Also Translator Notes. Many manga books include notes on issues with the translation. One manga I've been reading (English Title: Farewell, Mr. Despair) contains many pages of translation notes about things to help English readers better understand the story. The story features many references to Japanese history and pop culture in the story. A number also include at the beginning an explanation of honorifics (which indicates the relationship between individuals). As an example, only intimate friends refer to each other by their personal name only, without an honorific.
