Alright, it is Saturday and I am gonna post the thirteenth 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: >>279785059

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.

Original title was "お金貸して" which is essentially "Lend memoney" though Japanese does the word order differently.

Cover was originally in full color.

>>279865660
Sakura's said "道端で土下座なんかして..." in the original Japanese for "kneeling on the ground on the side of the road...". So, she did refer to it as a dogeza (土下座), the most deferent act of Japanese etiquette. Though she did say "土下座なんか" which is closer to "something like a dogeza" or "dogeza or something".

>>279865845
Hehehehe.

>>279865858

>>279865890
Kain's here. And mad.

>>279865908
Caught red-haired.

>>279865962
Oh, no! Rinne!

>>279865978

>>279866001
Sounds a lot less like patricide if you phrase it this way.

>>279866020
Her identity revealed. You know, again. The same way as the last few times.

>>279866037
What...?!

>>279866053

>>279866080
I see a PSP.

>>279866092

>>279866102
The weird chain chomp toy and the PSP apparently came from the company too.

>>279866182
What!?

>>279866199
Look how cute.

>>279866215
End of chapter. The envelope says 返却 or "return". I love their expressions in that panel. But of course, Sabato is who he is. Also, I have a note from Furinkan:

"The baby picture of Rinne that Sabato is after has a curtain in the background with the kanji "質" written on it. This "shichi" or "pawn" as in "pawn shop"."

Oh and another one I missed regarding this:
>>279866037
""Nagesen!" - Ageha is literally saying "coin toss!" (投げ銭) when she tosses her coin at her sister's mask. Typically this is referring to tossing a coin to a beggar or into a donation box at a temple. Ageha is initially shown throwing coins as a weapon. This is meant to reference her indifference to her own wealth, however there is a historical context to this as well. Famous fictional detective Heiji Zenigata (銭形平次) was known for throwing coins with holes in the center (kanetsuho/寛永通宝). Inspector Zenigata from the manga and anime Lupin III is based on Heiji Zenigata."

I've explained that before, but I didn't have the reference to Heiji Zenigata (assuming it is a reference).

>>279866315
Nice to see that, despite being total scum, he still has a tiny smidgen of decency left.

Hm, for some reason, Furinkan has the wrong title listed for this chapter. The original title is "鎌の事なら三日月掌" and it translates to what you see here.

November 2nd, 2011. Author's note:
"Q: What is something you've found humorous lately?
A: When watching Okinawan hero Ryujin Mabuyer 2. It's very amusing."

>>279866405
Pretty serious start.

>>279866426
Good job, Sakura Mamiya. Also, I don't know why she has the skull nose for just one panel. Maybe a style choice or maybe a depiction of how far gone she is, I dunno. Or maybe it is just an odd drawing?

>>279866452
The huge barrel of scythes is pretty funny. Also, that's a pretty background scythe there. Good job, assistants. Also, I couldn't help but look up the untranslated signs in the first panel. One says "sword" before being cut off, the other says "new products arrived". No clue on the right side.

>>279866501
No luck with these signs. I do like the little cartoon bomb drawing.

>>279866529

>>279866554
One from the cover.

>>279866565

>>279866580
You can see the other chain broke. But it still looks okay.

>>279866606
Furinkan notes that: "[The rabbit] welcomes Rinne and Rokumon by saying "おおきに" (Ookini). This is "welcome/thank you" in the Kansai-ben dialect which is commonly spoken in Osaka. Often people that speak with this dialect are stereotyped as brash and boisterous. Sometimes they are also seen as jokesters given the connection of Kansai-ben with manzai comedians. Further they are also sometimes seen as shrewd business people."

Oh, but I double checked and it seems she only said that in the anime. She just says "おこしやすー。" or "welcome" here.

>>279866672
We got names. So, now I'll post Furinkan's notes. Furinkan chooses not to romanize their names specifically as Left and Right, so they call them Refuto and Raito instead. Unlike VIZ.

"The joke is the lunar reference in the store's name and the fact that Refuto and Raito are rabbits. In Japan there is the story of the rabbit on the moon rather than the "man in the moon" that is talked about in the West."

"Twins in Japan - there is a difference in "older" with twins in Japanese culture. The twin that is physically born first would be the eldest in the West. In Japan however, the first born is the "youngest" because the "elder" twin offered to let them leave the womb first which indicates their maturity and care. It is difficult to say if Raito is saying she was physically born first (and would be older by Western reckoning) or if she is older because she allowed Refuto to be physically born first and would be the elder sister by traditional Japanese twin standards."

I didn't know that about twins in Japan.

>>279866780
Shuriken scythe.

>Q: There is clay in front of you, what will you make?
>A: A doll.
but a doll of what?
>Original title was "お金貸して" which is essentially "Lend memoney"
>"Lend memoney"
hmm...

>>279866831
Rinne's original line here was "こーゆーのは口が悪いというのだが。" which Google Translated as "This kind of thing is said to be rude." which made me laugh.

>>279866849
Oh, shoot. 4chan didn't like the heart I copy and pasted from Furinkan. There was a heart in between. "お金 <3 貸して".

>>279866919
Furinkan note: "Tenka Hatto - Refuto's "tenka hatto no kama" (化八当の鎌)　is the "eight strike purification scythe"."

Though, 転化八当の鎌 is what I see on the Japanese raws, which does translate to what is seen here so maybe the anime changed it.

>>279866962
Seems okay.

>>279866980
Hm.

>>279866672
Could you check which word they use for "fourth heir" here? I'm guessing it might be "4代目", and I've been struggling with translating that particular term in a kabuki related context. Translating it as "heir" is an attractive idea, but properly speaking it refers to a generation, and a fourth generation would technically not be the same as a fourth heir, since the first generation presumably didn't inherit the position from anyone.

>>279866995
End of chapter. Left referred to Rinne as "貧乏死神" in the original, which is translated accurately here.

Original title is "我が半生" which is what we see VIZ went with. Furinkan went with "Half of my Life" because 半 is half and 生 is life. Presumably, there's a reason why VIZ left it untranslated like it is a distinct thing in this context.

November 9th, 2011. Author's note:
"Q: What animal would you go see at the zoo first and foremost?
A: Tiger!"

>>279865660

talladega nights was on recently and i was reminded of that line
>Skipped the art spacer.
somewhat related, but doesn't masato's pic in the character intro page look fuzzy in that way images sometimes look when they were resized? or is that just a physical print thing and they fixed that in digital?

and could his staff always shoot lasers?

>>279867130
He didn't dump the girl he was really interested in. It is just ambiguously written here. Bad VIZ!

>>279867020
It was apparently "四代目三日月斎" in the narration box with "みかづきさい" in the Furigana. 四代目 does mean "fourth generation" as you said. Furinkan says the following:

""This is the fourth master, Mikazukisai." Here Raito introduces Refuto by saying he is "Mikazukisai" (三日月斎). This is likely meant to be the professional name he inherited."

But I don't know about that? "三日月" does mean crescent moon, so it does refer to their place of business. Not sure what 斎 means in this context. But anyway, you were right. I guess he should be the third heir technically. By the way, Rinne's line is reacting specifically to "四代目".

>>279865962
suzu-kun...
>>279865978
>he might need surgery
do shinigami ever need surgery? i mean, rinne is only a quarter and is mostly human so he might need actual surgery some day
but would full shinigami ever need that?
>>279866020
>Sounds a lot less like patricide if you phrase it this way.
kukukuku
>>279866037
look at that skeleton!
>Her identity revealed. You know, again. The same way as the last few times.
less dramatic though
>>279866053
>first I'll need six-months' worth of salary...
but i thought she was in this for the dick?

>>279867266
Left's line here was "ボケカス。" which Google Translated as "Idiot". Furinkan says that: ""Stupid leftovers/dregs" would be an ultra-literal translation of "bokekasu"."

I assume VIZ went with "balderdash" simply because there's really no context surrounding it in this recap here. And yes, they used the same term (四代目三日月斎) for "fourth heir of the crescent moon" here as well.

>>279867157
I think we saw him laser in his first appearance. And yeah, the Masato is messed up in my files as well.

>>279867376

>it's a miracle!
hallelujah!
>The baby picture of Rinne that Sabato is after has a curtain in the background with the kanji "質" written on it. This "shichi" or "pawn" as in "pawn shop"
was he... was he going to pawn the baby?
or teaching him how to be sketchy i guess would be the more generous interpretation...

>>279867418
Would you look at that?

>>279867295
Presumably there's a salary in the books, but it obviously isn't what's keeping her there. Also, if they can get sick, I can assume they can need surgery.

>>279867437
Huzzah.

>>279867450
The last punch is another Saint Seiya reference, right?

>>279867475

>>279867494
Furinkan notes that: "Refuto and Raito are eating "tsukumi dango" (月見団子), "moon-viewing mochi". These are made from rice flour, rice and water and are traditionally eaten during the Moon Viewing Festival in September. The joke here is connected with the above rabbit/moon aspects of Japanese culture."

Look at their cute little cups. The rabbit you can vaguely see in the spots on the moon looks like it is making mochi.

>>279867562
Oh no.

>>279867583
Furinkan has a note: "Reform fraud (リフォーム詐欺) is a real thing. Basically it involves convincing a customer that work is needed when none actually is. For example a construction company suggesting moisture is trapped beneath wooden flooring and suggesting it is ripe for termites when in fact there is no problem with a floor."

Honestly, I don't know how I would've translated Hansei with this context. I guess it is a memoir so "half of my lifetime" would've been okay?

>>279867748
Whoops.

>>279867753
VIZ seemed to interpret him saying "ボケカス/bokekasu" as him interjecting while Furinkan says he's calling Rinne a dumbass. I guess interpretation is open.

I'm not even sure if VIZ kept consistent with this later on.

>>279867792
Furinkan notes that: "When Refuto restores Rinne scythe he uses a technique called "Renjitsu Shinsen" (連日新鮮) or "Fresh Day After Day"."

>>279867830
Whoops. Again.

>>279867846
Well, there we go. And yes, it was written "hansei" in English letters in the Japanese original as well. Furinkan notes that:

"The name of the third Mikazukisai's book is "我が反省/Wa ga Hansei", "My Life" or "My Recollections". However, because "Hansei" is written in English, Refuto does not realize it is a homophone and actually means "Hansei" as in "反省" (failures)."

The chapter title had it as "我が半生" with the はんせい as the furigana for Hansei. I guess VIZ did the right thing by just leaving it untranslated.

>>279866426
oh my god

>sakura has a sweater on

>One says "sword" before being cut off, the other says "new products arrived".
>No clue on the right side.
i think that's just the communist symbol, anon
but with an arrow instead of a (small) sickle
>>279866672
>She just says "おこしやすー。" or "welcome" here.
according to jisho, that's kyoto dialect
kyoto is considered part of the kansai region
now this has me wondering what her "goodness gracious" was here >>279866580

>>279867898
I thought maybe VIZ translated Right's dialog here to be Kansaiben, but her original line was "またおいでやすー。" which the internet says is Kyoto dialect.

>>279867952
End of chapter. VIZ translated "じゃボケ。" to "you dope", which is accurate.

Original title was "ワックスどうぐす" which seems to mean "wax tools", but I'm not sure. Furinkan didn't bother to translate it.

November 16th, 2011. Author's note:
"Q: Please tell us a time when you've said, "I don't like it even a little!"
A: Coriander."

>>279868063
Well, this time, google translate translated "ワックスどうどすか。" from the first panel to "How about some wax?" so I guess VIZ did good after all. Though I don't know why one would have the か character and the other won't.

Also, this gag is a great use of the medium.

>>279867910
Oh. I didn't know that. Her "goodness gracious" was "たっ、大変どすっ!" And yeah, November means sweaters. Also, I meant the sign on the right side of the panel, goofball.

>>279868117
What are the chances.

>>279868130

>>279868144
Gross.

>>279868152
Not going to keep posting Furinkan's explanation of this.

>>279868160

>>279868184
Hm?

>>279868191

>>279867266
>斎
Kotobank tells me that it can basically be used as a honorific for rooms. So yeah, Mikazukisai basically just means Crescent Moon Hall. It's also sometimes used in pen-names by writers, but Left doesn't strike me as the literary sort.

>>279868205
Oh no, Rokumon.

>>279868236
Incredible!

>>279868227
Ah, that makes way more sense. Yeah, Furinkan didn't get it this time. Good explanation.

>>279866780
i didn't know about that either
well either way, the idea of "older/younger" when it comes to twins isn't a serious idea here anyway
maybe someone will ask out of curiosity who was born first, but i've only ever seen the "older" twin insist on being treated as the elder one played for comedy in western media because no one takes that difference of minutes/hours seriously
>>279866816

but what do i know

>>279868251
Why... why would they reenact it?

>>279868287
A kind soul.

>>279868280
Assuming they don't die from something else, it certainly seems like you can't unwittingly die from old age.

>>279868332
Wow!

>>279868345

>>279868360
Furinkan notes that: "Seven Deities of Good Luck, also known as the Seven Lucky Gods or as they are known in Japan, the "Shichi Fukuin" (七福神) are seven gods of good fortune."

We've seen them a lot in Rumic works by now. These wallets are a thing.

>>279868407

>>279868483
A balloon of fire crackers?

>>279868251
Thinking about it a bit, I suppose that it could be actually used in the nom-de-plume sense here. So you have 三日月堂, meaning "Crescent Moon Hall", which refers to the business, and 三日月斎, which is the inherited title for the owner of the business. Complicated, this translation stuff.

>>279868495
Furinkan notes that: "Duralumin is a portmanteau of "durable aluminum", which is a copper-aluminum alloy."

Also, hahahaha. I love this page.

>>279868525

Yeah, I don't envy localizers.

>>279868730
I don't know why this isn't a skeletal horse but is instead a horse with wings. But I guess variety is the spice of life. Also, his final speech bubble here was "くそっひどいめにあった。".

>>279868765
Only the pettiest.

>>279868791

>>279868805
End of chapter. The term translated as "bro" was "兄貴". This does mean "big brother" but as in other Rumic manga, it is used here to reference the term's use by yakuza for more senior members.

Original title was "Mの悲劇" and Furinkan has a note regarding it: "The title ... "M's Tragedy" (Mの悲劇), is based on a 1982 Japanese novel "W's Tragedy" (Wの悲劇). This was in turn adapted into a film of the same name directed by Shinichiro Sawai (who directed the live-action Maison Ikkoku Apartment Fantasy film). Takahashi would also use the title for her 1991 short story The Tragedy of P (Ｐの悲劇)."

>>279868897
The angelic look of the staff is amusing.

>>279868929
As before, the term used here is "悪魔のささやき" which is an expression that literally means "devil's whisper" but refers to you know, the metaphorical devil on your shoulder.

>>279867952

'dou' can be used to make a suggestion in the "what about"/"how about" way, but 'gusu' isn't making sense...
and 'ugusu' doesn't seem to be a word either

>>279868953
Heh, the stupid chalk outline.

>>279868966
Oh.

>>279868990
Poor firework man...

>>279869008

>>279869029
So, uh, Masato is "innocent" in a very VERY narrow sense.

>>279869038
Forgot to mention that the bank says "anoyo bank", as in "afterlife bank". Anoyo (あの世) means "other world" and refers to the afterlife in this series and in general.

Kain's final line here had a note in Japanese: "命数管理局のMのマーク! (ローマ字読み)" so, it said "read in romanized characters". I assume the M in that case refers to "命数" or "Meisu" as in "lifespan". I assume in VIZ's localzation, the M is for Management.

>>279869133

>>279869147
Ah.

>>279868117
>though I don't know why one would have the か character and the other won't.
why indeed... but another thing
>ワックスどうどすか
>どうどすか
that's dou*do*suka
you said that the title was written as dou*gu*su
is it ど or ぐ?

>>279869197
Furinkan has a note here:
"The "M" on the duralumin case is said to have different meanings depending on who the case belonged to. Kain says it stands for "Meisuu" (命数/lifespan). Rinne says the "M" stands for "Masato", but Masato, because he cannot spell says it stands for "akuMa" (悪魔/demon)."

Ah. Lucky for VIZ, both "akuma" and "demon" have an M sound.

>>279869223
Kain doesn't need too much pushing.

>>279869202
It was ど. Sorry. I trusted Google Lens too much there.

>>279869373
The "Shinigami Medium Seals" were referred to as "依代シール" or "yorishiro seals". Furinkan reminds us that: "Yorishiro (依代) is a Shinto term for an object that has a spirit drawn to it." We previously saw the term "yorishiro" show up in the context of a balloon and a doll, but VIZ translated it as "channeling doll" and "channeling balloon". I don't know why the changed it up this time. I guess because these don't really channel in the same way? Still, I prefer to be consistent.

The toad sticker says "ヒキガエル" or "toad".

Masato's attack last page was "地獄の業火" so, "Hell Fire" but using the Japanese terms.

>>279869549
End of chapter. Pay dirt.

Original title was "スイーツ霊" or "suittsu rei". "スイーツ" clearly is a loanword from the English "sweets".

It is usually frowned upon to bring tupperware to a buffet. The Japanese term here was "タッパー" which is "tappaa" so clearly a loanword from the brand name.

Also, googling a bit, it seems Japanese people don't do "to-go" boxes for leftovers in general at restaurants.

And yes, the sign said "Sweet & cake" with English letters in the Japanese original as well.

>>279869806

>>279869816
Perhaps unsurprisingly, this ghost has some design differences from a lot of Rumiko characters.

>>279869834

>>279869851
As usual.

>>279869868

>>279869894
What a waste.

>>279869910
Rinne read between the lines.

>>279869922
Ugh!

>>279869951
Be careful.

>>279869980
Oh good.

>>279869997

>>279870012
Clever.

>>279870023
Whoops. She really is prone to them. That... was incredibly quick.

>>279870058
End of chapter. Uh, huzzah...

>>279868483
kain lost his lower eyelash again...
he had them earlier when he was chasing down mackerel man
>>279868525
TJ is back!
>Furinkan notes that: "Duralumin is a portmanteau of "durable aluminum", which is a copper-aluminum alloy."
neat, i also didn't know that's what those types of cases were called
>>279868551

rokumon could fit in that suitcase
>>279868558
rinne fucking died
>>279868597
>so, where do we hide all this?
>or should we leave the country?
nyahahaha

Original title is "旨味たっぷりモニター" or "Umami tappuri monitā". モニター clearly is a loanword from the English "monitor". I didn't know umami could just mean delicious.

December 14th, 2011. Author's note:
"Q: Please tell us your favorite season and why.
A: Early summer, because the air is refreshing."

>>279870136
Well, that answers the question of why they don't just steal power from the afterlife all the time.

>>279870168
What a strange scythe.

>>279870193
Hehe, their stupid faces in that top panel.

>>279870243
Cute.

>>279870259

>>279870295
Disaster.

>>279870366

>>279868631
>then explain all this money
kain has rinne dead to rights
>>279868651
i see this is the volume where rinne dies
>>279868730
so actual devils can just waltz out of hell and into a store in the afterlife and be serviced?
>>279868765
that's literally a pegasus
>>279868791
>i was only planning to blow you up, not set up you as a thief! (this time)
lmao

>>279870397

>>279870413
...?

>>279870454
Now you know.

>>279870479

>>279870516
The expression used in the first panel is "論より証拠や" and it can be translated in many ways, but this is one of them.

>>279870592
Aw. Look at them.

>>279870608
Why... why would they translate "bakeneko" here but not anywhere else? Whatever. The original line was "化け猫級や。".

>>279870628
The mechanics of this...

>>279868805
>cuffs him
kinky
>>279868854
>let's make a break for it, bro
b- bros, is this a win or a loss?
>>279868880
>this tragedy has been brought to you by the letter M
i wonder what the W stood for in the original novel?
hmm looks like this novel was translated but the title was changed to
>murder at mt. fuji
>>279868897
>You'd think Kain would care about mortals going into the afterlife, but I guess he has other things going on.
his urge to kill rinne is too strong

>>279870642
Yummy.

>>279870701
End of chapter. Oh well.

>>279868929
>>279868953
masato is oddly okay with sharing luxuries with rinne with their ill-gotten money

>swoon

>>279869008
>this should cover it
>>blows up the store
terrible, strangely based, and funny all rolled into one
now kick masato's ass

Original title was "クリスマスの条件" or "Christmas Requirements" as Furinkan translated it. It seems 条件 means terms or conditions. And yes, クリスマス is Christmas or Kurisumasu.

I love this chapter and I love this cover. Also, Furinkan notes that: "Double-numbered issues indicate that a new issue will not be published the following week. This is done to give the artists a holiday break." So yeah, this was the last chapter of 2011.

December 21st, 2011. Author's note:
"Q: Please tell us your childhood dream.
A: I had none, but I'll lie and say bus tour guide."

>>279870906
Christmas cake is a traditional desert around this time in Japan.

>>279870809
I assume dress up because it raises too many questions otherwise.

>>279870963
Sigh...

>>279870989
Sign says "売家" or "house for sale".

>>279871011
...

>>279869029
kain should've been hidden in some form of transporation...
there's still the chance of running into an explosion and getting run into by a pegasus, but it might've helped
maybe
>>279869038
>So, uh, Masato is "innocent" in a very VERY narrow sense.
masata was just trying to cause property damage, not fraud! (this time)
>>279869133
>I assume the M in that case refers to "命数" or "Meisu" as in "lifespan"
so that's what the japanese was
>>279869223
>the "M" in "demon"!
masato your dyslexia is showing...
>>279869328
listening to the devil's temptation or letting rinne walk free? tough choice for kain lol

>>279871028
These are probably significantly rarer in Japan. I feel there's so many of these where I am.

>>279871070
Zooom.

>>279871100
Furinkan notes that: "In Japan Christmas (particularly Christmas Eve) is seen as a romantic holiday when a couple might spend time together and exchange gifts. The decorations and festive atmosphere of Christmas in the west is present, minus the religious aspects. This is why Ageha is keen to be with Rinne for Christmas and have a date with him."

Oh and the original Japanese had Miho refer to a recession (rather than just hard times) so Furinkan has a note about Japan's various ones:

""Oh yeah, I've heard that they had to sell the house because of the recession." - Beginning in 1991 the the Japanese "bubble economy" burst resulting in what was initially called the "Lost Decade" (1991-2001). When the economy failed to improve by 2011 the term "The Lost 20 Years" was introduced. Another ten years passed and the term became "The Lost 30 Years," or more generally "The Lost Decades" (失われた十年). The 2008 Great Recession, the Tohoku Earthquake of 2011 and the global COVID-19 pandemic and resulting recession have all prolonged Japan's economic woes."

>>279871181
"サンタさ〜ん。" or "Santa sa-an".

>>279869365
>Masato doesn't pay for things out of the love of the game.
real
>>279869373
the case is alive!!
>hellfire
his other attacks tend to be engrishu, was this herufaia?
>>279869549
it's... not the tsukumogami stickers?
>become possessed by a spirit
by the type of spirit drawn on the sticker?
i wonder what the human shaped ones of a an adult holding a kid's hand is supposed to become... a parent? a child?
>Masato's attack last page was "地獄の業火" so, "Hell Fire" but using the Japanese terms
that answers that
>>279869578
>9,990 yen inconvenience fee
his deadbeat dad would be so proud

>>279871220
Furinkan notes that:

""So they asked me to leave some chicken for it as an offering." - Chicken (particularly Kentucky Fried Chicken) is considered a traditional Christmas meal in Japan. In the 1970s KFC began their "Kentucky for Christmas" promotion in Japan to try and create a Christmas tradition. The promotion was a huge success and Japanese households soon adopted the concept of getting a "party barrel" (what we call a "bucket" of chicken in the west) to eat with their family on Christmas Eve. The 1981 documentary Colonel Comes to Japan discusses how KFC entered the Japanese market and found success."

Of course, we already have that note from VIZ. That documentary is on youtube, if you're interested.

>>279871250
Hehehe.

>>279871229
Yeah, different stickers. I guess to make it act like a dog.

>>279871285
These are kind of cute honestly.

>>279869614
>Q: Please tell us your motto.
>A: Endure thick and thin to get what you want.
i bet this was a yojijukugo
>>279869647
damn those look great
>the incident occurred at the dessert buffet
where is this dessert buffet that's so accessible to japanese high schoolers?
speaking of food i'll be off to see what i eat

>>279871317
Hehe, the stupid reindeer hat.

>>279871337
No...

>>279871367

>>279871382
Incredible. I love that the completely unattended bucket was completely ignored up to this moment.

>>279871444

>>279871458
End of chapter. Merry Christmas, Rinne. But seriously, the cutting of the bucket in two is probably in the top five of my favorite gags in this entire series.

Original title is "白紙絵馬". This translates to a "blank ema", where ema (絵馬) is a "votive picture". It is translated as prayer plaque, which is accurate enough.

Furinkan notes that: "No issue was published the following week in order to give the artists and staff of Shonen Sunday a New Year's holiday break."

January 4th, 2012. Author's note:
"Q: What is the coolest thing?
A: The moment someone hits a homerun."

>>279865845
Last panel is like the most displeasure we've seen from Sakura. Usually she's so passive.

>>279871554
More untranslated signs. I see "New Year's Sale" and "Gunpowder". I can't really read the signs in the back. I can't read any of them, I am pasting these into machine translations.

>>279871632
Makes things difficult.

>>279871653
I'm sure you can read some of the wishes here, but I can't. I like the little family drawing though. That's cute.

>>279871669
Classic Miho. She put a little heart in the original panel.

>>279871694
Zoooom.

>>279871706

>>279871712
Hm.

>>279871317
Oh, Furinkan has a note for Tsubasa's line. It seems the localizer's went for a pragmatic translation rather than explain all the context. Furinkan has us though:

""It's just like the Hyakumonogatari parlor game." - Tsubasa is referring to "Hyakumonogatari Kaidankai" (百物語怪談会) which translates as "A Gathering of One Hundred Supernatural Tales". The parlor games was popularized during the Edo period and involved three rooms of a home. In one room a table with a mirror placed upon it was filled with 100 lit candles. Neighbors and friends were invited into the home and told ghost stories called "kaidan" (怪談). With the conclusion of each tale the host would pass from the dark first room, through the dark second room and into the candle-filled third room. There, they would extinguish a candle and stare into the mirror to see if a ghost appeared. Allegedly, once 100 tales were told and the final candle was snuffed something mysterious would happen."

>>279871751

>>279871762
Rokumon saves the day.

>>279871554
>January 4th, 2012.
happy 2012 everybody!

>>279871782
I assume Yonbo was some sort of pun? It was "四棒高校" in Japanese. Four Bar High School? No clue.

>>279871831

>>279871846
A bit different than usual.

>>279871863
Imagine that.

>>279871669
One guy wants to win a billion yen in the lottery
Someone else wants to get married to some dude
One's just wishing for happiness

>>279871873
What?!

>>279871904
... that is cheap.

>>279871919
Good luck.

>>279871762
I think they forgot to typeset that last bubble, there...

>>279871932
End of chapter, end of volume. Karma...

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 14 of Rin-ne. In addition, I will be dumping the Rumic one-shot "A Guilty Happening" in that thread.

>>279871933
You're absolutely correct. It was "白紙絵馬
が―――っ!!", as in "the blank player plaque!"

>>279871989

>>279871989
Thanks for the storytime, OP!

Here's the Japanese cover for Volume 13. Bunnies.

>>279871989
>In addition, I will be dumping the Rumic one-shot "A Guilty Happening" in that thread.
ohhh

>>279872642
>Bunnies.
do you think they can turn into (possibly large) rabbits?

>>279871011
Damn it, Ageha. Stop being cute.

>>279873044
Well, this guy >>279866816 seemed pretty rabbitlike, at least.

>>279869614
Here's the cover of Shonen Sunday where this chapter debuted. There's some Rin-ne there. But also, as Furinkan notes: "On the cover is Yui Aragaki promoting the live-action Ranma 1/2 television special that was airing on Nihon Terebi on December 9, 2011. She portrayed Akane Tendo in the live-action drama."

>>279873127
>this guy seemed pretty rabbitlike
he did indeed
i wonder what's up with the forms of these rabbit-beings and the black cats
during the test some were basically big cats standing on their hind legs, some had human-esque bodies, and others were like kurosu and suzu with human bodies with cat ears + tail (oboro still has cat feet, while kurosu and suzu wear shoes)

>>279871891
God Help the Outcasts, indeed.

>>279869659
what a tragic waste of chocolate... ;~;
>>279869816
>don't get found out, rokumon

you should've turned into a tiny fluffy kitty, the girls would feed you the sweets themselves!
>>279869834
>the cake's ruined...

that was chocolate sauce wasn't it? or some other sweet, likely fruit-flavored, sauce right?

>zoom in
>enhance
girl the pimple was under your bangs
nobody's going to see your forehead in the rumicverse unless a very strong gust blows your hair up
we can probably count how many time we've seen rinne's forehead on one hand
>>279869997
another incredibly specific item
>>279870023
oh nevermind he made that up
>it was already programmed to do that
nevermind that nevermind, a doll that forms pimples is a weirdly specific item

>>279870012
he has freckles :-)

>>279870058
>That... was incredibly quick.
taihen da...
>>279870069
owari da...
>>279870136
>モニター clearly is a loanword from the English "monitor"
looking this up further, besides meaning "monitor", it can also refer to a "person who gives feedback on products"
i'm assuming this usage entered their vocab by a slight misunderstanding/reinterpretation of someone who monitors something? i see the similarities but i feel like there's a difference between a monitor and a tester (that i can't quite put into words right now)

anyways
that scythe is kind of ugly ngl

>>279870592
>論より証拠
that saying isn't nearly as fun, and doesn't play into how rinne wants to eat the scythe lol
convenient coincidence for the translators though

>>279874488
I'll be honest, I assume it is because they are fuzzy.

>>279870608
to make up for the lack of smol rokumon
>Aw. Look at them.

>>279874158

>>279866315
There's always money in the banana stand.

>>279870628
>why would they translate "bakeneko" here but not anywhere else?
i figure it's because of the grade/rank (級) part
"bakeneko grade" doesn't sound especially dangerous, and we don't have perspective if that's supposed to be a higher rank than the other cat creatures like nekomata and the black cats
>化け猫級や

>>279878157
I actually have some bad news about that. The source for my fan translations for Rumic Theater has dried up. They haven't done more than two chapters from that series as far as I can tell right now.

I have no idea what to do. There is no official translation for these yet.

>>279883651
I did a translation of a short story called Dedicated to S on a whim some years ago, if you want to use that. I think it's included in the volume that came out after Witch and Dinner.

>>279884038
Oh, awesome! That's really great. Also, I want to say I really appreciate your dedication with Mao as well.

Yeah, it is from The Power of Money. There is also a fanscan of The Power of Money as well. Of course, this doesn't solve the issue of these other annual manga not yet being translated.

I found that the big comic original twitter actually dumped the whole thing last year (no color pages unfortunately)
>https://xcancel.com/bigc_original/status/1742576657251340395
I'll keep searching to see if I can find translations, maybe the spics have it (I can read spanish)
after that would be
>Revenge Doll
which was part of the Came the Mirror that VIZ published
also the site I've been getting the rin-ne color pages from seems to have some other one-shots and even some of rumiko's short personal stories, but I'll check the dates and all that in a bit

>>279868551
>>279868558
>when you're so poor the mere sight of richness takes a toll on you
so stupid... but so effective

>>279868668
>you now remember Masato

>>279893748
>be me

>finds that some are just listed but don't have the actual chapter...
>but they have this

>ElFairy/Sprite
>https://www.furinkan.com/rumictheater/manga/elf.html

>>279893748
>>279894414
found this, but chronologically it would be after My Sky
>I Can't Throw Away Books
>https://www.furinkan.com/rumictheater/manga/throwaway.html
what a random thing to translate

>>279869806
>I'll get the tupperware

>>279869980
>fujobubbles for Rinne

>>279871181
>bubble burst recession is terrible
>wages stayed the same
>cost of living stayed the same as well
Doesn't sound too bad tbqdesu

>>279895058
that site wasn't as promising as i'd hoped, but we will overcome
while there i was reminded about the earthquake charity magazine and i don't believe you dumped the special inuyasha epilogue chapter (it was published in february 2013, so it would be before My Sky)
trying to search 'la bruja y cena' and discovered that italy actually published the witch and dinner/dinner with the witch (which reminded me that と can be used to mean "with")

>>279893748
Oh, I have a Revenge Doll. Yeah, I obviously have read all the ones from Came the Mirror at least.

>>279894414
Oh cool! I remember looking for this. Nice. Reminds me that I also found the one about the hungry ghost.

>>279896598
>Reminds me that I also found the one about the hungry ghost.
which one is that?
also did you ever find/dump the 2-page short 1980?
>https://www.furinkan.com/rumictheater/manga/1980.html
because i found that

>>279896758
It was called "The Shape of Gluttony". And yeah, I did 1980.

>>279892803
>why these pages look like this?
evil spirit's fault

>>279865858
>>279865890

>>279869703
This is CLOSE to a smol Rokumon... but not quite.

Damn it Ageha, you're rich! You should be treating Rinne!

>>279896840
alright, cool
>>279896154 (me)
>i don't believe you dumped the special inuyasha epilogue chapter
i double-checked the last inuyasha thread, and indeed you did not dump it
you said something about dumping it in the rin-ne threads

speaking of one-shots... while searching for more, i discovered that bato.to has color scans of the tragedy of P chapters...
>picrel...
me fighting the wind and finding angles to avoid shadows to take pics was... unnecessary.....

now back to the Tragedy of P

Hidden in the Pottery
>https://desuarchive.org/a/thread/265989139/#q265997258

>Tonegawa is written 利根川
which is also the name of an irl river
利根 when said as rikon can mean "intelligence", "cleverness"

>Based On A True Story!
>"I Butchered My Mother-in-Law!"
the original is suspiciously specific
>再現ドラマ
Dramatic Reenactment
>ショック‼
Shock!!
>姑の遺骨を池にばらまく鬼の嫁‼
The demon (oni) daughter-in-law who scattered her mother-in-law's ashes/bones in the pond!!
^ you noted in the original thread furinkan's note
>Unlike western cremation, the temperature is done at a lower heat to ensure that fragments of bone (okotsu) remain for burial.
the tv show uses okotsu

>Quite a font choice there.
The Green Garden was originally 緑ヶ丘園芸
緑ヶ丘 seems to be a placename meaning "green hill"

>>279899937
pic of the slightly spooky font
not much to note, there was only one name and hardly any signs
it was a nice solemn little story

>>279900000
Well, well, well.

>>279898959
she would catch rinne's eye if she did that
he might even hug her if she did

>>279900396
I was so confused why you replied with that image but I see it now

>>279899820
I still appreciate it.

>>279899937
I actually saw that title but I felt Google Lens must've been messing it up so I didn't post it.

>>279901237
>I actually saw that title
of the tv show?

>>279901428
Yeah.

>>279901553
doko?

>>279868117
>I meant the sign on the right side of the panel, goofball.
it's not actually really legible
if i squint, the first character vaguely looks like 特 "special"?

>>279866529
>No luck with these signs.
above the girl with ponytails it says 飾 which means "ornament"
the kanji by the cartoon bomb drawing is cut-off but it was probably explosion 爆 or smoke 煙
(smoke bombs?)
next to the big sign for chains is 万 which means "10,000" or "myriad"
a myriad of what? who knows, the sign above it is cut off but i can kind of see ま at the beginning

>>279902946
>>279902845
Good info.

>>279902137
As in, I Google Lens'd it and it gave me something similar, but I assumed it was messed up because it seemed odd.

>>279867562
>Look at their cute little cups.
teehee

>>279867898

>>279868558
just noticed that rokumon joined rinne in death here

making it a twofer today

One Hundred Years of Love
>https://desuarchive.org/a/thread/268577796/#q268588052
picrel is from the fanscan

>>279905099
>paper that says "dog"
it's unknown what the sign under the dog says, only ほ is visible

Yosaburo is 与三郎
与 means "bestow", "gift" and similar things
三郎 means "third son", but male names ending in -ro is common, it's like -ko for boys

>>279905113
the fan translation mentions "the fabled soumatou phenomenon"
the original line does say 走馬灯
you brought this up recently because it was the name of one of rinne's tools

>>279905126
Risa Hoshino is 星野りさ with 星野 being "star field" which I think was used in the thousand faces one-shot wasn't it?

>>279905139
now onto the red tint

Date is 伊達 which is a word meaning "sophistication", "chivalrous", "affectation" and so on
his "Risa dear" is a translation of りっちゃん Ritchan

here's something I learned: I noticed the kanji for "tea" and "drink" in the original, but both viz and the fan translation say good friends
apparently 茶飲み友達 "tea-drinking friend" is a way of expressing you were buddies

>>279905184
Takanezawa is 高根沢 which is "tall/high", "root", and "swamp"

and from the black and white pages:
Koizumi is 小泉 "small fountain"
I checked the other patient names to see if there was anything
>Fukuda, Toyoko; Owada, Kin
>福田とよ子 and 小和田きん
Fukuda is written with "luck" and Owada with "small peace", both end with "rice field"

the books: Unsolved Mysteries, Strange But True, Impossible?, ESP
>不思議な出来事, 世界の超常現象, 超能力開発, ESP
>strange/amazing events, paranormal world, psychic ability development, ESP

>>279905216
>from the black and white pages
continued

the titles of the books on Takanezawa's shelf are very similar to the translation

>Iced Sweat is a gross name for a sports drink. I assume this was goofy localization.
yeah they were having fun lol the name of the brand is cut-off (...ited) in the raws but the word "people" is on the top of the can

>I like their choice of movie.
and they were having fun with that too
the original name includes the words "forever" and "shining" (middle is covered by his head)

>>279905249
>picrel
and that's all of the color/red tint pages

and the last of my notes:
in case you ever want to know how to write "will you marry me?" in japanese
>結婚してくれ
is what his sign said
interestingly, the redrawer made the extra effort to try to show the message on the next page too when in the original it's blank

and kosaburo is written 小三郎 with 小 meaning "small"

>>279905273
>picrel: The Tragedy of A
so that you may gave upon the proper scans of the color pages
>https://bato.to/series/42108
all that effort under the sun battling the wind... it should've been saved for when i get the masterpiece volumes...
any questions for these two one-shots?

>>279905273
I love this one. I don't have questions that you haven't addressed, but I still appreciate it. Also, these colors are so pretty.

My findings so far in regards to one-shots during Rin-ne's publication

2012
>A Guilty Happening (March 5) = to be dumped on Wednesday

Things aren't as hopeless as you thought OP

>>279865908
>>279868651
i felt this type of energy
>picrel
from kain in these scenes

>>279868730
>Lot of untranslated signs.
above the big "fireworks" (花火) sign it says
>爆竹 (i think)・かんしゃく玉
爆竹 is "firecrackers" and かんしゃく玉 is also a firecrackers but also means "fit of anger"
different types i guess?
next to that is 火薬 which is "gundpowder" and it's written with the kanji for "fire" and "medicine" heh
the poster behind the shopkeeper says "fireworks display" 花火大会
the sign in the bottom panel behind masata says "ammunition" 弾薬

>>279907048 (me)
and also here >>279868805

>>279869008
the way masato is posed here is interesting
almost looks like domestic abuse

>>279869614
the chinese came through with the color page
>picrel

>>279906447
This is wonderful news. I didn't realize. I get to keep posting these, which makes me very happy. Rereading Rumic series has been great, but these one-shots are almost all completely new to me so I get to be surprised by them.

>>279906447

>>279867020
>I've been struggling with translating that particular term in a kabuki related context.

>>279910535
See, the problem is, usually when you have 代目 in kabuki, it's the nth holder of a particular stage name. E.g. 十三代目市川團十郎 is Ichikawa Danjuro XIII. In real kabuki, actors can progress trough multiple stage names over their career, which also involves belonging to small "guilds" associated with specific names, families or acting styles. While family lineage is important, the stage names and guild names often don't correspond at all to each other or to the families of the actors — for instance, the aforementioned Ichikawa Danjuro XIII's birth name is Horikoshi Takatoshi, and his current guild name is Narita-ya.
In the series I'm working on, though, this is all simplified so that an acting family's surname is also their guild name, a single family constitutes a single guild, and stage names are pretty much completely ignored. This causes problems when they refer to someone as 代目, because what it basically means is that that person is the nth generation of the family who was, is or will go on to become the master of the guild. When the main character is referred to as 17代目, I can't translate it as Kunisaki Izumo XVII, because his full name is his real name: His father is the 16代目 despite having a different personal name. I could drop the first name and go with Kunisaki XVII, but I'm sort of iffy on that since there are a whole bunch of other characters with the same surname. "17th heir" as I already noted would just be inaccurate.
"The 17th Generation" or "(Future) 17th Head (of the guild)" are the best translations in my opinion, but they can be pretty clunky depending on context, and also requires fitting several words in the space of three kanji... And this isn't even going into all the deliberation I've had about using the word "guild" as a translation for "屋".

>>279911187
Naruhodo.

>>279911187
>>279910535
What a nightmare. Yeah, they should've realized. But I don't mind what they did besides the ultimately minor inaccuracy. You could maybe argue that the founder is the first heir if you go for a flowery idea of inheriting it from destiny or something...

>>279911187
>When the main character is referred to as 17代目, I can't translate it as Kunisaki Izumo XVII, because his full name is his real name: His father is the 16代目 despite having a different personal name.
oof
>"The 17th Generation" or "(Future) 17th Head (of the guild)" are the best translations in my opinion, but they can be pretty clunky depending on context, and also requires fitting several words in the space of three kanji...
Could "The 17th" /"The 17th Kunisaki" work? It would treat the stage name as more of a title I think

>>279914362
>The 17th
Yeah, I'm leaning towards that option, at least in some contexts. It just all gets a little complex when you throw in terms like 御曹子 or 梨園 into the mix, so it takes some amount of consideration to pick the best translation in each case.

>>279914362 (me)
>>279911187
>and stage names are pretty much completely ignored.
Oh wait... But he is The 17th Kunisaki even if he's not The 17th Kunisaki Izumo

>>279914600
Sure, but I just feel it's a bit silly to call him that when there are four other apprentices in the guild with the surname Kunisaki. I assume that they came in from outside the family, so in their case it would actually be a stage name.

>>279911187
>and also requires fitting several words in the space of three kanji...
fuck it, do what the old rumic theater translations did and redraw the speech bubble to better accommodate the word if necessary

post cute kitties
