YES, GOOD. This is the kind of writing resource post we need more of. It covers the basics and gives you good jumping-off points to google more details on a specific condition, plus offers a bunch of great references at the end.
Shu: I kept coming across beautiful chocolate being sold everywhere and ended up buying quite a bit. I’ll give them out to everyone later.
Eichi: …I secretly tried to make chocolate sweets for everyone but got busted right away thanks to the smell of baking… haha…
Issei: Shu gave me some very premium-looking chocolate. I thought Valentine’s was a day for girls to give boys chocolate, but I guess these days there are all sorts of variations.
Icchi: I was wondering where the sweet smell was coming from. Turns out Eichi’s baking a chocolate cake! Can’t wait to eat it!

We would love to see what people can come up with as a tribute for this ship! We will really appreciate it even if you do only one day. Thank you and we hope to see everyone! ☆⌒(≧▽° )
Hello! This is something I’ve been working on for the better part of a week, but I’ve been attempting to write a translation for the drama CD. It was… pretty rough, to be honest, and I’m sure there’s some mistakes here and there. Please feel free to correct me on absolutely anything.
The drama CD has two separate stories, and this is the first one. I’ll be working on the second one soon enough, but both of them are pretty long. Please beware of a wall of text below the cut.
A hundred million thanks to @naoki-ss for uploading the drama CD tracks, I never would’ve been able to listen to them otherwise. The links to the audio of each track (at their tumblr) are placed at the beginning of each part of the translation (there are four). Enjoy!
Fukigen na Mononokean Drama CD - Part 1 “A Certain School’s Ghost Story”
Summary from official site: “Ashiya comes across some children making a fuss about a monster appearing at an old school building scheduled to be demolished. At the school, he meets a principal who was formerly appointed there and is asked to search for the source of the mysterious phenomena occurring.”
Notes I’m keeping for my own reference about the Fukigen na Mononokean universe. Always editing, and feel free to suggest anything interesting/corrections if I get something wrong.
Characters
The Mononokean has a feminine, refined speech style (emoticons aside).
Ashiya speaks to Abeno politely (desu/masu form). It’s weird for Ashiya to do this because they’re the same age, but in a volume extra Ashiya says it became a habit and can’t stop. This led to a humorous misunderstanding where a teacher thinks Abeno is blackmailing Ashiya.
Abeno’s very good at keigo. But he doesn’t speak formally to any of his superiors (Legislator, Justice, Executive).
There have only been two Mononokean masters (Aoi and Abeno).
Ashiya goes to the Mononokean even when there’s no work to do (ch20). He hangs out with Fushimi and Saga on other days.
Ashiya drinks coffee/(milk). (ch14, 24)
Fushimi likes to give nicknames? (Ashiyan, Abenon) Ashiya and Saga also call him “Fusshi”. He’s in the photography club.
Fuzzy lives in the Mononokean. He seems to be able to read!! (ch25)
The stink from the potatoes seemed to affect Abeno a bit more, since he seemed to be at the point of coughing and gagging. Does he have a strong sense of smell?
Abeno can forcibly exorcise demons against their will (Manjiro). (He probably didn’t do it for Nobou because the demon needed to come to terms/he couldn’t concentrate with the smell)
Both Ashiya and Abeno seem to have undefined powers of some sort that emanates as wisps from their hands.
Ashiya’s seems to come out unconsciously when he’s angry (capybara incident) and makes demons freeze up.
Abeno’s also come out when he’s angry (ch11) but also when he tries to subdue demons (Yahiko, the Executive) and he’s aware of them. He didn’t seem to notice when Ashiya was displaying the power with the capybara (although he might’ve just been too angry to notice). Are their powers the same? Are they just general “demon-subduing” powers?
Locations
The Legislator’s place, Newt Lake, is ~an hour’s walk (by Abeno’s shortcut) from Koura’s medicine shop.
There’s a storage room in the Mononokean; Abeno doesn’t let anyone in. So far it seems to include: cushions, pillows, towels, Abeno’s clothes, an inflatable beach ball.
Near Zenko’s temple, there’s a farm and a large graveyard.
Ashiya/Abeno/Zenko’s high school has at least three floors.
The nurse’s office is on the first floor, straight down a hallway from the lockers.
There are at least two classes for the first years, 1-1 and 1-2. Ashiya and Abeno are in 1-2, Zenko is in 1-1.
Ashiya’s student number is 1. Abeno’s student number is presumably 2.
There’s a snack/lunch store in the school run by two old ladies. If when Ashiya went is any indication, the line always seems to be long. They sell rice balls, tea, and bread.
There’s a convenience store near the school? Since Ashiya considers running to it during lunch.
Clubs in the school include photography, broadcast, archery?, kendo?, soccer?, baseball?, tennis?, ping-pong?. (the ones in question marks are what Ashiya imagines in chapter 26, not confirmed if they actually exist)
Other
Ashiya starts wearing his short sleeved uniform in chapter 26. So is it summer? For the sake of simplicity, if we say June is the start of summer, then by chapter 26 it’s been ~two months in-universe? (Japanese school years start in April)
In the mundane world at least, demons seem to “disappear” (Kinako) as their way of dying, rather than leaving a body. If they have certain conditions they must live under (Manjiro in the ring), their bodies become unstable and may lead to disappearing if they don’t follow those conditions.
Demons grow larger when they’re anxious about something.
The Mononokean says “unlike demons, there’s a limit to how long humans can live”, implying that other than from outside causes, demons are technically immortal?
The foxes on the gates to the Underworld are significant in some way (from vol 6.5). Related to Yahiko’s reason for not being able to go to the Underworld? Also the foxes on the gates usually have their eyes closed, but were creepily open after exorcising Kinako (ch32).
The gates to the underworld cannot let through demons larger than a certain size (as in they literally, physically can’t fit).
