[p001]

(the only thing of note in the top left is that volume 20 goes on sale February 3rd. Oh, and there's an iPhone app in the works that makes me almost wish I had one - you can check nura_gumi on twitter for images)

(right) VS Sanmoto, the conclusion...!!
(left, title) Act 184: The conclusion, and then...
(bottom) An extra story is appearing in Jump NEXT!

Yokai: R...Rikuo-sama...
Yokai: Defeated Sanmoto...!!

[p002]

Rikuo: So you lot
Rikuo: are alright, huh.

Rikuo: Tsurara... you did well.

Yokai: Ri...

[p003]

Yokai: Rikuo-sama-----!!
Yokai: Right back at you, you're alright!!
Yokai: Uoooo! You defeated Sanmotooo!!

Torii: Wow... he defeated such a thing...
Maki: Is that... really Nura?

Kana: Rikuo-kun...
Kiyo: Master...

[p004]

Natto: Oi!! You guys, tonight we're having a party!
Yokai: Eh, why?
Natto: To commemorate the master's returning home safely despite his life being targeted!!
Yokai: You just wanna drink, don't you?!

Rikuo: Wait, hold it, you guys...

Rikuo: Oi, let me through for a bit.

Kana: Rikuo-kun.

[p005]

Rikuo: Kana-chan... everyone...
Rikuo: You're... all safe.

Kana: Yeah.
Kana: Rikuo-kun, too... you got through everything alright.

Rikuo: Yeah... for now, anyway.
Torii: Wait wait, reeeeally?
ちょいちょいホント~~かい?
Maki: Is this older guy seriously Nura? Kana?

Kana: It is!
Kana: He's been protecting everyone.
Kana: Just like they were saying before... he leads yokai and exterminates the bad guys...

Kana: Right, Rikuo-kun?

Tsurara (thoughts): This girl...

[p006]

(right) At business meetings, he absolutely has to have sashimi. You can only read Shiibashi-sensei's manga in Shonen Jump!!

Kana: Ah, that's right!
Kana: Kiyotsugu-kun worked incredibly hard, you know!

Kana: Thanks to Kiyotsugu-kun's writing posts and distributing footage of the Nura Clan's activities,
Kana: There were also people who came to trust in you!

Rikuo: Ah... so that's how it was...

Rikuo: Kiyotsugu... thanks.

Kiyo: N...no... I didn't really do anything...
Kiyo: And I couldn't get the people who believed the rumors back to normal!!

[p007]

Rikuo: Oi, oi, what's up? You're not acting like yourself.
Rikuo: If it's because we've lost fear... we can just get it back, right?

Rikuo: I'm
Rikuo: the master of yokai.

Kiyo: Y...
Kiyo: Yes!

[p008]

Rikuo: Ho... wait a... I've still... got something... I have to do...
Rikuo (thoughts): Shit... my body is...

Tsurara: Rikuo-sama?!
Maki: Waa?! He turned back into Nura?!
Rikuo (thoughts): If I don't... pursue Encho...
Natto: Zen-sama!! Over here, quickly!
Zen: OI!! What the hell, your body's all beaten up, ain't it!!

[p009]

Kuro: Yanagida.

Kuro: Sanmoto
Kuro: is dead.

Yanagida: I... must look pitiful, huh... Kurotabo.
Yanagida: Why wasn't I absorbed by Sanmoto-sama, I wonder... It makes sense, doesn't it... I was just trash to begin with...

Kuro: ...what do you intend to do now?

Yanagida: Sanmoto-sama is dead? What are you saying. After seeing that form earlier, you still don't understand?
Yanagida: Certainly, Sanmoto-sama no longer has a body, but he can be reborn by taking over someone else's ghost story...

[p010]

Yanagida: In other words, Sanmoto-sama
Yanagida: has been evolving in hell!!
地獄で進化なされていたのだよ!!

Kuro (thoughts): This guy... what...

Yanagida: If our clan is in pieces, I will create the "continuation" of the hundred tales...!
Kuro: Oi...

Yanagida: Then I'll talk in full.
そのときタップリ話してやる哉
Yanagida: With my ghost stories, that is!!

Kuro: Yanagida!!
Kuro (thoughts): He's...

Yanagida: Hah hah
Yanagida: I understand!!

[p011]

Yanagida: Sanmoto-sama is still waiting in hell.
Yanagida: Just watch, I will definitely resurrect him...!!
Box: Hyaku Monogatari Clan
Box: With the exception of the ears, the members are either dead or dispersed due to the clan's dissolution.

People: Look, the road's all full of holes...
People: It's a rumor, but seems like someone was responsible for the yokai leaving...
噂じゃ 妖怪やらが誰かのせいで出rようになったって。。。
People: I wonder if the messiah turned up after all?

(right of Kappa) Heeey!

[p012]

Kappa: Ooh, it's Shouei. So you're alright.
Shouei: Yeah... what are you doing in a place like this, Kappa-san?

Kappa: About this place here... it's not part of anybody's territory, right?
Shouei: Eh?

Shouei: Ah... "the site of the demolished Aoi Castle", huh...

Kappa: It's like... even though there were yokai running wild, it's pretty clean here...
Shouei: That's true.

Shouei: Shall we ask everyone about it?
Kappa: Sure.

[p013]

???: You slept for a day and a half, Rikuo.

Rikuo: Sorry, sorry.
Rikuo: So... what's the current situation?

Daruma (sfx): Rustle...
Daruma: First off... aside from the ears, mouth and nose, everyone in the Hyaku Monogatari Clan is either dead or in whereabouts unknown.
Rikuo: I see...

[p014]

Daruma: And, concerning the Nura Clan... we suffered a considerable amount of damage here.
Daruma: It's hard to say if our territory's fear is stable...
Daruma: It seems that the messiah rumor spread by Encho will still be ingrained in people for a while.

Nura: Then there's that new enemy, the Gokadoin House.
Nura: We have to face the reality of their existence.
実在しとったとはのう

???: Encho prepared where he wanted things to happen ahead of time.
Hitotsume: There's still such a detestable guy left around~~
(small text) Make sure you get'im.

???: I wonder how much of our fear flowed into the "messiah" rumor...
???: Hrm...

Rikuo (thoughts): I wonder... how everyone's doing at school.
Rikuo (thoughts): Kana-chan, Kiyotsugu-kun and the rest...

[p015]

Kana: Is Rikuo-kun... doing alright?
Tsurara: He's already up and walking around.
(small text) Amazing, isn't it? Fufu~

Kana: Is that so... thank goodness.
(left of Kana, small text) Here, today's printouts.

Tsurara: What about everyone in class? He was worried about them.

Kana: Ah... I think everyone's accepted things as being a rumor...
やっぱり噂にはなってたかなぁ。。。
Kana: Since the kids in class know Rikuo-kun, they don't altogether believe it, but
Kana: places like in town...
Kana: But! With Kiyotsugu-kun at the helm, somehow we've gathered information and solved the kotodama issue!

Tsurara: Not that.
Tsurara: What Rikuo-sama was worried about was everyone's wellbeing!

Kana: Eh? That?!
Kana: Even though his eyes looked like that?!
Tsurara: I know, right?! It's really shocking!

[p016]

Tsurara: Ienaga-san.

Kana: Yes?

Tsurara: You'll be there
Tsurara: for Rikuo-sama, in the place where he can return, right?

Kana: Yeah.

[p017]

Tsurara (thoughts): Ienaga-san,
Tsurara (thoughts): for the Rikuo-sama who lives as a human, I'm certain... that you're someone he needs.

Tsurara (thoughts): It's a little vexing, but
Tsurara (thoughts): please look after him.

Tsurara: Rikuo-sama... Here are printouts and notes from Ienaga-sama~
Rikuo: Ah, thanks.

Rikuo: Did it seem like... everyone's okay?
Tsurara: Yes, she said they're fine!

Rikuo: I see! That's great!!

Tsurara: Yes!
Tsurara (thoughts): But, you see,
Tsurara: 50 years, 100 years... from now,

[p018]

Tsurara (thoughts): The one he will keep closest to him
Tsurara (thoughts): is Tsurara!
Rikuo: That's what I want you to understand!

???: Hmph... so you finally woke up.
Tsurara: Eh.

Ryuuji: You yokai... I'm going to interrupt your conspiring.
Ryuuji: I want to borrow Nura Rikuo for a bit.

Rikuo: Ryuuji-san...?
Hitotsume: Hoold it!! What the hell're you doing, coming in here!!
くるるぁ!!

Ryuuji: Perish.
Hitotsume: GYAAAA, HELP!!

[p019]

Ryuuji: I already told you the circumstances... I said "there's something I have to tell you."
Ryuuji: But there's a bunch of things I failed to mention...

Ryuuji: I have a message from Akifusa...

Rikuo: ...eh?!

Ryuuji: Nenekirimaru is complete.
Ryuuji: Go to where he is on Mount Osore immediately!
(left) To the northern lands, where fear congregates...!!
(bottom right) What awaits Rikuo et al, who head northward...?!
