(1) One way of saying 'I love you', in japanese, is 'Suki da yo'.
That's "I like you"!
I won't argue with you. I'll simply say, that if Viz translates 'Suki da
yo' as 'I love you', then that's good enough for me.
Two things: 1) Don't take Viz's translations as the end-all authority
(don't kill me Trish, at least I didn't criticize your work directly this
time!!), and 2) SUki da yo, while literally meaning 'I like you' as
opposed to the more format daisuki da yo, IS still used in place of 'I
love you' more informally. Something I learned during my time in Japan
as an exchange student, and through the time I spent taking the language. :)
