ビリビリ

I decided to write a little something about the title of this manga(and why I write Chu-Bra!! and not, as some places do – Chuubura), so here we go.

Chu-Bra or「ちゅーぶら」 is a game of words on “Chu” and “Bra”. In Japan people tend do short some words, when used in some cases – Chu (or Chuu) is an abbreviation for “Chuugakkou” which is of course “Middle School” — as we all know, Nayu and the rest were just enrolled in a middle school, which makes the perfect sense. The second part is of course “Bra” – I think it doesn’t call for explanation. Title in full is a game of words stating that this manga is all about underwear(female) in the eyes of middle school students – we could try translating it in many ways as it has no direct translation in English, but imho “Middle School Bra” is the closest one to the original — though it’s not catchy, so I left the original, weeaboo title. The “-” is used simply for aesthetic purposes – to match English way of joining few words that consist for adjective-like  describes.
