In regards to suffixes. Kun can be applied to boys or girls, it's more masculine. Chan applies to all young children and girls when they're older. Sensei is a teacher/doctor/etc. Sempai is upperclassman, Kouhai is lower classman. San is general and acceptable for pretty much anyone. Sama indicates respect. Chama is a morphing of sama and chan. XD

A LACK of suffix indicates some serious intimacy. Childhood friends, lovers, etc.

@Mikael: So far it`s been really good, they`ve seem to have done research. It even has where they live and how abundant they are. *loves studying Yokai*

@Dei: RAWR! *mauls before trying to crawl into your shirt*

@Deirdre I picture those without suffixes the same way as I do with suffixes. I see no difference, really. Other than adding something else to your name o3o;...

@Tnseukkoi Have you ever watched the anime, Tactics? o3o;

Deirdre: Aw, there goes another lesson! xD
We wont have any suffix rules here. People can just type them when they feel like it. ;3

@Ayame Really? I've only seen volumes 1 and 2 so far v_v" Haven't seen ther rest, but it's really good!

@Tnseukkoi Oh, you haven't? They mention those Yokai you talk about, I believe. I haven't watched it in so long though, I forgot most. The last episode is my favorite <3. I'd watch it in Japanese, though. The English voices bug me ;_;.
