For those that don't know 'chan' denotes your reference is to a
woman.
Damn, something else that's going to eat at me until I figure it out. Oh well, I get to watch FLCL more so I don't care.
actually, no, -chan doesn't denote ur reference to a woman, it's basically making a reference to someone that ur close to, but not in a romantic sense, like 'dear'
so Mon-chan is a little like saying Little Mon, so it's kinda degrading him and saying he's imature... which he is, lol
but -chan can also be a reference to someone u've grown up with, just like -kun, but i don't think that's how haruko is using it, but honestly, because of the fact that there are so many definitions and interpretation, you might actually be right in a way, but to know for sure, check the booklets that come with the DVDs, i know it defines -chan in there, i'll check when i get my dvds bak too
