About article name

[edit]

I think the article's name should be "Koi ha Amegari no youni" not "Koi wa Ameagari no You ni". Check link.(https://shogakukan.tameshiyo.me/9784091867285) -- Phoenix God (talk) 16:29, 13 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Disclaimer: I don't know Japanese, just the very basics like hiragana. So the thing is, Japan has multiple systems for the romanization of Japanese. None of them are exactly "correct" as each system has its tradeoffs. On Wikipedia, the Japanese Manual of Style recommends that Modified Hepburn romanization be used, unless "another romanization is determined to be in common usage in reliable sources". So on the latter front, all of the English-language sources used in the article are from Anime News Network and it uses the current form of the title. The は and に in the title are what are known as particles, which are suffixes or short words. If we go by Hepburn romanization, the current title is correct because は ("ha") is romanized as "wa" when used as a particle, and grammar is spaced out. (in contrast, Nihon-shiki romanization seems to not romanize as "wa" so that's likely what is being used, or just another system being used inconsistently) So we should just acknowledge that there can be other ways to write the title, but by Wikipedia's standards, the current one is the one we want. Hope that helps. Opencooper (talk) 17:53, 13 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Koi wa Ameagari no You niAfter the Rain (manga) – Official licensed title of the anime series. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 10:38, 24 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I pre-emptively made the move. However, I might issue the suggestion of Love is Like After the Rain as the title instead. KyuuA4 (Talk:キュウ) 11:06, 29 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
