Alright, it is Sunday (sorry for the unannounced delay) and I am gonna post the eleventh volume of Rin-ne. Feel free to react or comment on any panel, though I appreciate if image replies are not used during the dump. Feel free to discuss anything related to Rin-ne after the dump.

Rin-ne is Rumiko Takahashi's return to comedy after Inuyasha. Rin-ne is VIZ's localized title, presumably chosen to assist in pronunciation. The original title is 境界のRINNE (Kyokai/Kyoukai no Rinne) which means Rinne of the Boundary. While it is not a megahit like some of her other huge series, I highly recommend it to fans of Ranma 1/2 and Urusei Yatsura though it is obviously different.

Previous thread: >>279593949

I will be using scans of the official VIZ localization. Be aware that some of the larger images may have been edited to be lower quality due to image size limits.

>>279699836 (OP)
>Previous thread
longest lasting threat so far

Original title was "見えないキャンディー" which can be more accurately translated as "Can't See Candy". キャンディー is "kyandii" so a loan word from the English word candy. Furinkan translated it as "Unsee Candy" while Google Translate gave "Invisible Candy", which seems inaccurate.

Oh and this is unrelated, but yes, Rumiko really messed up this volume cover. Ah well.

June 1st, 2011. Author's note:
"Q: Is there a secret you'd like to apologize for?
A: I have nothing to apologize for."
Furinkan's note: "In answer to this same question, mangaka Yuka Katano (of Inubu - Bokura no Shippo Senki) mentions using her cram school tuition to buy a volume of Ranma 1/2."

>>279699954
Couldn't read the sign.

>>279699996
Wow.

>>279700002
Reminder. So yeah, candy to see and candy to see no more.

>>279700022
Oh, Furinkan has a note regarding the sign in that recap panel. Though it may apply only to the anime.

"The sign at the bottom of the candy story says "Bekkou Ame" (べっ甲飴). This is the name of the store that Tamako bought the candy for Sakura from. Bekkou Ame means "Bekkou Candy" with Bekkou being a proper name when written with those kanji. However the sign overhead is also read phonetically the same way, (べっこう飴) which means "hard candy"."

Also, the sign here says "枯井戸" or "Dry Well". Furinkan notes that: "One remarks that there is a dry well on the property which is hinted at in the name. 枯井戸 literally means "dry well". When the first two kanji are read together it also become "Karei" which is a proper name."

>>279700087
This is explained here, but Furinkan also reminds us how to write Akuryo in Japanese: "The A-1 Grand Prix is named for "Akuryo" (悪霊) which means "evil spirit"."

>>279700104
Right on time.

>>279700131
VIZ's note explains it, but as I mentioned before, an ochimusha being depicted as an undead covered and arrows and a dissolved topknot is a cliche.

Also, Miho and Rika's running gag continues.

>>279700188
Rescued.

>>279700196
I don't know why this moment felt so shocking to me when I first read it.

>>279700222
Hm, doesn't seem dry.

>>279700233
Furinkan notes that: "The samurai ghost is wearing the number 4 on his bib. Four is a particularly ominous number in Japanese because it is pronounced "shi" which is the pronunciation of "死" (death).
The boxer spirit is wearing 13, which is an equally bad number in numerology given its connections with bad luck."

>>279700275
Furinkan also notes that:

"Sakura finds a 100 yen coin and says she will take it to the koban (police box) in case someone is looking for it. If no one turns up she will give it to Rinne. Japan is well known for the honesty of its citizens to return found money and lost objects (phones, umbrellas and such). The total amount in 2017 of found money claimed after being turned in to the police was 75,511,670 yen ($675,813 USD). On the other hand the total amount of filed lost cash is 8,343,614,845 yen ($74,673,511 USD). The "Lost Goods Law" in Japan says that the person who has their goods and items returned is obligated to pay a reward worth between a minimum of 5% and a maximum of 20% of the item's worth."

I wonder how common it really is for someone to go to the police with a 100 Yen coin really. Not because you pocket it, but simply because who is going to stop by and say they dropped 100 Yen? Besides Rokudo, of course.

>>279700300
Furinkan notes that:

"One of the ghosts that pops out of the well looks like Kuidaore Taro."

They link to their page about him, which says the following:
"Kuidaore Taro (also known as Kuidaore Ningyo/Doll) is the mascot of the eight story Cui-daore restaurant in the Dotonburi district of Osaka. His name, and the name of the restaurant, is derived from the Japanese phrase "Kyou no Kidadore, Osaka no Kuidaore" (Dress (in kimonos) till you drop in Kyoto, eat till you drop in Osaka). Kuidaore Taro has become a major tourist attraction and is a national icon in Japan. In 1992 when the Hanshin Tigers were in the Central playoffs there were fears that Kuidaore Taro would be thrown off the Ebisubashi Bridge, just as the Colonel Sanders statue was in 1985."

He's #1 here with the striped clothes and the drums.

>>279700331
I imagine none of the numbers were picked randomly.

>>279700347

>>279700354
Wish the bombastic narration bubble text was bigger.

>>279700464
End of chapter. The dolphin doll is there.

Skipped the art spacer. The original title was "ターゲットは桜". ターゲット is "taagetto" so, a loan word from the English word "target".

Apparently only the cover was in full color.

June 8th, 2011. Author's note:
"Q: What is the best compliment you've ever been paid?
A: Interesting."

>>279700519

>>279700529
A lot of cliches.

>>279700545
First time she got it confirmed. Since Rinne's been busy.

>>279700557
Hah, one of the evil spirits looks like someone who is taking part in a 丑の時参り or "ushi no toki mairi" or "ox-hour shrine-visit", a method of cursing someone. But rather than wearing a crown of candles, he has flashlights.

>>279699996
nice umbrella
>>279700002
>it's a sample
an untested sample? perhaps experimental with unknown side effects?
>>279700022
>she ate something in the afterlife and so is able to see ghosts
right, right
then what's up with tsubasa?
>>279700087
>there's an abandoned well
the- the bone eater's well?!

>>279700593

>>279700607
Furinkan's note slightly differs from VIZ's. But not much.

"The sumo wrestler ghost says "dosukoi" (どすこい) over and over as he pummels Rinne. This is a common sumo shout that does not have a particular meaning."

>>279700635
Furinkan's note: "The kanji on the wrestler's mask is "悪" (waru/bad)."

Also, it seems VIZ accidentally left a note for the redrawer in?

>>279700665

>>279700693
Stay safe.

>>279700104
>festival held once a year where evil spirits compete

>>279700188
nevermind
>>279700196
that's right she can't see anymore!
>>279700222
...including rinne

>>279700711
The character on the evil spirit says "福" which means blessing or fortune. Ironic.

>>279700746
He's okay.

>>279700771
A bit of kindness in this harsh world.

>>279700786

>>279700805
Works like a charm.

>>279700815
Furinkan for some reason notes that: "Having a life-size doll is seen as rather eccentric bordering on perverse. "

>>279700275
she has some luck huh
>>279700300
she didn't feel anything under her foot? i know it's not depicted this way in the panel, but do you think her foot went through?
>>279700331
>this year
well that explains why the lid keeps coming off at a specific time of year

>>279700938
Another Zoom.

>>279700967
End of chapter. Sorry, Rokudo...

Per Furinkan: "Takahashi's second editor on Kyokai no RINNE, Masayoshi Yokoyama, listed this chapter as his favorite chapter."

I'll post a chunk of the article where he discussed this after the dump.

June 15th, 2011. Author's note:
"Q: If you could change your image, how would you do it?

>my head just feels so heavy
wow
>>279700665
rinne's fighting for his life above her head lol

>>279701119
Oof.

>>279701136
Rumiko is ruthless.

>>279701179

>>279701196
Wow! Better get there fast!

>>279701229
Whoops.

>>279701249
That's about as lewd as it gets in Rin-ne. Sorry, people who read Rumic series for fanservice.

>>279701274
Well, probably only a profit with the doll being a gift...

>>279701288
Not much of a gift...

>>279701300
Collecting all those must've been tough.

>>279701322
Woah.

>>279701340
Cool shot.

>>279701371
Sigh...

>>279701430
...

>>279701438
Ah.

>>279701469
End of chapter. As you may expect with Sakura Mamiya, we don't get her saying why she does things.

>>279700693
>I have to warn her of the danger somehow
rinne uhh can't you tell tsubasa to tell her for you? he can see you after all...
>>279700746
sakura no!!
this is why irl they don't let kids on the roof
>>279700900
miroku jr, nyo!
>it's a life-sized figurine!
>you pervert
can you blame him for thinking that rinne is doing ungentlemanly things to that doll? we've seen rinne on top of ageha, and holding hands for payment with other girls
>>279700938
TJ is innocent this time!
>>279700979
rinne is also innocent (this time)!

June 22nd, 2011. Author's note:
"Q: What is an item you have a problem with?
A: A TV in the bath."

>>279701661
This stuff gets pricey quick.

>>279701687
Furinkan notes that: "Rinne's client, Ken Ameno (雨野ケン), is cursed by the rain. Approprietly enough the first kanji of his last name is "rain"."

>>279701703

>>279701732
Dogs! They're a lot. Also, here's Furinkan's note: "Ken's pet dog, Kotaro (小太郎) does not have a particularly unusual or telling name."

Sorry.

>>279701758
Oh no! You'll throw up!

>>279701853
!

>>279701878
Rumiko censored the ears, background and name. VIZ didn't bother censoring the name.

Also, I can't blame the kid, but sad...

>>279701921
... ugh.

>>279701055
>Q: If you could change your image, how would you do it?
>A: My hairdo.
i think it's still the same...
>>279701136
>after three hours
how- how many hours are left of the prix?
>>279701179
oof
>>279701249
rinne you can just take off your haori--
whoa whoa sakura wait! AAIIIEEE!!!
how did she take off her sweater vest so fast?
>>279701274
rokumon... he's going to let it out at some point isn't he?
TJ might actually kill him if he found out, he's far more gentlemanly than his ancestral grandfather

>>279701938
The name 与太郎 or Yotaro has the connotations of being a "slow witted fellow, counter-hero, liar" archaically. It also refers to a fool character in Rakugo.

>>279702040
Spoiled puppy.

>>279701288
>5 yen per bib

>>279701493
>Y-1 Grand Prix
do they also curse whoever lets them out?

>>279702067
This time is called "念読バブルソーダ!" in Japanese. The furigana by 念読 is ねんどく. 念読 means "mental reading". Not sure how the furigana relate... Might be a pun?

>>279702298
...

>>279702357
Furinkan notes that: "The pose Ameno twists into ... is meant to mimic Edvard Munch's painting The Scream."

>>279701687
it's the rainy season, again
for the third time, i think
>I managed to plug them all up
it's about time! you're already endured two rainy seasons and three winters!
>>279701703
>it rains only on him
you know there's actually a case like this that i saw on unsolved mysteries, but that guy made the whole room rain
>>279701758
>小太郎
basically "little guy" in terms of vibes i think, i mean tarou is used as a generic name 'john doe'/'average joe'-style
>>279701878
poor little guy...
>>279701921
>Rumiko censored the ears, background and name.

>with this ghost paintball!

>it's a ping-pong ball
oh.
>>279702298
it really is bero...
>Not sure how the furigana relate... Might be a pun?
seems that's just a reading? 念読 does not seem to be an existing word
nen is a reading of 念
and doku is a reading of 読 (the other reading is yomi/yomu but the furigana is clarifying to use the other one for this made-up word)

>>279702620
Naturally...

Also, I don't know if the pattern on the moth's wings means anything.

>>279702692
New cat.

>>279702644
Ah. That makes sense. I assumed it was an existing word, but I guess that was my mistake.

>>279702729
Furinkan notes that: "[The black cat] calls Shoma "bocchama" (ぼっちゃま) which means "little sir" or "little master". It is the way a servant would refer to their master's very young child as opposed to "wakasama" (若様) or "wakadanna" (若旦那)."

>>279702425
no...
>>279702439
he- he lived...!
we're so back
>>279702453
>threw up the dye
well that's that i guess
and bero looks so big!
>>279702463
>it was as though he was telling him not to worry about what happened that day
aww...
>>279702483
bero lived a long life :-)
>train that dog
send that little guy to school
also minor note, is it not a thing in japan for dogs to see spirits? kotaro didn't seem to react to bero or rokumon

>>279702754
Here's Furinkan's note regarding the name:

"黒洲 Kurosu is a common Japanese name written with the kanji for "black" (because of his status as a black cat), and a second kanji for "island"."

>>279702809
Sucks.

>>279702860

>>279702916
You have to wonder how the moth operates on someone as poor as Rinne.

>>279702959
Goofy wand.

>>279702977
Furinkan notes that: "Kurosu is a level six black cat, (六段/rokudan). " So, like in Martial Arts or Go.

>>279703012

>>279703047
Good job.

>>279703065
The fan says smoke on it.

>>279702692
Just from looking at it I'd guess it's ビ for 貧乏

>>279703111
The poor get poorer...

>>279703125
Not easy.

>>279703121
That makes sense. I looked up the characters for 貧乏 but I don't really know how to relate them to other ones.

>>279703146

>>279703172
End of chapter. Furinkan has a very long note here, but I'll just post the beginning portion:
"Kurosu's frequent idea of stopping work at exactly 5 o'clock has its roots in the concept of work reform (働き方改革). The ideas were originated in the first Shinzo Abe cabinet in 2006, with the concept of the "Labor Big Bang" (労働ビッグバン) but would not fully take hold until 2018-2020 in the 3rd Abe cabinet."

Feel free to look up the three pillars of this worm reform if interested. Furinkan forgot to put 労働ビッグバン in the () so I fixed that typo of theirs.

We got ourselves a cover that's a panel. Good one too.

Oh no.

>>279703295
Yeah. I just usually announce it ahead of time. Yesterday was a mess for me though.

>>279703358
Another zooom. They clearly remember Rokumon's other appearances in this form.

>>279703448
I guess it is better than Rokumon getting hit by actual fireworks, but he still didn't seem to have a good time with it.

>>279703484
Quick work.

>>279703565
Carries around both.

>>279699954

>>279704149
Ouch.

>>279704251
I'll check after.

>>279704362
Bumped.

>>279704381
Seizing the opportunity.

>>279704396
Furinkan notes that:

"Dry wells are often a part of Japanese ghost stories due to their association with the ghost story of Okiku, a woman who overheard a plot to murder her lord and warned him. When the assassin heard Okiku was responsible he stole one of the ten valuable plates that belonged to the lord and was Okiku's responsibility to clean and keep track of. Okiku ran about the castle, counting the plates, "1... 2... 3... 4... 5... 6... 7... 8... 9..." The assassin offered to reveal where the tenth plate was if she would marry him. When she refused he murdered her. Her threw her corpse in a dry well and it was said that one could still her her ghost counting up to nine as she continued to search for the missing plate."

However, they don't have a not about the sign here. I had a hunch though and it seems to be correct. This is referencing an idiom I previously had described by Furinkan: ""wash your neck and wait" (首洗って待ってやがれ/kubiaratte matte yagare). This is an idiom that has the meaning "wait and see what happens" but in a literal translation it means "wash your neck" with the implication being, "because I'm coming to cut off your head."""

Yeah, neck and head are basically synonymous in this case, it seems.

>>279704610
Good eye.

>>279704649
The situation where it is only half the couple getting stolen is a bit embarrassing then.

>>279704663
End of chapter. Geh.

The tool is question was called 墓石迷路 in Japanese with the Furigana はかいしめいろ.

>>279704251
黒猫幻術 with the Furigana くろねこげんじゅつ. That would've been a good pun though.

>>279705145
Characters appear to just be names. Which makes sense.

Fun contrast between the title and the cover.

July 27th, 2011. Author's note:
"Q: What's the first thing you want to do at a summer festival?
A: The night stalls."

>>279705640
I love little sunhats.

>>279705650
Oh no...Persevere.

>>279705663
Effective.

>>279705684

>>279705740
A blessing!

>>279705747
Oh wow, how convenient and not ominous!

>>279705756
Don't let yuki-onna stop your dreams.

>>279705780

>>279705780
>first the poltergeist guy
>now ice woman in the fridge
I swear, since the wig chapter 2 volumes ago this manga is ramping up the retarded comedy levels. Not complaining tough

>>279703857
>Q: What is a characteristic you look for in a friend?
>A: Someone who can understand an emotional sense of distance.
>who can understand an emotional sense of distance.
rumiko-dono...?

>>279705780
Oh no! They stuffed Oyuki in the fridge!

>>279705831
The husband's face is a henohenomoheji. I don't know if this is a deliberate reference, but there is an expression in Japanese (鴨が葱を背負って来る) that translates to "Literally "the duck carries its own leek"; i.e. the duck carries the ingredients for a duck-meat dish."

The expression refers to a lucky circumstances. Maybe this is a joke about it not being as lucky a situation.

>>279705947
I guess that's one way to leave it.

>>279705969
She appears to be reacting to the narration.

>>279705976
This page (the fourth panel in particular) is one of my favorites in all of Rin-ne.

>>279705993
Honestly, what a great chapter.

>>279705841
>>279705874
Yeah, I love it.

>>279706019
No winners. Also, Rokumon, nooooo!

>>279706032
I love how much of a brat she is.

>>279706046
ネギ鉄砲 is the term used here in Japanese and did not return any relevant results, so I think this is a Rumiko original bit.

>>279706120
End of chapter. Huzzah...

Original title was さまようスイカ. Furinkan translated it as "the prowling watermelon". Google translate says "wandering watermelon".

August 3rd, 2011. Author's note:
"Q: What makes you self-satisfied?
A: Nandeshiko Japan's victory."
Furinkan's note: "Nadashiko Japan is the Japanese women's national soccer team."

>>279699836 (OP)
Anon have you found any shirtless Rinne? You didn’t get back to me last time.

>>279706272
Traditional summer activity. Involves a blindfold and a watermelon and a stick. I've talked about it plenty and I'm sure you guys know of it.

>>279706335
Yummy.

>>279706311
Hah. Sorry, we actually got some this volume: >>279705663

>>279706391

>>279706397
The jack o' lantern look here is very similar to the watermelon spirit that appeared in Urusei Yatsura.

Having him be blindfolded and use the stick is pretty funny though. Also, we got the blade grabbing thing again.

>>279706419

>>279706431
Furinkan gives me the Japanese spelling of the name (夏川ジュン) but doesn't note any puns or double meanings. He has the starry eyed thing.

>>279706514
We got ourselves a few more cliches. 柿氷レイ is the spelling of the second kid.

>>279706530
And 祭田ゴウ. Yeah. They might have theme names.

>>279706556
It is only fair. And yeah, they stuck around.

>>279706391
Wow nice, I’m pretty sure this wasn’t in the anime. Was that the first scene for him?

>>279706592
Anyway, mystery.

>OP fucking died
>Again
So, it happened... AGAIN

>>279706950
Here's the Japanese spelling of this name per Furinkan: 祭田ハナビ.

>>279706851
I remembered we had a beach chapter in Chapter 61 in Volume 7. He was shirtless in that too.

>>279707125
Hm?

>>279707094
Sorry!

>>279707133
This one is called the 生霊パワーアップブースター in Japanese. パワーアップブースター is "pawaaappubuusutaa" so, yeah, a loan word from the English "Power Up Booster". 生霊 is our usual ikiryou.

>>279707176
Easy peasy.

>>279707189
So cute. But oh no!

>>279707206
Hah.

>>279707214
End of chapter, end of volume. Yummy!

Feel free to use the thread to discuss anything Rin-ne related. I have some stuff I'll posting here and there to bump the thread.

I will be returning next Wednesday to dump Volume 12 of Rin-ne. Sorry about the unannounced delay this time. Thanks for reading!

>>279707094
they have narcolepsy please understand

>>279707232
Danke, OP

>>279707125
Thanks anon, appreciate it.

>>279702916
>>279704251

>>279700022
i was taking a closer look at this and recognized the word for "doll"
however with that third kanji it apparently refers to "doll cake" which is a type of sponge cake in various shapes filled with red bean paste
>https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E4%BA%BA%E5%BD%A2%E7%84%BC

>>279700347
>I imagine none of the numbers were picked randomly.
i don't know about all, but there are some i know
49 when said as shi-ku can sound like "painful" death"
42 when read as shi-ni sounds like the word for "death" (shini)
(i should note that this is not how either "forty-two" or "forty-nine" is pronounced, this is more equivalent to saying "four two" and "four nine")
9 when said as ku can sound like agony/tortue, so they'll say kyuu instead (and they'll say yon for 4)
thinking about it, 999 may be for evil laughter kukuku

>>279700545

>>279700300

>>279700693
>DANGER (written in katakana)
>Sa... Ue... Ha...
mildly dissapointed that neither viz nor furinkan told us what the japanese word was supposed to be because it took me too long to figure out what those sideways kana were even supposed to say
so i looked up the word "danger"
>kiken (危険)
>キケン

Here's the Japanese cover for Volume 11. Yeah, that front cover Sakura Mamiya is still bad...

>>279708589
Yeah, that bugged me a bit too and I looked up the word for danger, but I don't know how to convert that into kana and what I found didn't seem to match...

>>279701430

>>279708648
another mysterious inner cover illustration!!
and i was looking at it from the wrong side before...

>>279708680

>>279708715
>another mysterious inner cover illustration!!
wait no, my bad >>279704827
i'm just not there yet
but the previous two were mysterious

>>279700519
Here's the cover of Shonen Sunday where this chapter debuted. Celebrating Rin-ne's 100th chapter.

>>279708715
I mean, this one isn't that mysterious. It is right here: >>279700519

>>279708785
>>279708779
Whoops. Wrong chapter. But the 10th volume's was apparently a color cover from this volume. I also know where the 9th volume's is from, but I'll be posting it in a different thread.

>>279701878

>>279702040

>>279702357

>>279702439

>>279703047
sakura, don't look...

>>279701055
Here's that bit of that article. Splitting over two parts:

"I chose the last page of the three-part story "Sakura eats candy that makes spirits invisible." I chose the last page because it was the chapter with the shortest editorial meeting we ever had.

When the right subject was decided at the beginning of the meeting, Takahashi-sensei came up with ideas one after another, such as "It would be better if Sakura, for whom all spirits have become invisible, is approached by a very serious spirit," "Even if Rinne materializes, Sakura should pass by him without speaking," "He might also see her changing clothes," and so on. Takahashi-sensei came up with so many ideas to make the story flow onward. "Even though we're usually together, I feel lonely when I can't see you." "I want to see you but can't." ... All of these were delicious situations, which can only be called the royal road to romantic comedy and love stories, and she created one after the other. There was nothing for the editor to do."

>>279707766
>>279703111
isn't that the tatami that rinne and rokumon lifted from the dad's hq?

>>279709212
Other half of the relevant portion of the article:

"This chapter was adopted as the final episode of the first season of the TV anime. Of course, it was not decided at the beginning of the project that the anime would continue until the third season. Depending on the viewer ratings, there was a possibility that it would have been a grand finale with only the first season.

This episode could have been called the "final episode of a fantastic anime." It was chosen as such a milestone episode, and that is one of the reasons why I picked it.

In the first chapter of the series, Sakura was wishfully thinking that she would be able to live a normal life as a high school student without being able to see ghosts, but in this chapter, she returns the "invisibility candy" to the spirit world and chooses to "live a life with visible spirits." She chose to continue her relationship with Rinne. I think this was the turning point in the story, and for various reasons, it is the chapter that has left the greatest impression on me.

Kyokai no RINNE 2nd editor - Masayoshi Yokoyama (横山真義)
Takahashi: This is one of my favorite storylines because it gave us a glimpse of Sakura's true feelings, which are not easily seen."

>>279709212
>All of these were delicious situations, which can only be called the royal road to romantic comedy and love stories
huehuehue
>and she created one after the other.
like a woman possessed
>There was nothing for the editor to do.
but sit there and nod
>>279709255
>This chapter was adopted as the final episode of the first season of the TV anime.
oh?
>This episode could have been called the "final episode of a fantastic anime."
interesting
also she's wearing a coat and scarf in the anime version of this, so i guess the anime tried to make the flow of time make sense? (i don't know if s2 and s3 continued that or if they also have seasons repeating more times than there are school years in japanese high school)

>>279703270
do you think shoma shot him on purpose or did he miss?
>>279703319
>you wouldn't be interested in that, right rinne-sama?
i don't know about japan, but a media trope about poverty here is being so poor you resort to eating cat food so...
>I wonder how it tastes
rinne nyo
>>279703358
poor thing
>the cat from the wanted poster
ohh i get it, i think
>>279703408
>the ugly version was an illusion
why? what for? and were only the girls able to see the illusion, and it was a cutie in the eyes of the employee?
>>279703448
naruhodo, it's making cute cats look ugly

>>279703408
looks a little chipmunk-ish ngl

>>279709322
If it is anything like the other Rumic series adaptations of manga with seasons, they just changed the season to match the air date rather than making time move differently.

>>279703448
goodbye, rokumon...

>>279704649
>walking on cloud nine
do you think the japanese version used engrishu for cloud 9 or do they have their own phrase
>a lecherous heart is behind it all!
is ageha... next? wait she is a soul... right? shinigami are souls?
>>279704663
both of them! so that girl who reported it to rinne wasn't feeling it then... oof

>there is an expression in Japanese (鴨が葱を背負って来る) that translates to "Literally "the duck carries its own leek"; i.e. the duck carries the ingredients for a duck-meat dish."
isn't that why the pokemon farfetch'd carries a leek?

>ネギ鉄砲 is the term used here in Japanese and did not return any relevant results

the magic words i guess
>it's broken
the dream is over...
>>279706272
>the lingering watermelon
does the watermelon have lingering attachments?!
>>279706419
oh noes it's watermelon head!!
>>279706514
is he related to the P.E. teacher?
>夏川ジュン
夏川 is "summer river" and watermelon splitting is a summer activity
maybe jun is for... the month of june?
>>279706530
written differently, kakigoori (かき氷) means "shaved ice"
but this kid's name is written with "persimmon" and "ice"
rei can mean cold when written as 冷

>>279706556
>祭田ゴウ
matsuri 祭 means "festival" and rumiko probably gave him that name in reference to the summer festivals
>>279706592
>heard you talking shit
>>279707125
hanabi means "fireworks"
>>279707189
it it okay to grant their wish?
oh, it just wants to hit the watermelon
well that seems innocent enough
>>279707232
and so the childrens' souls were put to rest!
>'cause we don't have a fridge
well maybe you should've been more strategic in how you handled onion woman...

do the other black cats know how to transform into complete cat form?

>>279710636
That was my first thought but I think he's dressed as a zombie.

>>279705969
>Rest in piece
Uh-oh, seems like the proofreader was asleep on the job

>>279710764
"あいつは桜と手をつないで有頂天になっていた。つまり" So, google translate gave me "ecstatically".

>>279711421
"追跡用火の玉" so, "tracking hinotama". I didn't even know that was one of them. It just means fireball.

>>279712598
I think it is just to make the situation seem way more serious to set up the gag on the last page. She's worried about people's souls getting stolen.

>>279712759
Correct.

>>279713022
>>279713150
I should've figured it was all summer related stuff.

Too soon.

I can post this now. Sadly, this artist only did a handful of Rin-ne art pieces.

>>279718371
>only did a handful
That's to be expected.

>>279699932

I was starting to think that it was still recovering from the last time it was beaten up by rinne and friends
but it has been a while since that happened

This was always one of my most favorite chapter. I generally loved how the anime adapted it too, but I hate how they censored this scene.

>>279714196
the snow made 'em sleepy please understand

>>279715300
>google translate gave me "ecstatically"
seems the key phrase here is
>有頂天になっていた
有頂天 means "ecstasy" but apparently is also a buddhist term in reference to the "highest heaven" according to jisho
wiktionary provides "ecstatic" and "on cloud nine" for translations (when used as an adjective)
>"追跡用火の玉" so, "tracking hinotama"
>I didn't even know that was one of them.
i did, and now you know too

>>279724860
Churros are good.

>>279716788
too soon for what?

>>279720066
To be honest, there's actually a fair few people who seem to make just oodles of Rin-ne art. But quality is mixed and a lot of it has characters from later volumes.

>>279727325
that water is going to boil them

updated report
>>279605511
>volume 11 = The Return of Mew (3 times on one page, also bonus kitty)
>volume 10 = none, but there was a random appearance or two of some other cat
>volume 9 = none, but there was that one panel of kitties bowing to death
>volume 8 = seven mews
>volume 7 = one mew, but supplemented by the presence of other meows that were not rokumon
>volume 6 = one myew
>volume 5 and 4 = none
>volume 3 = four tiny meow meows
>volume 2 and 1 = multiple high-quality cute panels, yet to be beat
despite the appearance of more black cats, the amount of kitties has not increased
i hope this will be rectified and we see suzu as a tiny ball of fluff
kurosu and oboro would probably be adult cats, but if they were to sit in the loaf position while in that form then that would be very good as well

speaking of droughts coming to an end...
after three whole volumes without color pages, this volume comes in with two
>>279700519
chapter 100 color page
note that this is not the true japanese version with some english fan translation on top
it's actually a chinese edit with some english fan translation on top

>>279704827
chapter 106 color page, which was used here as well >>279708648

>>279728940
>>279728833
I knew that second one would look way cooler with colors.

>>279700607
Really though even without her extrasensory perception Sakura should default to "spirits" as an explanation for any bullshit she encounters at school. Like when was the last time anyone had a normal explanation for their misfortune?

>>279700711

>>279729783
Meant to quote >>279700693

>>279728940
you can see volume 8 and the birds of fate one-shot collection advertised on the page

speaking of one-shots, now to go over
>The Merchant of Romance
>https://desuarchive.org/a/thread/262980633/#q262980858
the romance villa's name in japanese is
>浪漫会館
>roman kaikan
this is the same 浪漫 as the japanese title, and is an example of using kanji for their sound rather than their meaning

it seems that the translation invented given names for the couple on the sign
>The Wedding of Tomoe Nagasaki and Seiji Kobayashi
the japanese version says
>長崎家 小林家
>御両家
>Nagasaki family, Kobayashi family
>両家 means "both families" and 御 is an honorable prefix
"the honorable families of nagasaki and kobayashi" i guess?

the word for "priest" that betto uses on the next page is
>神主
which is for shinto priests

>kind of like an orchid blooming in a dump
this reminded me of how the lotus is looked at fondly because of the way it blooms from the mud, so i looked at the line to see what it was
>はきだめにツルですわ。
Hakidame ni Tsuru (kanji version is 掃き溜めに鶴) is a "crane (searching) in the rubbish heap/garbage dump"

>>279729923
Good info. No major departures it seems.

>>279729923
the specific word for "boss" that they use for yukari is
>館長
this is the same 館 in kaikan from the villa's japanese name

bettou is 別当 which is the word for "groom, stableman; steward, attendant" (this does *not* seem to be the marriage "groom" btw) which has me wondering if it's even his name...
yukari calls yoshi おっちゃん (occhan), and calls the woman oba-chan
yukari is 縁 which means "relationship, connections, fate, bonds"
keiichi is 圭一 with the 圭 meaning "square jewel, corner, angle" and 一 is "one"

for the old couple's wedding the word for priest used is
>神父
which is for catholic priests (and eastern orthodox ones too)

i was curious about the excommunicated line, it was
>十年前に破門されたんでしょ。
破門 is "excommunication" and it can apparently also be used for the expulsion of buddhist monks, but the old man calls himself a "real priest" (本物の神父) so it would be excommunication from the church

>>279730714
i was curious about the japanese translation of the standard words priests say at wedding ceremonies, i thought
>surely i only need to type up the contents of the first bubble and google will give me the rest and i can see if it matches the other bubbles
but it didn't do quite that... now i'm wondering if there isn't a uniform translation of that in japanese?
i kind of do and kind of don't want to try to type up the whole thing, the lack of furigana is going to make it a little trickier for me... it's kind of hot right now too...
i'll... i'll come back to that

Aw man is this gonna be a sad dead dog story?

>>279731275
the ice cream helped
i typed it all up but i'll be cross-checking online to see which version rumiko used
is there anything else about the one-shot you're curious about?

>>279732149
seems there's a some variation out there in japanese, the final line seems to be the same though?
their "I do" is more literally "yes, I vow"

well here's the version rumiko used, along with the english publication's lines
汝 is an archaic form of saying "you"
>Do you take this woman to be lawfully wedded life...
>汝この女を生涯の伴侶とし...
>...as long as you both shall live...
>...かわることなくその命の限り死に至るまで...
>...until death do you part?
>かたく節操を守ることを誓いますか。
>I do.
>はい、誓います。

>Do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband...
>汝この男を生涯の伴侶とし、
>...through sickness and in health...
>そのすこやかなる時も病む時も、
>...for richer and for poorer...
>豊かな時も貧しい時も、
>...in happiness and in sorrow...
>喜びにも悲しみにも、
>...to love, to honor, and to cherish...
>これを愛しうやまいなぐさめ助けて...
>...until death do you part?
>かたく節操を守ることを誓いますか。
>I do.
>はい、誓います。

*to be your lawfully wedded wife

This is good info, but it has been so long since I read it and you covered it so well that I don't really have anything to ask.

>>279733145
i've been around long enough to have learned what kind of things you ask heh

>then what's up with tsubasa?
My guess is that the ability to see ghosts is heritable and that exorcists are the descendants of people who were also once lead to the afterlife and ate something from there. I imagine it's a semi-regular occurrence for children to be lured by a damashigami and then be saved by a shinigami, as was the case with Sakura. Of course, most children can't resist the prospect of trying out an exotic type of candy, and every now and then, the shinigami saving the child carelessly forgets about the side effects and ends up getting the kid something (especially since it's harder for a lot of people to deny the pleads of a child).

Thanks, I needed this image

Tsubasa is also a religious trainee so that could also factor in, but as with most Takahashi characters with religious power his parents were also in that line of work so it could simply be hereditary.
Have Tsubasa's parents, or any other aspect of his training showed up at all?

>>279728581
kek

>>279741094
I see it.

>>279744762
>Have Tsubasa's parents, or any other aspect of his training showed up at all?
I think this page is the only sighting of them so far
>picrel
we know he has had to move around a lot because his family is exorcising (how many members of his family or how big his family is are unknown)
we've seen that he's been throwing sacred ashes since he was a child (the case with that toilet-bound little girl ghost), and he had access to the power stone back then too (that he buried next to that tree)

>>279703756
Now if only the entire manga stays this way.

>>279730714
Appreciate the effort, anon.

happy (slightly late) 14th birthday to chapter 101
you even dumped this on the actual day lol

>>279757639 (me)
speaking of birthdays, i realized that nobody's birthday has been brought up despite the seasons passing
do sakura and friends get a birthday mention at some point?

>>279757747
>>279757639
Maybe eventually. I don't remember any happening.

>>279757639
Oh wow, what a coincidence

>>279761797
rumiko's written so much that it was bound to happen eventually
it's probably happened before this
little disappointed I didn't notice it on the day of lol

>>279763703
I know that feeling but you'd have to be a special kind of obsessed to anticipate this happening and keeping track of it ahead of time.

>>279765746
well anticipating isn't necessary
OP does post the publication dates after all, it's just a matter of connecting the dots between the date the dump and the posted publication date

>>279765863
Sure, but then it's not surprising you might miss it right as it counts.

>>279706419
>>279741094
it reminds me to Mary-san from Gakou no Kaidan's 1995 Film

>>279768840
terrifying

>>279727193
To die.

>>279713419
I'd like to know too.

See you next thread.
