From Volume 3 of the Yen Press print of K-On!, though I guess I may be being a little presumptuous here. It’s not the first time I’ve noted such things being translated, but on this occasion I don’t own a Japanese copy to refer back to in order to ensure I’m correct.

Honestly, I do kind of wonder what the thought process behind translating such things is – it’s not like it’s significant in terms of establishing the setting, rather it’s entirely inconsequential as to what is going on. Are there really people so allergic to the appearance of Japanese text that publishers feel the need to remove every trace of moon-runes from sight? It just serves to make my work more difficult, as entirely pointless as it actually is.
