Hello everyone! I actually started this project a loooooong time ago, and it's a really crappy low-key (but hopefully readable-enough until we get a more official release--I used the Chinese scans for a reason) translation of SUZUKI Julietta's (Kami-sama Hajimemashita!) new manga that I am so thrilled to finally get to read. Big kudos to C. (for making me realize I wasn't using proper names) and Last Heaven Fansub to get this out. I will most likely NOT continue this series, as I now know other more popular groups are planning to take it on. Sure is tempting, though.
Its more official title is Tripitaka Toriniku, but it's also been translated as Tripitaka Torinique. I will be using the former.
Tripitaka Toriniku
Description (by me): Kaka, an unusually strong girl with a talent for combat, sees it has her duty to protect and assist her caretaker and master Genjou-sama, a kind but frail young priest who nearly died saving her from a tiger. When poisoned water threatens to destroy their village, Genjou-sama leaves for the capital to find a solution. In his absence, demons burn down their formerly peaceful village and transform the villagers placed under Kaka's care into monkeys.
Kaka flees in a desperate attempt to find Genjou-sama, only to find a haughty powerful spirit is now using his body as a vessel! She learns that the human Emperor has been secretly replaced by the evil Demon King, and that this spirit has come back for one simple purpose: to restore order. The contact he offers is simple. If she accompanies him on his journey to the capital and all goes according to plan, the spirit will give Genjou-sama back, relinquishing the priest's body and retrieving his soul from the underworld. Will Kaka take the risk?
