Another episode today! This time, Yajin brutally ends the dream of a young fox family, only one mortgage down payment away from owning their first tunnel.
It even uses the very tip of its tail like a blade. If you look at the tail just after Yajin gets cut below his eye, you can see Yajin's blood dripping from the tip.
Thanks for your input. I did debate over how to translate the two mentions of this term (they are the same in the Japanese), and ended up deciding to vary them because in English repetition can become annoying in a way it sometimes isn't in other languages. I admit it's initially confusing, but...
For what is available via the raw suppliers, we're up to date. The full translation of that part says that the "November issue" is on sale from the 27th September. I'm expecting the raws for chapter 64 to go online early in November.
Thanks for your input, it was good advice. It's actually almost depressing how good AI is at image editing now, it feels like any effort from a human artist is a little bit wasted! I guess since AI can do it if people really want it, they can on their own, and so I'll just post the original to...
I did some testing with the next chapter. Original is top, hand painted shadows are on the bottom. What do you think? I'm not so sure about defacing the work of the original artist, but I did enjoy working on it. I currently have the full chapter translated and finished, and with the extra...

I have no idea if this aspect will make into the manga, but it's the primary focus of the novel, so it's hard to see how they avoid it completely.
Pseudo spoiler:
I've been reading the web novel to help with accurately translating the manga, and given what happens in the novel immediately after Yajin speaks with Emden, I wonder if the manga is deliberately avoiding following that plot because it's some real dark shit that doesn't make Yajin look good at all.
In this episode, Yajin neglects to refill his water flask after a cooling swim in the river.
Also, there could be a break after the next episode, but I'm not 100% sure.
