Shonen Onmyoji Chapter 11 Summary

The chapter began with Masahiro having a dream that Seimei left his five year old self at Kifune Shrine [1]. When Masahiro woke up he noticed Mokkun sleeping on his lap and bonked him on the head.

Masahiro's parents, Yoshimasa and Tsuyuki came into the room to check on him. Tsuyuki can't see Mokkun and the other Twelve Divine Generals though. Mokkun complained to Yoshimasa about Masahiro being unreasonable.

Masahiro went to another subject on how his 'taunki' grandpa tied him to a tree and left him by himself at Kifune. Mokkun was aware of this incident because he was the one watching Masahiro in secret his in humanoid form.

Seimei entered the room and greeted his son, daughter-in-law and grandson. Masahiro told everyone he was leaving. Yoshimasa asked his son where he was going as today was his abstinence [2]. Seimei wondered dramatically how Masahiro could have forgotten that. Masahiro got annoyed and walked out of the room. Seimei's son and daughter-in-law were side eyeing him and Seimei told them that Masahiro was not good at thinking and that he used to be that way too.

The next day Masahiro was undergoning soms onmyoji training and was greeted by the Minister of the Left, Fujiwara no Yukinari. Yukinari went to check up on Masahiro to see how he was doing and Mokkun took advantage of the situation that Yukinari couldn't see him by standing on his shoulder and patting his head.

Yukinari asked Masahiro if Seimei was there as he was thinking of holding a requiem ceremony before reconstruction begin, but Masahiro told Yukinari that his grandfather was not there at the moment.

After Yukinari left Masahiro. Masahiro is put off by what Mokkun did to Yukinari because he couldn't see him. Meanwhile Masahiro overheard some men talking about a oni woman hammering nails every night.

When Masahiro revealed himself they recognized him as Seimei's grandson, which annoyed him, but told them that everything will be fine. He then talked to Mokkun and said that he was going to prepare to head to Kifune Shrine.

Seiryu [3] the Wood General was watching Masahiro and Mokkun and when Masahiro noticed him Mokkun told him to let him be because Seiryu hate hims and he also hates Seiryu

The scene shift where Keiko is talking to the Chinese Yao (妖) [4] about getting revenge on Akiko and the yao was pleased that Keiko would help him bring Akiko to him.

The chapter ended with Masahiro visiting Akiko and she informed him that she really needed his help to save Keiko.

Teaser for a page I'm doing for a Tanabata themed Witchwood date! This took me four hours. I used Kifune Shrine in Kyoto, Japan as a reference, and honestly I'm sure I did not do it justice. But I am incredibly proud of the result!

Two more panels to go! Hopefully not 4 hours each lol!

Hi , i wanted to ask you about Halloween 🎃 2022 i read it but I don't understand the meaning of many of this pictures

1_ is there a connection between the yugi twins costumes ??

2_ who is this person who bites ?

3_ what happened to hanako in the end 🤣 ?

Sorry take your time to answer ☺️

Helloooo, it took me longer than I should have to answer this ask, but I'm finally doing it!

1º - It refers to a curse known as Ushi no Koku Mairi

Ushi no Koku Mairi is one of the most famous and feared black magic curses. It is performed between 1:00 and 3:00 in the morning, during the hour of the ox. It is the darkest period of night, when the boundary between the world of the living and the world of the dead is weakest. To perform this ritual, there are some complicated steps that vary from account to account.

In general, it is necessary to build a Wara Ningyō containing a small piece of the body of the victim of the spell, such as a strand of hair, blood, nails or skin. Alternatively, you can use an image of the victim or a piece of paper with their name written on it. Then, you need to wear a white Kimono and your Obi, with thick white facial powder.

An overturned brazier is placed on the head and candles are attached to the legs and lit. High shoes with a single prong are worn on the feet. A mirror is placed on the chest, a knife is hidden behind the Obi and a comb is held between the teeth.

Thus prepared, one must enter a shrine during the hour of the ox and approach the sacred tree. Then one must hammer a long iron nail through the Wara Ningyō into the tree, which symbolically breaks the barrier between the world of the living and the world of the spirits.

It is necessary to call forth evil spirits, demons and yokai to enter the world. This ritual must be repeated every night for many nights, and it is very important that the person performing the curse not be seen. If there are any witnesses, they must be killed immediately. Otherwise, the evil of this curse will fall upon the conjurer.

In earlier times, the term simply referred to worship at the shrine during the hours of the ox, and the connotation of a curse developed later. At Kifune Shrine in Kyoto, there was a tradition that if one prayed here at the "hour of the ox of the day of the ox of the month of the ox of the year of the ox" one's wish would most likely be granted, because it was during this alignment of hour, day, month, and year that the deity Kibune was believed to have descended upon the shrine. However, the shrine became known as a curse spot in later development.

Hanako says: "It's a curse ritual! I'm going to put locks of hair on this doll, hammer a nail into it, and curse someone!"

The doll is Tsukasa. It's self-explanatory. Hanako wears the curser's costume, and Tsukasa the doll costume.

2º - they are Yokoo and Satou, Kou's friends.

Satou is the one biting.

He says: "I hear the sound… of a nail being driven into my head…" Which means that Hanako is cursing him, making him become aggressive and bite Yokoo.

After that, Teru appears with an antidote and returns him to normal.

3º - Teru says he will discipline whoever caused this

in this case, Hanako, and that's what Teru did. He punished Hanako for his mischief.
