No no, on that I agree -- I don't really like stuff like that, especially in a story like this where that sort of vocabulary just doesn't exist; it just feels too cutesy in a dark story like this, especially when the story is so European-based -- suddenly reading somebody referred to a "--san" or something suddenly feels like the immersion is broken. An example is Cynthia; she's very nice, but some scanlators include the suffix when she's talking to or about other people --
even if she actually says these things in the raw, It's something I'd personally rather not see when I read the english scanlation.
Doesn't ruin the reading experience or anything, but darn does it come close *shrug.
