"Growing" (IY)

[wombat1138]

The circle name for this doujinshi appears to be "Raspberry & Blueberry", nicknamed "RasBlue"-- apparently a secondary alias for the (now-retired) IY fan artist Sakuban.

Usual warnings: I have no real idea what I'm doing except for juggling a lot of reference books/websites; there is a reasonable chance that any part of my results may be completely wrong. Unless you are Urd-chan, do not turn these into English-language scanslations or I will be cross. Grrr.

Vague format key--

#N# : page number

+++ : frame/group break (sometimes I leave these out)
| : internal balloon/group break if compressing several short segments into the same line of text; linebreak if separating out longish text from a single balloon/caption.

Frame/balloon order is generally from right to left and from top to bottom. The kana for "tsu" is sometimes used to indicate a glottal stop, as in a sudden gasp or an abrupt break in speech; in those cases, I'll transcribe it as "*" instead.

direct kanja/kana transcription (solid text blocks indicate individual lines)
= raw romaji: [kanji], hiragana, KATAKANA, words-linked-inna-phrase, (handwritten marginalia), ~sound fx~
- misc. analysis: idiomatic notes, grammatical contractions unpacked from the raw transcription if necessary (e.g., "inna" <- "in a") etc.

= raw gloss: [word function]*, literal-translation
*functional abbreviations: [T]opic, emphatic [S]ubject, [O]bject, unidentified [P]article, [C]opula, [Q]uestion, [N]ame; [aX] (animate existence), [iX] (inanimate existence), ["] (quotation), [+] (honorific), [rQ] (rhetorical question), [mM] (emotional emphasis), [fM] (factual emphasis)

Narrative descriptions
[cranky editorial notes]
-- "occasional coherent(ish) translations"

Because of the new experiment with adding a raw transcription layer, my formatting will be even more irregular than usual, so don't take the above list too much to heart :b The original typography makes a lot more use of smaller fonts for long vowels; I've replicated that in the transcript, but probably won't do anything else about those in the transliteration layer.

Page numbers taken from filenames in Urd-chan's scan set.

There really is a sharp division in the speech level used by IY himself and, well, almost everyone else. He uses a lot of slangy contractions and is generally rude.

:| I can't figure out the implicit pronoun references for this intro at all-- they could be "If I do X, then you do Y (in response)" or "If you do X, then I do Y"... or "if both of us do X, then (afterwards) we both do Y" argharghargh.

(After working thorough more pages, I'm coming to the conclusion that the large narrative captions are Inuyasha's thoughts, but I'm not sure I have actual proof of this :| :| )

First caption block: 近づけば 離れて 追いかければ 逃げていく
- 近づける: [chi]dzukeru, "bring near, allow contact"; "-(d)zu-" attatchment/continuation infix can also be written w/ the kanji 付 (also pronouncable as "-tsu-")
- 離れる: [hana]reru, "become separated"
- 追う: [a]u, "pursue"; 追いかける: [a]ikakeru, "chase after someone" (can also be written as 追い掛ける, [a]i[ka]keru <- 掛 [ka] ~"hang onto, suspend from")
- 逃げる: [ni]geru, "escape, run away"
= [chi]dzukeba | [hana]rete | [a]ikakereba | [ni]gete-iku
= if-becoming-closer | becoming-separated | if-chasing-someone | go-running-away

Option #1: (IY warning Kagome against his own courtship? "If I come near you, you should move away. If you're chasing me, you should flee"?)
Option #2: (frustrated complaint at the other person's behavior? "When I come near you, you move away instead. When I chase you, you flee from me"?)


Option #3: (general observation about relationship decay?)
-- "Whenever people become close, eventually they drift apart again. No matter how hard you chase someone, eventually they'll get away."

Option #4: (IY aware of his own skittishness?)
-- "When you come close to me, I move away. When you chase me, I flee."

Second caption block: 時の流れ 逆らうことなど できない
- 時: [toki], "time"
- 流れ: [naga]re, "stream/current [noun]"; 流れる: [naga]reru, "flow away, get washed away"
- 逆らう: [sa]karau, "oppose, defy"
= [toki]-no [naga]re-ni | [sa]karau-koto nado | dekinai
= to-time's-flow | contradiction/defiance(?) something-like | cannot
-- "It's impossible to resist the passage of time."

Last caption line: だから...
= dakara...
-- "And therefore..."

= kono [te]-wo | [hana]sanaide--
= this hand[O] | please-don't-release

+++

IY: ~イライライライライラ~ (IRA IRA IRA etc.: fuming annoyance)
だいたい... (daitai...)
[something like "more or less", but he's using it as a general exclamation out of nowhere? an annoyed echo if she told him to be here around a certain time without being exact?]
[Looks like I'll have to lapse straight into loose and lazy guesswork, despite my prior good intentions. I suck :b ]
-- "How much longer, huh?"

+++

-- "and now..."

+++

このブラも | 小さくなっちゃった
= kono BURA-mo | [chii]sakunatchatta

Back to her: ~カン~ (KAN: "click" as she opens her lipstick)

この五年間　|　あんた　そればっか

+++

Him: ...ふつぅ (futsuu)
[Not sure what this means w/o any kanji to narrow things down. 普通 [futsuu] means "ordinary/usual" and can be used as a -na adjective; 不通 [futsuu] means "an interruption in transport/communications". Balancing between them as a wild guess :b ]

#11#

-- "I told you, my friends and I just hang out together for no particular reason, that's all..."

+++

Arguing above the top of the Bone Eater's Well, still at the shrine.

Him: 課題だー！？　うそっけこのやろぅ！　
= [isshou]-da--!? usotsuke kono yarou!
[Swapping out the literal "together" meaning of [isshou] in hopes of improving the flow]
-- "No particular reason?! Now *you're* the liar!"

この前も課題とか言って　こんぱ行ってたじゃねぇかっ！（だましゃがって！） | （同ぜだすっ）
= kono-[mae]-mo [isshou] toka-[i]tte | kompa [i]tte'ta ja nee ka*! | (onaji ze desu*)

しかし... 　奈落の消息が　つかめませんねー
- 消息: [shousoku], "news, circumstances"
= shikashi... | [Naraku]-no [shousaku]-ga | tsukamemasen na--
- tsukamemasen <- polite neg. of [tsu]kameru <- potential of [tsu]kamu, "catch/seize"
(see next page)

Miroku is fairly consistent about using the polite -masu forms of verbs (and shifting verbs into the passive form for additional refinement) and enunciating everything clearly, which is quite a contrast to Inuyasha's speech pattern.

#13#

Miroku (first half of long balloon):

- 七宝: [Shippou], lit'ly "seven treasures" or "cloisonne"
- 正解 (せいかい): [seikai], "correct, right" (wrt an answer/solution)

Still her: 申し訳ないんだけど　そろそろ向こぅに　戻りたいなぁって...
- 申し: [mou]shi, honorific "speak"
- 申し訳 : [mou]shi[wake] "apology, excuse"; [mou]shi[wake]-nai -> "this is inexcusable of me" blame-taking apology
- 向く: [mu]ku, "face toward"
= [mou]shi[wake]-nai n'da kedo | sorosoro [mu]kou-ni | [modo]ritai-natte...
- sorosoro: "gradually"; by idiomatic implication, "it's getting late", "I'm getting tired" etc.
-- "I'm terribly sorry, but now that it's getting late, I'm starting to think about turning around to go back [for the night]."

#14#

Miroku: かごめ様の　年齡にもなれば　学ぶことも少ない　はずでしょぅに....
- 年齡: [nenrei], "age"
- 学ぶ: [mana]bu, "study intensively/thoroughly"
- 少ない: [suku]nai, "few, scarce, seldom"

- hazu: "likelihood, valid reason"
= [N][+]'s | age[P] if-become | also-intensive-studies scarce | reason must-be[C]
[randomish interpolation]
-- "Surely by now, Lady Kagome, your student years are over and no longer require intensive studies."

+++

Cultural note: supposedly in Japan, all of the frantic study-cramming takes place in middle school and high school; once people get into college, the curriculum is relatively easy. I don't know whether this is actually true, but it would explain Kagome's following answer. Also, I think the age of consent and the end of compulsory education are at the end of middle school, after which people can get married or start to work full-time?

By contrast, the usual boundary of "adulthood" in the US is 21, which is the national minimum for legally consuming alcohol, and the age at which on-track college students are about ready to graduate from their four-year undergraduate degree. There are also some younger cutoffs: the legal driving age varies from state to state, but at 18, people are generally considered capable of signing legal agreements and contracts, such as joining the military.

Kagome: 私もそぅ　思ってたんだけど

かごめ様が　大人になられた　証ですよ
- 証 : [akashi], "proof, evidence"
= Kagome-[sama]-ga | [otona]-ni narareta | [akashi] desu yo
-- "proves by itself that you have become an adult, Lady Kagome."

IY: ~ピクンッ~ (PIKUN*, a sharp "twitch" from his ears)

#15#

Kagome: えへへ　そうなのかな
= ehehe | sou na no ka na
-- *(nervous?) laughter* "I suppose that's true, isn't it?"

Miroku: そぅです (sou desu, "Of course it is.")

IY: ~ザザザザザザッ~ (ZAZAZAZAZAZA*)
[A cold wind blowing through? IY stomping away?]

+++

Miroku and Kagome stare at IY's back turned toward them.

[I think that both of the next two balloons may belong to Miroku because of the first one's "[o]kotte'masu" structure and the second one's dialogue continuation onto the next page. OTOH, the question/answer pattern may mean that the first balloon is really Kagome. Argh.]

?: なんか怒って　ますよね　（わざとらしいな...)
- 怒る: [ika]ru, "be angry"; or [oko]ru, "get angry"
= nanka [oko]tte | 'masu yo ne | (waza-to-rashii na)
- waza: "on purpose"; waza-to-rashii: "forced, unnatural" <- "(obviously) appears to be intentional"
-- "I wonder what's angering him? (Is he just pretending?)"

Miroku: ....私が 怖るのを　納得してないのよ　きっと....
- 怖る (おそる): [oso]ru, "fear something/someone, be afraid"
- 納得 (なっとく): [nattoku], "consent, comprehension"

[random interpolations again]

- 気に入る: [ki]-ni-[i]ru, "be pleasing/appealing"
- 態度: [taido], "attitude/manner"
- 子供: [kodomo], "child(ren)"
= [ki]-ni-[i]ranai-to | [taido]-ni-[da]su atari | omae-wa [aika]warazu | [kodomo] da na
[In this case, Miroku is using "omae" as a third-person reference to Inuyasha.]
-- "his behavior accurately displays his distaste for something, as he has never changed from being childish[ly obvious]."

少しはかごめ様を　見習ったらどうだ
- 見習う (みならう): [mitara]u, "follow someone's example"
= [suko]shi-wa Kagome-sama-wo | [mitara]ttara dou da
[more interpolations]
-- "If only he would slightly emulate your mature adult behavior, Lady Kagome."

+++

[The scan boundary cuts off some of the handwritten comment.]

Kagome: 弥勒様　いいよ...
= [Miroku]-sama | ii yo....
-- "Lord Miroku, I agree..."

（それ言っちゃ　［？］イよーな...)
[The missing kana still has the two dots of a dakuten modifier, so it's something in the GA/GI/GU/GE/GO, DA/DJI/DZU/DE/DO, or BA/BI/BU/BE/BO series.]
= (sore [i]tcha | [?]I yo-- na)
-- "(but the way you said it seems rather harsh...)" (?)

+++

Miroku: よくは　ないでしょう

-- "It will not be easy"

今はまだしも　かごめ様は これからますます 忙しくなられる　でしょぅから

- masumasu: "increasingly"
-- "for him to imitate you, Lady Kagome, as from now on, you will become increasingly occupied [by adult matters]."

+++

少しは犬夜叉にも　大人の世界を　理解してもらわないとー
- 世界 (せかい): [sekai], "the world"
- 理解 (りかい): [rikai], "understanding, comprehension"
= [suko]shi-wa [Inuyasha]-ni-mo | [otona]-no-[sekai]-wo | [rikai]-shite-moranai to
- shite-morau: receive the benefit of something done by someone unaffiliated with the speaker
- [rikai]-suru: "gain understanding"

-- "But Inuyasha will not learn adult behavior from you, not even a small amount."

#17#

ガキで　悪かったな
- [waru]i: "bad"
= GAKI de [waru]katta na
- gaki: literally, "eternally hungry ghost"; idiomatically, "troublesome child", "annoying brat" etc.
- de-[waru]katta: idiomatic apology or self-deprecation, ~"unfortunately", "I'm sorry that..." etc.
-- "Unfortunately, he's just a snotty-nosed little brat."

[No, there's no snot reference in the original. However, it was irresistable; iirc Takahashi stated in an official sourcebook that, like a real dog, IY's nose is always cold and damp except when he's sick.]

+++

IY: つまんねぇ　大人の事情なんぞ　興(?)味ねえっ!!
- 事情 (じじょう): [jijou], "conditions, reasons"
- 興味: [kyoumi], "interest in something"
= tsumannee | [otona]-no-[jijou] nan zo | [kyoumi] nee*!!
- tsumannai (or tsumanai) <- tsumaranai, "boring, trivial"
-- "So who cares about your stupid 'adult' stuff, huh?! I ain't interested!"

+++

Miroku: おや (oya: a mild exclamation of dismay, ~"Oh dear.")

~トキー...~ (DOKI--: a heartbeat noise from someone)

#18#

Miroku: そういうは言い方が　子供だと　言ってるんだ
= sou iu [i]i[kata]-ga | [kodomo] da to | [i]tte'ru n'da
[Miroku's diction is slipping a tiny bit here with the contractions, esp. the drop-down from "no desu" to "n'da". It could be the unconscious effect of annoyance, or slight deliberate rudeness back at IY.]
-- "See? Even the phrasing of his answer betrays his childishness."

IY: うるせぇ！(urusee <- urusai, lit'ly "annoying" but idiomatically "Be quiet!", "Shut up!" etc.)
-- "Shaddup!"

Kagome: ~トキン~ (DOKUN: louder heartbeat)

+++

IY: 大人って　｜　そんな [?]ぇのか...
- 偉い (えらい): [era]i, "conceited"?

+++

ただの　ばばぁじゃねぇか
= tada-no babaa ja-nee ka
-- "You already ain't nothin' but an old hag."

Kagome: ~ズキッ~ (ZUKI*: a sharp pain)

#19#

The two speech attributions in the first panel are messing me up again :|

I think the first boldface line is another internal narrative caption as IY instantly regrets what he said. Or it could be Miroku already starting to yell at IY. Or it could be Kagome's inner reaction.

?: ひどい　それ言うの？
= hidoi | sore iu-no?
[Semi-literal, whoever it is: "That was a cruel thing to say, wasn't it?", "How horrible to say that", etc.]
-- (IY?) "Why did I say something that cruel to her?" or more loosely "...I didn't mean to hurt her like that."
-- (Miroku?) "How dare you speak so cruelly?!"
-- (Kagome?) "Did he really say something that cruel to me?"

The little balloon might be Miroku momentarily stuttering with wrath as he leads into the tirade in the next panel. Or it could be someone else starting to speak before getting cut off by Miroku's tirade.

?: お.. (o..)
[I think this is either a cut-off "ore" ("I--") from IY, or the start of Miroku's
"omae" ("You--").]

+++

Miroku: おまえといぅヤツは　おなごに対して　なんてひどいこよを！
- 対: [tai], "ratio, opposition"; [tsui], "couple, set"[noun]
[Only the [tai] pronunciation is marked for verb conversion with "suru".]
= omae to-iu YATSU-wa | onago ni-[tai]-shite | nante hidoi koto-wo!!
- yatsu: a really rather rude pronoun-type word.
[I have come to think that the official translation of "Urusei Yatsura" (the name of an earlier series by Takahashi) as "Those Annoying Aliens" is completely inadequate, and would be better conveyed as "Those Assholes from Planet Spaz". (Or "...Outer Spaz", but I'm not sure if the interplanetary pun would be instantly obvious.)]
- onago <-? 女子 [onago], "young woman"
- ni-[tai]-suru: "regarding"?
[Slightly more literal: "The words you just said-- you are a [crude person] to speak so cruelly about a young lady!"]
-- "Only a complete son-of-a-bitch would speak to a young lady so cruelly!"

[Wrong side of IY's family, of course, but another failure to resist a pun :| ]

かごめ様に　あやまれ!!
= Kagome-[sama]-ni | ayamare!!
- ayamare: the least polite and most direct command form of ayamaru, "apologize"
-- "Apologize to Lady Kagome, now!"

~ぐわっ~ (guwa*: Miroku grabbing IY by the collar)

+++

Narrative caption: ずっと　悩んだきたのに ...許せない
- 悩む: [naya]mu, "distress"
- 許す: [yuru]su, "permit, approve, forgive"

+++

IY: てめえも　じじいたっ！
= temee-mo jiji ita*!
- temae: rude pronoun
-- "And you've turned into an old geezer too, you dickwad!"

~トオンンッ~ (DOON*: hard "THUMP!")
~バキ~ (BAKI: "CRASH!")

Miroku: ...いやぁ (iyaa: mild dismay)

それにしても　神道力の腕をますます　上げられましたねぇ....
- 力 : [riki]? [ryoku]? [chikara]? not sure of the pronunciation in this context
= sore-ni-shite-mo [Shintou][ryoku?]-no [ude]-wo masumasu | [a]geraremashita nee
- sore ni shite mo: (idiom) "nevertheless", "even so"
- [a]geraremashita <- polite past of [a]gerareru <- passive of [a]geru
= even-so | Shinto-power's arm[O] increasingly was-elevated
-- "Nevertheless, the extent of your Shinto powers has certainly increased, Lady Kagome."

たった指一本で　犬夜叉が吹っ飛びました
- 指一本: [yubi-ippon], "one finger" (the last kanji is the "counter" word for fingers)
- 吹っ飛ぶ (ふっとぶ): [fu]t[to]bu, "blow away"

- kanaumai <- negative probable of kanau ("come true, wish"? "be suited to"?)
-- "(Indeed, I would not have believed it)"? or "(Indeed, it may be harsher than he deserved)"?

#22#

Miroku: 成長したのは　本だけじゃ　なかったのですね～　| ...って
本: [karada], "human body, health"? [tai], "physical form, concrete reality, conceptual compliance"? or [tei], "condition, form"?
= [seishou]-shita-no-wa | [?]-dake ja- | nakatta no-de ne | ...'tte
- ja-nakatta <- de-wa-nakatta <- past of de-wa-nai <- neg. of desu [copula]
- grown-to-adulthood-[N][T] only-body was-not[C] [P] ["]
-- "Truly, it is not just your body that has reached adulthood, Lady Kagome! [Your powers have also grown!]"

+++

かごめ様？(Kagome-[sama]?)
-- "Lady Kagome?"

+++

かごめ様っ!?
-- "Lady Kagome--!?"

い、犬夜叉っ　早く追わないかっ!!
- 追う: [a]u, "chase, pursue"
= i, [Inuyasha]* | [haya]ku [a]wanai ka*!!
[Literally, the main part of the sentence is "Not pursuing quickly?", but that just doesn't flow in dialogue.]
-- "Inuyasha-- you're not following her?!" or "--won't you follow her?!"

The broad semi-vertical line behind the last balloon may be made of smudgy writing, but if it is, I can't read it. Or maybe it's just an abstract frame boundary.

#23# , #24#: no text.

#25#

Kagome: .......人の部屋に　勝手に　入ってこなにでよ

= [su]ki-na-yatsu-ni | [Shintou][riki?} nanka [tsuka]u ka?
-- "Do you enjoy making me use my Shinto powers on you, you rotten bastard?"

+++

IY: 下手すりゃ　死ぬんだぜ?
- 下手: [shitade], "foot"; [heta], "clumsy"
- surya <- sureba? <- conditional of suru?
- surya <- sore wa?
[Lyrics transcripts contain the string 下手すりゃ w/ romaji "heta surya"; further searches on the latter -> heta soreba "if clumsy" -> "if (someone) isn't careful"]
= [heta] surya | [shi]nu n'da ze?
-- "If I'm not nice to you, you're gonna kill me, right?" (fairly literal, except for flipping the second verb from "then I die")

+++

Her: あんただって　ひどい言葉　使ったじゃない
- 言葉: [kotoba], "word(s), speech"
= anta datte | hidoi [kotoba] | [tsuku]tta ja-nai
[@#&*@#* how does the negative copula factor in? the affirmative equivalent "tsukutta desu" seems to be an emphatic statement: "I made this!" The word order doesn't seem right for "I won't kill you now, but you used such harsh words earlier."]
-- "It can't be true that you said such cruel words to me"? [rhetorical denial?]

#27#

The two surrounding caption blocks on this level are totally killing me-- I'm not certain who has which lines, or even nec'ly which order they're supposed to be in. This makes for a truly awful number of possible results, esp. when I'm desperately wrenching the syntax in all directions. Had to delete the discarded options because of post size limit.

Right-side caption block (under previous image frame):　
ばばぁでもいいの？　決まってんだろ
- 決まる: [ki]maru, "be settled/decided" possible pun wrt opening scene with alt. meaning "look good in an outfit"
= babaa demo ii no? | [ki]matte n'darou
- demo ii no: "it's okay if..."?
= hag it's-fine-if? | is-already-settled

Left-side caption block (directly under first two caption blocks):
ガキでもいいのか？　もちろにょ
= GAKI demo ii no ka? mochiron yo
= kid it's-fine-if [Q]? of-course [mM]

R-IY: "I don't mind if you grow old"
L-IY: "but do you really want to be with a little kid?"

Caption block #5:　そんなの　関係ない......
- 関係: [kankei], "relation, connection"
= sonna-no [kankei] nai...
= that-kinda relation not
(see next line)

#40#

Narrative caption: そばにいたい
= soba-ni itai
- itai: "want to exist" or "painful"?
= beside-you [?]
[remixing]
-- "I want to stay beside you... but that kind of relationship [seeing you grow old] would be painful [for me]."

He pulls her into his lap on the bed: ~すと...~ (suto: crumpling/sitting down noise)

+++

These two sounds are actually reversed in terms of layout; the first one is in the lower left corner from his arm sliding under her blouse, and the second is up by his head as he squeezes underneath.
~す... | くん~ (su... | kun)

Her: 　あ.. (a...)

+++

Part of a balloon seems to be cut off by the scan margin, but I think it's another あ (a, "Ah").

He claws her bra apart: ~ビッ~ (PI*, "rip")

+++

~ドキドキドキ~ (DOKIDOKIDOKI: pounding heartbeats)

Her: ま。た。　｜破った　
- 破る: [yabu]ru, "tear apart, destroy"

-- "I'll prove to you that I'm not a child..."

#42#

IY's sound effects; the first is near his hand in the top panel, and the second is in his hair in the middle panel.
~きゅ | くち~ (kyu | kuchu : squeeze | smooch)

Kagome's sound effects, scattered down the page:
っは ｜ はっ　｜は... | んっ~

やっ　｜　やめてっ!! (ya* | yamete*!!)

[misc protests: "no, eek, take it out" etc.]

-- "I'm scared!"

[Dammit, not another "painful defloration" scene.]

#44#

misc. moaning-type sounds leaking out of smoochage: んぅ。。。　｜　は... (nu... | ha...)

IY (on the upper corner of the dark background):
恥ずかしいのも　怖いのも　｜　おれだって　同じだ.....
= [hazu]kashii-no-mo [kowa]i-no-mo | ore datte [ona]ji da...

IY: 越えたい...| おまえを
- 越える: [ko]eru, "cross over, pass through"

And this last line is in the lower part of the main page again:

-- "and never be separated--"

[...Bad Thought that always strikes me wrt inuyoukai smut-- do their canine characteristics include the lockdown effect?]

+++

Her (in her hair): は... (ha...)

Him: っ...... かごめ...　
-- "(gasp)... Kagome..."

Still him: くっ (ku*)
[Pretty sure this is an abbreviated orgasm announcement, but also note the wordplay tie-in to the next line; the verb does literally indicate motion. A looser alternate might be "I'm almost there--".]
-- "I'm coming--"


待っててくれ....
= [ma]tte'te-kure
-- "Keep waiting for me..."

#46#

すぐに追いつくー

-- "Wha-- stop sayin' stuff like that! (Are you cryin' again?) | (jeez!)"

Kagome: だって... (datte...)
-- "But..."

#48#

The upper right panel seems cut off by the scan again; the sound effect seems to be ホン (HON) or ポン (PON) or ボン (BON). (lightbulb-type "idea" moment?)

Could there be a page missing here? The filename numbering is continuous, but this is an awfully sudden switch.

IY: お、　そういやかごめ、　コンパはどーした
= o.. sou-iya Kagome, KOMPA-wa do--shita
- sou-iya: slurred version of "sou ieba" or similar?

block kana falling into IY's head: ~どろ~ (DORO)

*splat* Have limped and spackled my way to the end in typically pathetic form-- the result mostly makes sense, but in a lot of places I have no idea whether it has any real relation to the original text :b

Possible continuity conflict-- in this doujinshi, the main plot is marked as 2011, with Kagome age 21; the epilogue photos are dated from 2005-2010. However, Takahashi canonically places the start of the IY manga in 1997 when Kagome is ~15 years old. (The 1997 date is captioned into the manga; it's not just contextual from IY beginning publication in 1996.)

According to the traditional Asian age count, a child is 1 year old at birth and is considered one year older on every New Year's Day, but even with the maximum leeway from cross-referencing that with the Western chronological age system (chronologically 13 in 1997, chronologically 21 = 8 years later), the main plot date should be capped at 2005.

The beginning date may be a typo for 2002 (there should be another zero in the middle, and the numeric strokes should be paired in a different way than printed), which would be consistent with chronological age = 15 in 1997 = traditional age 16-17; traditional age 21 (chron. 19-20) = 4-5 years later = 2001-2002. This would place the epilogue photos after the main plot, making Kagome 29 years old in 2010.

OTOH, in the first dated photo (2005), Kagome still seems to be wearing her regular school uniform from the series, so maybe RasBlue is ignoring the Takahashi 1997 cite by letting Kagome's age drift along with the publication dates. (This doujinshi's publication date was March 2006.) If Kagome is still 15 years old in 2005, then that makes 2011 consistent with age 21.
