English doesn't use brackets for titles. One job of a translator is to localize the text. Japanese use parentheses and brackets for titles, so it's our job to correct those. Also, one space after a period, not two.

[tokyomanly]

Oh, and it's not Harbor Ward it's Minato-ku - that's the name of the area.

[robbaran]

Thanks for the help. I'll make sure to scrap the brackets from now on. I have always typed two spaces after a period (it's automatic at this point). Is this one of those outdated typing rules?

[tokyomanly]

Yes, it's left over from the typewriter/word processor era. It's still not uncommon in people 30-plus, but it's just extra space.
