There is also a 2019 English translation of the above which I have not read and cannot vouch for.

the irredeemable pervert is generally well regarded among their friends for their insightful thoughts and all around pleasant demeanour

If I don't see any code geass cosplayers at the revolution themed dashcon I'm gonna be ... well, unsurprised. Because it's a largely forgotten show from 2006. But still slightly sad ... because the revolution themed dashcon is an excellent habitat for code geass cosplayers
