So it's close to "hostess" as I guess. Thank you for your explanation.

"Mistress" to me brings up the same connotation that kuro_shiro brought up, but obviously I realize there are alternate meanings.

"the female head of household" is too clunky to write over and over, also doesn't work as dialogue
"the missus" is not standard English
"the Mrs." is just not used that way
"Mrs. Wakamatsu" would be inaccurate linguistically although would be the second-best approximation grammar-wise
"the wife" is rude
"Wakamatsu-san's wife" is clunky and inaccurate
etc. etc. etc.

I suppose "Madam" could work, if it were in dire need of changing (though it isn't, but perhaps for the anime version...).

I support the original translation by Abbles. The word was used correctly.
Oh, and we've used it a million times now to refer to similar characters, in both anime and manga releases. Nothing new~

I never said the word wasn't used correctly and that there was anything wrong with it at all. XD Was just saying that I see where the other person is coming from.
