Bakkushan: It's a beautiful woman. But only when viewed from behind, not from the front.
Aki ga tatsu: The literal translation of this expression is “the autumn breeze began to blow”, but its meaning, more melancholy, is the cooling of both parties involved in a love relationship after the end of passion.
Hikikomori: is an invented term that designates a behavior of extreme domestic isolation. The hikikomori are young people between 15 and 29 years old who stop studying and working to be supported by their country/family.

Itadakimasu: You must have seen in movies/anime people saying ''Itadakimasu'' before eating or after eating. The word is something like receiving something from a superior, in this case, the "Gods" and literally this phrase means:"I receive / I accept", but the proper translation is as if it were our "Bon appetit" is a bit confused.
