Episode 78 - “Hanamaru Commendation Division“
Translation Notes
Koupen-chan abbreviates the actions of everyone in the meeting as hou-ren-sou which also means “spinach” in Japanese.
The actions, in order, are Reporting (houkoku), Contacting (renraku), and Consulting (soudan). Trying to make a pun for something as specific as spinach was a bit daunting so I decided to keep it as-is. It’s midnight.
“Commendation Officer” felt too much like a disciplinary officer, which is the opposite of what Koupen-chan is doing, so I opted for something more neutral like “On-duty Staff.” It’s a mouthful, but it gives the sense that Koupen-chan is providing a service (praise), rather than acting as an officer inspecting their work.
