| Is it me or does the title feel like it's missing an "I" as in: "A Neat and Pretty Girl at the Transfer Destination Was a Childhood Friend Who I Used to Think That She Was a Boy and Played With Her." I think the I is somewhat necessary to indicate who played with who, since the "she" made it sound like the girl herself thought she was a boy, which is why the I is very necessary for simple clarification purposes. Let me know if you think i'm wrong in anyway, i'm not claiming this is the right way, this is my personal view and 2 cents on the matter. |

| @Alexioos95 i wouldn't be surprised if the author came up with that title, since there are precedent cases for this issue. |

| Well I also think light novels title when translated directly, won't always make sense. Like, if you directly translate "Sekai Saikou no Ansatsusha, Isekai Kizoku ni Tensei suru" it becomes: "The world's best assassin, To reincarnate in a different world aristocrat", instead of "The World's Finest Assassin Gets Reincarnated in Another World as an Aristocrat" |
