SPOILERS!!

Yato found Yukine at the mailbox in the beginning of the series. We know why now...

Yukine waited there because his letters never got sent to his sister. His father took them from him and buried him in his torn up letters.

Update 10/09/2021

So you may have noticed I’ve been gone. It was an unexpected hiatus, and sometimes it happens. I don’t think I will go back to a full schedule...but I might keep up with 1 or 2 series for now. My hope is to simply become consistant for now and get back into the routine. 

Thanks for your patronage,

My plans for the blog this year...

Alright, so I know I have been a bit inconsistant with my translations the past year. I have two children (one with special needs) and COVID lockdowns have taken a toll on my free time. My hope is to get back to a normal translation schedule this year. I’m also on the lookout for a new series to potentially translate, because I like switching things up when possible. 

I really do appreciate everyone being understanding and I hope I can continue making people happy with my translations. Thank you!

Real Life Again

You might have noticed that I haven’t finished my translations for this month. That’s because I’ve been dealing with a lot this month (it has to do with my kids and the holidays). I’m going to try to get a couple of more previews out soon. After that I’m probably done until after the New Year. This is not a hiatus. 

Thanks to everyone this year who have been patient and amazing. I appreciate it and I hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday season this year.
