Volume  title: あやかしお宿のお弁当をあなたに

“The Ayakashi Inn Bento Boxes for You”


Description: 

Aoi wandered in Kakuriyo from one place to another in search of Tenjin-ya’s Ōdanna.  Guided by Ōgondōji, Aoi arrived at the Bunmon of the North-western Land and was finally reunited with Ōdanna. Despite having become a fugitive, Ōdanna looked the same as always. The two of them spent brief yet calm days together. Nevertheless, since Aoi wanted to know the reason behind Ōdanna’s disappearance, his relationship with Grandpa Shirō and the real intention of the ayakashi who once saved her from hunger, Ōdanna made Aoi a proposition: “I’ll tell you the truth one by one in exchange for a bento box”. Thus, Aoi found the answer to one question.

Hello, thank you so much for translating it for us. I sincerely appreciate the work that you do and enjoyed reading it even the translator notes! I was looking for Volume 9, Chapters 3-5, did I happen to miss the link, or are those still in the works? No rush at all, just wanted to check! Thanks again

Hello! So sorry for the very late response, but thank you very much for the lovely message! I was travelling in Japan when your message came through, hence I didn’t have much time to reply. I’m not translating Vol 9 ch 3-5 because it’s getting too much for an unofficial translation (fan translations are, after all, unofficial …) . However, I am starting to translate vol 11 now, starting with a chapter narrated by Ōdanna-sama. I hope it serves as a replacement for the missing chapters of Vol 9, though it is not the same… sorry about that, but thank you for reading all the same…

Kakuriyo Novel Volumes 7-11 Heavy Spoilers

Image
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…).

Kakuriyo volumes 6-11 summary… and a reflection

Image
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...

Updates and recap of the rest of Volume 10

Image
Byakuya is one of my favourite characters, and he's prominent in Vol 7 Ch 4 ( Source ) It was still 19 December 2021 when I started writing this post, and it was a year ago on 19 Dec 2020 that I decided to make this blog to celebrate the beautiful writing that is Kakuriyo no Yadomeshi. Unexpectedly, the blog has slowly but surely attracted readers from around the world. Visitors from the United States, the Philippines and Indonesia are the big three visitors, followed by Russia, Malaysia, Brazil, the Netherlands, Italy, Mexico and Australia. I have made sure that my own visits are not counted in the blog, hence Australian visitors should truly reflect the trend that there are many readers in Australia who follow the Kakuriyo story. Nevertheless, we have other readers coming from other countries as well: Singapore, India, Canada, the UK, Vietnam, Germany, Poland, Thailand, Bangladesh, New Zealand, Spain, Italy, etc. I even had visitors from the Dominican Republic, South Africa, Moro...
