Just asking. The B doesn't happen to be related to Yamada's bust size does it? |

I'm guessing it's either that or her blood type, the gata can mean a lot of things, style, shape, blood type. The Kei is probably translated as "type of person". The H is probably hentai, ecchi? The literal translation might then be: "Perverted B-type girl"? Or I could be completely wrong. |

"gata" is usually used for blood type -> "B-gata"=Blood Type B(I think) and "kei" is used for hobby/obsession(again not sure) ->"H-kei"=likes H or something like this.. it is like "akiba-kei"(akihabara otaku) or "johnny-kei"(Johnny Jimusho's fangirls in this case) |

'B-sized pervert' sounds the most right for me. |

- H is the equivalent of "ecchi" in Japanese. It could mean sex or any perverted thing. - "B gata" means "Type B" |

I had another random thought. What if the B was in fact be possibly a pun on "bi" as in beautiful? After all Yamada does call herself a bishoujo. |

YouTube - I post all my gameplay (Kingdom Hearts, so far) videos here (mostly boss fights), I am currently running through Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix on Proud Mode. I am aiming to catalogue all boss fights in 1080p HD using PCSX2 to emulate and Fraps to record. Give my videos a watch and some constructive criticism. Thanks. |

In the third episode, while Yamada was waiting for Kosuda in the haunted room, she said "B gata ecchi-kei", which was translated in the CG release to "B type eroticism". Also, the way they pronounce H at the title, it definetely sound like "ecchi", and the B can mean many thing as it's coming up in the series very frequently. |

Yes in Japan the B gata referes to the blood type, in Japan there is the beleif that certain blood type has certain personality. Also in Japan they like to play with words, so I think they mean both (blood type and bust cup) because of this costume they have and if you watch the op other girls have F and really their bust is bigger also there is c, and an a for a girl ( her younger sister) About the H they abbreviate the sound of ecchi in H since "eych" (the pronounciation of H) and ecchi is pronounced the same in japanese. |

Gata (型) and Kei (系) pretty much means the similar thing; their relationship is like row and colume. She describes herself of being B Gata H Kei, since she have B cup breast size and H level of eroticism. Simple as that. |

dood, even the Japanese seem to not know what the title means. B型H系のB型とH系って何だ?性行為感染症の型か何かか? B型肝炎 HIV感染症 |
