I don't really know either! we're not at volume 3 yet, we might get better scans by then.

this is what I did so far :

page 1
Prologue: May an eternal spring bath the happiness land of Pyou'an.

Twelve times a hundred years have passed since Emperor Kammu funded his capital at Heian, in the land of Yamashiro.

... even today, if I only let my thoughts wander... always, they take me back to these times. Great Times...


I dedicate this book to Abe no Seimei.

page 6
During the Heian period...

within the core of this pediod of peace and prosperity that was latter called "Blessed Engi era", under the reign of Emperor Daigo...

a world of thick darkness and dark forces remained in every places...


Indeed, flip this peaceful and prosperous era like a kimono : on the back side, it is at the same period that Sugawara no Michizane's angry soul, having been vilely exiled by Fujiwara no Tokihira, roamed around the imperial palace, seeking revenge...

page 7
Yes, in this age of darkness yet thick, next to the blossoms of the exquisite refinement that would bloom almost one century later in the culture of the court...

demons, fairies and diabolical vengeful ghosts were still swarming.

page 8
Yet a child is staring at this darkness without fear...

His name is Abe no Seimei.

page 9
Seimei: Lord Tadayuki!

mustache guy: Lord Kamo-no-Tadayuki, are you already going home?

mustache guy: Ah, I understand... the Onmyoudo Bureau must be overworked, I imagine.

page 10
mustache guy: Last year already, between the typhoons and the flood, I think the Shimogyo rice fields were entirely under water...

mustache guy: And now these drought... Is all of this still the angry soul of Lord Sugaware no Michizane?

mustache guy: I am not doubting one moment that your Bureau of yin and yang are very busy with finding a way to sooth him...

mustache guy: Are you not, my Lord?


mustache guy: Tell me, is it true what they say? That against his curse, prayers to Fudo-Myoo aren't working at all?

Tadayuki: Why don't you ask this question to a bonze?


mustache guy: Ahem.

mustache guy: By the way, I heard you took a new student?

Tadayuki: You mean Seimei?


mustache guy: I heard he was Abe no Masuki, the former kitchen chambellant's son.

mustache guy: They even say his mother wasn't human...

mustache guy: *small* Who knows what went through Lord Masuki's head...

mustache guy: But was a Kitsune named Arrowroot Flower.

Tadayuki: Really?


is that clear enough for you?

They redrew the sound effects in French. You could annotate them if you want. I know hiragana and katakana if that may help with that - although sound effects are typically obscure.
