Hi there! 👋I translate the Ikemen series, mostly Ikemen Sengoku. I usually translate only the events I’m interested in, and I can’t share stories that I don’t have. If I only have part of a story, I might not post a translation.
⚠️ Heads-up: Please be respectful in the comments! Rude or hurtful comments may get you blocked. Also, my translations might not always be perfect—thanks for understanding.
Translation requests: You’re welcome to request, but I might not be able to translate everything. For now, I’m focusing on Ikemen Sengoku, and I’ll post the stories I have, one by one.
Notice Regarding the Use of My Posts: I do not mind if you reblog my posts. However, please do not repost, copy, or use my translations without credit. A great deal of time, effort, and money goes into creating these translations. If you would like to use any of my work, please provide proper credit, ask for my permission beforehand, and let me know where and how you intend to use it. In addition, using my translations or posts to insult, mock, or disparage any character is strictly prohibited. Failure to follow these rules may result in being blocked or reported.
*Schedule: Starting in March, I may not be able to post as often due to my studies. That doesn’t mean I’ll stop posting entirely. I might be much slower than before, but if you’re willing to wait, I’ll continue to share lots of good translations!If a new story for Matsunaga Hisahide or the spring sequel for Ishida Mitsunari is released, I’ll most likely translate those as well. I’ll try to post as much as I can before March :)
I started doing this because I’ve always appreciated the people who translate the stories I want to read. Now I’m happy to share what I have too!

Some comments from me
Ranmaru being there kills my heart 😭😭😭
And we got Kicho cleaning the glass while ignoring what is going behind him
Look, I know that Motonari and Nobunaga working with each other is pretty good but damn, their mapping skills are also good. I can see the hills, maybe a river and they are strategically placing their troops where it will give them the advantage of the battle.
And why did Kennyo get assigned as a librarian? (MITSUHIDE YOU BETTER HELP KENNYO AFTER YOU’RE DONE READING!) And we got our beloved angel smiling ☺️
William's and Liam's sequals are available in JP ver. of the game! There you can meet three absolutely new characters. Need help with walkthoughs? Please, check my blog. ♡
Ikemen Villains ☆ William Rex ☆ Sequel [JP ver. completed];
spoilers for kanbei's route (but surprise it's all about hisahide)
Chapters 17-19 or so of Kanbei's route are so funny because the game is constantly interrupting sweet moments between Kanbei and Mai to cut to Hisahide being a scheming sinister asshole. We get a kiss and a confession and a smut scene between the happy couple and every time the game goes "Meanwhile, here is Hisahide being Evil"
A selection of quotes about & by my favorite power-hungry control freak. What a fascinating character. I need to crack open his brain and find out why he is the way he is.
Kanbei: Hisahide is the kind of person who detests being subordinate to anyone else.
Hisahide: Ever since he [Kanbei] got involved with Mai, he's become untrustworthy.

A shadow carrying the moonlit night on its back gracefully leapt from the rooftop.
Twisting through the air as if dancing, the white blade in his hand caught the moonlight.
The hamon, curved like a crescent moon, gleamed—
With a sharp, piercing sound, the sword was knocked from the man's hand.
Man: —Huh.
The surroundings fell completely silent, and the man collapsed weakly to the ground.
As the crowd watched from a distance, Hisahide alone glided forward and knelt before Yoshiteru.
Hisahide: I have been waiting for you.
Hisahide: The thirteenth shogun of the Muromachi shogunate———Ashikaga Yoshiteru-sama.
Villager 1: Yoshiteru-sama, you say...?
Only the night air flowed quietly, and not a single person even made a sound as they breathed.
Amid the silence, Yoshiteru slowly lifted his face.
Yoshiteru: —Even after I departed, the world continued to be thrown into chaos.
Yoshiteru: There must have been days when you were overwhelmed by despair, believing that an era of peace would never come.
Yoshiteru: Even so, there were those who never let go of their humanity and continued to pray with all their hearts.
Yoshiteru: Then I shall grant it. I shall show it. To those who reside in the capital of Kyoto, I shall bring eternal peace.
Yoshiteru: —Because you wished for it, I have returned once more to this chaotic world.
In the silence that returned once again, someone clasped their hands together and let out a voice filled with sobs.
At that moment, an overwhelming cheer erupted, surging through the capital like thunder.
—The capital of Kyoto was overflowing with vitality.
The malice that threatened the people and the vile hierarchies were eliminated, and a long-awaited peace was brought to those who had been oppressed.
Villager 1: Hey, did you see His appearance that night? Yoshiteru-sama truly is a miraculous being, the savior of Hinomoto!
Villager 2: What's more, I heard that the very men who were branded as rebels were personally chosen by that very person.
Villager 3: He truly possesses a discerning eye. Under the shogun's command, he has brought us a prosperous life and a peaceful order.
Villager 1: Hey... that wall looks just like the boundary line between this world and the next.
Villager 1: This is the most peaceful place in Hinomoto. You could even call it a paradise.
Villager 2: Yes, that's right. Surely, it is.
Villager 3: With Yoshiteru-sama's divine protection, all the people can escape from every hardship and become happy.
Villager 1: Whoa!?
Saizo: Ah... I-I’m sorry...
Villager 1: No, it's fine, but... your complexion looks terrible. Are you alright?
Saizo: Ah, please... don't worry about me.
Villager 2: He left already. Who was that?
Villager 1: Who knows...
Hisahide: ...Now then. May I hear your answer soon?
Rikyu: Hah, you called me here, and I wondered what it was about... but it's that? A little late for that, isn't it?
Kanbei: At this point, it doesn't seem like the paths we are taking will diverge. So I will lend you my strength.
Hisahide: I see. Then there's only one person left.
Yoshiteru: ...How long are you going to keep hiding? Your role as the rear guard is already over.
With a loud clunk, the floorboard came loose.
When Saizo appeared, a heavy shadow fell across his face.
Saizo: ...Have you heard of this rumor? They say there is a monster that dwells in the night mist on the battlefield.
Saizo: Once you encounter it, it's over. You can never return alive. That is... me.
Saizo: Sometimes, I am even called the "Monster of the Battlefield"...
Yoshiteru: A monster? The one standing there is Saizo.
Saizo: .......
Hisahide: That's right. Saizo, who carried out his duty as the rear guard admirably.
Rikyu: The Saizo who spends the whole time trembling in fear like a little puppy.
Kanbei: Our Saizo, who is honest, earnest, and adorable.
Yoshiteru: Welcome back.
Saizo: .......
Saizo: ...I-I’m home... I’ve returned.
When Saizo bowed his head, Yoshiteru nodded...
Yoshiteru: Everyone is here. Let us begin.
Saizo: Huh?
Yoshiteru: I haven't had tea today yet.
Rikyu: What a sudden request. Yes, yes, wait a moment.
Saizo: Yoshiteru-sama, you really do love tea, don't you?
Yoshiteru: Yoshiteru is fine.
Yoshiteru: Commoners who are friends with each other call one another by their names. There is no need for such formal speech either. I will make a special exception and allow it in this place.
Saizo: Eek………… calling you by your name without honorifics!?
Yoshiteru: I said it's fine.
Rikyu: Well, that's quite something. You don't often get the chance to casually call the shogun by his name.
Rikyu: To even call the act of trying to poison you "a playful jest"... you truly possess the vast heart of one worthy of ruling Hinomoto.
Hisahide: I’ll accept your feelings, at least for trying to create a “moving” shogun through the proof of my immortality.
Hisahide: Though I did find it a little distasteful. Perhaps something a bit more mysterious would have been better.
Kanbei: If you desired a more mysterious presentation, then why didn't you use a "wormhole" in this plan?
Kanbei: You were able to create what seemed like a splendid opening at first glance...
Kanbei: For a shogun who possesses the power of miracles, I feel there were many parts that were rather cunning and modest.
Yoshiteru: ...Because miracles are sometimes imperfect.
Yoshiteru: Eternity, peace, and people are the same. They are all alike.

Saizo's shoulders gave a slight jolt, but Kanbei paid him no mind and ruffled his hair.
Kanbei: My role is to secretly gather soldiers for the Ashikaga Army's forces and have them lie in wait throughout the provinces surrounding the capital.
Kanbei: And as a strategist, it's my job to move the pieces.
Kanbei: Now then, can you tell me how I should make use of Saizo?
Saizo: Heh.
Kanbei: What are you capable of? And why were you recruited?
Kanbei: The fact that you're a shinobi from Kirigakure Village alone proves you possess considerable skill.
Kanbei: And on top of that, the fact that you managed to leave your village and now stand here as a free man means...
Saizo: ...! U-ugh... th-th-th-that's...
Kanbei: Does that mean you're exceptionally talented at hiding?
Kanbei: Why don't you spar with me as a test? It might help us get to know each other better.
Saizo: H-Hide-and-seek...!?
Kanbei: Now, what should the punishment be if you're caught?
Saizo: Eek...! Even though it's just a friendly game to help us get to know each other, there's a punishment!?
Saizo shrank back like a cornered puppy.
Looking somewhat satisfied, Kanbei finally released Saizo's hair, which had become a complete bird's nest.
Saizo: I-I don't know why someone like me was recruited.
Kanbei: And you're here without even knowing why?
Saizo: I just... thought that if a land of peace could be built, maybe I wouldn't have to fight anymore.
Saizo: Or perhaps... somewhere along the way to building it...
Saizo trailed off and looked up at Kanbei.
Saizo: ...Kanbei, um... why...
Kanbei: Because they survived those four years, and their ambition had not been crushed.
Kanbei: For now, that's all. The real value will be found from here on.
Kanbei: ...Even so, "equals," huh? That's an interesting way to put it.
Kanbei: Even if it was nothing more than a whim from a few years ago, a promise is still a promise.
Saizo: ...A promise...
Kanbei: Hmm? Would you like me to make a promise with you too, Saizo?
Saizo: Huh!? N-no... someone like me doesn't deserve something like that...
Saizo: I'm not someone who deserves something like that. ...You don't have to treat me like a person.
Yoshiteru: It's been a while, you two.
Freed from the officials, Rikyu and Kanbei were greeted by Yoshiteru, who emerged from the darkness of the night.
Rikyu frowned at Yoshiteru's dazzling white attire, which seemed to glow in the darkness.
Rikyu: ...You really went and gave us away, didn't you?
Kanbei: Reporting Rikyu and me and having us arrested for treason against the shogun... that was quite a rough way of doing things.
Yoshiteru: This was the quickest way for us to regroup. Besides... it makes it easier to lure them out.
Kanbei: Heh, that's quite a luxurious decoy.
Saizo: A-are you two really arguing at a time like this...?
Hisahide: Don't worry, Saizo. I'm sure they both understand why they were used as decoys.
Hisahide: ...On the day Honnoji was consumed by towering flames, the former shogun, Ashikaga Yoshiteru, was reborn.
Hisahide: A miracle like that is far too tame.
Kanbei: A miracle is only a miracle when many people witness it.
Yoshiteru: That miracle will be brought to all the people who seek eternal peace.
Yoshiteru: Our destination is... the capital city of Kyoto.
Saizo: —Then I'll cover the rear. The guards from earlier are approaching.
Yoshiteru: They won't come.
Saizo: I-I’m not someone suited for the spotlight... I’ll stay here.
Trusting Saizo, who had rushed ahead alone, the group marched on toward the capital.
Villager 1: Hey, what on earth is happening!?
Villager 2: I-I have no idea! Are they fighting among themselves...!?
The sudden fierce battle that erupted within the capital shattered even the stillness of the night.
The people could not hide their confusion at the bizarre sight of the Ashikaga Army led by Kanbei clashing with the Ashikaga Army that had sided with the samurai man.
The commotion spread like ripples, eventually rousing even the man who had been hiding away in his lair.
Man: Hey, what on earth is all this commotion about!?Man: I am the one who governs this capital under the orders of the shogun, Ashikaga Yoshiteru-sama. If you oppose me, I will show no mercy!
Hisahide: —Governs.
Hisahide stepped forward alone from among the crowd.
Hisahide: Wasn't the order Yoshiteru-sama gave you to "bring peace to the people"?
Hisahide: I don't believe that has been accomplished in the slightest. Wouldn't that itself be considered rebellion?
Man: Hah. Then bring the real one here.
Villager 3: Eek...!
The man dragged out a nearby villager and held a sword to their neck.
Man: Come on, hurry up. Otherwise, that precious citizen's so-called peace will be taken away, won't it?
Man: Though, I doubt a miracle would happen for such a worthless little life.
Hisahide: ...Are you saying Yoshiteru-sama's resurrection is nothing but a fabrication?
Man: Of course. You are nothing but a ridiculous bunch of fools who were fooled by that story.
