Eh. I get why the translator tried it. It doesn't bother me. I liked the story. I'd rather have Momo sounding like a Valley Girl than not have more Yumi x Momo.
I have never heard of this series before, but now that I have, I pretty much have to find it and watch it. Lovecraftian mythos as Japanese magical girls? I am SO there.
Maybe Alex was too lazy to post spoiler cuz she was watching Kobayashi or maybe because she had rough day at work and didn't have time to post spoiler hmmmmm
Naw, that can't be it. Has to be something more sinister.
In my headcanon, Maki has a crush on Honks because Honks is just sorta cheerfully oblivious to Maki's tsun schtick and that relentless optimism has found a chink in Maki's armor.
