Good question. And yeah, “senpai” is one of those gray areas where I’d end up judging each VN on its own merits. If the use of “senpai” isn’t a plot point, I’d probably drop it, opting to use deferential language in character dialogue instead.If the use of “senpai” is an essential plot point, I’d probably keep it in the script exclusive of the other honorifics. That is to say, in the world of our VN, there is a rule that younger students must refer to older students as “senpai.” Simple as that, and fairly intuitive. (Much more so than dumping the entire rats’ nest of Japanese honorifics on peoples' heads, at any rate.)If overall use of honorifics (or lack thereof) is an essential plot point, I’d retain all honorifics. Within reason, of course.
