Finally realize the reason-- no, scratch that-- *one* reason why vol 10 of Onmyouji makes no sense is that I don't have vol 9. Should have picked it up at bookoff, I suppose, but reading amazon and bk1 reviews of my missing volumes, with their perennial phrases 'hard to understand' and 'not easy to make out,' kind of makes me glad I diidn't.

So why am I trying to read vol 10 again? Oh, practice for Youmi 4, I suppose. Even if reading Okano does tend to induce a 'despair and die' frame of mind. OTOH I suppose I should be cheered that the people whose native language this is have no idea what she's saying either.

If you need any vol of the Onmyouji manga (not sure if you are reading the manga or the novels) I can lend you whatever volumes you don't have. I have all 13.

Manga, yes. The novels are Yumemakura's and a piece of cake. If I grow desperate (but I have two thick volumes to plow through first) I may take you up on your offer, with thanks.

Great, just let me know when if you need them.
