    I see that you are having some fun there @Stan_Miller but if you are translating this manga then please consider translate the title too. It's kinda weird to see them untranslated like that.

    To be fair, several chapters ago, the font on the titles were REALLY annoying. There were these stupid hearts in the font that made "tsu", "shi", "so", and "n" all completely identical, so that you had to guess-and-check sounds over titles that were often phonetic English guessing games to start with.

    The font is much simpler now, however, so there's little reason to avoid it.

    ... Oh, and Stan Miller, "flavor eraser" refers to something that wipes out existing flavor residue (apparently, mostly for vapor cigarettes), which isn't the same thing as a "scented eraser".

    Duly noted.
    Thought both were the same thing, should have checked with Google.

    I thought stating this in tn note would be abusing its usage so I'll post here instead:

    "Keshi gomu" == Eraser is easily recognizable by the sheer fact that it's one of the very few, if not the only word that's pronounced "keshi gomu".

    Tho more importantly, it's practically everywhere throughout this arc so there's no way anyone wouldn't think of eraser first when they see "keshi gomu"

    Edit: And just to clarify, while the artist probably provided the pronunciation (in hiragana) to highlight the pun, it's also there to make sure we don't read it as "Ka Shi Ato Mu" or some other irrelevant variations.
