Spirits Are Forever With You [Narita-san novel]

[Arie]

Alright, after much debating between the scanlation team, we have decided that we'll keep the full translations in the locked section.

However, we will also post summaries of the novel here [we plan to release batch of chapters, so the summaries will follow this rule too]. There is no timeline for us to release anything - you will get it when it's ready. At least people who didn't get yet in the locked section will be able to have the summaries - so don't despair!

People from the locked section will chat about the novel here, in this very thread. So if you have one specific question regarding the summary, maybe they can help you.

As Annie already stated, IF there is any IchiRuki stuff, the FC will get the full translation. But honestly, I doubt this, it doesn't look like Narita-san's style [look more forward Makoto-san's novel for this].

This will be the official thread for the novel. I will reopen it with the next summaries - we are still debating if we should do a summary from the last excerpt, because well, it's quite short.

As you know, Pikeish is in Japan right now and she just got the novels

Here are the pics she took, but don't forget: it's not use to ask for any translation She's the only one who got them and she is travelling right now (no order in the pics)
Also please: do not repost anywhere.



Some sketchs are just awesome (that second Kenpachi is...). Also, it's confirmed that the woman from the excerpt is that Kenpachi's zanpakutou.

And opening this XD

Nya, thank you Pikeish for those pics and Syn for posting them. I couldn't post any of them. But these prove how much Kubo enjoys this novel. He sure drew a lot of new sketches. Don looking serious and injured are my fave along with Kenpachi one.

So I was right that she's Azashiro's zanpakutou xD It did freak me out a bit when we learn that she looks exactly like Azashiro's sister. But his past sounds so sad ;_;

Thank you Arie and Pikeish for sharing!
I especially liked the sketches for Don Kanonji (Why so serious in those sketches?  ), Zaraki, the chibi Arrancars, and of Ikkaku and Yumichika (their appearance made me more excited ).

Thank you Arie and Pikeish for post this picture... 

Wow, this is great!!! I can't wait to see the translation 
Why those books only sell in japan? I wish I can go there... #crying 

Wow, we can see the Kenpachi's zanpakutou  in here? Can't wait~

Sorry, when I talk about Kenpachi's zanpakutou, I meant Azashiro's zanpakutou - who is also "Kenpachi".

Ah, 'the other' kenpachi... 

maybe, the old kenpachi?

Wow so many pics Pikeish is so awesome  thank you also to Arie for sharing them 
I especially like the second sketch of Mayuri and the second one of Azashiro

Thank you for taking those pics, Pikeish and thank you for sharing them Arie.

These sketches look amazing, Kubo seems to really like this novel to have done so many sketches. I love the second Kenpachi sketch, he has that usual dangerous vibe to him.

Sorry, I missed this picture in my batch (thank you Annie for noticing it, and Pikeish for reuploading it):
