Every time someone says they prefer the OG dub over the Viz one, I always show them this. Like seriously, it would've been SO much easier to say they were best friends.

[@bungleded]

It's so great they're cousins. It's really great. That's why I love how they can't go a single episode without mentioning the fact that they're cousins. I also really love the cousinly moment at the end. "Leave it to me, Cuz" while inches away from her face. I'm glad that my cousin and I are finally being represented doing what we cousins always do.

It was probably worse from a homophobic perspective. Made them just seem like kissing cousins instead of just kissing. Fucking wild. They even kept scenes in that could of been cut that made them look Romantic.

[@suchiuomizu]

Though cousin marriage has never been a taboo in Japan. If they had been incestuous lesbian cousins in the Japanese version, the fact that they were two girls would actually have been the bigger deal to them. Japan is only 'learning from them' with the stuff that would actually be taboo over there in real life, primarily siblings or parent/child.

Idk in several Asian languages there are formal ways to refer to someone and levels of closeness to those formalities, so I assume it's a combination of homophobia and the way it translated to English
