Kakuriyo no Yadomeshi

A part of my Kakuriyo novel collection: Volumes 7-10.  This post contains HEAVY spoilers. You’ve been warned.  I’m at the moment translating Kakuriyo no Yadomeshi Vol 7 Ch 1 , following on the surprising news from Raijū in Vol 6 Ch 10 . There is no Ōdanna-sama in Vol 7 Ch 1 because of what happened in Vol 6 Ch 10, but we do have Aoi feeling his loss (which is great from the viewpoint of story development, but it’s still painful). In the same chapter, one of my 2nd most favourite characters, i.e. Byakuya-san (yep, now I actually have Byakuya and Hatori competing with Ginji for the runner-up in my heart), is in charge of the move to rescue Ōdanna and Tenjin-ya. Byakuya is actually going to be very active in this quest, hence he’s going to be a very close ally of Aoi’s. Surprising, really, because he was very cold when we first met him… (but then we realised he was a cat-lover, and I always forgive cat-lovers…).

Who wants to yank Raijū's ears now? Get in the queue. Below is my translation of Volume 6 Chapter 10 of the Kakuriyo no Yadomeshi novel, the last chapter of this volume. I will delete this translation when there is an indication that the novel will be translated into English and I will replace it with the summary of the chapter.  Nevertheless, I hope you enjoy this chapter, for it’s such a roller coaster chapter. I hope you have a peaceful and healthy Merry Christmas and a much healthier, peaceful and Happy New Year. Click here to read the previous Chapter 9. Click  here  to read Vol 6 chapter list.

Ōdanna-sama almost kissing Aoi, Ep 20 of anime ( watch it here !) There is no English version of the Kakuriyo no Yadomeshi light novel. However, there are at least two fan translations before I started working on this chapter: Kakuriyo Translation & Fan Translator By Choice . The first one covers Volume 1 of the novel, Chapters 1-4. The second one covers Volume 6 of the novel, chapters 1-8, plus Chapter 5 of Volume 1. This post is to continue the latter’s translation, i.e. Chapters 9-10 (there are 10 chapters for Volume 6). Click here to read Vol 6 chapter list. Click  here  to find out how to read this translation in other languages. The first scene of the chapter contains Aoi and her friends doing the Autumn Festival at Moonflower. There are 17 pages (pp 267-283) from the start of Chapter 9 to the point where Ōdanna appeared in this chapter. Because I’m impatient, for now I will just translate the part where Aoi had just finished her Autumn Festival business hour and Ōdanna ar

Ōdanna & Aoi, art by Laruha This post contains the summary of Kakuriyo no Yadomeshi volumes 6-11 (Vol 11 is the Gaiden) per Amazon Japan. SPOILERS of course, so don't read it if you don’t want to know how the Kakuriyo stories continue. The summary does spill the bean of a very important aspect of Ōdanna and Aoi. However, the descriptions don’t spoil you that deep, because you still won’t know some mundane and important things, e.g. Ōdanna’s favourite food, his real name, and the reason for the events that take place in Vol 7-10. Oh, and you won't know whether Ōdanna would kiss Aoi or not, and if he would, when. Beforehand though, I’d like to make a short observation about some Kakuriyo haters. Perhaps “hate” is too strong a word, but I cannot help using that word whenever I come across some blogs/websites that consistently shred Kakuriyo to pieces. I won’t name the blogs here, but if you google “Kakuriyo no Yadomeshi”, it’s likely you’ll find 2-3 blogs that constantly pick

Ōdanna  & Aoi, Kakuriyo second ending theme (titled "Shiranai Kimochi" by Nakajima Megumi) I stumbled over Kakuriyo no Yadomeshi ("Bed and Breakfast for Spirits", かくりよの宿飯) anime 2-3 weeks ago when I was looking for any jidaimono (period drama) anime on Anime Planet. It was recommended to me because I love Natsume’s Book of Friends. Out of curiosity (and because I like Kakuriyo’s visual & period-setting), I checked it out. SPOILERS AHEAD! Kakuriyo isn't set in the Edo period despite the costumes. Instead, it's actually set in our current time. However, Kakuriyo is set in a parallel dimension called the Netherworld or Kakuriyo, a dimension where ayakashi live. We know the basic story: the girl Aoi was promised to be the bride of the Oni Hachiyo called Ōdanna (basically means "The Great Master") after Aoi's grandfather got drunk and got entangled in a big debt in Ōdanna's inn (called "Tenjin-ya"). However, instead of just mar
