Torrents are officially the coolest things on the internet for me (at the moment). Thanks very much to everyone who helped me figure them out

Shou bou is a pun for "fireman" I believe?

[elevenses]

Really? That's... wierd. :P But then again, nicknames usually are...

[that_oneill_guy]

Hm. "Shoubou" (消防) definitely means "firefighter," but I always sort of assumed the "bou" in "Shou-bou" was more like 坊, which is an affectionate way to refer to someone else's son. Unfortunately, I still haven't bought the manga, so I don't know how it's written out. *shrug*

It's MEANT like that (from bouyo, right? my japanese sucks), but the pun is there as well.

Could be wrong, but I think -bon is something you might call a younger child. Long time since I looked it up.

It seems like I've heard that before, somewhere. It would make sense, given Tatsuya's reaction every time Shige uses it. ^^

Speaking of whom... love your icon!

If I remember right it's a bit like calling someone 'kid'. Watari calls Hisoka 'Bon' in Descendents of Darkness (Yami no Matsuei). ^_^

Heehee. Poor Tatsuya, he has to put up with so much... ^^

LOL! Glad to have helped you out too! ^^
