<p>On <strong>Sousei</strong>'s birthday (25/10), the official Donten ni Warau <a href="https://twitter.com/donten_pr">Twitter</a> published a string of tweets which included the characters' congratulations towards Sousei. I've translated the text from Chinese (the original Japanese was translated by <a href="http://www.weibo.com/1795590087/BtfgkjxDk?from=page_1005051795590087_profile&amp;wvr=6&amp;mod=weibotime&amp;type=comment#_rnd1414750438185">this user</a> from weibo) so it might not be as accurate. I'm sorry for posting this late, since I've been preoccupied with my exams the last two weeks.</p>
<blockquote>

<p><span>* The original text says 生日快？</span></p>
<p>**&nbsp;<span>From the translator's comments, it seems like Tenka wasn't exactly polite with his last sentence. I had to take some liberties with the translation for this sentence.</span></p>
