Of course, you do not need to tell me the series' Achilles heel, or, should I say, Achilles' HELL. Project No. 9 is a studio that has recently gotten a lot of attention due to its most recent success: this Winter's Otonari no Tenshi-sama a. k. a The Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten. But in the process of trying to capitalize on said reputation, the studio has gone and done the near-impossible: produce 3 shows in a season, which is relatively unheard of, the last of which was Liden Films attempting this with Saiyuki Reload: Zeroin, Tribe Nine, and Ryman's Club way back in Winter 2022. Most studios are always limited to a maximum of 2 shows per season, simply due to the fact that production circumstances could break down easily in this day and age, and while I feel that Liden Films is the exception to the rule, Project No. 9 is not the case here.

I (half-jokingly) refer to my partner with “kun” when talking to Japanese friends and associates. It’s also a good choice for people (men, in particular) of lower or equal status to you at work or school. In romance anime, in particular, you can be very clued into social subtext by keeping track of a character’s progression from san to kun to no honorifics at all. Again, the choice of honorifics tells you a lot about how one character feels about another. In One Piece, Nami always refers to Sanji as “Sanji-kun,” even though Sanji is technically one year older than her.
This clues us into two insights: that Nami has a soft spot for Sanji, but also that she knows she can manipulate him to do what she wants, as if she
were a senpai (see below!) and he were a younger boy. Chan Chan is kinda-sorta like the female version of kun, except that it’s cuter-feeling. It also can be a bit broader than kun, gender-wise, in referring to any child or pet—specifically because of that cuteness connotation. Chan also carries a vibe of sweetness and innocence. As such, chan can also be a term of endearment, especially for older women. For example, you can use it for a granny-type who’s a total sweetheart.
