Inside me are two wolves and one of them says "you took Japanese in high school, you should keep that up and take this spin-off novel as a challenge to push you to pick it back up" and the other says "that's going to take FOREVER to get good enough with to actually be able to read the bitch just put it through a translator" and then the first side says "but auto-translators are hit-or-miss with accuracy, or did you want another visit of sir Drug Dealer with his magical Marijuana Sword?" and then the second side says "it'll be close enough! Probably! And you need more than hiragana to read this, you just do!"

Conclusion: send help please

#mononoke anime #i can read kusuriuri! that's gotta be enough!#(it is absolutely nowhere close to enough)#i tried putting it through ichigo translator but it was leaving large swathes of the page untranslated which is...less than helpful #anyway if any of yall are fluent enough in japanese to get a fan translation in the works faster than i can speedrun duolingo #i will literally pay you to help a starving desperate bitch out #and it doesnt help that im like #'oh ive been getting better at reading mandarin hanzi and there does seem to be a lot of overlap should be a breeze'#but the overlap isn't 100% so i cant trust that just because i recognize a character i can actually figure out the meaning #and it doesnt matter anyway because im only recognizing like 1 or 2 kanji per line
