SIX WORDS:

-The sew-sew’s so…so-so.

Author:

• Kimura, Yuuji 木村 勇治（きむら ゆうじ）
  • It’s Ki-mura, not “ki-MU-ra”
  • 
    

Characters:

• Kudou, Eiji 紅童 衛児（くどう えいじ）
  • Family name reads as “crimson youth,” which is pretty on-the-nose
  • Given name “Eiji” is spelled with the character for “protect” and “child,” suggesting “one who protects the children,” another on-the-nose choice
• Tsukino, Akari 月野 朱梨（つきの あかり）
  • Family name is “moon-field,” given name is “scarlet pear”...the “scarlet” part, of course, connects her name to Eiji’s name (with a red string, perhaps?)
• (class rep) Nanami, Yuuya 七海 夕哉（ななみ ゆうや)
  • Family name means “seven seas,” given name means….err…”what an evening”? Yeah, this one wasn’t chosen as carefully as the main male-female character pair
• Suzuki 鈴木（すずき）
  • The “Suzu” and “ki” are separate parts of the name…so don’t pronounce it like “su-ZU-ki”!
• Tani
• (Head of Adults Party) Yamato, Shiki 四木 大和（しき やまと）
  • Given name means “four trees,” which doesn’t have much significance (other than 4 being a traditionally unlucky number and sounding like “death”)
  • Family name “Yamato” is the name of the Imperial Family’s clan! It’s also a traditional name for Japan itself, and the “Yamato soul” is a way of referring to “the Japanese spirit.” In essence, it suggests that he is a personification of Japan itself!
  • Please don’t pronounce it “yuh-MAH-doe”! Think “yahmah-toe”
