"Honne"?Yes, I heard it from Intrepid-san the other day.In English? Nuh-uh, I don't think we have a word for that.So it's like how Ark says "Not bad".To say something while feeling the other way, isn't that a lot of trouble?Isn't it?It is something peculiar to sophisticated cultures.When she could simply have said "Good"?But it's fine that way."Honne" and "Tatemae", was it?
"Honne" is what one is actually thinking or feeling, "Tatemae" is the face one puts on to hide it. VERY important Japanese concepts.
One's True Feelings
"Honne"
I've chosen not to translate it in the comic, as the content regards the word's nature as not occurring in other languages
