Saikin Yatotta Maid ga Ayashii · AniList

There’s something really strange about the maid I just hired! No normal person could be so beautiful, or cook such amazingly delicious food, or know exactly what I want before I even ask. She must be using magic—right, a spell is the only thing that can explain why my chest feels so tight whenever I look at her. I swear, I’m going to get to the bottom of what makes this maid so...mysterious!

Disease names

Some of the odd name combinations include 'Dream Ears', 'Laughing Herpes' or 'Duck Mouth'.
These sound odd or funny, but they could still easily be turned into a real disease.
Dream Ears could be a fantasy illness which causes ears to lose their function, and which can only be cured by a dream-induced state of mind.
Laughing Herpes could be a form of herpes which causes uncontrollable laughter.
Duck Mouth could be a permanent contraction of facial muscles which causes the mouth to look like a duck's beak, or 'Duckface'.

Seven Seas rewrote a femboy who explicitly identifies as a guy into trans in the BL series "I Think I Turned My Childhood Friend Into a Girl."

"the translator consulted with trans people" Absolutely fucking brilliant. How about consulting with the author instead?
