Suzaku Ibun: Seiryuu Summoning Arc - The Kutou War, Pt. 4 (Or, "Nakago and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day")

Hey gang, sorry for the two-week hiatus! The holidays are a mad time, and I was churning out a bunch of series/year-end posts over at The Josei Next Door, so translating kinda got put on the backburner. But I had a long weekend thanks to New Year's, and it's given me the time I needed to give you a Super-Mega-Giant portion of Ibun to make up for lost time! So get comfy and hit that jump to see how this crazy war turns out.

Suzaku Ibun: Seiryuu Summoning Arc - The Kutou War, Pt. 3 (Or, "Thunder, Thunder... Thunderspat!")

Ahoy and welcome back to another week of War of the Warriors! Seiryuu guest appearances abound yet again, as a surprise visitor comes calling - and with an even more surprising request, to boot. Hit that jump to see what happens to our plucky young priestess next!

Suzaku Ibun: Seiryuu Summoning Arc - The Kutou War, Pt. 2 (Or, "How to Train Your Priestess")

Ni-hao, and I hope you didn't think I was gonna skip this week! It's coming out a little later than usual on this chilly Sunday night, but here it is: Some polite conversation before the battle breaks. Because just because it's war doesn't mean we can't be civilized about it.

Nakago, Misaki, and some shocking reveals await below the jump!

Suzaku Ibun: Seiryuu Summoning Arc - The Kutou War, Pt. 1 (Or, "A Good Miko Goes to War")

Ni-hao, gang!

I'm on holiday this weekend but I managed to get this queued up before I left, and it's a longer piece as promised. Onwards, noble readers! To battle!

Suzaku Ibun: Seiryuu Summoning Arc, Prewar Professions (Tasuki Edition)

Ni-hao, minna-san! And I've returned with the Tasuki Nighttime Rendezvous, as promised! So hit that jump to have a little more love before we go off to make war next week.

Suzaku Ibun: Seiryuu Summoning Arc, Prewar Professions (Chichiri Edition)

I live!

Ni-hao and howdy, dear readers! In my last post I warned you that I might have to disappear for a couple months, and I was rather true to be my word, there. But I'm back now and ready to throw us into the Great Seishi War. But no war can begin without a heartfelt confession from your loved one, so let's start with that!

I have the "nighttime visit" for both Chichiri and Tasuki, but I'm still trying to work Ibun translatons back into my weekly schedule, so we're going to start up with a small piece this time and just handle the Chichiri scene. I'll do Tasuki next week (that's what she said!) and then hopefully be able to provide a good-sized chunk of Epic Battle Action after that.

Hit the jump for some general sweetness, and also a make-out session. Aww yeah.

Suzaku Ibun: Seiryuu Summoning Arc - The Konan Palace (Or, "O Koutei My Koutei")

Hey gang! I got some “Ibun” for ya. But first, an explanation: We’re entering Part 3 now, which has two versions: The “Suzaku Summoning Arc” and the “Seiryuu Summoning Arc.” You go to the Suzaku Arc if you return to the palace with the Shinzaho; you go to the Seiryuu Arc if you lost the two Shinzaho.

Now I have only actually played through the Seiryuu Arc, so that’s what you’ll be getting for the next several posts. At some point I’d like to go back and play the Suzaku Arc, but my focus right now is on getting a complete arc posted, so we’ll just focus on Seiryuu for now.

A second point to mention: I’m working on a second, time-sensitive translation project, so while I will do my best to continue to deliver “Ibun” snippets to y’all, don’t be surprised if Sunday rolls around and there’s no update. I don’t have a ton of free time, so “Ibun” may end up having to go on the backburner for the next month or so. I haven’t deserted it, though, I promise!

And to prove to you that I’m still steadfast in my resolve, here’s the nice, long (and total PIA to translate): Seiryuu Summoning Arc, Part 3, Chapter 1, in its entirety! Enjoy!
