thank you so much for this, really helps when the translator doesn't include them

Hey I took some Japanese in college (But I totally need manga translations) I was just wondering how a small "tsu" at the end of the word/sound effects the pronunciation.
Hope I'm not being a bother, this site is really awesome btw!!

Is this still being updated?
Yes, albeit a bit slowly. I have a backlog of emails right now (700+). Progress.

A better translation for もじ is *fidget* when you want an equivalent onomatopoeia.
Thank you. This note has been added.

Can I ask what does ズム mean?
It's in the panel, when one guy put his fingers into someone's nose and perhaps he pushed them
A quick look at Jisho tells us it's the suffix "-ism". Do you have an example/context/image for reference?

Thanks so much for taking the time to put up all these SFX! But what is the difference between using hiragana and katakana SFX exactly?
The line is a little blurry now, but formally, hiragana is usually used for Japanese native sounds, whereas katakana is usually used for foreign-based sounds. You will also see that many shojo manga tend to use the more 'feminine' hiragana, whereas shounen manga tend to use 'masculine' katakana.

コポッ
seems you be related to pouring/flowing, but since the ッ doubles the consonant...? Would it mean the liquid that is pouring is thick?? Look at the picture provided in the website url for picture reference.

Eleanor,
this site
Andrew C. Chang in A Thesaurus of Japanese Mimesis and Onomatopoeia says: "さわさわ represents the sounds of leaves, water, or wind flowing or brushing together." So maybe the シャワシャワ is the wind blowing the leaves, plants, or other things outside the school buildings. Maybe could be interpreted as the sound of the wind outside. HTH
