    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.

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

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

    My understanding was "All The Books You Can Sell" was an official title, as it was used in a recent English-language Oricon news post (although I can't actually read it due to region blocking...) about it being nominated for the Next Manga Award and is a more localised translation of "Hon Nara...

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

    You're absolutely right - my apologies for the inaccuracy in my translation.

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

    I'm more than slightly mortified to discover that the first chapter was just a republication of a one shot that's already been translated. I don't have any particular intentions of coming back to this any time soon - this is an excellent, award-nominated manga, and I am pretty confident it will...

    Akuma Nisei - Vol. 2 Ch. 9 - Danger: Do Not Touch!

    I think it's about convenience in art more than anything. There's no further acknowledgement of the demon behind Satou for the rest of the chapter - I think Shiba is trying to say to us as readers "yes, remember this from volume 1, now that's dealt with Kiku and Satou can have a conversation in...

    Akuma Nisei

    Thought I'd reply to this as follows: I don't read manga in anthologies so it will always be volumes that I translate, so I'm afraid updates will be on a yearly basis for Akuma Nisei based on its current release schedule (and also assuming it doesn't get an official English release which I...

    Gensho X Chotsune Gensho Sosaroku - Vol. 1 Ch. 1 - Flames

    Oh, fantastic! Then that's the end of scanlating it from me. I reckon it'll do well.

    Hoshikui Goroshi no Egnaro - Vol. 3 Ch. 6 - Chapter 6

    It's not just my translation, I swear! The action is incredible, but also as you say slightly incomprehensible. The next chapter is only about ten pages long and is almost exclusively sound effects, but then we're going into a flashback arc where the people have actual faces and talk more, so...

    Kyonen no Yuki - Vol. 1 Ch. 6 - My Youth in Manga

    It's part of the reason Muraoka started the series; for him, it was about getting down his memories of people that he'd never get the chance to meet again (presumably, therefore, his younger brother is already dead, if that's who he was going to write about in part 8?). It's not just the fact...

    Kyonen no Yuki - Vol. 1 Ch. 3 - Benedict (Fumiko Okada)

    Just a dumb mistake which I've now corrected and should shortly be uploaded.

    Kaguya-den

    I'm still here. I'm not really sure what to do right now, to be honest. When I first saw news of the takedown I thought Kaguya and Marronnier would be fine, because people seemed to be sad that they were taking down scanlations of hugely successful series that have long-standing commercial...

    The Seven Knights of the Marronnier Kingdom - Vol. 5 Ch. 21 - To the Depths of the Sinkhole

    So it looks like Marronnier's been DMCAed, although weirdly only up to the end of the Land of the Long Nights arc. Assuming the rest of the series is due to be deleted in due course, I think this is where I'm going to have to end my scans - we'll see in a few days, but I'll be sorry not to get...

    ODESSEY 1966-2005: Fumiko Okada Works - The Glass Marble

    I've just been reading Eiichi Muraoka's chapter on Okada in "Last Year's Snow" and was delighted to discover that someone had translated Glasstama, for which she won the COM Newcomer's Award (the other work he mentions is, I think, in the second volume of ODESSEY). I can understand why her work...

    Madobe no Linoa - Vol. 2 Ch. 5 - Seventh Heaven (Part 1)

    It finished a month or so ago with the end of volume 3. Glad you're enjoying it - I am, too!

    The Seven Knights of the Marronnier Kingdom - Vol. 5 Ch. 21 - To the Depths of the Sinkhole

    This was...plotty. I couldn't immediately place what national dress Iwamoto is copying to create the Land of Plenty gods, but that is the next arc with Harapeko so I guess I'll find out soon. Not sure what Lucas really gains by pushing Kemonotsukai into that pit only to have it be a fake out...
