A very Kuchiki New Year
Happy New Year, all!
This New Year-themed 4-koma appeared in the latest Jump and... let's just say Byakuya welcomes Ichigo into the Kuchiki household...
Additional notes that were too long to include:
1. Byakuya says "bestow upon you a New Year gift" because in the original Japanese, he says 兄に年玉をやる, "Kei ni toshidama wo yaru" - yaru means "give" in the context of giving something to a lower life formXD (eg Watashi wa inu ni mizu wo yaru - I gave water to the dog). So after thinking about it a while I went with "bestow" because while Byakuya's being incredibly generous as well as putting Ichigo on the same level as a Kuchiki noble... he's still being snotty.XD
2. Byakuya does indeed use 兄 to refer to Ichigo, as an archaic and polite form of "you" - though it's more commonly used now to mean "older brother."
...oh and please let me know if I translated anything wrong... Japanese is VERY not my native language.XD
The raw is here
And! Important News!! A chibi-IchiRuki poster is going to be in Winter Akamaru Jump, which is to be released on January 10.
