...For those unaware, the character Jacques-Rosé from the 2006 manga has the same surname. Narita has not explained this in canon, i.e. it is not known whether JRB is related or if this is coinc. For now, the wiki spells JRB's surname as Boronial to distinguish him.
Meanwhile, a bit of fun: Elmer's proposed nicknames for Dalton and Renee are "Captain Dat" and "NereNeReNeRenee."
More tweets to come later; stay tuned!

A few more tweets for the road...
A certain character was once referred to as the "child of calamity and light."
Monica refers to the patisserie owner as 'Auntie.'
Lotto Valentino is located in the NW area of the viceroy's jurisdictional district, not NE.

In a color insert of Vol 5, the official TL writes Denkurō's name in the order "Tougou Denkurou," whereas in Vol 11 it's written "Denkurou Tougou." For now, the wiki is sticking with the order Denkurō Tōgō.
Naritaverse reference: The paragraph referring to a noble/noble family on an island in Prussia's north is referring to the island Growerth, the setting of Narita's LN series Vamp! (series set in mid-2000s).
With regret, I must revive this thread several months later with an additional official spelling confirmation: this Volume establishes Begg's last name as "Garrott." Save for a brief 'Garotto' period, the wiki has historically spelled his name as "Begg Garott."
Vol 12 also uses "Garrott." I apologize for this oversight; although I once knew that Vol 4 didn't include Begg's surname, I forgot over time and didn't think to check it in Vol 11. I will update the wiki with the official spelling. Remember: anyone can update the wiki, anytime!
