Posted by Laura on July 28th, 2009

The most marked difference is the fact that upper secondary education (high school) is not mandatory in Japan.

For a long time I knew the honorific of senpai, but didn’t realize that the “underclassman” also has the honorific of kōhai. There’s only been one instance in which I’ve seen kōhai used. This made me wonder why the English publishing companies don’t keep ALL the honorifics.
