I definitely think the whole manga spent maybe the first few chapters, tops, meaningfully pretending to be a "detective story" in terms of genre and structure (rather than simply the subject), and even in those chapters it was only pretending, as most of the apparent clues in the first case also...

You just know that "Oh, okay." became a life-long inside joke for them.

Volume 2, as in, the book compiling the already published chapters 7-11. Azmaya made a tweet explaining/announcing the end last month.

Just another hiatus. Both ZUN and the artist have been pretty clear that it's continuing, but I haven't seen any indication of when.

Between pages 7 and 8.

If we assume that Mizuchi and the Fortune Teller's deeds are equally punishable, then presumably the difference would be that the Hakurei shrine maiden knew (or more...?) Mizuchi and didn't want to just annihilate her.

Hime = princess, joshi = woman, himejoshi = female yuri fan. Supposedly derived from the name of the yuri magazine Comic Yuri Hime.

Of course Kaguya would be a himejoshi.

Right. Popping in to say that there were indeed a couple embarrassing mistranslations on my part here, namely on pages 8 and 18. The chapter's been updated to fix those now. Most notably, the part about how the Miyadeguchi were scapegoated as traitors against humanity and the Hakurei, not...

This is the latest chapter released so far. The schedule is irregular and dependent on Ashiyama's other projects, so any future chapters will be translated when they happen to come out. Thanks for reading so far! This series is probably somewhat niche, but it was a big passion project of mine...

Yeah, I also thought that it's a pretty weird idiom from a weird story. But that's what happens with 2300-year-old books sometimes, I guess.

To reiterate for posterity, whereas volumes 1-3 were originally published as entire books and then split into chapters for the Pixiv release, volume 4 was compiled out of chapters that were originally published in five separate batches: 19-21, 22-24, 25, 26-27 and 28. While Ashiyama made slight...

The Karel Capek quote in the first chapter was moved to this one in the 2023 rerelease of the books, changes which were recently made to the Pixiv version too. The first chapter now uses a Tales of Tono quote instead.

Some of the first chapters have been updated to include minor changes Ashiyama made in his latest rerelease of the series. Ch. 1: Pages 2-10 redone with some new art and a couple pages that were in the original book release, but omitted from the Pixiv version until now. Ch. 3: Pages 11-12...
