Kemoji 25 is confirmed for August but phanbus 8 is mostly likely in september unless theres a sudden break or anything.

for kemoji 25 its chapters 106 107 108 109 110 111 which is,,,six chapters....iirc some are short and kemoji usually has 5 chapters......

Cover is probably inari/nobimaru/some combination of the two + oina

better be PM Inari

phanbus 8 should be chapters 30 31 32 33

noir bunny suit wip

i'll have to redo it but the idea was that hes pointing his gun

[hoshikumas]

honestly I'm gonna listen to her too so for any future manga/extras stuff it's just gonna be text ok (I'm fairly confident my translations are above "j*maru" but since she said what she said...let's all support the official translation okay?) not sure how online she is but if she sees unofficially translated scans circulating....ack

[hoshikumas]

Haha recent neoshoco post please listen to her

as for kemoji it is definitely ending soon enough lol maybe it'll go for a bit in 2027. we are speedrunning nobimaru bpd rn. im glad we know for sure that he did appear before inari back then for the first time (and not like he was working in the shadows and kon never realized), but also why did it take him so long...

from the way he talks this feels like exactly when he found her in tokyo (as the superintendant) but i wonder if it could have been like he was keeping his distance for some time before finally joining the police? but again it couldn't have been that long.

i feel like this must mean that he wasn't in tokyo before? or else he'd known way sooner lol.

what im trying to deduce is that at ^^^^ point (or when inari supposedly was a Minamoto secretary) nobimaru was not in tokyo and still somewhere unknown? I doubt he could've met inugami before inari either, but as per usual aimoto can rewrite it all next chapter.

Also, he knew about the kemono jihen which he couldve learned about back in the villlage from haru or during his travels but i wonder if he did know the stones could fuse?

hence his question

i doubt he'd be able to survive the rampaging oni arm but imagine the happy end where everyone calls nobimaru by his real name lol

'Nobimaru isn't my friend, but [Nobimaru's real name] is'.

mayo what the fuck did you want this shit for

Wonder if this ^^^ is what he did to marukuma bros too (showing illusion? or did he just show off the scary arm? it should have been smaller back then so probably it were easier to (physically) fight with)

Still it took him that long to find Inari...and he really had 0 growth/development during these ~10 years. if inari could she would've aborted.

(yet she didnt oppose to haru not killing him and letting him live)

I wonder if we'll somehow get to see her side of things or if she's forever sealed atp and that's it.

this part also pissed me off, as if kabane didn't get a glimpse of inaris mind 2 chapters ago? You could have phrased it in a way that wouldn't be so annoying.

like cmon this was her response....do you really think that there's a possibility she didn't really abandon her son. why are you implying we need to ask her about it. i hope her answer is 'what since when did i have a son'.

[hoshikumas]

wonder if the next chpater starts some serious arc or just another slice of life...i mean yeah these are fun but also this is a monthly manga so from the point of view of an average regular reader and the manga itself passing the 30 chapters mark, the whole volume 8 possibly consisting of ghost of the month stuff...hurry up hurry up a little please. yeah vol7 was intense but i want the plot to move forward a little more.

Cover could be hitsugi but also I can see the other paranormal activity group + kitaroh taking the spotlight lol or be in bg? like mogari + all these randos.

if either botan or kaku appear next chap and start a new arc the cover could go to either of them. but makes sense to save botan for whatever volume that will be focusing on him instead.

Kemoji 111 impressions&translation

Translation doc

It was 2nd in the toc so that means one of the previous chapters was very well received! And nobimaru indeed appeared on every page.

And as I suspected Nobimaru had shown these almost yandere like tendencies obsessing over his mother lol. I guess everyone knows he's her son now, if they haven't realized it already, because he just proclaimed that his mother belongs to him only.

Overall how the ideal world works:

Kabane and Nobimaru consciousnesses are intertwined, so while Kabane is treated as an equal by his family in this world, Inari is obsessing over Nobimaru outright saying she doesn't need anyone but him, showing off his cram school achievements and also not having any friends at all. After all, Kabane still couldn't completely be free from his past...and Nobimaru has shown this side he never intended anyone to see.

The ideal world changes according to their thoughts, so they end up in school, having a picnic and going to a faraway place.

Nobimaru's past is pretty painful...I suspected that he was away from Inari all this time and that he changed his appearance because he failed or something. In reality, I don't think it even mattered... He did what his mother asked him to do, I guess him not being able to massacre everyone due to his lack of power is a failure, but also to me it seems like Inari was planning to just use him and throw him away as soon as possible regardless if he were able to successfully kill the Ishimori or not. He was an unwanted child after all.

And there's finally the confirmation that Nobimaru has a real name no one but Inari knows (and Haru? Or not even mentioned bc they're dead??).

Nobimarus revenge is to make Inari utter his real name, but Inari never ever remembered him haha.

Even though he wanted to be recognized, he still made his hair a different color so...he was afraid to ask questions and learn the truth (I think he knows the answer though). I'm cracking that he made himself blonde after seeing Inari take blonde Kon with her.

Now that we know he did meet kon back then and was slightly annoyed with her and very infuriated with Kabane wanting to find his parents, it's time to reread all their interactions. Even though he met Kon before, he had to create a new personality and meet her again (and Inari) and Kon didn't even remember...I wonder if next chapter she suddenly remembers there was another Kyoto messenger before Inari.

He lived with Ishimori for a few years. Did he really learn nothing from living with others including Haru? I wonder why the current Nobimaru was so sure that if he were to meet Kabane in some fantasy alternate reality where they would be the same age, he would have become a different person? Like Haru and Ishimori weren't enough huh. I bet he wouldn't have changed even if he could have met someone like Kabane earlier. I get what he's saying, Kabane's great and people who get involved with him change and have their problems resolved but feels like Nobimaru just wanted to run away.

So Nobimaru decides to make Inari dreams into reality and then snatch them away, until he, the unwanted child from back then, is the only thing she's left with.

Theres a talk where we see just how fucked Nobimaru is mentally but I'm too lazy to retell it haha. 20+ years of possessive obsession about mommy who maybe visited him twice and hugged him once.

Oh, the stage adaptation is confirmed to be up to Yui appearance and next month is a break. Aimoto mentioned working hard on color pages, and there should be at least 3 confirmed, one for the vol release, one in September for the stage adapatation and one in December for the anniversary.

Vol25 should be set for August (hopefully)
