Heyy...at page 08, didn't Ginsei said "If...that little girl's wish is not granted...you will not be able to go back."

Pardon me, but can you please check?

[starlady38.livejournal.com]

Hey! No problem.

I did look at it again (and this was the challenge line of the chapter), and upon consideration I'm going to change it to "If/you do not grant that girl's wish/you won't be able to go back again." This is a comparatively unusual subordinate sense of もう as "again," imo, since as you pointed out, it doesn't really make sense as "already."

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, commonly it's you cannot go back anymore.

(And by common, I mean very common "You cannot go back~you cannot go back~tra-la-la-la~you cannot go back~")

*cough* Thanks a lot for taking the trouble to go over it again.

Thank you so much!!!!

Thank you very much for the translation!

Now I want to know about those human shadows. Who can they be really?

[starlady38.livejournal.com]

chibiyuuto and others (including myself) think that the shadows are the angels' true (i.e. non-plushie) forms.

[tiljaunique.livejournal.com]

Yes, that's what I thought. I was wondering more if anyone has any inkling as to how they look like. Do they resemble any known character by those shadows? Can anyone tell?

[starlady38.livejournal.com]

I've never finished Wish, so I couldn't say--but if there are any resemblances, I think it would have to be to Wish characters, since there's been some crossover, and one of the angel characters in that manga got name-checked a few drops ago.

[tiljaunique.livejournal.com]

I read all of Whish but I can't recognize any character in those shadows. None of them had those kind of clothes for one, not even the demons, so I can't see any resemblance with any character in there. That's why I ask if anyone sees anything.

What I find most odd is Fujimoto's response to the whole scene, hmmm. Maybe he's avoiding Kobato because he knows her feelings?

[starlady38.livejournal.com]

I think he just has ANGST in general.
