xxxHOLiC 162 spoiler translation

Just got back from one of the largest fireworks displays in the world (thanks, Church of Pure Liberty!) and apparently tomorrow morning I'm going to a tea-tasting. Let's get to it.

Awkward Mt. Fuji sunburn is peeling. That'll look great tomorrow. Oh well.

Clover translation [part 1]

I originally translated this manga for my sister back in November. With the re-release of the nice pretty new editions, I figured I'd go back through my old script and post it here in case anyone else was interested in it. I was much less skillful at the translating back then...only 10 months ago; there was a lot I tinkered with.

I suppose I should mention that I've never even seen the English release of Clover, let alone read it, so for anyone who has some of my choices may seem idiosyncratic. Though I'd love to know what the antagonist's name is in the English version...and I'll be interested to page through Dark Horse's version next year.

The cuts conform to the old four-volume editions.

Follow the fake cut, down the rabbit-hole.
