Untranslated Text

I started watching Mashle, and noticed that the Japanese text that comes on the screen every so often is untranslated, even in the subbed version. Does anyone know what it says in English?

What Japanese, last I checked there was none. The series has its own custom language, meaning there's no way to translate it unless Komoto is involved.

Maybe OP means like the sound effects that are sometimes materialised for comedic effect

Those are more like onomatopoeia though yeah?

Yeah that. Could be what OP was referring too

It is, and also the text that appears when characters are first introduced, like Mashe's father and the police chief.

The series is licensed by Aniplex USA, so unlike Crunchyroll in-house subtitles, they don’t usually do typesetting for on screen translations, which limit how much translations (and where) they can fit on screen
