get to deliver the final blow or something.

The prior title wasn't exactly in need of a fix, but sure go ahead.

Love is War is just the refrain of the first OP

With more Pokémon Go :maybe

A shiny Pikachu is a big deal

Next thing you'll be telling me is that Shokugeki no Soma is called Food Wars. What's your point? They just slapped a fan name as a subtitle and destroyed the original title. I could get behind it if it was only the subtitle but they obliterated the "wants to confess" part of the main title. Without that, what the fuck is the point of calling it Kaguya-sama? Don't blindly eat up official releases and their arbitrary decisions. There's plenty of more accurate non-official stuff out there.

In many ways it's even worse than Kimetsu no Yaiba since at least that got to keep the original title as a subtitle.

Great, how exactly is any of that relevant? The official english name is "Kaguya-sama - Love is War". End of story.

If you don't like it, than that's your problem. Don't come into my thread and change the title nilly willy without asking or giving an explanation and then try to make it look like I'm in the wrong.

If you only want japanese titles here, you should make a thread with section rules that state as much.

The title is the title. Localization doesn't make something that is something something else. I don't need to make up some rule to suit my case.

So let me get this straight, you're gonna moderate this section based on what your personal preferences are and if somebody can't read your mind when posting(no section rules), you're gonna edit whatever they posted with no warning or actual explanation?

I literally just said that I would not do that. At this point you're getting off topic.

You already made up the rule. You said thread names at OLF are supposed to have the original name of the work, not the localized one, and then you used your mod powers to remove the user's autonomy to name a thread how they wanted. If a mod decides something is not allowed, it is a rule.

Beaides, how do I know you made the rule? Because the version of this topic at FanVerse is called "Kaguya-sama: Love is War". The staff there did not make the decision to ban localized titles, but the staff of OLF did. It is a specific ban that exists here but not in other forums.

And yes, you need to clarify it in a rule thread, because other people who come from forums where this rule doesn't exist are going to create threads with localized names (since those are becoming more commonplace for manga readers nowadays) and you will have to explain why they got censored by you, every time.

There's no ban, there's no rule, only a slight adjustment to fix the naming sense of this specific thread. Does it being called by the original Japanese title hamper your enjoyment of discussing the series?

It's been done plenty of times by plenty of mods in plenty of sections there as well including both the Akihabara Channel and Arcade sections which I frequent and the OBD as well. It's been done by both myself and others and it's always been accepted happily. Is there a reason why this title is an issue for you? Because both you and the OP are now clogging it up to the point where I might as well make a new one. Also this isn't NF.

Don't make this out to be a censorship issue because if anything the other title was censorship by completing alienating the original intent of the title. There's plenty of perfectly acceptable localization titles. This is not one of them.

No problem. We can have this discussion in the HQ, I was intending to take it there at some point.

Ch. 242 is out.

Neat chapter, it great that we got some more backstory on Kaguya. Really didn't expert her to be the daughter of a prostitute though.
Next chapter is probably gonna be funny as hell, chapters that involve his family almost always are.

This was not how I expected the story to develop at all. But it makese sense, it's more realistic than Myuki and co. trying to take down the Shinomiyas. Instead it's a multi-way war where a previous antagonist actually helps Miyuki for his own selfish reasons.
