The long-awaited SCANLATION
EDIT: I've updated the link; there's now multiple formats available. Please all thank Ainikki for her hard work. My buddy Ainikki went ahead and scanlated the whole manga and you can download it here:

I've been in the midst of a serious family crisis for close to a year now and it's going to continue to occupy me, but eventually I'll come back to my literal translation here on Tumblr. But rather than make y'all wait for that, here's the thing I promised back in April!
Oh and there's now a Moribito Discord server. https://discord.gg/h6rN9Bbw Come join us. ^_^ (if the link is expired message me and I'll send you a new one)
I HAVE A MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT. Ainikki, who is busily translating the remaining untranslated Moribito books, has also fully scanlated the Jin manga - y'know, the one this blog exists to share? The problem is I can't figure out how to post a PDF here so it'll probably just be a link to Google Drive or something. So look for that in the days to come. Imma still keep trucking along on my literal translation because... IDK, just cuz. But I'm also not gonna make y'all wait to read the whole thing til I finish in approximately 80 years.
“In the first place, Umutoran House and Yuguraku House have been competing for power since the country's founding, and the power map of the palace changes depending on which family the Crown Prince comes from. The Princess of Umutoran House is five years older than the Princess of Yugukaru House. By the time the Princess of Yuguraku House becomes queen consort, once the son of Prince Sagum and the Princess of Umutoran House has been born [obscured] and officially decided, the princess cannot be dealt with by the Yuguraku House guys from [obscured] who are connected to the emperor. While the [obscured] princess is a simple [obscured] vassal daughter, she does something. So the Master Star Reader was ordered to secretly protect the Lady of Umutoran House and monitor the movement of Yuguraku House. However, the incident happened at Umutoran House. It seems that the wife of Umutoran House pretended to be ill. If this had been [or, is the doing of] the wife of Yuguraku House, I'm convinced that there was something planned, but Yuguraku House doesn't seem to have changed at all... THEREFORE!”
[Suyo:] "Ah... no... That's...”
[Taiga:] “They say, Suyou... that there was a disturbing movement in Umutoran House... Do you know anything [about it]?”
[Suyo:] “Who are you asking?”
[Suyou:] “[very bad word]!” A bit more seriously... Come on-n!! [or else something about training]
[Taiga:] “Hey! [scolding] What are you doing at a person’s gate!“
[Suyou:] “Ah...”
[Taiga:] "You... What are you doing in such a place?”
"Damn it! Just like this, it seems I'm worried about this guy! Why do I have this [sudden concern] for such a weak guy!!” [He’s again using the rude version of ‘guy’.]
[Suyo:] This guy Taiga-chan, I guess he’s [out] practicing. [He’s using a derogatory form of ‘guy’.] How many years will it take to become a full-fledged Hunter in such a condition...
[Maid:] “Ah, Taiga-sama! Mayuna-sama is out today. She missed the princess of Yuguraku House [and went to see her].
[Taiga:] “I see...” (thinking) If [she’s gone to] Yuguraku House, there's no cause for worry. However, I'm curious... Father mentioned the disturbing movement of Umutoran House... What the hell is going on?
[Taiga:] Mayuna just went to Umutoran House with a message from Yuguraku House... It's not enough to say to Father.
"Did Mayuna go out?”
[Taiga:] (thinking) [Mayuna] also brought greetings to the Lady of Umutoran House. (aloud) “Um, Father...”
[Lord Amusuran:] “What?”
[Taiga:] “No.... it's fine.”
[Lord Amusuran:] “[I] may end up leaving the house [for] two or three days.”
[Taiga (thinking):] That’s why Father has been so busy in the last few days...
[Lord Amusuran:] “Well good. That's all for this story.”
[Taiga:] Umutoran House...? Isn't that the house that Mayuna went to [as a] messenger...
[Mon:] "Yun and Rai [will] continue to Yuguraku House. Jin-”
[Lord Amusuran:] “Yes.”
[Mon:] "There is [something] that I want [you] to find out...”
-Amusuran House-
[Mon:] "Funny... The Holy Sage said earlier that if there was something, it would be Yuguraku [involved].
[Lord Amusuran:] “Now that it's come to this, why don't you explore the inside of the Umutoran mansion?”
[Mon:] "Sun, keep an eye on the area around the mansion with Taga as before.”
[Sun:] “Yes.”
[Mon:] “Zen, you infiltrate the mansion. Find out what the family members are like.”
[Zen:] “Yes.”
--Chapter 5: Darkening--
[Mon:] "An incident in Umutoran House..."
[Sun:] “The Lady fell down. However, there was no reason for the medical doctor to be called. In other words, [she was] just pretending to be ill.”
[Lady Umutoran:] Why... Why this, in the hands of Yuguraku house? Why now...
