If it jams, force it. If it breaks, it needed replacing anyway!

I'm finally getting around to working my way through reading the retranslated versions and I gotta say, they're great.

I did notice a few hiccups, but aside from one sentence, I haven't noticed any glaring issues. Unfortunately, when I read, I never have the mind to take notes and forget where/what those issues were right away... In case anyone is wondering, for example, more recently, I noticed around the time Seina gifts Imperial Gems to the girls, there's an instance it also gets called Imperial Jade. Tho, that could just as easily be a misunderstanding, on my part.

There's only one mistake, that won't get outta my head, so much so, that makes me feel like I'm being trolled. In the scene Airi pummels Seiryo, she pulls off Makunouchi's Golden Combo and the liver blow got typed out as river blow. It's like an annoying song, that won't go away.

liver blow, uppercut, dempsey roll = golden combo

EDIT:
In the original translation project, some miscellaneous content was pruned out to speed up the translation process and I'm actually enjoying those bits & pieces, as I go about reading. One such got mentioned previously, about a girl in accounting being proposed to and at it's core this does seem minute, but the truth is it does have a payoff. In these scene about half of the girls in accounting are proposed to, in order throw a wrench in Seto's plans. But this itself doesn't sound all that important, the payoff comes after Ryo-ohki visits Jurai. Ryo-ohki's visit reminded Jurains what it's like to have children around and now we've got a bunch of soon-to-be newlywed couples... as in Jurai is about to experience a baby boom, in the wake of the events above.

I'm really enjoying all the little extras like that, which itself aren't that important, but help flesh out the world itself. Figured I'd share that with anyone interested in reading these either for the first time or perhaps considering wither or not to reread the novels again.
