Alright, it is Wednesday and I am gonna post the twenty-first 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 ๅขƒ็•ŒใฎRINNE (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: >>280730469

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 ใƒˆใƒณใƒใƒซใซไฝ•ใ‹ใ„ใ‚‹ which Google translated as "What's in the tunnel?".

Furinkan mentions that: "The "Sunday Summer Thanksgiving Fesitval" begins in this issue. The contest continues for four issues in total in which readers must collect four entry tickets in order to enter to win one of 27 original colored shikishi from the current series running in Shonen Sunday." I'll post the scan they have. A shikishi (่‰ฒ็ด™) is just a square paper board often used in Japan for autographs.

July 17th, 2013. Author's note:
"Q: What makes you say "this is my favorite"?
A: Cooler and a nighter."

Furinkan notes that: "A "nighter" is a night baseball game."

UY also did the blood vs. ink thing in one of the chapters. I know the new anime for it used a filter to translate it into color, since it works better in black and white manga.

Woo, my favorite character is here!
Also, I'll probably go to bed before you finish dumping, so here's a link to the English translation of My Sky. I'm guessing you're going to dump it on Saturday, so let me know if you spot any mistakes and I'll fix them before then.

I'm a little bothered by translating "octopus nigiri" as octopus on rice. And Rinne's image clearly depicts takoyaki and yes, that's what he said in the bubble as well.

Pickled (or vinegar) octopus is called ้…ขใƒ€ใ‚ณ in Japanese. I've never had it. I have a mixed relationship with octopus culinarily so I don't know how much I would enjoy it.

Just curious anons.
Every one in a while I cross with these threads and can't but think
>God Rumiko art kinda looks like crap
But then I remember she is already an old lady, yet still a very active one at making manga, so I don't mind it and I know most anons here probably feel the same.
Still... How is the writing in this manga? Does it compensate for the meh art?

Yup, this chapter starts like this. We do have a cover, but it is on the next page. This chapter's first three pages were originally in color actually.

Rumiko often has full bodies extend into other panels, but it is a little funny here. And yes, the bottle seemed to say "sun scleene" in English in the original manga as well.

July 24th, 2013. Author's note:
"Q: Please let us know what manga genre you would like to try?
A: Picaresque romance."

I had to google picaresque. I don't think Mao qualifies, so I hope she gets to do it in some form. Maybe as a one-shot.

Skipped the art spacer. The term used here by Rinne was ๆญป็ฅž้’ๅนด้ƒจ or "Shinigami Youth Group" or "Shinigami Youth Club".

>>280855524
So, I am undeniably very biased but I will be the first to admit that Rumiko's art has gotten a lot more simplified and basic than her works from the 80s. I don't think it is just plain bad, I think it captures the manga-like style she was inspired by well but I'll admit, it can feel very utilitarian. As for the writing though, I feel I have to approach it on a case by case basis. There are definitely some chapters and one-shots that feel a bit underdeveloped or whose central schtick doesn't hit with me. I do however find Rin-ne very charming as a series and most of the gags entertain me, even if a lot of them are running gags like in Urusei Yatsura. Mao is a more serious story, so I am a bit more critical of some of the episodic chapters, but I do feel that the dramatic elements of it work for me the same way the dramatic elements of Mermaid Saga did. And I really do feel that it is less slapdash in terms of plotting than Inuyasha was.

Furinkan's note: "[This chapter has] a seal with a black, horned demon pictured on it. This creature is called Tsunodaishi (่ง’ๅคงๅธซ) and according to legend he is actually the 10th century monk Ryogen (่‰ฏๆบ) the head abbott of the temple Enryakuji. It was said that Ryogen was able to turn into this creature, alternatively described as an oni or a yaksha in order to banish evil-doers. His demonic alias, Tsunodaishi, means "Great Horned Master" and appears on ofuda paper talismen. The Tendai sect still distribute ofuda featuring Tsunodaishi."

Yeah, this seal came up before in chapter 76, which Furinkan also noted.

Furinkan says that: "The spirit of the tree embedded in the pillar has a face that resembles a haniwa (ๅŸด่ผช), a terracotta soldier that were initially placed on top of tombs."

I think it is a bit of a stretch. It definitely resembles the sort of paranormal spots people imagine are ghosts in houses and buildings.

้œŠ่ฆ–ใ‚ดใƒผใ‚ฐใƒซ (reishi gougoru) so, this is pretty direct translation. Apparently, you can translate reishi as clairvoyance too, but spirit vision is obviously accurate here. And yeah, gougoru is a loanword from the English word goggles.

้œŠ้“ใ‚ซใƒกใƒฉ (rei-dou kamera). Translated literally here. And yes, kamera is a loanword from English.

The title is translated pretty literally, but I'll post the Japanese title because it is apparently a reference. It was ใƒŠใ‚นใƒญใƒžใƒณ.

Also, this cover might seem a little odd, but here's some context from Furinkan: "During Obon families set up impaled cucumbers and eggplants with toothpicks to symbolize horses and cows. The cucumber, the symbol of the spirit horse (็ฒพ้œŠ้ฆฌ, shoryo-uma), is supposed to bring the soul of the deceased quickly into this world to his family. The spirit cow (็ฒพ้œŠ็‰›, shoryo-ushi), symbolized by the eggplant, slowly takes the soul back into the afterlife." And yes, this chapter came out in August which is the month Obon takes place.

Furinkan also notes that: "Takahashi's third editor on Kyokai no RINNE, Masato Itaya, listed this chapter as his favorite chapter. In the linked interview he explains that the origin of the title is a reference to the bath salts in which the gravure idol "Fumin" appeared in commercials for in the '90's." I'll post the interview segment after the dump.

August 7th, 2013. Author's note:

I do wonder at times why someone would translate "takoyaki" as grilled octopus and then just translate ใฏใ‚ as "Haah..." I feel like when you're doing that, you're accepting that it is a very Japanese work and you may as well keep it very Japanese.

Then again, I don't know the alternatives. I guess maybe "Wha..." feels the most directly equivalent to me.

The original manga had ๅฝผๅฅณ at the bubble pointing to the younger woman but with the furigana ใƒกใ‚ฎใƒ„ใƒ which does in fact mean, vixen or female fox. It refers to a cunning and manipulative woman in slang though. A little different from our slang from the same term, but close enough for VIZ and I guess me as well.

Good, VIZ put a clear note about it. Also, here's Furinkan's note: "The bamboo chute with noodles that Ayame uses is a "nagashi somen" (ๆตใ—ใ‚ฝใƒผใƒกใƒณ). Traditionally it would be noodles that are floated down split open bamboo chutes for people to pull out with chopsticks and enjoy. In modern times these mechanical waterslide like devices are meant to replicate the feeling on a smaller, indoor scale."

This seems like such a pain. I can't imagine it being worth it, but I'll try it if I ever get the chance.

The "spirit bonds are like astral ties" is a good attempt by VIZ, since apparently, the original line was also somewhat redundant. I honestly am not sure what the distinction being made is here: "้œŠ็ต†ใจใฏใ€้œŠ็š„็ต†ใฎไบ‹ใงใ‚ใ‚‹ใ€‚้œŠ็ต† and ้œŠ็š„็ต† seem the same to me. But again, I don't speak Japanese.

Original panel similarly wrote it out twice. The letter did look more hand-written, but it certainly didn't seem illegible. Oh and I may as well add, the word for shopping mall is ใ‚ทใƒงใƒƒใƒ”ใƒณใ‚ฐใƒขใƒผใƒซ (shoppingumouru) so it is a loan word from English.

I've spent enough time trying to find the exact magical circle Rumiko referenced in Rin-ne. I think I am going to skip this one. It presumably is fairly close to its source, given that it has text on it. And yes, the text used English letters in the original Japanese as well.

Furinkan has these notes in regards to her name: "ๅง‰็ฅญใƒปใ‚ขใƒใƒƒใƒˆใƒป็žณAnnette's last name "Anematsuri" (ๅง‰็ฅญ) is written with the kanji for "older sister" and "festival". Hitomi (็žณ) means "pupil" (of an eye)."

It also points out that "Annette is being referred to as "ane" (ๅง‰). "Ane" means "older woman/lady". It is funny in this case because "ane" can also be short for "Annette"."

By the way, VIZ did not embellish the student's reactions. The kid said "ใ™ใฃใ’ใƒผๅทจไนณใ€‚" or "Awesome, huge breasts". The one calling her hot did refer to her as a ็พŽไบบ or "beautiful person" and often refers to hot women.

Maybe it is because depictions of video games are rare in Rumic manga, but this panel stuck with me. The sweat pants and what appears to be either a JRPG with school elements or just a random visual novel.

I do find it funny that the only characters in Rumic manga that I ever really see play video games are either actual children or more often, manchildren. Womanchildren more since we have Annette and Hinako Ninomiya. I guess Rumiko's a bit old-fashioned like that.

ๅˆๆ–นใƒžใƒŠใƒŸ is the name in Japanese. Furinkan states that it has the kanji for "naive" in it. Though it doesn't say which one is it. ๅˆๆ–น seems to mean beginner though and the furigana ใ†ใถใ‹ใŸ for it seems to mean "newborn".

Of course, this may be in reference to her being her first test.

Aw, that first panel. Also, Furinkan notes that: "Rinne addresses Annette simply as "Anematsuri" when he should politely call her "sensei" (ๅ…ˆ็”Ÿ/teacher). This, understandably upsets Annette."

This admittedly would not go over well in an American classroom either. She calls him ๆ‚ชใ„ๅญ by the way, which was translated directly.

I googled to see if there's a flower associated with the Sanzu river and they mentioned the ๅฝผๅฒธ่Šฑ (higanbana) which does mean "Flower of the Other Shore" and refers to Red Spider Lilies. You see these a lot since they are associated with death.

But these are clearly not those, since those are a very visually distinct flower.

I wanted to see if the sound effect over Kain's head made more sense in Japanese given we can see he isn't actually teary. But I can't really tell. It seems to be ใ˜~ใ‚“ which means "benevolence", which does make some sense.

Maybe "touched" would've been better.

Original title was ้ŸณใŒ่ฟฝใฃใฆใใ‚‹. Furinkan translated it as "The Chasing Sound" while Google gave me "The Sound that Follows", which is appropriately spooky. Haunting can mean following, so I think VIZ did good even if it is a bit less specific, it is very evocative. Plus, it might make more sense in context. We'll see.

Yeah, the original text referred to ใƒใƒชใƒ•ใ‚งใƒŽใƒผใƒซใ  (porifenouruda) and ใƒชใ‚ณใƒ”ใƒณ (rikopin). I'll be honest, I assume it is not a commonly known thing in Japan either and that's part of the joke, but I don't know.

End of chapter, end of volume. How lovely.

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 Saturday to dump Volume 22 of Rin-ne. In addition, thanks to the wonderful generosity of one of our readers, we have received a translated and typeset version of My Sky from the Rumic Theater series. Now, technically by publication date I was supposed to have already dumped it, so I will do that story this Saturday and Revenge Doll will have to wait until Wednesday. Thanks again for your work, translating is way harder than anything I've done for these storytimes, so I really appreciate this coming about as a result of these.

I honestly kinda find most of this stuff tedious. It's a different kind of tedious from Inuyasha's nonstop meandering but it's a far cry from the glory of Ranma.

Heh, I probably should've mentioned it but these penguin shaped shaved ice makers have shown up in Rumic series quite a bit. One was in UY and another showed up in Ranma 1/2. I never found a real one that puked ice like these do, but I did find one that had it come out of its chest that looked very similar.

Here's that bit from that article.

"I am afraid I have brought a page with quite a few spoilers. I'm sorry if there are people who haven't read it yet (I don't think there are any by now...). This is a page from Kyokai no RINNE volume 21, chapter 4. The man on the left is called "Nasuo" in the story. As you can probably guess, he is a character who appears only in this chapter. His appearance is naturally a key point in the story.

In the meeting stage of our planning, we talked about how we could keep this appearance hidden from the reader until the end of the story. It was almost the middle of summer, Obon was approaching, and I had hung my straw hat on a hanger at her house. Sensei saw the hat and came up with the idea of having "Eggplant Man" wear the hat, which led me to the idea of hiding his distinctive contours.

I've heard that director Hayao Miyazaki "creates works in a world within a radius of 3 meters", and I've come to realize that this is something he has in common with Takahashi-sensei. Perhaps all geniuses are like this...

This may be a bit of a meander, but the title of this chapter is "Eggplant Romance". The title is a reference to the bath salts in which the gravure idol "Fumin" (ask your father if you don't know the name) appeared in commercials for in the '90's. [20] The power of the title is amazing, and it left a very strong impression on me.

Kyokai no RINNE 3rd editor - Masato Itaya (ๆฟ่ฐท็œŸไบบ)
Takahashi: I liked "Eggplant Romance" quite a bit too. Not just on this chapter, but Itaya-san is very good at expanding the storylines which really helped me."

>The flume carries clear, ice-cold water. As the sลmen pass by, diners pluck them out with their chopsticks and dip them in tsuyu.
>Catching the noodles requires a fair amount of dexterity, but the noodles that are not caught by the time they get to the end usually are not eaten, so diners are pressured to catch as much as they can.
i don't need this kind of pressure leave me alone

Sharing bread or breaking bread symbolizes people becoming friends. It could be literally sharing a meal, cause that's how one used to build deeper connections in community, so it's actually kind of hard to say if they have really been a poorfag, or Annette can't read between the lines.

>>280867534
>>280867930
I half wonder if Rinne got greedy and let it run off hoping for a reward for recatching it... And I honestly have no idea why they assumed living spirit rather than dead dad. And I think it is the French grandmother. And yeah, poor mole, but at least he can rest in peace now.

>>280866846
>>280867747
Good info! Thanks. And I saw that it meant Rice Field, but I didn't realize until later in the story that there was any context for it. That makes sense and also gives another reason why Rinne assumed there would be rice.

the cover does not have any shininess to it, so i didn't see much point in taking a pic
scans of the cover you see online suffice i think
i specifically have volume 2 of the 2-volume version (which we'll call "version 2") which leads with fire tripper
apparently volume 1 of the older 3-volume version (which we'll call "version 1") leads with fire tripper

You have enough on that page to see the proportions between her standing up and the desk, the rest of the chapter has more clear angles for it. Also, Kain doesn't seem as taller compared to Rinne, still he's the taller of the whole cast

One thing I think is interesting about Mao compared to Rumiko's other series is that there's a relatively consistent sense of progression of time. The seasons change, the aftereffects of the earthquake linger for a decent while, Nanoka becomes a high schooler partway through... I mean, leaving the episodic comedies aside, I don't remember it ever even being winter in Inuyasha.

time does pass, but inuyasha does the classic shonen thing of a lot happening in a short period of time
kagome's adventure starts on her 15th birthday, her 16th birthday is never brought up
her birthday happens before summer vacation, and we only see her summer uniform with the short sleeves afterwards and never again
>I don't remember it ever even being winter in Inuyasha.
it happened actually, although it didn't snow
high school entrance exams are in january/february, and we do see kagome and her friends wearing scarves and coats when they were on their way to the venue
>there's a relatively consistent sense of progression of time.
yeah mao does have more time moving forward, we even get specific years when nanoka first sees a taisho era newspaper, and then the earthquake, there's even a wednesday's diary where rumiko mentions a specific year and why she couldn't draw mao in short sleeves lol she's keeping track this time

little suzu calls shukumaru a nickname, she calls him an-chan (ใ‚ใ‚“ใกใ‚ƒใ‚“)
i think it's 'an' as in 'ani' for older brother

suzuko calls shuhei ๅ‘จใใ‚“ shuu-kun
shuhei calls suzuko ใ™ใ†ใกใ‚ƒใ‚“ suu-chan

shukumaru is ๅฎฟไธธ which furinkan posted
shuhei is ๅ‘จๅนณ and to be more precise it has a long vowel, shuuhei
suzuko is ๆถผๅญ
suzu is just ใ™ใš

suzuko uses "time slip" (ใ‚ฟใ‚คใƒ ใ‚นใƒชใƒƒใƒ— taimu surippu) in the original too

and of course...
>I had an operation for apple-citis!
was
>ๅ‘จใใ‚“ใ‚‚ใƒผใกใ‚‡ใƒผใฎใ—ใ‚…ใ˜ใ‚…ใคใ—ใŸใ‚“ใ ใž๏ผ
it's this one ใ‚‚ใƒผใกใ‚‡ใƒผ
a word for appendicitis is ็›ฒ่…ธ mouchou
the word is the same, but i guess all hiragana + using the long vowel mark rather than writing it ใ‚‚ใ†ใกใ‚‡ใ† indicates something? dunno
suzuko doesn't correct him, instead she remarks that it's a big deal

just finished reading the supergal and i was trying to track down one of the images you posted, it's from
>shonen sunday graphic
and in the process of searching for that, i found that one of the other fire tripper illustrations you posted was also from shonen sunday graphic
furinkan elaborates a little more here
>https://www.furinkan.com/rumictheater/manga/about.html
>This is the companion book to the Firetripper OVA. The book, along with the other Shonen Sunday graphics are quite rare. It contains the entire Japanese script for the OVA, an ani-manga of Firetripper, sheet music for Presentiment, color Takahashi drawings from Firetripper, and a board game in which you navigate through the worlds of Firetripper, Urusei Yatsura and Maison Ikkoku.
i also found this nice scan of the fire tripper cover
>picrel
here's an ebay and mercari listing that shows some of what's inside
