always glad to corrupt more people! turns out i have scanslations of the first two volumes, so here you go:

the third ( and last, alas ) volume is my favourite, though. sukekiyo gets a little more page-time, too. ^_^

THANKYOUTHANKYOU for uploading the scanlations! *______*

I read the first chapter (the interview)- loved the set-up, the crack, and very inspired of the scanlators to have Minagawa's dialogue in Celtic font.

Shall savour the rest at leisure ^_^

you're very very welcome! ( to be fair, minagawa's dialogue was originally in a stylish, curly japanese font anyway. :D )

am glad that you're enjoying it? ^_^

(wonder if there's a specific japanese writing style associated with things occult, like the supernatural is associated with the Irish/Eastern European traditions?)

I enjoyed both volumes (land of crack and sakura indeed! especially the chibi side-stories) immensely, thank you again ^_^

And I would so buy a sukekiyo plushie, if there were indeed such an entity XD

( maybe a flatter style that's reminiscent of the earlier forms of writing? like on the fuda in yami no matsuei, iirc. or something. )

no problem. :D in the original japanese volumes ( as well as the chinese translations ) the dialogue in the chibi side-stories is bilingual, with the engrish bits contributing to the absurdity. minagawa's last line in the summer one, for example, is the far more cryptic: "it is how to have a mind."

given that there's a punyan plushie, i'm surprised at the lack of a sukekiyo one. they do have a terrifying sukekiyo oven mitt, though: http://www.animate.co.jp/animate/goods2.asp?wid=000000000030&pg=5
