On Shizuku so gar. Soyogi was close but they never actually did the insertion.

LeaD36 · 2012-03-12, 07:26

^but she clearly said "i didn't think intercourse could be so great"
that's a rather confusing statement given the situation

Lost in translation, that monologue was Nagi's not Shizuku.

Shizuku only said I did it now we are one.

LeaD36 · 2012-03-12, 09:15

^i was talking about the time with soyogi :9

Has anyone noticed the hair on Nagi?
Is there a dragonball in his past life?

Beo · 2012-03-27, 17:08

ACK!! Just got done reading some depressing stuff, sort of a Japaneses historical/love story. A lords son goes to a shrine headed by a past friend to the father. He was sent there to keep him out of being killed by his brothers and so tries to keep his identity as the lords son a secret.

Villagers in the area are currently working on a levy to control flood waters that have in the past killed people of the village.

There is a young miko, shrine maiden, that works there; Most of the story is filled with nice days of them getting to know each and such. He falls in love with her and decides that he will talk to her about it.

Just before he talks to her, while walking about the levy construction, he notices that a shaft has been constructed there and asks about it - its for the "scapegoat". He figures that is the traditional thing that happens in construction is for there to be a sacrifice and goes on with the rest of the day.

OK - thats the back story and now come to that last chapter.

not to sound mean or anything, but what's the relation of this story to umi no misaki?

Beo · 2012-03-28, 10:05

The general feel of this series tends to be using themes from traditional / historical stories. If there comes a time when there will be a marriage ceremony, start looking for the pit.

GreydonCreed · 2012-03-28, 15:36

Where did you read such a charming cheerful story?

You said it was historical, does that mean it really happened? Because if it did, once the lord found out about his son's (and the girl's) fate, the whole village would have been crucified, a not uncommon punishment in feudal Japan. Either that or everyone would have been buried alive in the dike after the son and the girl had been recovered.

Beo · 2012-03-28, 18:51

Miko - fate - traditions and such

Spoiler for A bit off topic but relates to folk tales and such:

Franckie · 2012-03-28, 21:29

I cannot imagine this series getting darker than showcasing parental abuse/neglect, chiefly from Shizuka's mother. Needless drama needs to stay away because it wouldn't fit in with the story's light atmosphere.

Starshipw · 2012-03-28, 22:35

There are too many hints about "favor" and "sacrifice" for there not to be some dark undercurrent on that island. the drama comes from whether Nagi and the maidens will be able to overcome the danger or whether one of the four might be lost.

GrrDraxin · 2012-03-29, 18:25

The thing is, by compare to this other story of sacrificing to the Dragon God, in this case there is an ACTUAL PERSON as the DG. So I think such a thing probably won't happen at least for that reason.

However, that doesn't say what's to happen to those who don't gain his favor. We don't really know the details, nor what the whole tradition is, and they don't go into explaining how things were with the past DG and Cape Maidens. I'm sure if there is some account on it, we'd know if there is some sinister threads about that somewhere.

As far as we know, we only suspect there might be some dark thing about all this, but we only have a very small hunch in that it's gonna effect at least one of the main cast. But it also depends on how Nagi would address it if and when it's revealed what that dark side is.

Franckie · 2012-03-29, 18:31

We're 96 chapters into the series and there is no evidence of some elaborate ongoing conspiracy. The "dark side" you guys speak about is how the maidens feel strangled by their social standing. Them loosening up around Nagi is the dominant plotline of the story.

crossguy · 2012-03-30, 23:35

Oh There's something going on in the background. For me the arc beginning around CH50 has implied subtext, and cries out sumpin's goin' on. The whole story of the 3 maidens told in CH52 still gives me the heebee jeebees, especially when Rinne says" Niinii, might you also...."
I think the Author's previous tale shows that darkness is just a plot turn away, but I think You'll never see it comin'.
From my previous posts you can tell I never do.

cyberdemon · 2012-04-12, 21:21

any spoilers for the new chapter yet? It;s the 13th in japan now

Starshipw · 2012-04-19, 13:38

Finally the raws are out. Rinne gets the cover page.

Without a translation it is a little difficult to understand what is happening.

Spoiler for Why I brought this up in this thread: He goes to his room that evening and while eating his meal he brings up the subject of the hole. The miko then informs him that is for her, this is the same girl he was going to confess to. She is going to be married to the Dragon God and then buried alive in that hole. There is a vent to the bottom so that she does not die quickly. A lot of mixed filling go on, has sex because she also likes him, she goes through the marriage ceremony and is buried in the shaft. While leaving the village he happens to overhear some villagers that the lottery used in the selection was rigged against her. He goes back to try and rescue her, get hit in the head by a village mob and thrown into the shaft with her. End of story

Beo where's the snow? Join Date: Aug 2008	Miko - fate - traditions and such Spoiler for A bit off topic but relates to folk tales and such: More of older style folk tale, not sure of how much of its fiction or non-fiction. Was written from a only the main character view point only, like what would happen if a person would narrate their life. When he got hit in the head, the narration ended as he was blacked out while falling into the pit with the girl. The thing about this story was how nice and up beat it was, it was really an upbeat feeling. Right until the last chapter where he get hit and the story ends. It has the same feel as this series has on now nice and fun it is to read it. The Miko in the story was fine with what was her fate and felt it was her duty. The guy was upset about what was to happen once he found out but also figured it was also her fate and would not fight it. Son get sent off to a shrine - meets nice people - become a better person - falls in love .... (dies?). A true romance, better to die with a pure love together. Spoiler for Previous series - Ai Yori: The author did throw in the last volume that second heir without much warning and he might throw in something dark into this series also.

Shizuku has some problem with the trip back to the main island. Nagi hauls her on the inner tube???
