Supernatural
The time is the 7th century, in a corner of Central Asia... Deep underground in a mountain named Flame, there are secret waterways that stretch in all directions. When Sun Wukong sneaks in to rescue a kidnapped child, he is confronted by a giant shadow of a monster that the kidnappers call "that person". On its head... is a horn! Will Sun Wukong's golden club be able to defeat it?! India is still far away, on the other side of the Silk Road. Awaiting on the scorching hot mountain are a great mystery, the darkness of the royal palace, and... the strongest enemy! The heretical and monumental Journey to the West manga, which depicts Sun Wukong as "a human boy fighting to change his cursed fate", the most intense chapter begins. Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie in "Journey to the West: The Monkey Legend" are not animal monsters, but humans who lived in the Tang Dynasty. This is a great adventure travelogue that intricately intertwines historical fact and fantasy with the story of "Journey to the West" as its motif! \*This work is a new chapter that continues from "Journey to the West: The Legend of the Monkey Kings - Western Regions," volumes 1 to 6 of which are currently on sale.

Ghosts
Wednesday, September 7, 2011 The Way Home \[Yuu Vol. 10] So this is a oneshot from volume 10 of a horror magazine (or "ghostly magazine" as they call it) called Yuu (幽), website here. It contains short stories by various authors (some of which I'm working on translations of to post here), articles about things that are paranormal in some way (in this issue there was an article about the internet trend called ひとりかくれんぼ (or "one man hide and seek" as it's known in the west I think) and a collection of interviews about the dark side of maid cosplay, haha), photographs, "true" stories, and there's an annual literary prize, so in this issue there was a section written by people involved with the judging process with commentary about the entries and what makes a good horror story. There's also a manga section. This issue had four 6-page stories and a 12-page story each by a different mangaka. The one that I chose to translate for today is kind of similar to Fuan no Tane in that it has that urban legend, real-ish feel to it, though slightly longer and with more dialog. Description: Two brothers encounter something strange on their way home from the train station.
