Common Questions

Q: I typed 女 as "onna" and it was marked as wrong

The game uses a romaji conversion method similar to how IMEs work. If you try typing "onna" on your Japanese keyboard, you will see it will produce おんあ, and not おんな. If you are having issues with this, using a Japanese keyboard directly can help until you get used to it.
