On a different topic, Yukina's book "ヤミガラスと三四のキツネ" is translated on the wiki as "The Dark Crow and the Three Little Foxes".

1) There's no "little" in that. It's just "Foxes". The diminuative could have been a stylistic choice on whoever translated that but I feel it's an addition that should be removed.

2) "yami garasu", taken literally, means "Dark Glass". However, "Yamigarasu" appears to be the name of the protagonist in this tale, not an object. It seems to be a reference to something from Phantasy Star Online 2, where in there it's just spelled "Yamigarasu" (a weapon/person? NPC woman who has a crow-like appearance).

So...Should the tale be translated as "The Dark Glass and the Three Foxes"? Or "Yamigarasu and the Three Foxes"? Is there anyone who was around when it was first translated who can explain the reasoning behind the original translation?
