no okay but fr when I was a translator of Ao no Exorcist scans from english to my native language sometimes there were terms that were non-translatable, because they were typical of Japanese culture or of particular religions and the english translators already had made do by creating compound words because with germanic languages you can at least do that, but my language’s rules do not allow to create compounds so I remember once spending a whole fricking 24hrs on a single speech bubble, pondering how to translate the meaning of the Japanese “salaryman”
funniest thing I’ve ever seen is a scan group that got an ask like ‘are you dropping [series]?’ and their response was ‘we’re so sorry it’s been taking so long, the manga references a lot buddhist text that haven’t been translated so our translator has been studying that to maintain accuracy’ LIKE

Salaryman Exorcist Vol 1 bonus pages
Hear ye, hear ye, all ye who pass by - ‘tis I! Back from the tomb, with a fresh new translation! As I’m sure you can guess by reading this post’s title, I finally translated Salaryman Exorcist Volume 1′s bonus pages! I believe now the entirety of this volume has been translated (all chapters available here, I recommend reading them first to get all the context of this double interview).
It took much longer than the other bonus pages, because this volume’s bonus pages are a 8 pages-long double interview with Katou Kazue and Sasaki Minoru. Translating this much at once was new to me, so I’m sorry if there are mistakes or weird sentences/syntax. Anyway, enjoy! For anime-only, there ARE spoilers for events after the Kyoto arc (on page 7 notably).
Salaryman Exorcist : The Sorrows of Okumura Yukio - Volume 1 bonus pages
(Kids, remember that usually you shouldn’t click on just any link on the Internet - but I assure you this one’s safer than safe! hahaha)
8 pages is a lot so I won’t put the raws under a cut, but if you want them just ask!

So I was rereading chapters 1,2, and 3 and I realized that there's this scene with Mephisto and Yukio on the phone. And from what I'm gathering Mephisto wanted Yukio to get Rin worked up enough (in the classroom fight scene) so they could see his powers and???
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
None of that stuff Yukio said probably even reflected what he felt??? (A lot of his phrases he even says is what other exorcists "will probably say to you") Like I understand him being upset about their father but honestly if he's just trying to get Rin worked up cause his BOSS TOLD HIM TO, then like...we still wouldn't know how he actually views Rin in this moment. And Mephisto frames is as "this is how you can protect your bro from the Order who wants him dead." ....why does he get shit for this he's a fifteen year old salaryman doing what his boss says for his bro's protection!!
Also pretty sure the anime cuts this scene which would explain why people misinterpret it. :p the poor twins are just being used by Mephisto lol.

Day 30 & 31: Showdown and Anticlimax
“Why don’t you show yourself, ‘Mistress’?”
Reimu Hakurei looked around, trying to find the mastermind of this plot.  The moon had risen by this late hour; not that you could see it clearly, just a pale red glow behind the scarlet fog.  There was a great rumbling in the air, and a cloud of bats flew past Reimu, converging in a swarming mass.  From this writhing, a figure emerged.  
A slender young girl, her skin a bloodless, pallid shade.  She was clad in soft pinks and vibrant reds in an aristocratic, gothic, western style, two leathery bat wings, black as night against the red mist, spouted from her back, lazily flapping far too slowly to support her, but still she hung in the air before her.  She brushed a lock of her wavy, powder-blue hair behind one pointed ear and looked down at Reimu.
“Ah, just one?  I was told there were two human intruders,” she said in a vaguely western accent.  
An outsider then, Reimu guessed, based on her voice. “Sorry to disappoint, but it’s just me for now.  The other one is dealing with your pet wizard,” she said.  She and Marisa had been ambushed by the maid and the librarian, and they had split up to deal with them.
“Oh, so that’s how it all worked out.  I look forward to seeing the book Patchy will bind with her skin.”  The looks of quiet amusement as she said this betrayed her age, thought Reimu.  The hint of bemused malice in her child’s voice and the shadow of sadism that crossed her too-young face told Reimu that whatever this thing was, it was nowhere near as young as it appeared.
“And I assume you’re looking to do something similar to me, yeah?” Reimu asked.  She shifted her grip on her gohei purification rod and stared back into those blood-red, slit-pupiled eyes.  “Something cruel and unspeakable?”
“It’s not polite to assume things, especially about your host,” the girl responded.  She folded her hands in front of her, like they were making polite conversation.  “I’m rather thinking of asking you to leave my manor for this behavior.  You’ve harassed my staff, disrupted their work, annoyed my friend and if you don’t leave soon you may disturb my dear sister.”
“Well, remove the red fog from Gensokyo, and you might make it back to your dear sister in one piece,” Reimu said, drawing a handful of ofuda talismans.
“If you think this is a game, priestess, you’re sadly mistaken,” the girl said.  She flicked her hand and a massive, intricately ornate winged spear flew into her outstretched palm, too fast for Reimu to tell where it had come from.  “This is all too real.”  They both smiled tightly.
“Looks like it's going to be a long night.”
“Looks like it's going to be a fun night.”
~~~
Reimu Hakurei awoke from another dream, again anxious, disappointed and confused.  These dreams of a fantasy land were always so exciting, but when she awoke it all turned back to crushing disappointment as she remembered her real life.
She rolled checked her bedside clock, and despite wanting to stay in bed another hour, she judged that it was time to start her day.  She rolled off her futon and began her morning routine.  Boil a kettle for tea, brush hair, toast bread, find clothes.  As she spread a tiny amount of jam on her toast, she tried to remember what her dream had been about.  Another of her many heroic fantasies, like all dreams they faded almost as soon as she woke up.  But this one had been so intense, was she fighting a vampire with a spear?
She finished her toast, and found some clean clothes.  A once-bright red hoodie, now a deeper, faded color, and an equally old pair of khaki cargo pants, now devoid of almost all color except the dull smear of age.  She slipped into her pair of beat-up sneakers and tied up her hair into a loose bun, tied with one of her keepsakes from her mother, a red, frilled ribbon.  The locals had always talked about her with such admiration, Reimu felt a private shame that she couldn’t remember much of anything about her, but the ribbon and the two red fabric tubes she wore on her long sidelocks felt familiar in a way nothing else did.
Finally dressed, she slid her front door up, and stepped out into the mid-morning fog of Gensokyo, Tokyo.  Tucked away between Shinkaji and Shimokitazawa, the neighborhood was oft-forgotten by the authorities, filled equally with retirees and hipsters.  Reimu grabbed her broom from inside the Hakurei Shrine, and closed the door.  She checked her donation box on her way down the stairs, and pocketed the spare coins; judging them enough for a sandwich lunch from the corner store later in the day.  She set to sweeping the path between the torii and the shrine, trying to keep this tiny corner of nature wedged between urban sprawl clean.
“Um, hello?” came a voice from behind her.  Reimu turned to see a pale salaryman, sick mask over his face, looking around nervously as he stood on the threshold beneath the torii gate.  She turned and answered him.
“Hello, what are you looking for?” she said, leaning on her broom.
“Are you…the manager of this shrine?” he asked, looking around.
“No, but I would be if shrines had managers,” Reimu responded, wondering what this could possibly be about.  Another real estate stooge trying to buy up the shrine?
“Oh well, um,” he stumbled over his words before continuing. “I’ve got a bit of a weird problem, and I was given this flyer about it…” he produced a slip of paper and offered it to Reimu and she took it.  It read in white lettering outlined in red: “Exorcisms and Spiritual Exterminations: Hakurei Shrine Services” with a picture of the shrine and the address.  Marisa had made these for her months ago, and little had come from putting them all over the neighborhood except for one near-signed old woman trying to get Reimu to handle her tatami mite infestation.  Did Marisa print more of them without telling her?
“Where did you get this?” Reimu asked.   
The man looked even more nervous.  “Well, I was out drinking after work a few nights ago, and I may have started complaining about how…” he paused, looking embarrassed.  Reimu gestured for him to continue, and he collected himself.  “About how the apartment above mine is haunted.  One of the other regulars at the bar said that she knew a great exorcist who could settle the spirit, and she gave me that flyer.  Is that you?”
“Yes, that’s me,” Reimu said to try and calm his obvious nerves. “Do you know this regular?”
“Um, I don’t know her name.” Reimu gestured for him to continue again, and the man explained: “Tall, middle aged, blond hair, dressed in a dark purple business suit.  The bartender says she’s a night owl: stays until dawn, then leaves.”  Despite the right hair color, that didn’t sound anything like Marisa.  After thinking it over for a moment and coming up with nothing, she returned her attention to the salaryman.
“So, a haunted apartment above yours?” she asked.
“Yes, I’ve spoken to the building manager, but she doesn’t believe me.  She walked me through the apartment when I lodged a noise complaint, she said it’s empty because of some kind of rot in the floorboards that she can’t find anyone to fix, but…”
“What kind of noises are you hearing?”
“Moaning, scratching, and loud thumps at the floor,” he said.  “At first, it thought it must be someone that was kidnapped, or held against their will, but since she showed me that it’s empty and she keeps the door locked, I’m convinced it’s haunted.  It’s happened every night for two months now, and I can’t get any sleep.”
Reimu mulled the problem over.  She needed cash, but a locked apartment might not be so easy.  She wondered if Marisa still had her lockpicking kit from her B&E days - who was she kidding? Of course Marisa still had it, the girl never threw anything away.  Reimu checked her watch, and tried to remember when Marisa would be out of her classes; not until 5 pm at the latest, which left them plenty of time for a nighttime ritual and exorcism.
“Alright, if you can pay, I can remove this spirit for you,” Reimu said, shifting her tone of voice to her saleswoman pitch.  “Base fee is thirty thousand yen, with additional fees if the spirit is troublesome and takes longer, and a down payment of five thousand yen for materials.”
The man swallowed behind his mask.  “So, you can do it soon, then?” he said as he removed several bills from his wallet.
“Yes, we can do it tonight.  I’ll need my associate, who should be free tonight.” She accepted the five bills with a bow. “And besides, exorcisms are best performed when the spirit is active, so we’d have to wait regardless.”  She pocketed the cash, and directed the man into the shrine to get his address and take stock of her supplies.
While she may not have been as fearless as the other Reimu in her dreams, she was still an exterminator of spirits, and a keeper of Gensokyo’s balance.

(I guess this is as good a place to start an AU.  Focused on an urban fantasy feel, and majorly inspired by this picture, look for stories in this universe here and on my AO3.)

hey i'm interested to see your version of saigenos from that batarou werewolf-vampire au post which you reblogged before. imagine them as salaryman and housewife at day, then exorcist and vampire hunter at night. that would be awesome! or maybe also with some other casts, too (your choice!).
Anonnn!
I think the AU sounds fun but then I made the mistake of discussing it with my friend and we made like a crack version of it and now that’s all that’s on my mind omg. I’m SORRY and also enjoy
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Saitama: YouTuber for fun. Has a basic cheap camera, but it gets the job done. He’s actually really, really good at attracting/luring out ghosts but is assumed by nearly everyone to be fake. Talks to the nice spirits, immediately exterminates the nasty ones. As part of his work he has also run into vampires, werewolves and other mysterious beings. Very little surprises him these days...
Genos: Original job was assistant chef at an Italian restaurant. Intense at his job, uses too much garlic (you’d think someone can’t use too much garlic, but Genos found a way). He meets Saitama one night while taking out the trash after closing. The weird bald man claimed he was ”looking for ghosts” which Genos assumed is code for dumpster diving. He took pity on the man and offered him some leftovers and it was love at first sight. And then Saitama started liking Genos too, not just his cooking.
Saitama joked early on with Genos and his ”cover” - clearly the dude is a vampire hunter, with all that garlic. Genos tells him vampires aren’t real, of course - after which Saitama invites him to his outings and Genos is quickly convinced.
Okay - to pull it back at least a LITTLE closer to the original au, let’s say Genos lost his family to a weird group. After learning more about mysterious beings from Sai, he realizes they were those nasty pureblood vampires and he becomes an ACTUAL vampire hunter, a rather overzealous one and then he runs into Badd and all that.
Saitama, ex-exorcist huh... well. He finally bit the bullet and got a day job so he can keep himself afloat. Plus, Genos thought it’d be nice if they could afford a nicer apartment, with a proper kitchen... and Saitama definitely wants more of his cooking ok.
(Mumen: saw some of Sai’s clips and wanted to join and is now his exorcist trainee!)
As stated in the screenshots Sai wears a BOO hoodie and usually has his camera. Genos... I always like him best as a cyborg, maybe he’s still a full body cyborg but it’s like, prosthetics not for combat. Has even more kitchen gadgets installed than in canon.
Garou in werewolf mode greatly appreciates his cooking, too...

Hahaha! Salaryman Exorcist is great. Poor Shiro, it's all fun and games until some time traveling a hole decides to show your kid your wild & tumultuous youth. It still cracks me up that both Shiro and Mephisto seem to think Yukio would react worse to this information.
Well, going by Mephisto’s irritated and quickly swept away comment in chapter 99…
Tumblr media
All the times he DID show Yukio the past ended up biting him in the ass in some way or another.(General fandom theory is that Mephisto can either see all of time simultaneously, or is able to rewind time and take a different route, like starting a game from a safe point -> Which is what I’m going with, because if he always knew exactly what was going to happen he’d be way overpowered and also bored out of his mind.)
Which adds an extra layer to his sadistic delight in chapter 94:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(“No I don’t have time for this” + walking out on stage = “I told you like twelve times already and every time you fucked shit up so screw you, I’m going to try for a different ending. Menu… save game… Let’s see what happens. LEEEEROYY JEEENKIIIINS”) And what does Yukio? Aims a gun at Meph, probably would have shot him if someone else didn’t beat him to it, then has a total breakdown, shoots his brother, and runs off to the Illuminati. :/Shiro knew his kids well~ And so does Meph.

i've been kind of struggling with the public bio; would you be able to give an example on how to write it?
Public bios can be tough, so we understand! We've provided some examples under the cut.
Mod character example 1:
An average salaryman who doesn't just seem overworked, but is: the office pushover, even rookies feel comfortable asking for a helping hand from their good friend ALKALOID. Before receiving his Mark he spent his days running others' errands and pushing buttons with his face too close to his computer monitor. His only reprieve was his time spent unwinding with a glass of whiskey after work at his favorite bar before having to shuffle home on tired legs.
Mod character example 2:
Private junior high school Doumori Academy is known for several things: backed by the wealthy Doumori Foundation and home to the children of elites, the place is a cesspool of speculation, drama, and rumors... that don't at all concern the newly appointed English language teacher GALAHAD. Hailing from some old something-or-other family, he humbly accepted the position of an educator right around the time rumors of the Mark sprung up among the student body and staff. As if adjusting to life as a teacher at a private school wasn't difficult enough, his affliction with the Mark had him fighting to accept the Laplace Committee's invitation. "What can you do for Laplace? You're just an English teacher!" his superiors stated, to which he replied with his usual maxim: I'll endeavor to do my best!
Misc character example:
Take everything you know about exorcists and set it neatly to the side to make way for the Fang of the Dawn! Japan’s number one exorcist isn’t a flashy onmyoji equipped with talismans, nor is it a priest armed with a khakkhara, but STEEL, the most “Unremarkable・Great・Genius” of one of Japan’s oldest exorcist clans known as the Morning Faction. Magic? Not magic! To combat a curse STEEL has no need for supernatural powers, their skill more than making up for their lack of superhuman abilities commonly found among their fellows working for NEgate, a Japanese organization specializing in the suppression of supernatural phenomena.
So how does the average human combat a supernatural curse? Well, they’re more than willing to answer, but catching them for an interview seems to be difficult these days - with the uptick of supernatural happenings, you’d rather STEEL be out in the field than sitting around answering questions about their work!

Not particularly happy neither with my translation nor the edits, but here we go! Bonus pages from Salaryman Exorcist volume 3, again! I was going to post the pictures without translation or anything but since I had already translated the bonus comic, I felt compelled to translate those as well. Probably the dumbest things I’ve translated so far. I’m going to translate all the bonus pages, starting from these ones... the last of them. Oops. If you spot any grave mistranslation, don’t hesitate to point it out, I’m still learning!
I guess the “wants to be scolded” thing (in Sasaki’s drawing) is because he’s a salaryman...? Or something? Context?
If anyone feels like cleaning up the sketches, feel free I guess, I don’t own them haha
Raws under the cut ~
