Nikubami Honegishimi - Vol. 1 Ch. 3 - Ancestral Ring of Evil-sloughing

I kind of get why you went with evil-slough but I really don't think that's an ideal translation

What would you have gone with?

Oh man, Inubosaki just standing there all "welp, darn, the trail cut off!" completely unaware of the monster less than a breath from her face was scarier than the actual horror bits. Just knowing how helpless she'd really be in a situation. It's less a question of what finally got her, since it could be anything, and she'd never know she was even at risk....

Feeling like I'm missing something with this one's ending. The final panel's showing what looks like one of the boxes containing relics from the dig site with the sketchy black hair hanging out of it, but it's labeled with the date 1991.2.4, which is 8 years before the 1999 setting that the first chapter established as the time period that the Inubousaki and Asama team-up started. It can't really be a prequel to the other chapters, so is the implication that Toyokusa fabricated the date on the boxes containing the relics to cover up their connection to the series of deaths at the excavation in 1999?

I feel like I'm probably missing something obvious and overthinking it. Kinda want an Arrowhead-kun plushie now, though.

Could some one be kind enough to explain what the curse is

Inobusaki is just like Daidai😂 too lucky. Well until her demise..

Just found and started reading this manga today. It's been amazing so far! The art is especially unique and perfect for a horror manga. Really love the twist at the end of chapter 1 and the back-and-forth between the past and present, too. Thanks for the translations!!

 

[Hikineet]

Thanks for the chapter.

 

[Mekanike]

Thank you very much for the chapter

My understanding:

The people from the past collected their hair (slough). Then they worshipped it, causing it to be possessed (not really sure) by something. This caused their demise (the mummies found). The ritual site was erected to perhaps contain the thing there. Excavation released that thing and those who touch the soil containing the hairs are targeted by the thing.

What would you have gone with?

I probably would've left it in romaji and explained the meaning of the kanji tbh. Maybe unholy molt if I had to do english

 

[AcidVlad]

really good, thanks!

Re-reading this and the final panel's box is marked 1999.2.4, not 1991.

Well shucks, so it does.

Either the scanlators changed it, I completely misread it the half dozen times I checked it, or my recreational laudanum usage is finally catching up to me.
