And she kind of reached the top in the Youkai AND human world 400 years ago already. Why would she want to bear a child for? |

lol whut?

Isn't the reason she's so popular precisely because she appeared recently? We haven't seen much of Yuki Onna for a while, yet, she's still ranked third, behind the protagonist and the grandpa who pretty much looks exactly the same as Nura.
The same can't be said about our Omnyouji friends. |

I think its better to assume that she stole some baby seeds from Rikuo's father before killing him. That would definitely make one hell of a godly/yokai baby. Well, it would also kind of explain why she didn't kill Rukio when she saw him as a child.

Well if she's in a human body (and I think the story implies that this isn't a disguise but she actually takes over a human) then I guess she has to follow human physiological behavior, ie, it takes nine months to make a baby and you don't get pregnant six years earlier before the body even hits puberty.

Vol 6 = 120,000 over 6 days (Toriko did 130,000) Vol 7 = 80,000 over 3 days (Toriko did 90,000) Vol 8 = 109,000 over 3 days (Toriko did 102,000) That explains that.. and it finally outsells Toriko for the first time... the 2008 WSJ series in Bakuman, Mago and Toriko are going to get pushed pretty big next year with anime adaptions. I think Mago will eventually be around D.Gray Man when it comes to manga sales.. that just sold 244,049 copies in the same week. |

In fact, we don't even know for sure if she's pregnant right now. All we saw was Kitsune putting her hand on her the stomach. |

Didn't seem like it was too hidden to start with, not everyone believes in them but most people at least know the stories. That was always one thing that amused me about Japan, so many people believe or semi-believe in spirits compared to the rest of the world where you are expected to outgrow that. I can only imagine (in story anyway) that that belief must've helped the spirits in the long run.
EDIT: And I found this translation of the Omake in the first volume: disguise time!
