    Madobe no Linoa - Vol. 2 Ch. 7 - Angels and Demons

    Sorry it took a while for this chapter to come out, but to be honest I was quite disappointed in it so didn't want to work on it much (lovely art, as ever, aside). Nothing about the cold case investigation makes sense in terms of the amount of evidence that has been previously missed - three...

    Record of Festivals - Vol. 1 Ch. 5 - The Ritual Dance of Five Zero Five Six

    So my understanding: - an alien ship malfunctions, and its crew escape in escape pods (which later become known as amafune, celebrated in the festival at Kusudo in chapter 2). - when the crew awaken and emerge into Earth's atmosphere - something which happens on a staggered schedule, hence the...

    Record of Festivals - Vol. 1 Ch. 3 - The Festival of Yajuumaru

    I'd agree with both your labels of "anthropological sci-fi" and "speculative fiction". "What if festivals were created by aliens" is a fun premise, with its melding of past and future, but at the same time you could almost strip all the sci-fi away from it and each chapter would work...

    Hon nara Uruhodo - Vol. 1 Ch. 1 - The Last Rites of Books

    Japanese libraries, like most around the world, have fairly long lists of rules about what they'll accept as donations - which doesn't include books they already own, books in dodgy condition etc. It's unlikely much of the kind of inventory that is being disposed of would be acceptable...

    Hoshikui Goroshi no Egnaro - Vol. 3 Ch. 9 - Chapter 9

    In case people haven't seen the news (and read this comment), Egnaro's cancellation was announced a couple of days ago (late August). Hopefully the final remaining chapters will be collected in tankoubon form - there's three more chapters, albeit still all from the flashback arc. If not, I'll...

    Akuma Nisei - Vol. 1 Ch. 3 - Operation: Exorcism Seminar

    Another one fixed - somehow failed to export the PNG of page 109 when I translated it originally (thank you for using the original page numbers, which makes it much faster for me to find mistakes). Thanks!

    Gin no Mugibatake - Vol. 1 Ch. 1 - The Silver Magician

    Just a quick note to say thank you very much for translating Silver Wheat Field! I bought the whole series based on the covers but didn't end up liking the first chapter very much (irritating female lead...) so didn't push on - but it's much more accessible when I don't need to look words up...

    Akuma Nisei - Vol. 1 Ch. 1 - Initial Introductions

    Whoops! Added back in. Thanks!

    Akuma Nisei - Vol. 2 Ch. 12 - Into the Dream

    Side note - while I can't prove it for certain, I'm pretty sure the title of this chapter is drawn from the classic pop song Yume no Naka E, which is also famously the ending theme for the excellent shoujo anime His and Her Circumstances (KareKano). The next chapter's title is also the name of...

    Akuma Nisei - Vol. 2 Ch. 12 - Into the Dream

    Thanks - fixed it.

    Record of Festivals - Vol. 1 Ch. 1 - The Bell Hunt of the Maidens of Ikuno

    There's more than one bell. Chizu gives her bell to Teora and Mihoko refuses to take it to proclaim herself the Blessed Maiden, which is why both Chizu and Mihoko are so surprised when the Blessed Maiden is chosen during the festival, because another bell has been procured from somewhere...

    Akuma Nisei - Vol. 2 Ch. 12 - Into the Dream

    Should have been added by now, I just...forgot it. Oops.

    Hon nara Uruhodo - Vol. 1 Ch. 1 - The Last Rites of Books

    Ohhhhh. Ooooooh. Hmmmmm. Well, in that case...
