[scanlation] England and the ghost folklore of Japan

It's... England and Japan... and I don't know how to translate Kanazawa-ben to English. OTL


After forming the Anglo-Japanese alliance,
To deepen our friendship,
England-san stays over at my house.



A tengu's seat and England




England at the onsen




"Kappa's Miracle Cure"
This legendary medicine is said to cure anything.



Kappa and England










The ghost folklore in Japan

In this century, the belief in ghosts in Japan seems to have almost eradicated.

In Yamaguchi,

"A princess, who earned the misfortune of death at the peak of her happiness
a long time ago, turns into a shooting star and returns to her hometown."


In relation to this legend, people go to the "Shooting Star Contest" to compete in making the most genuine shooting stars.
In the contest just now, before them for everyone to see,
a genuine shooting star occurred in the sky and everyone got their video cameras...

Surprisingly, the people here and there weren't that excited about it.

I agree. It brought a tear to the eye, to see the vanishing of all those beliefs. T_T

My english ex-boyfriend was exactly as England-san, but the more i read of him, the more i'm sure about this. Damn it xD

[identity profile] kitschisch.livejournal.com 2008-10-03 09:34 am (UTC)(link)
This is too cute! Thanks for translating. :D

[identity profile] gomimushi.livejournal.com 2008-10-03 09:41 am (UTC)(link)
XD Whoaaa. England-san can see all the ghosts!!! That's so cute! *O* Poor kappa... no one sees him anymore. :(

Thank you for translating. *w* such a cute pair, these two!!

[identity profile] lemiru.livejournal.com 2008-10-03 10:34 am (UTC)(link)
Aw, now that's just adorable! I really like how England can not only see those critters, but they like him, too.

Thanks for the translation!

Hahaha, England is SO cute. Does that mean he can see not only his own, but any country's mythical beings wherever he goes?

Good thing Japan's too polite to call him a nutcase. :-)

[identity profile] kazahayakudou.livejournal.com 2008-10-03 12:26 pm (UTC)(link)
But I live by myself...
Oh Japan! XD He's too polite for his own good! XD And OMG UK! Could you stop being so cute? It's addicting! I loved this story, it's really cute and makes you think about how UK acts in his own house (just imagine how many creatures would be there and UK talking to apparently nothing *laughs* And unicorns! XD)
But it was a little heart breaking to see this, the way people forget their traditions...

Thanks so much for the scanlation! This one was really interesting, focusing on culture rather than history. I love me some Japan.

Kappa/England OTP! Yes, Kappa tops.

Just a cucumber seed? ...I know he is not a very good cook but...

[identity profile] kat8cha.livejournal.com 2008-10-03 06:36 pm (UTC)(link)
XD Oh Japan. He must think England is NUTS.

[identity profile] sonteen12.livejournal.com 2008-10-03 06:45 pm (UTC)(link)
thank you so much!!

Awww poor Kappa, hope you get to take baths with England-kun again soon. ^^

"Maybe coming over to visit is taboo in his culture..."

Cuuuuteness~ Awwww, England x3

[identity profile] manicrabbit.livejournal.com 2008-10-04 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
awe...poor Kappa-san...

(/dork: Kappa are my favorite =w=; )

Hmm....isn't a cucumber seed symbolic to moist soil and much harvest? I don't remember at all...

[identity profile] suzaku18.livejournal.com 2008-10-04 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
Aww England~ So he can see spirits, eh?

And the Kappa reminds me of a character in Final Fantasy 6. o.0
