Part 3 (Final)

The end. Thank you for reading!! Well, that’s the gist of it. Are Nathaniel and Ptolemy similar? How did Bartimaeus see them? That’s the theme. The two might have had some similarities, but fundamentally, they’re complete opposites. Even so, Bartimaeus will likely never forget either of them. Hmm, I might come back and add more later. Since I translated everything at once, there might be translation errors, less suitable translations, or spelling mistakes. If you find any mistakes or have suggestions for more appropriate translations, please let me know.

Part 1

Part 3

Is it difficult to read in this format? The last part has not been translated yet, so it will be a while. ※Bart does not want Nathaniel to become Ptolemy. He wants to establish the same kind of trust with Nathaniel that he established with Ptolemy. At the same time, he has completely given up, thinking that it is impossible.

Part 3

I found out that I can upload a number of photos to Tumblr from PC. In any case, it is impossible to upload them all at once, so I'll upload the first part as a test, even though it might be a bit difficult to read. It is a manga in which Bartimaeus continually compares Nathaniel and Ptolemy. I am strongly pro-BartNat, but the main focus is on recreating the relationships in the original book, so there is platonic love but no romance portrayal. I will upload more as soon as the translation is finished. It would be helpful if you could point out where the translation is wrong. I have cut some dialogue and changed some phrases due to word count, so please let me know if you have a more appropriate translation. Thank you!

so at this year's Seiyuu Awards, kiuchi-san was one of the winners for best supporting actor (and basically wore a mizuki closet cosplay to the event >_>)

and seki-san was one of the winners for best leading actor (from 3:40 in the video below)

and seki-san said in his acceptance speech that genazo can also be seen as a movie where he and kiuchi-san play double lead roles

so he personally considers his award as something presented to both him and kiuchi-san

😭😭😭 thank you seki-san

Yamino even wrote a novel once, but it was terrible.

That leads me to wonder if Yamino is just a bad storyteller in general after this bit happened

[a-certain-ontology]

I love manga Yamino infinitely more than anime Yamino. There's just so much more of him, that's why lol

He's so interesting!

He's a talented chef and cleans obviously

He can fight actually!!! He taught himself how to use the tonfa, so cool

And later in snk, he took a martial arts class

He's very perceptive. I think he's the first to notice when things go down or something just isn't right

He's in a mountain climbing club!!! It's probably another snake thing like how he sheds

He likes tv dramas

He could probably become a seamstress if he wanted. I'm sure he'd make outfits that would slay

And speaking of, he's good at quilting and handmade crafts. Imagine, Yamino launches an Etsy store

[a-certain-ontology]

lots of great details in the afureko script (including which shots are from certain POVs, and describing what characters are thinking) but one thing i didn't expect was in the scene where they're running through the shrine gates: the script notes that mizuki should be panting but gegerou isn't since he's not human. just a really nice, rigorous detail

the script also mentions the hidden youkai, only a couple of which i've ever managed to spot when watching... need to rewatch those parts

[a-certain-ontology]

my "1.5kg box containing mizuki's memories" aka the ゲ謎 deluxe blu-ray arrived and it is overwhelming. truly a must-buy for any ゲ謎 fan who can afford it. feels like i'll spend weeks/months going through it (in both senses lol)

(spoilers, esp for toco-sensei's drama CD imageboards)

- blu-rays of both the PG-12 version and R15 真生版, with two audio commentaries... it is also hilarious to me that they provided character-based supercuts

- the drama CD!!!

- booklet with character and prop designs, long interviews with many staff members, storyboards of key scenes (!)

- the afureko script is immense and includes directorial instructions copied from the storyboards (based on a brief comparison with the storyboards in the booklet)... extremely excited to read this. the note in the final scene, with mizuki trying but failing to remember... crying

- visual extras including the reproduced photographs 🥺

and of course toco-sensei's drama CD imageboards!!!!! omg. the sheer density of these... i could live off these for months!!! non-exhaustive highlights:

- bath + post-bath scene (mizuki with wet hair... precious) + actual narrative explanation for how and why gegerou obtained the sake

- so many cute drinking moments... mizuki lying down and looking at the sky 🥹🥹🥹

- mizuki as a kid 🥺🥺🥺

- osada and otome lore (!!!!!) ...the picture with young osada being shorter than her oh no

- the 修学旅行の夜感 caption was so cute

- the doodle of white-haired mizuki and medama-oyaji eating discounted bananas... thank you for this glimpse of post-movie domestic life T_T

- i did wonder if mizuki really had gone to a ginza parlour for a cream soda (or if he was just saying that since sayo was interested), but if he has a sweet tooth then that explains it..!

how am i expected to cope with the knowledge that mizuki's official height is 164cm. how. tell me how

[a-certain-ontology]

after reading too many interviews, my general sense is:

director koga: wants to stress that this is a cross-gen バディもの and gegerou sees mizuki as a kid

kiuchi-san: gegerou fanboy who doesn't understand why everyone has the hots for mizuki

seki-san: ships it

[a-certain-ontology]

some notes from spoon.2Di 114 (before the new interviews come out...)

director koga gou

the ryuuga family members have their left eyes pierced when they die because the skull used for the kyoukotsu barrier also has that eye pierced through... can't believe i didn't draw this link. also the eye imagery links even to medama-oyaji and kitarou himself

screenwriter yoshino hiroyuki

the drama CD scenes are all meant to be missing scenes from the movie (with very clear places in the timeline)

he discussed the drama CD with director koga and toco-sensei; some of the ideas that toco-sensei drew are in the deluxe bluray (the imageboard series visible in recent photos of the contents)

he gives so many drama CD spoilers in this interview, lol

kiuchi hidenobu

apart from ofc getting him to read 『総員玉砕せよ!』, director koga gave him a copy of the made-in-1956 movie 『あなた買います』 to watch

toco-sensei

re: the audience tokuten illustrations: during the scenario meetings, she drew various imageboard sketches, and these included 「目玉おやじが夢見た景色」, of all four of them at a rooftop amusement park... which formed the basis of those tokuten illustrations. i'm so sad

[a-certain-ontology]

WAIT omg i just realised they used that immortal line from meteor garden: "If apologies were of any use, we wouldn't need the police." of all the unexpected references...

listening to the genazo drama CD preview and they actually reference/explain mizuki giving his dinner to gegerou the night after hinoe died... but also the whole clip is just so silly. can't wait for the bluray set to arrive

(osada and otome also get voice credits on the CD, so that should be interesting...)

chapter notes - matoba seiji

a compilation of all of midorikawa's chapter notes concerning matoba (as of volume 29)

all are from the official viz releases, translated by lillian olsen.

Chapters 23 - 26 - Inhuman Thing I didn't have a chance to write a story about Matoba until now due to page constraints or manga cycling issues in the magazine. I had fun when I finally got around to it. Matoba's appearance means Natori's hardships become more obvious. Natori settled upon his current philosophy after a lot of reflection. But then he sees Natsume wrestling with the same choices and slogging through the same place he used to be, and it's both amusing and frustrating at the same time for him. Natsume might realize this and not be able to presume so much on his kindness. Natsume and Natori are left with a problem, so l hope to take my time drawing them dealing with it.

Volume 9 (General afterword) I enjoyed drawing a bit about Matoba. He has several titles. He’s the organizer of the assembly of exorcists, so he’s called “Chairman” during the meetings. He’s the young head of the family from a regular human perspective, and known as the leader of his clan to yokai. Natsume has been more relaxed lately, so it’s very fun to draw something tense like this once in a while. I’d like to write thoroughly about exorcists some time when I have the opportunity. Seeing Matoba and Natori side by side here, they’re clearly eccentrics. I’m relieved that Natsume seems normal by comparison.

Chapters 52 - 54 - Behind the Chains Natsume is now able to face a variety of things. But I also feel that the distance between him and Natori grows each time they encounter one another. They see the same things and hope for the same outcome, but because their paths are a little different, it's hard for them to take action when they're together. It's a strange feeling. I'm sure Natori wants to remain Natsume's ally, and Natsume wants the same with Natori. I'm happy I got to draw more about Matoba, too. Whereas Natori tries to do what's right and is afraid of making a mistake, I think Matoba is the kind of person who doesn't fear making mistakes.

Chapter 77 - The Two Rings This was another story I had always wanted to do, but the timing never worked out, so I was very happy to get to it now. When I'm drawing Natsume, I always agonize over his dialogue and pick his words carefully. But when I'm drawing the Matoba clan, I don't have to think about the impression they're making, and I just use words that pop up in my head. Mr. Natori is somewhere in between. It's always a bit refreshing to draw the exorcists. I hope people form their opinions of Mr. Matoba based on what's on the page. In good ways and bad, he's a character who lies but is also uninhibited.

Special Episode 17 - A Hand Extended They let me do another episode of Natori as a high school student. There was another anecdote I wanted to include, but it wouldn't fit, no matter how hard I tried to rearrange things. Still, I'm happy I could depict more of Natori and Matoba's relationship. Sometimes you can't come to an understanding with a person, but once you become aware of your own feelings, you can often begin to be more objective. Then you start to see aspects of the person that change your mind, which is natural. But unlike Natsume, Natori can be stubborn and won't allow his feelings to change. It was interesting to see how Natori would feel about the aloof and unwavering Matoba.

Special Episode 19 - An Abandoned Station in the Rain With 16 pages, the plot could have felt too similar to other Special Episodes, so I decided to do a simple story just about running into someone unexpected. It was fun showing Matoba being himself. Mr. Matoba knows yokai who live in a slightly different world from the one Natsume knows, and Nyanko Sensei knows both worlds. I'd like to do more stories about the two of them.

Chapters 92 - 94 - The House of Promises I have a memory of some boys climbing the gate of the town hall to pick some loquats at the end of spring and getting scolded. I made it seem like spring when the chapter appeared in the magazine, but then I heard that loquats ripen in early summer, so my older sister helped me race to redraw the clothing into something more summery before the graphic novel release. I enjoyed drawing the exorcists. Mr. Natori just can't catch a break and Mr. Matoba has many things going for him, but he often gets shut out. They don't really get along, and they're skeptical of each other even when real empathy is extended. Natsume is always at least trying to listen, so conversations are easier with him present. No matter what, Mr. Natori is older, and Mr. Matoba is younger. End of story. When I include the exorcists, there are all these dilemmas and convolutions that make things complicated and fun to draw. It feels fresh to me. I get nostalgic for the first time Natsume and Mr. Natori met when they're together. Their bond is getting deeper, but it was easier before for Mr. Natori to casually invite Natsume on outings. When you know someone a long time, there are more things to say, but sometimes, just as many things remain unsaid.

Chapters 103 - 104 - Where Vessels Lie in Slumber* I was so happy to work on a longer story for once. My head starts filling up with what to do next while I'm still working on the current episode. when I'm in one-shot mode. But being able to linger on a story arc reminded me of the excitement I felt back when I first wanted to be a manga artist. I still have a lot of storylines I'd prefer not to cut short, so I hope I get more opportunities like this. I've wanted to do this particular story for a long time, but. I feel like it could only be done now because of how Natsume's currently feeling. I hope you can pick up on how Natori and Matoba's relationship changes subtly depending on the situation, and that you get a feel for their solidarity as exorcist peers. It was so fun drawing everything I wanted to include: Natsume's faith in his friends; Natori's belief that he can still offer help even as an exorcist; Matoba, who's sometimes prevented from action because he knows and sees too much; Tanuma, who's surely able to help, but is unable to accompany Natsume; the cats protecting their secret; Nyanko Sensei. And of course there were even more things I wanted to expand on, so I'll take my time working them out.

*The first three chapters of this arc are in the previous volume and there's not enough in the other note for me to include.

[a-certain-ontology]

chapter notes - natori shuuichi

a compilation of all of midorikawa's chapter notes concerning natori (as of volume 29)

all are from the official viz releases, translated by lillian olsen.

Chapter 7 - He Can See For the first time, Natsume meets someone else who can see yokai too. I was pretty nervous because I was breaking the established rule that only Reiko and Takashi Natsume were different. Natsume kept running away from yokai, but I made Natori into an expert who kept proactively learning about yokai. I wanted to draw someone who indentured yokai even though he doesn't like them. I wanted his mark to look a little like a human figure upon closer inspection. Natori doesn't like Natsume's hypocrisy, and Natsume doesn't like how Natori doesn't bother to explain his actions and makes himself out to be worse than he really is. I feel like Natsume finally realized how difficult it is for people to understand each other, no matter how similar or different they are.

Chapter 11 - The Meeting of Exorcists l enjoyed being able to do another story with Mr. Natori. I have an easy time with plots that advance by things happening, but there isn't as much emotional content, so l was nervous about reader reaction. But they seemed to enjoy it because it was unusual. Natsume is surprised that there are so many others who can see yokai, but he can't even tell yokai and humans apart, so most of the crowd he saw were yokai. And I hadn't drawn a human woman (Ms. Nanase) in a while. There should be lots of things Natsume can learn from Natori that wil make life easier, but it's an interesting question whether those lessons will alter his relationship with yokai. Will he be able to come to an understanding with people who share the same abilities? I was happy to reveal a little more about Reiko, but the difficulty is that focusing on her story would disrupt the episodic nature of the series.

Chapter 14 - Natsume Goes to the Hot Springs Natsume went on his first overnight trip. I wanted to try all sorts of things since Natori was making a repeat appearance, but then I was given the chance to have Natsume be the first manga in that month's issue. Since it's an important slot, l aimed for a story suitable for first-time readers. The two of them have gotten so used to lying with smiles on their faces, but they’re finally realizing that there's something inherently wrong with that. Natori is good at giving advice, but not comfort. At first, l used to feel oddly sad when I was drawing stories about Natsume and Nyanko Sensei, but these days I feel that way with Natsume and Natori. Maybe that means they're starting to understand each other.

Chapters 20 - 22 - Takashi's Friend Natori gets a thankless role, but I don't want to draw just kindness all the time, so he's very useful. When two awkward, clumsy people get together, things might not always end well, but I like such people anyway. It was fun to draw Taki again, and a child like Kai.

Chapters 23 - 26 - Inhuman Thing I didn't have a chance to write a story about Matoba until now due to page constraints or manga cycling issues in the magazine. I had fun when I finally got around to it. Matoba's appearance means Natori's hardships become more obvious. Natori settled upon his current philosophy after a lot of reflection. But then he sees Natsume wrestling with the same choices and slogging through the same place he used to be, and it's both amusing and frustrating at the same time for him. Natsume might realize this and not be able to presume so much on his kindness. Natsume and Natori are left with a problem, so l hope to take my time drawing them dealing with it.

Chapters 39 - 41 - The Harvest Festival The idea was to have Natsume and Natori get asked to do conflicting sides of the same job by yokai and humans, respectively. But when you give these two the same objective, they somehow hesitate, to see how the other makes a move, and agonize over whether they’re doing the right thing. They really shouldn’t be so alike, but it’s like they’re staring into a mirror. This is how they struggle for a solution, while Nyanko Sensei and Hîragi sigh in the background, I’m sure. They take pity upon each other that they have few friends. They want to remain friends and equals even when their opinions differ, and yet they have a strange inferiority complex towards each other.

Chapters 49 - 51 - Beyond the Glass Tanuma wants to help and tries to help, but he can’t. The more he tries to take action, the more he comes up against this wall. Natsume gradually realizes that while he wants to talk to Tanuma, it also puts him in a dilemma. Seeing this, Natori wants to say, “I told you so,” but he hopes that Natsume will be able to succeed where he failed. I was also excited that I could draw Sensei/Natsume with expressions that he doesn’t usually make. Natsume is really not very expressive with his face.

Chapters 52 - 54 - Behind the Chains Natsume is now able to face a variety of things. But I also feel that the distance between him and Natori grows each time they encounter one another. They see the same things and hope for the same outcome, but because their paths are a little different, it's hard for them to take action when they're together. It's a strange feeling. I'm sure Natori wants to remain Natsume's ally, and Natsume wants the same with Natori. I'm happy I got to draw more about Matoba, too. Whereas Natori tries to do what's right and is afraid of making a mistake, I think Matoba is the kind of person who doesn't fear making mistakes.

Volume 14 (Sidebar notes) It feels strange - I'm not quite sure if he's changed since he first showed up. His thoughts towards Natsume are changing, but maybe the man himself won't.

Chapters 60 - 62 - Different Eyes The Book of Friends is the reason yokai come after Natsume. He wants to talk to Natori about it, but since exorcists are a threat to yokai, and since he literally holds the fate of many of them in his hands, he doesn't want to betray them. Back in volume one, Natsume might've taken the Book of Friends and disappeared with Nyanko Sensei somewhere if he really got into trouble. But working on this episode, I don't think he'd be able to do that any longer. How things have changed. I looked at Natsume trying to understand Tanuma even though they live in different worlds, and I thought he was doing the right thing, but the whole thing also felt comical. I wondered how Natori felt when he saw Matoba making Natsume help with the exorcism work. This case was frustrating for Natori, who had to witness his old mentor become so oblivious that he could no longer see yokai in his own house. I think the existence of Natsume, with his different opinions, and Hîragi and the others, continue to affect Natori. I would've liked to draw more about Mr. Takuma and Tsukiko, so I'll do it when I get another opportunity.

Special Episode 15 - A World Without Distortion This was a story I've been longing to work on. I couldn't fit in all the parts I wanted, even though they let me do a two-parter, so I hope to get another opportunity some other time. I'd like to show more of the dilemma and frustration of wanting to do the right thing but having your actions distort your goals.

Chapters 72 - 73 - Closed Room Natsume had made up his mind to keep the book of friends a secret, but Natori ended up overhearing about it from another yokai - quite an undesirable situation. He decided he couldn't pretend it didn't happen. I think it had great meaning for Natsume to tell him with his own words, albeit belatedly. Meanwhile, since Natori had some clue about what it was, I think Natsume's decision to tell him meant more to Natori. I think he's the kind of guy who would act differently based on whether Natsume was willing to tell or not. I can't describe it very well, but with these two, when one of them steps forward, the other stalls out. I was happy I was able to draw Ms. Nanase again.

Chapter 77 - The Two Rings This was another story I had always wanted to do, but the timing never worked out, so I was very happy to get to it now. When I'm drawing Natsume, I always agonize over his dialogue and pick his words carefully. But when I'm drawing the Matoba clan, I don't have to think about the impression they're making, and I just use words that pop up in my head. Mr. Natori is somewhere in between. It's always a bit refreshing to draw the exorcists. I hope people form their opinions of Mr. Matoba based on what's on the page. In good ways and bad, he's a character who lies but is also uninhibited.

Chapter 78 - Tsukihigui I wanted Natsume to have different reactions that usual, so I picked a story not in the past or in the present, but a weird in-between. I debated a lot whether to have little Natsume be taken care of by the Yatsuhara yokai or the humans Tanuma and Taki. But upon further reflection, since Nyanko sensei is yokai, Tanuma and Taki would have a different approach to the situation and be more fun. It would've been interesting to go to Natori and have all three of them stare at each other with furrowed brows, but I discovered that whereas Natori would have a difficult time adapting to a situation like this, the students would display steadier nerves.

Special Episode 17 - A Hand Extended They let me do another episode of Natori as a high school student. There was another anecdote I wanted to include, but it wouldn't fit, no matter how hard I tried to rearrange things. Still, I'm happy I could depict more of Natori and Matoba's relationship. Sometimes you can't come to an understanding with a person, but once you become aware of your own feelings, you can often begin to be more objective. Then you start to see aspects of the person that change your mind, which is natural. But unlike Natsume, Natori can be stubborn and won't allow his feelings to change. It was interesting to see how Natori would feel about the aloof and unwavering Matoba.

Chapter 87 - Natsume in the Moonlight This one was 30 pages, so it was compact, but I wanted to make something that was a little creepy. You know how it's exciting to see a friend late at night, in a different light? This story couldn't be done with Tanuma, who knows Natsume's circumstances. It was only possible with Nishimura, who wouldn't question who the person in front of him was. If Natsume went to visit Kitamoto at night, he'd panic, scold him and send him home. And Tanuma would notice that something was off and cross-examine him. It would get even more out of hand with Natori, causing a domino effect. Though all of them would be fun and exciting. I only realized after the fact that someone who knows about Natssume's circumstances would make things more complicated in this type of story.

Chapters 92 - 94 - The House of Promises I have a memory of some boys climbing the gate of the town hall to pick some loquats at the end of spring and getting scolded. I made it seem like spring when the chapter appeared in the magazine, but then I heard that loquats ripen in early summer, so my older sister helped me race to redraw the clothing into something more summery before the graphic novel release. I enjoyed drawing the exorcists. Mr. Natori just can't catch a break and Mr. Matoba has many things going for him, but he often gets shut out.

No matter what, Mr. Natori is older, and Mr. Matoba is younger. End of story. When I include the exorcists, there are all these dilemmas and convolutions that make things complicated and fun to draw. It feels fresh to me. I get nostalgic for the first time Natsume and Mr. Natori met when they're together. Their bond is getting deeper, but it was easier before for Mr. Natori to casually invite Natsume on outings. When you know someone a long time, there are more things to say, but sometimes, just as many things remain unsaid.

And of course there were even more things I wanted to expand on, so I'll take my time working them out.

*The first three chapters of this arc are in the previous volume and there's not enough in the other note for me to include.

Chapter 116* - The Younger Cousin This is a story I'd been saving for a long time. I had a clear vision of what I wanted to do, and I was worried about whether I could pull it off. I finally managed to thanks to my editor and everyone who supported me. I hop I was able to depict Natori's point of view, since he slips between the yokai and human worlds much more than Natsume, and how that appears from the yokai point of view. While Natsume has a narrow set of experiences in a narrow field, Natori has so much freedom and yet somehow seems much more trapped. I hope I can depict the path he's taken and the path he's going to take.

*Again, this arc is split between volumes and there wasn't much in the previous afterword.

[a-certain-ontology]

also i finally bought the genazo screenplay... haven't read all of it yet, but the version we eventually got is so much better ;_;

i wonder which changes were due to director koga (the final movie is definitely much, much better about letting things go unsaid) and which were more attributable to toco-sensei... i def appreciate how much more vulnerable mizuki is in the final version. and some of the most memorable lines weren't in the original screenplay (not least 「友よ　お主が生きる未来　この目で見てみとうなった」)

[a-certain-ontology]

listening to the genazo drama CD preview and they actually reference/explain mizuki giving his dinner to gegerou the night after hinoe died... but also the whole clip is just so silly. can't wait for the bluray set to arrive

(osada and otome also get voice credits on the CD, so that should be interesting...)
