It's funny that there are so many stories about gods talking in the mountains. I get why though. If you ever stayed at a wooden place, high up the mountain you know what sound that could be.

😳 ...sooo they are addicts right? That is how addiction works right?

That felt like a horror story. So so creepy. I would not like to see that adapted to a movie. Although for horror fans I wish they would!

Jup. The official translation is a lot more straightforward. But I do adore the scanlation more at some points.

That was a tragic story but absolutely fascinating. I did look up a scanlation because I was curious how a fan (and I assume amateur) would translate some of the parts. The official one uses more words (logical) but the scanlation actually has a more lyrical side to it.

Fascinating.

Aahhh although the translation is very good (I think) this is where I wish I could read it in the original Japanese because of the Kanji used. Could you then read how the Kanji for pillow is now and what it used to mean? Or are they the same character?

This is very interesting! I can already tell I want to re-read it in the future.

Have to finish this before the next one will be sent. I actually do not know what it was about or why it interested me.
