Translation Notes
  1. Curry refers to Japanese curry, which is more sweet than spicy. The main vegetable ingredients are onions, carrots, and potatoes. For the meat, beef, pork, chicken and sometimes duck are the most popular. Japanese curry is not a soup but instead a sort of stew that is eaten on top of rice. Wikipedia: Japanese curry.
  2. I've seen that a sort of unoffical English name for Soreike Otamachan! is "Soup Family." However, this is not a translation of the name nor are the characters solely about soup, which actually isn't soup but Japanese curry (as explained above). The vegetable characters not only frequent the curry but also hamburgers, spaghetti, and more!
