Notes:
- Follow the APA format for the type of source you are using. (The example below is a book with Kadokawa Shoten as the publisher).
- For a work in a language which does not use the Roman alphabet (e.g. Japanese) convert (transliterate) the title and other elements into an alphabetical form.
- There is no need to also include the title in the original script (in the case below, Japanese characters).
- Include an English translation of the title, in square brackets.
- Where the publisher does not provide a translation of the title, provide one that captures the meaning of the title.
