To celebrate the posting of two Narugami/Yamino fics on the same day (one of them my own), I decided to translate the following scene from Volume 05 of the first series. It takes place shortly after Hel stabbed Yamino, and it’s the closest to a tender, remotely slashy moment between these two that we get in the whole manga series, at least as far ( Read more... )

Since my goal is to show Hel moments, I left out some pages in which she doesn't appear.

Ergh, it's almost five in the morning and I have college tomorrow today. And an Ancient Greek test. But since I am bored to death and cannot sleep no matter how hard I try, I'll babble a little here. Please, don't mind me ( Read more... )
