## Important notes

- **Media Titles**: Kagi Translate tends to use "official" translations for well-known media titles, which may differ significantly from literal translations. For instance, the Japanese manga title "Sousou no Frieren" is translated as "Frieren: Beyond Journey's End," reflecting the commercially accepted version rather than the literal "Funeral Frieren."
