u can tell they're reserving kiss for kisu and smooch for chu but like. if the point is to make him sound a little babyish give him a word that makes him sound babyish in english and not like a sex offender fhcjvjvj
right, like afaik "chu" in japanese is a little cutesy but still a relatively normal word for people to say? whereas NOBODY in english is walking up to their bf saying "let's smooch" lmao. Not trying to shit on the translators, I think there's just not a good english equivalent here
translating "kiss" as "smooch" every time is sending me (in a bad way lmao)
