go to it without her parents getting involved financially (and thus
knowing about it)? ] [GT]

[Remember, she talks about how things are't going too well, and she can't
let it go on like it is, since she paid for the tutoring herself. I
guess Yagami comes from a well-off family, that she get enough allowance
to even pay for her own tutoring/juku...] [YS]

a slurred watashi. I did not know whether the small tsu after the
tata represented a slurred s, or an _. I would get a page with
a drunken slur on it for my first translation!] [MWD]

[I think the translation looks fine. The speech really isn't drunken
slurred speech, although it is hard to understand. But it's really
closer to how people *really* pronounce words ^_^.] [YS]

see nervousness creeping into her expression.

Yagami goes to Godai, her hands clutched apologetically in front of
her.
Yagami:

of the --but that's not important, I think...] [CN]
SFX: `calmly' `kero_'
[My dictionary gives "suddenly", or "calmly" for "kerori".
She's turned around all of a sudden from her apologizing, and takes
somewhat of a defiant attitude.] [YS]

[Me, I think she's fighting to remain calm in the face of Godai's
rising anger. Defiance would lead to shouting which dear Papa would
hear. Not that Godai follows her cue...] [CG]

dad finds out that Yagami'd been doing this whole thing without his

Maybe just "all the more (reason)"?] [CN]

[ = go-and-fetch, so maybe:
I'll go fetch/get your shoes, Sensei.] [CN]
---
["kuru" is come, "iku" is go, deshou? So I see "totte kuru" to mean
fetch-and-come-back more than go-and-fetch. Same basic idea as "itte
kimasu" (go and come back).] [MWD]
---
[Sure, but I've come to see that and sometimes are
better reflected by using the *other* English word... That is to say,
you wouldn't likely hear an English speaker say "I'll fetch your shoes and
come back." You'd more likely hear it as the flip-side of the action,
"I'll go and fetch your shoes."
In this case, however, I'm also just giving you the Sanseido dictionary
listing for .] [CN]
---
[Having covered this as one of the last topics in our Japanese
class, I can tell you what our sensei would say: basically Craig
is right. Due to the different emphases of the two cultures, in
English you would say, "I'll go ," whereas in Japanese it's,
" and come back." In English, the emphasis is on X, whereas
in Japanese, it's on whether you come back.] [BC]

[I have no idea how to translate "MAOTOKO". They're guys that are

Maybe "philanderer?" "Cad?" "Adulterer?" [BC]

I fully agree that there is not good single-word equivalent. It seems
like "adulterer" comes closest, though. [YS]
