TL notes:
1) “Calendar Change” (暦替, koyomigae) is part of the JP name of the card “Vernusylph and the Changing Season”. The TCG name works for localization purposes, but it doesn’t fit the structure of this article.
2) “Journal of Seasons” (日季, nikki) seems to be a pun on the actual word for journal (日記, nikki), and replacing the second kanji with its homophone “季” (season).
