Hmm I forgot to add the season 1 anime scene where Tsurara held Rikuo's hand in the mountain excursion.. I do like that little scene alot.

Oh I have forgotten the battle against Abe no Yoshihira. What else did I forget?

Radio Drama - Rikuo Sama and me リクオ様とわたし

HAHA Finallllllyyyyy finished translating!! I have been working on this for about 5 months. (Most of the time, procastinating). Still, it's not 90% accurate because there are some parts which the chinese translator didn't understand and my low level knowledge of japanese can't help me. So I will be constantly amending this post whenever I or someone spot a mistake ^^;;;

This happened after the Shikoku (Tamazuki) Arc and before Rikuo went to Kyoto.
You can listen to the audio here.

chapter 209

Do I need to say anything more??????? XD Yes. My feeeeeeeeeeeeelllsssssssss!

 

Tsurara, why are you so cute??!! You should have confessed!! Rikuo, don't know that you are so bothered by the fact that Tsurara rejected matoi with you. Oh my feeeellllls

 

I love the colouring of this panel~

summary from the translator
http://lynxian.tumblr.com/post/33062851704/nuramago-209

So Gozu, the guy who stabbed tsurara's foot in the early chapters, like tsurara :D
And rikuo is bothered by the fact that tsurara rejected matoi with him in the Kyoto arc n asked if she dislike him XD Tsurara almost confessed her feelings for him. Should have confessed, tsurara. Why are you so shy? This is a serious life or death battle, if you don't confess, you may never get a chance.

As for matoi, didn't they did it in that Tokyo tag arc? Why rikuo said she never fully matoi with him? Didn't he wore tsurara's scarf n kimono? Maybe he want a deeper, more immersed matoi? XD

Chapter 209 is out! Link to Japanese raws. To the forum post that got the link

Flex my limited japanese vocab. Still can't figure out what's wrong with my laptop connection... So cannot edit the words like previous... This Artist must have been inspired by the volume 22 omake :D

Rikuo: it's hot. Tsurara, won't you melt in this heat? *small words: are you alright*
Tsurara: hai?
Tsurara: I won't melt. Maybe become a bit smaller?
Rikuo: become smaller?

Small Tsurara: Yes, Rikuo sama *bold word: become smaller*

Rikuo: ha
Rikuo: furu furu (nose starts bleeding XD)
Rikuo: Tsurara, one huge ice shaving
Tsurara: No problem!!

Laptop is experiencing internet connection problems, so here's a no picture spoiler.

Fanart translation.. again

Feel kinda of bad for not posting... Here's a translation of fanart which I found in tieba nurarihyon no mago gallery~ The fans were very upset about the chapter 184 (can't believe it's more than half a year ago, how time flies) and I guess one fan drew this as a response :D

It has been a while :p the next chapter will appear on 11th aug! Yes~~ still another week plus~~~ and  I will get to see rikuo n tsurara~~~~ meanwhile I will be engrossed in a new anime, sword art online~

HURRRRAAAAAAAYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!! Nurarihyon no mago will go on for another 3 more chapters in aug, oct, and dec! Each consisting of 64 pages, total 192 pages~~~~

Chapter 207 T_T

I guess everyone should have known by now that 207 is the last chapter for nurarihyon to be in WSJ ...... is the next chapter in jump next, the final one? There are some comments in the chinese forum saying that the manga only just been transferred to jump next. Hope it's just transferring!!!!!~!!!!! To have nurarihyon no mago 3 times a year is better than sudden ending!

Even its ranking is low in the WSJ, its volumes are selling well and sales ranking for each volume is still quite high (even though the ranking is gradually dropping), so I do hope the editors will allow this arc will be flesh out for another 3 or 4 chapters, or another volume before ending. Zzz to end just as the action is getting interesting again.

sigh. i can predict the emotions of nurarihyon no mago fans worldwide from north pole to south pole for the next few days...

After looking at the extras in vol 8, Hiroshi sensei should have explored more on rikuo n kana relationship. I do like how kana acted when rikuo appeared. That rikuo is so in his own world. It really looked like Hiroshi sensei did intend to develop kana's character, but poor kana just got buried... Hmm I wonder what if tsurara got scouted by magazine, how will rikuo react?

Oh well, still got one more week and then I'll be free~

*unleashing my shoujo manga fangirl spirit* Hiroshi sensei teased us, rikutsura fans, with the kiss word twice (first is the indirect kiss and next is this mother telling her daughter to steal his lips) I wonder is this just smoke without fire or there will be fire (actual kissing~~~) in the third time? But then again, mangaka didn't draw any kissing scene b/w nurarihyon and youhime or rihan with his 2 wives... Is there any kissing in shoujo jump manga?? Ooohhohoho can't wait.

Chapter 205

^________________^

from volume 20: youkai brain

Q: There’s a great difference between Rikuo’s human body and youkai body, why is that the clothes never burst at the seams? (direct translation from the chinese, which i find it very funny XD)

Tsurara: Ah~! I am very curious about this too! What is the reason?

Rikuo (Human): Erm… I felt that one cannot ponder on this matter deeply…. maybe it’s because when I turn into youkai, the clothes will also change?

Tsurara: I see! So can also say that this skill can only be done with “fear”?! Come to think of it, Night rikuo sama’s clothes indeed shrink in the morning after washing!

Rikuo (Human): That…. is because of laundry blunder…….

Chapter 204 ^_______^

as usual spoilers ahead~

I must admit that I do enjoy reading rikutsura fans' reactions to hiroshi's rikuoxyura and rikuoxkana shipteases *evil grin*

interesting. kana has finally caught up with yura after 3 weeks. i thought yura will win this poll by a big margin

Rikuo x Tsurara music video

Best viewed fullscreen.

Yesterday I was viewing fanarts on tumblr while listening to music. And just happened that this song was played while I was looking at the picture of rikuo and tsurara lying on the ground, looking up at the sky. I thought it really suit the song very well and had an impulse to make an AMV of the song and that picture. But thought it would be quite boring, so added other fanarts.

Woohoo I loved the fanarts~~~ For the 3rd pic @ 0:41, it seem like Rikuo is whispering the lyrics to Tsurara, while the 2nd last picture @ 4:13, it is like Tsurara is comforting Rikuo who is feeling down and singing to him the last 2 verses. I have so much feels for the picture that appears when the lyrics "I love you so much" is sung. And that beginning picture, it's like they are forever connected by thread of fate. hehe I can go on forever.

Anyway hope you guys like it~

Thoughts on Chapter 200

Spoilers alert

So will the ending of nue battle be......

Thoughts on chapter 199.

Oh my gosh... Yuraxrikuo is shining so brightly for me! Especially when yura was telling the spiders to thank and help rikuo. I am seriously in the wavering danger zone. *listen to a love song* the first couple I thought of is still rikuo n tsurara. *tried to think about rikuo n yura, but nothing came up* Good, I am still a rikuo x tsurara shipper XD their previous ship tease moments have built a strong foundation for me :D.

can't believe that after all my complaints that anime female leads always tend to be violent towards male leads (hitting them n such), here I am wishing that tsurara be a bit more violent (in a playful way of course) towards rikuo. Sometimes I find her a bit too much of a rikuo cheerleader for me. Where is the girl that scolded rikuo out of concern in the early chapters??

A chapter without tsurara will be quite boring for me, but I also do not want a chapter with 3 panels of tsurara calling out rikuo's name...

Please let there be enemies attacking the main house before rikuo returns!!

A Three-Generation Tavern Chronicle of Nurarihyon Slipperiness (ぬらりひょん ぬらりくらりの 居酒屋三代記): Rikuo and Tsurara

Always wanted to translate this for a very long time  because I love one aspect of Rikuo that was mentioned in this voice drama ! ^________^

I have translated this from the chinese translation.
You can listen to the japanese audio here

Version 2 summary because I misread some stuff hehehe.

In the alternate world of nurarihyon no mago, where everyone is a delinquent, Rikuo is the badass leader of the powerful delinquent group in the delinquent school. Tsurara is the female member of cadre group. Her label is Rikuo's enemy? or....? She has been mistaken for Rikuo's woman and captured by the Hagoromo Gitsune's female and drag queen delinquent group, in order to lure Rikuo to them. Rikuo, who had some trouble with the keikain police, last words for this omake is "let's go! Wait for me! Tsurara!" XD

but sadly this omake ended with hiroshi sensei's note that this might be the last one for these delinquents' parallel world. I do want to see a sequel for this from hiroshi sensei. Oh well, there are fan manga thankfully.

This is quite a long intro for this fan manga :P

Thoughts on Chatper 198

Yuki becomes a beautiful, archer + omnyouji? Wow she looks really good. The serious love rival is not Kana but Yura!

For all Nurarihyon no Mago female fans!!!! ~_^

Translator Notes

I always enjoy reading translators' notes in manga, cause it give a deeper understanding as why certain word/place/etc is used. And here's the translator's notes for nurarihyon no mago.

Volume 21 omake

from forum --->
Sharazaque Faddile
- Tsurara wake Rikuo, it's morning, it's morning Tsurara, ...and Rikuo's hairstyle become Cloud-like
- Zen is okappa hair style, Kuromaru is visual-kei, Karasu tengu mohican
- Awashima semi-long wavy hair, Reira with her hair down and straight hair
Itaku 「Reira, are you alright? What's with that hair... you look like a doll!」
Reira 「? I only have my hair down? Itaku... you look handsome!」
Itaku 「Is... that so.... ...I'm not used to see that hairstyle, so...」 (blush)
- Yura black long hair and a part of her hair braided in the back
Ryuji 「What's with that vulgar hairstyle」「My little sister... can't be... this...」 (parody of OreImo if you don't understand)
- Twin-tail Tsurara, she forgot her scarf and afraid if Rikuo can not recognized her, she bump into Rikuo and Rikuo doesn't recognize her, Tsurara shocked
- All of it is Makuragaeshi's deed

- Tsurara downhearted for being unrecognized, Rikuo thought from which class the girl was and if he can meet her again, Tsurara become jealous (not knowing that she jealous to herself)

I am really really tempted to buy the japanese version of volume 21 for the above omake! I don't think I can wait for the chinese version to be released (now at vol 18)~ much less the english version which i think need a year or so (now at vol 8, 2 months one volume)

Is shiibashi sensei promoting Itaku x Reira pairing? And once again, there's an ryuuji x yura moment -_- Shiibashi sensei is so evil! And finally, just a change of hairstyle and no scarf, a departure from her usual image makes rikuo notice her in a different (I think romance) way. I really do hope the fanfic writers will pick up from this omake!!! There's so much romance potential~

Chapter 197 XD

The english translation is out~

I don't really like to post/translate official omake (because I do wish others will buy the manga for the omake), but this panel is just too cute! Apparently, tsurara wants to be known as the "after school girl" (or the after school bishoujo) in the school

Thoughts on chapter 196

spoilers （＠´＿｀＠）

hehe found one kana x kiyotsugu fanfic~~ Yes I ship them together~ Kiyotsugu has a place in my heart after the hundred stories arc.

just bought volume 6 and really like the mangaka’s note. A dream that came true because he works hard for it.

Was wondering when did Tsurara's feelings for Rikuo start to change from a follower's loyalty and respect to something more. I guess it's this page where is the first time she blushed when talking about Rikuo.

Thoughts on chapter 195

Hiruko - I will always call you blockhead next time :D

Chapter 115 and episode 20

Realised that the anime should have this scene and indeed it does. Haha So much love~ Tsurara is so cute~ See how Zen is looking at rikuo on the left.

Chapter 115 aka how did I miss this??

Was revisiting tensaitekikuroneko's tsurara x rikuo page (I simply love pages like this~ Strengthen my love for the pair.) and was wondering which chapter did the above page appear in (was reading 100++ chapters in 3 days, so tend to miss out or forget alot of things) and found out that it's a followup from that infamous matoi rejection by tsurara. Oh well, not everyone is perfect and has good control over their emotions.

Was reading that chapter and realised something.

Here we have kubinashi, kejoro, kurotabo and kappa arriving at the scene to find that rikuo and itaku had defeated tsuchigumo. Kubinash blamed himself for not protecting rikuo after looking at his injuries and Rikuo did that now very familiar stop hand gesture.

Rikuo said some cool words and told the four by calling their names that from now on, he would be counting on them. And HERE COMES THE IMPORTANT PART THAT I CAN'T BELIEVE I MISSED ALL THIS WHILE XD

This panel is viewed through Rikuo's eyes!!!!!!! Look at how Zen is looking straight at the reader/us/Rikuo. And Zen is not the main subject in the panel. Because I believe everyone's eyes were drawn to Tsurara who was quiet and standing far from Rikuo (which is unusual for her personality and how she will normally react to this type of situation). So no doubt that she was ashamed of her earlier actions and think that rikuo would not count on her again, and Rikuo must be looking for Tsurara XD

Rikuo just couldn't bear to see that type of Tsurara, so he had to call her out. （⌒_⌒ ）

By doing that, he showed Tsurara that he had no hard feelings about the rejection and will count on her again. hmm. I don't understand awashima's comment.

Oh gosh, i love this fanart so much! Rikuo is sooosooo tender towards Tsurara and Tsurara
must be thinking "Rikuo sama, what are you doing??" ^∇^

Just found this little cute rikuxtsurara fanart by みは.
Here's a rough translation.
1st picture - Tsurara is wearing a bikini
2nd picture - Rikuo said Reject. Too exposed. And told her to put on the haori (japanese traditional coat) XD
3rd picture - Tsurara asked Then what about this, Rikuo sama? It's an one piece~ (Rikuo sama and I are going on a trip to the sea)
4th picture - It's cute, but still reject. and put on the haori XD

Chapter 194

Happy 4th anniversary of nurarihyon no mago serialisation! おめでとうございます!

Since Tsurara has been ordered to stay at home, the fans predicted her appearance would diminshed. I, myself, think that Shiibashi sensei would try to squeeze in at least one panel of her. And he did more than that XD

Both look so compatible together（=´∇｀=）

From the 4th anniversary poster. Shiibashi sensei does like to position Tsurara next to Rikuo, doesn't he? (=￣▽￣=)

All in all, The recent chapters are making me anticipate in excitement for new chapters. Especially the battle between tsuchigumoxyura n braided hair guy. Yura is so funny and cute! Rikuo, please don't show up until tsuchigumo & yura have won the fight!

Decided to change the name of the blog, because in the end, almost all of what i had blogged about is rikuo and tsurara :P

Nurarihyon no mago chapter 193 spoiler part 2

Yes! Found the japanese scans~ Just like what watdafish mentioned, Rikuo is really shouting instructions to everyone except Tsurara! XD

つららは。。。　母さんを頼む
Tsurara... I entrust my mum to you
そして奴良組の帰る場所になれ
and also become a place for nura clan to return home. (just learnt that nare is an imperative form of naru (to become), which means he is still ordering tsurara)
私が... 帰る場所に...?
Me... a place to return home...?

This reminds me of 184 where Tsurara tells Kana to be in Rikuo's 帰る場所, then now Rikuo asked her to be nura clan's 帰る場所? It's like the duty of the mistress of nura clan XD. Rikuo who is the leader or daddy of the group has lead and protect the group, while the wife/mummy is to create a home for the group XD
