I finished KAMUI #9.

Wow...I can't believe it's only two more volumes!

Finished Shugo Chara 3



I finished Shugo Chara 3.

A couple of translation notes.
Ajitama, which I also included in volume 1.
These are flavored boiled eggs.
"Aji" is "flavor" and "tama" is short for "tamago," which is "egg."

You make these by first boiling an egg.

After you boil them to your taste (hard-boiled, etc...I prefer hard-boiled), you chill them immediately.

While chilling the egg, you make the sauce the egg will be sitting in.

Soy sauce, mirin (rice wine), and water.

You boil the sauce in a saucepan, and once it's hot, you pour it into a container.
Place the boiled egg inside the container (so that the sauce covers the egg completely), and let it sit.


Something like that.

Ajitama is great as a topping for ramen, just like PEACH-PIT says.
Usually it's just a normal hard-boiled egg, but if it's a nice ramen place, they will have ajitama.
