   Read vol. 2 of the US edition, and now I have to decide whether to wait   
   half eternity for the next volume, but have honorifics preserved, or get   
   timely updates without honorifics. Man, this sucks. Why are there still   
   translations that don't preserve honorifics in this day and age? >_<##
