#247: A Soul Dutiful to Humans

170.
Minki: Next is gonna be Vol. 29---!
(TN: You know with as many complaints one can make about Minki...proportions isn't one of them. She is hot, as annoying as she can get.)

171.
(Title page...not much to say except we have Nube essentially walking to doom just to save Tamamo!)

172.
Nube: Here is the mansion of the nine-tail fox...
Tamamo: Ah...ah...ah...
Nube: I'll absolutely save you, Tamamo.
SFX: Giiii...

Nube: ---I thought he wasn't going to meet us easily, but he seems to be readily meetable.
Tsuwabukimaru: You...you don't understand. The terror of Kyuubi-sama.

Tamamo: Farewell, my rival.

152.
Tsuwabukimaru: Ku...Ta...Tamamo-sama!! What were you thinking! That human-transformation jutsu has already reached it's expiration date and as is will become an invalid and yet...
Nube: Is that for certain?
Tsuwabukimaru: I've inquired about it with Konmou Gyokumen Kyuubi-sama, the youko god who is the eldest of the youko valley.
(TN: "Konmou Gyokumen Kyuubi" literally translates into "The Golden-Fur Jewel-Faced Nine-Tails"; in particular note is the factor that a "kyuubi" is considered the most powerful of foxes and generally seen in legend of youko such as the original... Read More " "

#245: Tamamo's Time-Limit

SFX: Buru buru gata gata

Tamamo: Gu...
SFX: Gasha~~~n
Tamamo: Gahaa
Tamamo: Fufu...I knew that my time remaining was already a mere bit but...to suddenly come to this extent...is it time for me to pay the price...
(TN: The term Tamamo uses here is "Nengu no Osamedoki"; literally it stands for "time to pay the land tax". Usually it should stand for "time to get serious", but "time to pay the price" seemed to work here)
"Fox": Forget that... Read More " "

#244: Walking Jampyuu

112.
Voice: Dinner--! Please come qui--ckly.
Boy: O--K.
(TN: Of particular note: the mech toy the kid is playing with here is a slight "homage" to the title mech of the Takara-funded anime "The King of Brave GaoGaiGar", which aired between 1997 and 1998; by which the series would have been ended about this time in 1998 with the final episode airing in January)
Boy: I'm tired of this too.

#241: Oni-Maiden: Minki Appears!
(TN: About this title: the Japanese title was "Oni Musume"; while "musume" generally is the Japanese term for "daughter", it also is commonly used as well as a term for a girl in general, thus the usage here in my title as "maiden"...mostly because the one we're going to meet really never has a father revealed...)

51.
Narrator: "Oni"---Nube has twice ever fought with Oni. The first time was with "Baki", the Oni that was sealed into his left hand at the end of his deadly struggle; the second time was "Zekki", his little brother.
*Consult vol. 23, 24, etc.

Caption: Nube has died.

28.
(Title page...yeah, he's really dead...though I think Shinigami has more to do with it than anything considering she was the one who slashed him at the time of his heart spasm that killed him)

29.
Narrator: And so...a week passed...

30.
Hiroshi: Did the pipe over there pipe out?
(TN: The "earthen pipe pipe out" joke Hiroshi makes here is actually a rather simple pun: he ends up going "soko no dokan dokan kai", which is saying that the "dokan" (an earthen pipe used in plumbing) go "dokan" (as in the noise), leading to...well the obvious Hiroshi scorn)

Nube: Oh, success. Lucky--It's coming to me today...
"Girl": Um...You're Nueno Meisuke-san...are you?
Nube: Oh--oh--oh--it's been a while--! Well, you've become a beauty, huh---!
Nube: ---So, who are you then? (Ha ha ha...)
"Girl": No, this is our first meeting. I am...

8.
Shinigami: A Shinigami.
(TN: Obviously this being is well known through a lot of Japanese-based stories, but for those who don't know: "Shinigami", or "Death God" as it is translated, is a being that is seen in Japanese culture as the personification of death. While some say this could be tied to a Chinese idea tied to "psychopomps", it... Read More " "

#238: A Scary Hospital Story

180.
Tamamo: Don't miss volume 28 either!
(TN: While I can't say whether or not Nagumo's "comment" about vol. 28 is right or not (though with personal dreads of that volume...heh, at least I've made it), it is weird that someone who just stuck around for one arc like Tamamo's Youshin form gets a side-cover/final say. I guess it was due to his notability in the Youkai Doctor arc but at the same time it does make one wish some other characters got similar love)

Narrator: It started with a sudden stomachache during class.

Noriko: Th...this child...is a spiritualist ghost!?
Nube: A psycho-ghost...when a person with strong spiritual power while alive becomes a dead spirit, they possess an earth-staggering power. It rejected even my spiritual power...

Nube: To make a spiritualist ghost rest in peace...the ghost itself must cooperate 100% with the exorcist and let itself rest in peace...however...

Hey there everyone. I know I haven't said much as of late but I've been going through things, both personally and just trying to figure out things in my life as it stands. Personally there have been some hard times I'm trying to get through with new things in my life, which I think I am trying to handle but it just keeps getting harder with everything going on seeming to mess up all the time.

How does this affect my position in the community?
