Original title was パートナー or "paatonaa", so a loanword for the English word.
Also, this is apparently when the simultaneous releases to the United States ended. Furinkan states that:
"Kyokai no RINNE was American publisher Viz's first attempt at doing a simultaneous manga release the same week the chapter premiered in Japan. This went off without a hitch until this week, when the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami which struck on March 11th disrupted much of life in Japan. Viz was cautious to publish any chapters simultaneously when they were unsure if Shonen Sunday issues were widely available to Japanese audiences. Ultimately the Kyokai no RINNE simultaneous publication never returned and Viz's Shonen Sunday online imprint/web portal was retired."
A bit sad. Of course, now that VIZ has the app, we have Rumiko Takahashi simultaneous releases again!

"Q: What department did you study in when you were a student?
A: History. Because it was grammatical."
