--- ¹ Chenmen is a Fudanjuku-coined portmanteau of “change” and “men” and used to describe people who aren’t men dressing up in men’s clothing and “changing” into men. Since I’m unfamiliar with the full nuances of the term, I’ve opted to leave the word precisely as is.

² This is literally just “I’ll absolutely protect you!”, but the language used is really, really rough. I therefore altered the line a little to try to convey that.

³ OSAKAN DIALECT, AHHHHHHHHH. I translated this literally (because I suck at Osakan accents), but it’s totally an Osakan accent, jsyk.

Also, the title in Japanese is written チェンメン天国 (“Chenmen Tengoku”) but is read Chenmen Paradise, (tengoku translates to paradise and the combination of katakana + kanji likely looks more elegant / readable than チェンメン パラダイス.
