Nuramago 196: extended translation notes
Pretty decent chapter this time. We get some info on Tsuchigumo and Mamiru and learn that Ryuuji is likely the smartest character in the series and Tenkai is both batshit and the historic figure of the same name.
This looks to be a semi-long one, so… Ready? Here we go!

Dear fellow Jojo lovers...
darkchibishadow:
Please reblog with your favorite Jojo pairing.
I want to see what other Jojo lovers like.
Mine is Gio and Mista.
It’s a tie between Giorno/Jolyne and Diego/Hot Pants, for me. I’d throw in Josuke and Okuyasu, but they’re more of a bromance than anything.

page 1
(beneath panel) Act 195: That Story, Once More…
Original Japanese: もう1度、あの話を (mou ichido, ano hanashi wo)
I actually wasn’t sure how to word the title until I got to the conversation between Rikuo and Nurarihyon partway through the chapter. On page 10, Rikuo says もう一度あの話を聞かせてほしい (mou ichido ano hanashi wo kikasete hoshii), which I translated as “I want you to tell me...

In progress...
Obviously still a WIP, but I thought I’d share. I’m debating adding in Tsuchigumo, but he’d she’d just be off in the distance anyway. I’ll post the next WIP stage too, because it’s always fun to watch pictures take shape… or at least it is for me. ._.;;

I’m… kinda amused that people are probably looking at my MH account, where I’ve posted up two translations in the past two days, and going “whaaaaaaaat??” because I’m being insanely fast all of a sudden. Which isn’t entirely true, because I’ve always been fast (I usually turn out Nuramago translations within a day - 2 at most), especially with series...

unlimited onmyo works
I seriously love browsing 2ch spoiler threads. Especially when you get something like this in a Nuramago thread:
・水蛭子は、体は五行でできている――unlimited onmyo works
(Hiruko’s body is made up of the 5 elements — unlimited onmyo works)
Now I totally want to see images of Hiruko doing a modified Gate of Babylon. Oh, and 2ch also seems to think that the person near the tree with the long hair is...

Nuramago 194: extended translation notes
Be sure to read the announcement I posted earlier today, in regards to translating. The gist is that I’m going to be taking a break for a while - I’ll still be translating a few titles (Nuramago included), but at a slower pace due to current real life circumstances.
That aside, here are this week’s translation notes.

NOTICE:
I’m going to be taking a break for a while. I’ll still be translating certain series (Nuramago, Haikyuu, SnH and Haru Polish for sure), though at a significantly slower pace. I apologize to any groups who are expecting things of me, but you’re going to have a longer wait - so you might want to find someone else to translate in my stead. Why am I taking a break? Because...

This is what happens when I'm feeling silly.
So this makes a little more sense to people: on the back of volume 15, it verifies that Shuten Doji is Kidomaru’s biological father, just like in traditional folklore.
Also on pixiv, with an additional sketch as a “cover”.

Random musings
Y’know, sometimes I’m tempted to write up a bullshit translation instead of putting in the effort. It would seem perfectly normal and everything, but it would purposefully be completely and utterly WRONG. And then on the last page, I’d have a note saying “now you know how I feel dealing with shitty proofreaders.” Or, alternatively, “do it yourself next...

Oh dear, she appears to be ranting again...
Here, have a quick sketch of Jolyne from a paintchat session.

Y’know, people who go “aren’t there any scanlations for xxx out yet?” kinda make me want to reach through the computer screen and do some hardcore throttling. I know that not everyone can (or chooses to) involve themselves in the whole scanlation process. I understand that. It’s a huge pain in...

Nuramago 193: extended translation notes
Okay, time to tackle the translation notes for this week. The scanlated chapter should be surfacing soon, if it hasn’t already.
Ready? Here we go~

(right, title) Act 193: Tsuchigumo, Returning Home
The phrase used here is 故郷へ帰る (kokyou he kaeru). 故郷 (koyou) means hometown/birthplace/one’s old home. Of those, only “birthplace” really fits best in...

This cartoon is inappropriate, sickening, and just plain nasty. It’s a shame that men can’t give birth - because then maybe we wouldn’t have such idiocy and complete lack of empathy from the most outspoken of the male population. How about we outlaw and/or regulate viagra? Would you like that, Mr. McCoy? Hell, the only reason many insurance companies no...

Nuramago 192: addendum
Just to let you guys know, there was evidently a page missing from pretty much all the Japanese raws online (including the raw I received to translate). Ontifex brought it to my attention, and I was luckily able to find a transcript of the text on 2ch. Basically, this means there should be another page between the current 11 and 12 (the Chinese scanlation actually has the page, so idk what...

Nuramago 192: extended translation notes
This should really be called “the mother of all translation notes” because it’s positively MASSIVE. So much stuff this chapter… it’s taken me 2 days (on and off) to write up all of it!
Ready? Here we go! Lots of fun links for you guys this time~

Nuramago 192’s extended translation notes, aka “the mother of all translation notes”, might just end up coming out after the scanlated chapter (GASP!). Seriously, there’s an insane amount of stuff and I’m only on page 5.
Definitely a good chapter, though. Tamazuki has really matured since the Shikoku Arc, and Tsuchigumo just might end up allied with Rikuo’s...
