So instead of doing my homework last night I translated a little part of the end of DRRRx6 that was relevant to my interests (ie: OT3) and I am sharing.
I sort of wish that Narita wrote more about Anri other than the chatroom thing, just wondering how "lonesome" she is after the whole kidnapping incident by the fake-Dollars.
I'd expect more out of Maosaomi, but I can understand why he doesn't confront Mikado at this critical moment in the story... before Mikado changes for the worse. Fear, as useful as it is in some circumstances, can be utterly debilitating.
As for Mikado, considering the direction the novel is going after vol. 8, he needs his two friends as much as they need him. One can go only so with the kind of mutual allies he has.
I read in another translation somewhere that Masaomi's fatal flaw is that he doesn't handle shame very well. He's still guilty about the Yellow Scarves fiasco and now that Mikado reminds him of his past, Masaomi's probably feeling even more guilt now. I also want to hear more about Anri! We haven't see her as much lately as some of the other characters.
I think she was shown enough for one volume though, as much as I like her as a character. Can't hog all the lime light from the other characters.
On different topic, have you read volume 7 yet? I've read somewhere that it's mainly about the live rivalry between Namie and Mika but have not found a good summary for it yet? It'd be nice to have one though.
Now that I think about it, we have seen quite a bit of her in volume 6. ^^; I've been reading bits and pieces from all over the timeline!
I haven't seen a full translation of volume 7, but the summary I found said that it's a bunch of vignettes about Izaya in the hospital. Basically, what Ikebukuro is doing without our favorite information broker. anni-fiesta has snippets of it (and I think there is a bit about Namie vs Mika (: )!
Thanks for the translation. Mikado stepping up like that kind of surprised me, but I guess that's in his nature. And then Kida walking away...I hope the Raira trio does reunite again.
