-> RTS Page for Nurarihyon no Mago 1

EDIT: ah good, someone else has posted a translation :) Hopefully it'll be open to scanlators soon. Putting translation on a hiatus.

First translation post :) WIP, because I'm a little busy today. Will probably finish it tomorrow. I wouldn't normally do this, but this series is just too good to be neglected.

Please, point out any mistake in the translation, because I don't actually speak Japanese... and feel free to use in scanlations- just credit and comment here.

Hello I just stopped from being a forum stalker to post here.umm just so you know, I'll be using the translations while giving credit to you since I'm a little lazy to do it myself..:eyeroll.So I think this will be my first freelance project but seeing as how I'm busy I think I can only get it done by the end of the month...hopefully.So just give some constructive criticism on my editing when its finally done even if other groups have done it already:D

Haha sorry for the confusing remark. By that I meant all the Japanese I know is self-taught... and I can only read, not write/speak. Was rather late when I posted that so er... I might not have come across as clearly as I would have liked.
